Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Minnie D. Craig collection consists mainly of her handwritten autobiography and two scrapbooks. The 99 page autobiography is incomplete and ends about 1946. The first scrapbook of newspaper clippings deals with Mrs. Craig’s political career in North Dakota, while the other deals with the Craig family, beginning with Virgil L. Craig, who managed the 4,000 acre farm at Spiritwood, North Dakota. The farm belonged to Edward O’Brien of Thomaston, Maine, from 1884 until it was sold in 1902. The collection also includes Mrs. Craig’s handwritten reminiscences of the Craig family and Mr. O’Brien. The correspondence file has very little material, and the few pamphlets concern chiefly Maine.
