                    through the combination of traditional scholarly editing with cutting edge

                    governed by the notion of what would work best in the high school and college
                    classroom, especially in terms of length and readability. The head editors

The Thomas Wilson Dorr Letters Project

The Thomas Wilson Dorr Letters Project

Letters selected, edited, and transcribed from the original manuscripts by Dr. Erik J. Chaput and Russell DeSimone with the assistance of Dr. Edward E. Andrews

Generated from data in Thomas Wilson Dorr Letters Project by Dr. Erik J. Chaput and Russell DeSimone

The Thomas Wilson Dorr Letters Project includes digital transcriptions of thirty letters from the Dorr Correspondence files in the Sidney S. Rider Collection at the John Hay Library (Brown University), the James Fowler Simmons Papers at the Library of Congress, the Gilder Lehrman Institute, and one letter from the private collection of Richard Slaney . The goal of the project is to further the digital exploration of Rhode Island history through the combination of traditional scholarly editing with cutting edge digital technologies. These letters illustrate aspects of race, reform, antislavery and proslavery politics, and, of course, the Dorr Rebellion. The selection of letters was governed by the notion of what would work best in the high school and college classroom, especially in terms of length and readability. The head editors ( DeSimone and Chaput ) also selected letters that had previously not been cited by historians of the Dorr Rebellion. The project was funded in part by a grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities.

There are more than 2500 hundred letters that are known to exist that either pertain to the Dorr Rebellion and its aftermath or the early life of the rebellion’s leader Thomas Wilson Dorr . In order to keep the number of letters selected for this project to a manageable number the editors focused on Dorr’s early life (Philips Exeter Academy and Harvard University), his early law career, his political career in the mid-1830s, and his emergence as the leader of the reform movement that sought to revise Rhode Island's archaic governing structure.
