Biographical / Historical
Samuel Latham Mitchill Barlow was a prominent corporation lawyer and backstage Democrat.
Co-founder of the law firm of Bowdoin, Larocque, and Barlow in 1852, he specialized in
corporate law and management, particularly in railroads, mining, land, and utilities, and
was a part owner of the New York World. Barlow represented the English Shareholders
Association in a successful attack on the corrupt management of the Erie Railroad in 1872
and was directly responsible for the ouster of Jay Gould from the board of directors of that
company. A lifelong Democrat despite his increasing disaffection after 1870, Barlow played a
pivotal role in the nomination and presidential campaign of James Buchanan, served as
advisor to Buchanan's administration, worked unsuccessfully to restore the party unity at
the Charleston Convention of 1860, and engineered the 1864 presidential candidacy of General
George McClellan, a close friend. A notable collector of early Americana and early printed
editions of European Renaissance literature, Barlow also played an active role in the social
and cultural life of New York. He entertained lavishly at his Madison Avenue home and his
Long Island estate, and was co-founder of the Manhattan Club and patron of museums and
historical societies.
Scope and Contents
The collection contains letters, letterbooks, documents, records, and manuscripts that
document Barlow's legal, business, and political career, and his cultural and social
pursuits. Barlow's legal and business papers constitute the bulk of the collection and cover
1860 to 1889. This portion of the collection deals with financing, building and management
of railroads -- both Eastern and Western divisions of the Ohio and Mississippi, the Atlantic
& Great Western, the Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio, the Little Miami, the Columbus
and Xenia, the Erie, and the New York, Erie & Western; Barlow's lobbying on behalf of
Texas and Pacific Railroad Company and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company; his involvement
in the affairs of the Tehuantepec railroad route in Mexico, mining promotions and
operations, including the notorious Arizona diamond hoax; land speculation (farm lands in
Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio and urban properties in St. Louis, Mo.); his patronage of the New
York subway and telephone enterprises, and his part ownership of the New York World.
Political and military correspondence and manuscripts cover Barlow's involvement in
Democratic politics at both national and state levels, that started in 1856 and continued
until his death. The papers deal with Barlow's role in the nomination of James Buchanan for
President, 1856, and his administration; Democratic National Convention at Charleston, 1860;
George McClellan's presidential bid, the National Union Club, congressional elections,
Tilden, Hancock, and Cleveland campaigns, 1876 to 1886. This portion of the collection also
contains reports from the Eastern theater of the Civil War that Barlow received from his
agents in the field. Among the correspondents are William T. Sherman, and T.J. Barnett, a
minor official at the Department of the Interior and the Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce, who provided an insight into Lincoln's White House. Also included
are items reflecting Barlow's role in social and cultural life of New York -- his friendship
with William Cullen Bryant and Bret Harte, patronage of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
New York Academy of Music, and the New York Historical Society, his collections of colonial
Americana and rare books, etc. Correspondents include William Henry Aspinwall, Henry Douglas
Bacon, T.J. Barnett, James Asheton Bayard, Jr., August Belmont, Judah Philip Benjamin,
Montgomery Blair, William Montague Browne, Benjamin Franklin Butler, Roscoe Conkling, George
Ticknor Curtis, John Henry Dillon, William Maxwell Evarts, Henry Harrisse, Ben Holladay,
Hugh Judge Jewett, Clarence King, George Brinton McClellan, James McHenry, Manton Malon
Marble, Thomas Alexander Scott, Horatio Seymour, William Davis.

letters signed to Samuel L.M. Barlow, 1867 May 2 and May 22 (BW Box 63); Grover Cleveland
autograph letter signed to Samuel L.M. Barlow, 1884 October 12 (BW Box 164); Millard
