Abstract	The Tucker family of Virginia include prominent family members John Randolph Tucker (1823-1897), constitutional lawyer, legal scholar, United States representative, 1875-1887; and his son Henry St. George Tucker (1853-1932), law professor, gubernatorial aspirant, and United States representative, 1889-1897 and 1922-1932. The collection includes personal, professional, and political correspondence of John Randolph Tucker and his son, Henry St. George Tucker, and scattered papers of earlier members of the Tucker and Powell families in Virginia. Papers include lifelong correspondence between father and son; wide correspondence among Democratic Virginia politicians and constituents, American jurists, and statesmen, and a large family connection; and letters and papers, chiefly postbellum, of William Preston Johnston (1831-1899), president of Louisiana State University and Tulane University and Henry St. George Tucker's father-in-law. Tucker correspondence, beginning 1843, concerns the law practice of father and son and other litigation in Virginia; factional, state, sectional, and national politics, issues, campaigns, and legislation; and legal and governmental theory and public speaking and writing mainly about constitutional interpretation. Papers also concern industrial development in the Shenandoah Valley; George Washington University in Washington, D.C.; expositions at St. Louis, Jamestown, Va., and San Francisco; the American Bar Association; public education in Virginia; and Washington and Lee University. There are no congressional papers of Henry St. George Tucker for the period, 1922-1932, and only a few letters relating to John Randolph Tucker's work as attorney general of Virginia, 1857-1865. Volumes include two account books, 1821-1845 and 1848-1862; a lettercopy book, 1859-1861 and 1864; and scrapbooks of notes and clippings. Also included are antebellum personal and political papers of the Powell family of Virginia and scattered papers relating to Henry St. George Tucker (1780-1848), jurist, and (Nathaniel) Beverley Tucker (1820-1890), Confederate agent.
