The archive covers the men and their families over a time period from roughly 1850-1960, with the majority of ephemera dating from 1865, when Edward Dickson Hicks II (1831-1894) inherited the property from his aunt Fanny Harding and began raising Devon Farm cattle. The archive includes several hundred letters, many in original envelopes with postage stamps; dozens of postcards; several hundred receipts for furnishings, farm purposes, and services such as tuition of children from tutors and the Shelby Female Insititute (many on decorative letterhead of late 19th-early 20th century Nashville establishments); approximately 1 dozen land documents including deeds/indentures; broadside for the sale of Ed Hicks property Grassland, 12 miles southwest of Nashville; 50 to 100 photographs of family members, many identified verso, including an 8" x 10" print of Hunter Giers Hicks greeting First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt outside a train (the two ladies were said to have been friends), a photograph of Hunter Giers Hicks as a baby with her nurse Minnie, taken by her father, noted Nashville photographer Otto Giers, and scenes of cattle and farm life. 7 small notebooks/journals are present, including Ed Hicks account of his visit to the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exhibition in New Orleans in 1885 and his expenditures; 1858 savings deposit book; 1866 diary with mostly farm related entries; a circa 1868 account book; an 1849 school notebook; "Mrs. Hicks'" (probably Mary Ann White Hicks or Harriet Cockrill Hicks) 1903-1905 journal with entries, mostly personal, but including an eclipse in Africa "visible in America at daylight,", seeing a ferris wheel, yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans, creating "anxiety throughout the South"; peace between Russia and Japan - "Roosevelt is a peace maker;" and a 1907-1909 diary likely also from Mrs. Hicks, opens with "Today President Roosevelt arrived at nine o'clock and one grand __ was given him.

• JAMES MC NEIL WHISTLER PLAQUE BY VD
  JAMES MC NEIL WHISTLER PLAQUE BY VD BRENNER VD Brenner - 1905 James McNeil Whistler plaque in bronze Obverse has Whistler standing with hands on hips (and an interesting loose strand of hair flipped up) and Reverse has a posing peacock with the French greeting "Messieurs Les Ennemis" (Gentleman, the enemies). Whistler was apparently hyper-sensitive to criticism and once sued a critic. Peacocks were often a subject of Whistler as seen in his Peacock Room at the Smithsonian. Whistler had been contracted to lightly change the room so that it complimented Whistler?s painting ?The Princess from the Land of Porcelain.? Whistler completely re-did the room in gold and blue peacocks which stunned the owner, Frederick Leyland who then did not pay him and eventually it caused Whistler to go bankrupt. He then painted a portrait of Leyland as a Peacock/Human playing a piano surrounded by money bags. Apparently it was not good to be on Whistler's bad side
