Scope and Content Note
This collection consists of one microfiche containing records associated with the Scottish Guard and the Charleston Militia Company, established in 1845. According to the description prepared at the time of filming, the records include membership lists and 1850 accounts of Donald Macintosh with the Charleston Total Abstinence Society.
The bulk of the volume consists of a commonplace book maintained by Donald Macintosh, and possibly others, containing copies of historical documents, excerpts from English authors, tabulations of votes from antebellum Charleston elections, reading notes on Friedrich Schiller and other authors, and an eulogy for John C. Calhoun. The materials provide insight into social, political, and intellectual interests in antebellum Charleston.
