Between the years of 1952 and 1953 Peters worked for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in New York. A fan of theather, Peters also performed various backstage roles between the years of 1946-1954 at a variety of theaters, and even owned his own repertory company in Charleston, West Virginia. Peters entered the University of Virginia Law School in 1954 and was named to the editoral board of the Virginia Law Review in 1955, serving until his graduation in 1957.","After earning his law degree, Peters and his wife, Elizabeth Hubbell, returned to Charleston, West Virginia to practice law at his father's firm, Peters, Merricks, Leslie, and Mohler.

The magazine's prospectus said its purpose would be \"to look at Washington the way an anthropologist looks at a South Sea island, helping the reader understand our system of politics and government, where it breaks down, why it breaks down, and what can be done to make it work.\" The first issue was published in January 1969. Throughout its publication, the magazine featured numerous unknown authors who later became influential journalists, including Pulitizer Prize winners such as Taylor Branch and Jon Meacham, among others. Peters served as the editor of the magazine until his retirement in 2001, continuing to write a regular column unti 2014.

That same year, Peters enlisted with the U.S. Army where an injury in a training accident resulted in a long stay in Army hospitals beofre being discharged from the Army in 1946.","Using the G.I. Bill, Peters went to New York City to attend Columbia College, earning a BA in 1949. Peters continued his education at Columbia, entering their graduate program and earning his MA in 1951. Between the years of 1952 and 1953 Peters worked for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in New York. A fan of theather, Peters also performed various backstage roles between the years of 1946-1954 at a variety of theaters, and even owned his own repertory company in Charleston, West Virginia. Peters entered the University of Virginia Law School in 1954 and was named to the editoral board of the Virginia Law Review in 1955, serving until his graduation in 1957.","After earning his law degree, Peters and his wife, Elizabeth Hubbell, returned to Charleston, West Virginia to practice law at his father's firm, Peters, Merricks, Leslie, and Mohler. In 1959, he was named chief staff officer of the Judiciary Committee of the West Virginia House of Delegates before being elected to the House in 1960. In that same year, Peters also managed the primary and general election campaigns for presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. After serving in the 1961 session of the state legislature, he went to Washington, D.C. to assist in the formation of the Peace Corps. Returning in 1962 to serve in the legislative session, he was named the Peace Corps' Director of Evaluation.","In 1968, Peters resigned from his position with the Peace Corps and began planning the publication of a new magazine called  The Washington Monthly . The magazine's prospectus said its purpose would be \"to look at Washington the way an anthropologist looks at a South Sea island, helping the reader understand our system of politics and government, where it breaks down, why it breaks down, and what can be done to make it work.\" The first issue was published in January 1969.

Between the years of 1952 and 1953 Peters worked for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in New York. A fan of theather, Peters also performed various backstage roles between the years of 1946-1954 at a variety of theaters, and even owned his own repertory company in Charleston, West Virginia. Peters entered the University of Virginia Law School in 1954 and was named to the editoral board of the Virginia Law Review in 1955, serving until his graduation in 1957.","After earning his law degree, Peters and his wife, Elizabeth Hubbell, returned to Charleston, West Virginia to practice law at his father's firm, Peters, Merricks, Leslie, and Mohler. In 1959, he was named chief staff officer of the Judiciary Committee of the West Virginia House of Delegates before being elected to the House in 1960. In that same year, Peters also managed the primary and general election campaigns for presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. After serving in the 1961 session of the state legislature, he went to Washington, D.C. to assist in the formation of the Peace Corps. Returning in 1962 to serve in the legislative session, he was named the Peace Corps' Director of Evaluation.","In 1968, Peters resigned from his position with the Peace Corps and began planning the publication of a new magazine called  The Washington Monthly . The magazine's prospectus said its purpose would be \"to look at Washington the way an anthropologist looks at a South Sea island, helping the reader understand our system of politics and government, where it breaks down, why it breaks down, and what can be done to make it work.\" The first issue was published in January 1969. Throughout its publication, the magazine featured numerous unknown authors who later became influential journalists, including Pulitizer Prize winners such as Taylor Branch and Jon Meacham, among others. Peters served as the editor of the magazine until his retirement in 2001, continuing to write a regular column unti 2014. Peters authored five books and coediting five more.","Adapted from   West Virginia and Regional History Center Newsletter, Vol. 35, No. 1-2, 2020  and   WV Living, Spring 2021  https://wvliving.com/tilting-at-windmills-how-charlie-peters-helped-jfk-win-west-virginia/"],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eAll of the material in the SEP boxes (in Series 1) was separated from the corresponding regularly-numbered boxes (in Series 2 and 3).\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["General"],"odd_tesim":["All of the material in the SEP boxes (in Series 1) was separated from the corresponding regularly-numbered boxes (in Series 2 and 3)."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], Charles Peters, Editor and Author, Papers, A\u0026amp;M 4449, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], Charles Peters, Editor and Author, Papers, A\u0026M 4449, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eOne file from a 5.25 inch floppy disk (identifier: 4449_5_25fdisk_02) has been redacted because it contains a social security number for a living person.\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["One file from a 5.25 inch floppy disk (identifier: 4449_5_25fdisk_02) has been redacted because it contains a social security number for a living person."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eProfessional correspondence, writings, and other papers of Charles Peters, creator and publisher of \"The Washington Monthly,\" a political magazine and website that launched the careers of several Pulitzer Prize-winning and MacArthur Genius Grant-winning authors and editors.

