HISTORICAL SKETCH
Lewis (Lew) Wallace (1827-1905) was born to David Wallace, an
Indiana Governor, and Esther French (Test) Wallace in
Brookville, Indiana. Wallace was a lieutenant in the 1st
Indiana infantry during the Mexican War, 1846-1847. In 1848
Wallace edited a Free Soil Party paper to oppose the election
of Zachary Taylor for president because he believed Taylor
treated Indiana regiments badly during the Mexican War. After
the election, Wallace became affiliated with the Democratic
Party. Wallace was admitted to the bar in 1849 and soon began
practicing in Indianapolis. A short time later, he moved to
Covington, Fountain County, where he was elected prosecuting
attorney in 1850 and 1852. Wallace moved to Crawfordsville in
1853 and was elected to the Indiana State Senate in 1856 as a
member of the Democratic Party.
In 1861, Governor Oliver P. Morton appointed Wallace Indiana
adjutant general. For his recruitment services, Wallace was
commissioned a colonel in the 11th Indiana Regiment and
distinguished himself at the battle of Romney. He was soon
promoted to general and fought at Fort Donelson and Shiloh,
1862. He was also in charge of the defense of Cincinnati,
1862-1863, and was credited with saving the city from falling
into Confederate hands. In 1864 he commanded a Union force of
5,800 at the Battle of Monocacy that held off an army of 28,000
Confederates and was credited with preventing the capture of
Washington, D.C. Wallace was a member of the court-martial
which tried the conspirators in the Lincoln assassination,
1865, and he was president of the commission that tried and
convicted Henry Wirz, commander of Andersonville Prison,
Georgia, 1865.
Wallace was also involved in acquiring arms and men for Mexican
rebels fighting the French, 1865-1867. In 1867, he returned to
Crawfordsville and was a Republican Party candidate for
Congress in 1870. Wallace was named to the committee to
oversee counting of disputed ballots in Florida, Louisiana, and
South Carolina after the 1876 presidential election. From
1878-1881 Wallace served as governor of New Mexico Territory.
He was then named U.S. Minister to Turkey, a position he held
from 1881-1885. While in Turkey, Wallace won the confidence of
the Sultan to an unusual extent.
Wallace was probably best known as an author. Among his works
were: The Fair God (1873); Ben-Hur (1880); The
Life of Benjamin Harrison (1888); The Boyhood of
Christ (1888); and The Prince of India (1893).
Wallace was married to Susan Elston in 1852. She was the
daughter of Col. Isaac C. and Maria A. Elston. Mrs. Wallace
was a frequent contributor to newspapers and periodicals.
The Dictionary of American Biography described Wallace
as: "... simple in taste and democratic in ideals. For
politics he had no aptitude; the law he did not like; the
military life challenged his adventurous spirit but could not
hold him after his country had no special use for his services;
art, music, and literature were his most vital and permanent
interests."

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The bulk of the collection is from the period 1846-1905 and
consists of Wallace's correspondence with his wife and son,
retained copies of Wallace's business and professional letters,
and letters to Wallace and his family. Included are Wallace's
letters from Mexico (1846-1847); letters to his wife describing
his military service and civil service careers during the Civil
War, in Mexico (1865-1867), New Mexico Territory (1878-1881),
Turkey (1885), and on his tours throughout the United States
(1886-1887, 1894). There are also many contemporary
transcriptions of these letters that are interfiled with the
originals, 1860s-1880s. Also included is Wallace's official
correspondence relating to the Civil War, New Mexico Territory
and the Lincoln County Wars, and Turkey. Also, copies of
Wallace's speeches as well as notes and printed materials used
in their writing, 1859-1903. In addition, the collection
contains Wallace's correspondence relating to Mexico
(1865-1867), his publishing and lecture work, and his business
interests in Crawfordsville, Indiana, Indianapolis, and New
Mexico. Also, Wallace's notebooks relating to the 1876
elections, New Mexico, Turkey, and lecture tours.
Also included are the papers of Wallace's wife, Susan Elston
Wallace (1830-1907), consisting of family correspondence, her
letters to her son, Henry, from Europe, Turkey, and Egypt
(1881-1882). There is also correspondence with publishers
regarding her own writings and clippings and scrapbooks she
assembled relating to Lew Wallace's life and times, 1861-1885.
In addition, there are letter books of Henry Wallace
(1853-1926) relating to the family's business interests, and a
lawsuit involving Wallace and his publisher, Harper & Brothers,
against producers Klaw and Erlanger regarding the theatrical
production of Ben Hur.
The collection also contains the papers of Wallace's father-in-
law, Isaac C. Elston (1794-1867) of Crawfordsville. The
majority of the material relates to Elston's business
interests, and in particular to the developing of Michigan City
(1830-1849). In addition, there is a small amount of Wallace
family papers and correspondence, papers, and printed items,
1814-1837. There is also Elston family correspondence,
primarily from the period 1865-1866 from Crawfordsville,
Cincinnati, and Washington, D.C., and Sylvia Elston's
scrapbook, 1846-1861.
The collection also genealogical materials such as charts,
correspondence, and related items regarding the Wallace,
Elston, and Test families. There are also some documents and
correspondence of the Test family, 1815-1908.
