Abstract

The papers were purchased in August, 1979. They relate to the entire process, from 1922-1924, of a statue honoring the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, born in Goshen, Connecticut, in 1800, elected to the New York State Senate in 1836, and served in the U.S. Senate from 1844-1851. The statue stands in front of the Broome County Court House in Binghamton, New York. The collection consists mainly of personal correspondence between the architect, John H. Duncan of New York City, Allen G. Newman, the sculptor from Kingston, and Charles F. Tupper of the Exempt Firemen's Association, the major sponsor of the project.
