Talbot Papers: Articles: John Garvey

Custodial History: These papers were collected as part of a comprehensive study into the life and career of Colonel Thomas Talbot, the early nineteenth-century settlement agent whose authority extended over much of what is now southwestern Ontario. The research was conducted by Guy St-Denis in various archival repositories with the intention of publishing a new biography of Talbot. After the project was discontinued, the photocopied documents were preserved in hopes of being useful to future scholars of Talbot and his settlement. The files were compiled ca. 1985-2003.

Scope and Content: Original newspaper articles about Colonel Thomas Talbot, written by John Garvey, 1949, in The London Echo; they were part of a series entitled: "The Social, Business and Industrial Development of London and the Talbot Settlement: Gleaned by John Garvey from the Personal Records of Three Generations".
