Hiram Hill, of Williamsburg, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, was never a resident of Kansas. However, his involvement with the state, primarily as a land investor, was extensive. The letters and diary presented here are included as box three of the Hiram Hill papers. While the family correspondence does not relate specifically to Kansas, Hill's 1857 diary recounts the events and served as the account book for one of his numerous trips to Kansas. For more information on Hill's additional correspondence and business papers, click the link to the Hiram Hill collection description below.
