Dear Listmembers,
 
On behalf of a researcher I am looking for papers (especially a diary) of a
specific Archibald Gracie.  This is what I know about him:
 
Archibald Gracie was a Lieutenant in the United States Army who led the
military escort to the Indian treaty council at WallaWalla for Governor of
Washington Territory, Isaac I. Stevens, in the summer of 1855. He had forty
men under his command, including Lawrence Kip. Kip and Gracie wrote diaries
and Kip's has been published under the title "Army Life on the Pacific: A
Journal of the Expedition against the Northern Indians, the Tribes of the
Coeur d'Alenes, Spokans, and Pelouzes, in the Summer of 1858 and "The Indian
Council at WallaWalla," Sources of the History of Oregon, volume one, Part
II (Eugene, Oregon, 1897). Gracie, according to a letter his son, also named
Archibald Gracie, kept a diary of the WallaWalla Council as well--a diary
that the son had in his possession. The son was also writing a book about
his father as was Hazard Stevens, the son of Isaac I. Stevens, and the two
of the m corresponded in 1908. 
 
My thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
