The Great Plains History Collection, established at the Uni-
versity of Texas through the suggestion of Dr. W. P. Webb, may
be hoped eventually to mean for the Great Plains region what
the Littlefield Collection means to Southern History, the Garcia
Library to Spanish American history, and the University Archives

Among these materials from the upper part of the State should
be mentioned the Gunter, Munson, and Summerfield papers, a
collection of 40,212 documents relating to early surveys, land

23,631 SMS Ranch documents; the C. U. Connellee collection
of 13,312 manuscripts; the books and papers of J. M. Daugherty
of the "Figure 2" Ranch, approximately 2,000 pieces; the D. H.
and J. W. Snyder range books; the George H. McEntire U
Ranch papers; and a number of others. From the lower portions
of the State are the Ed C. Lasater documents; the Abel H.

Bolton records; the Joseph Henry Polley transcripts; and the
very significant Coleman-Fulton Pasture Company records and
correspondence, given by descendants of Governor Henry Smith
and Colonel George W. Fulton, 5,832 documents relating to
pioneer meat packing, development of transportation, and range
life.
These collections generally fall within the period 1850 to
1900, though the Polley papers antedate this period and the