Between the years of 1952 and 1953 Peters worked for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in New York. A fan of theather, Peters also performed various backstage roles between the years of 1946-1954 at a variety of theaters, and even owned his own repertory company in Charleston, West Virginia. Peters entered the University of Virginia Law School in 1954 and was named to the editoral board of the Virginia Law Review in 1955, serving until his graduation in 1957.","After earning his law degree, Peters and his wife, Elizabeth Hubbell, returned to Charleston, West Virginia to practice law at his father's firm, Peters, Merricks, Leslie, and Mohler.

The magazine's prospectus said its purpose would be \"to look at Washington the way an anthropologist looks at a South Sea island, helping the reader understand our system of politics and government, where it breaks down, why it breaks down, and what can be done to make it work.\" The first issue was published in January 1969. Throughout its publication, the magazine featured numerous unknown authors who later became influential journalists, including Pulitizer Prize winners such as Taylor Branch and Jon Meacham, among others. Peters served as the editor of the magazine until his retirement in 2001, continuing to write a regular column unti 2014.

That same year, Peters enlisted with the U.S. Army where an injury in a training accident resulted in a long stay in Army hospitals beofre being discharged from the Army in 1946.","Using the G.I. Bill, Peters went to New York City to attend Columbia College, earning a BA in 1949. Peters continued his education at Columbia, entering their graduate program and earning his MA in 1951. Between the years of 1952 and 1953 Peters worked for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in New York. A fan of theather, Peters also performed various backstage roles between the years of 1946-1954 at a variety of theaters, and even owned his own repertory company in Charleston, West Virginia. Peters entered the University of Virginia Law School in 1954 and was named to the editoral board of the Virginia Law Review in 1955, serving until his graduation in 1957.","After earning his law degree, Peters and his wife, Elizabeth Hubbell, returned to Charleston, West Virginia to practice law at his father's firm, Peters, Merricks, Leslie, and Mohler. In 1959, he was named chief staff officer of the Judiciary Committee of the West Virginia House of Delegates before being elected to the House in 1960. In that same year, Peters also managed the primary and general election campaigns for presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. After serving in the 1961 session of the state legislature, he went to Washington, D.C. to assist in the formation of the Peace Corps. Returning in 1962 to serve in the legislative session, he was named the Peace Corps' Director of Evaluation.","In 1968, Peters resigned from his position with the Peace Corps and began planning the publication of a new magazine called  The Washington Monthly . The magazine's prospectus said its purpose would be \"to look at Washington the way an anthropologist looks at a South Sea island, helping the reader understand our system of politics and government, where it breaks down, why it breaks down, and what can be done to make it work.\" The first issue was published in January 1969.

