Abstract
Two autobiographies written by Francis Harrison Pierpont (1814-1899) of Monongalia and Marion Counties, West Virginia, who
served as governor of the Restored Government of Virginia during the Civil War. This booklet includes photocopies of two original
autobiographies, which were written in 1883 for Robert Alonzo (or P.W.) Brock (21 pages and accompanying letter) and John
McAllister Schofield (5 pages). The booklet also includes typescript transcriptions of both autobiographies, made by Jeannie
Kyle. Also included are copies of a web page, book pages, a news clipping, a typescript copy of an address delivered by Captain
James Chambers Pryor regarding Memorial Day and Pierpont (1932), and other material related to F. H. Pierpont. Christa Pierpont
compiled the first draft of the booklet in 2015. The booklet is also available at the Library of Virginia.
