Minnie D.
Craig Papers, 1904-1955 (Mss 282)
Scope and Content
The
Craig collection consists mainly of her handwritten autobiography and two
scrapbooks. The 99 page autobiography is incomplete and ends about
1946. The first scrapbook of newspaper clippings deals with Mrs.
Craig's political career in North Dakota, while the other deals with the
Craig family, beginning with Virgil L. Craig, who managed the 4,000 acre
farm at Spiritwood, North Dakota. The farm belonged to Edward O'Brien
of Thomaston, Maine, from 1884 until it was sold in 1902. The collection
also includes Mrs. Craig's handwritten reminiscences of the Craig family
and Mr. O'Brien. The correspondence file has very little material,
and the few pamphlets concern chiefly Maine.
