Review:
This collection contains drafts and texts of speeches and essays written and delivered by Alden Chester at various events, often on national patriotic holidays. They reflect his interest in the history of the United States and his Republican political leanings, as well as his support for the temperance movement. His essay on "The Legal Status of Women," shows him to be in line with conservative views of the time that the rightful place of women was in the home. Another interesting item is his oration on the health merits of happiness and laughter, "Laugh and Grow Fat."