Between the years of 1952 and 1953 Peters worked for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in New York. A fan of theather, Peters also performed various backstage roles between the years of 1946-1954 at a variety of theaters, and even owned his own repertory company in Charleston, West Virginia. Peters entered the University of Virginia Law School in 1954 and was named to the editoral board of the Virginia Law Review in 1955, serving until his graduation in 1957.","After earning his law degree, Peters and his wife, Elizabeth Hubbell, returned to Charleston, West Virginia to practice law at his father's firm, Peters, Merricks, Leslie, and Mohler. In 1959, he was named chief staff officer of the Judiciary Committee of the West Virginia House of Delegates before being elected to the House in 1960. In that same year, Peters also managed the primary and general election campaigns for presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. After serving in the 1961 session of the state legislature, he went to Washington, D.C. to assist in the formation of the Peace Corps. Returning in 1962 to serve in the legislative session, he was named the Peace Corps' Director of Evaluation.","In 1968, Peters resigned from his position with the Peace Corps and began planning the publication of a new magazine called  The Washington Monthly . The magazine's prospectus said its purpose would be \"to look at Washington the way an anthropologist looks at a South Sea island, helping the reader understand our system of politics and government, where it breaks down, why it breaks down, and what can be done to make it work.\" The first issue was published in January 1969. Throughout its publication, the magazine featured numerous unknown authors who later became influential journalists, including Pulitizer Prize winners such as Taylor Branch and Jon Meacham, among others. Peters served as the editor of the magazine until his retirement in 2001, continuing to write a regular column unti 2014. Peters authored five books and coediting five more.","Adapted from   West Virginia and Regional History Center Newsletter, Vol. 35, No. 1-2, 2020  and   WV Living, Spring 2021  https://wvliving.com/tilting-at-windmills-how-charlie-peters-helped-jfk-win-west-virginia/"],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eAll of the material in the SEP boxes (in Series 1) was separated from the corresponding regularly-numbered boxes (in Series 2 and 3).\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["General"],"odd_tesim":["All of the material in the SEP boxes (in Series 1) was separated from the corresponding regularly-numbered boxes (in Series 2 and 3)."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], Charles Peters, Editor and Author, Papers, A\u0026amp;M 4449, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], Charles Peters, Editor and Author, Papers, A\u0026M 4449, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eOne file from a 5.25 inch floppy disk (identifier: 4449_5_25fdisk_02) has been redacted because it contains a social security number for a living person.\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["One file from a 5.25 inch floppy disk (identifier: 4449_5_25fdisk_02) has been redacted because it contains a social security number for a living person."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eProfessional correspondence, writings, and other papers of Charles Peters, creator and publisher of \"The Washington Monthly,\" a political magazine and website that launched the careers of several Pulitzer Prize-winning and MacArthur Genius Grant-winning authors and editors.

Between the years of 1952 and 1953 Peters worked for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in New York. A fan of theather, Peters also performed various backstage roles between the years of 1946-1954 at a variety of theaters, and even owned his own repertory company in Charleston, West Virginia. Peters entered the University of Virginia Law School in 1954 and was named to the editoral board of the Virginia Law Review in 1955, serving until his graduation in 1957.","After earning his law degree, Peters and his wife, Elizabeth Hubbell, returned to Charleston, West Virginia to practice law at his father's firm, Peters, Merricks, Leslie, and Mohler.

The magazine's prospectus said its purpose would be \"to look at Washington the way an anthropologist looks at a South Sea island, helping the reader understand our system of politics and government, where it breaks down, why it breaks down, and what can be done to make it work.\" The first issue was published in January 1969. Throughout its publication, the magazine featured numerous unknown authors who later became influential journalists, including Pulitizer Prize winners such as Taylor Branch and Jon Meacham, among others. Peters served as the editor of the magazine until his retirement in 2001, continuing to write a regular column unti 2014.

The Somerville family traces its origins in America to James Somerville (1742-?) who settled in Culpepper County, Virginia after emigrating from Glasgow, Scotland. James Somerville was an influential merchant and became the mayor of Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1787. Members of the Somerville family, as the collection reveals, were also linked to historical figures prominent in the confederate army, including Fletcher Harris Archer. Atwell Somerville (1921-2014), whose life is detailed by a significant portion of the collection, was a member of the 90th Bombardment Group, the \"Jolly Rogers\", of the United States Air Force in World War II from 1942 to 1945. After obtaining a law degree from the University of Virginia after the war, he worked in the law firm of Nottingham and Somerville and participated in various civic and historical organizations in Orange County, Virginia. Atwell Somerville played a significant role in corresponding with family members, particularly Mary Lee Somerville of Culpeper, and genealogists, obtaining many family papers featured in this collection.","The Somerville family papers (1821-2013) consists of correspondence, photographs, printed materials, and extensive genealogical files. The papers and research detailing the history of the Somerville family, mainly in America, range from its colonial background to contemporary times. The extensive genealogical research is comprised of notes and charts, along with correspondence, photographs, military records, personal notes, clippings, and printed materials. The collection also includes records detailing financial history of family assets, including wills, estates, and records of the sale of enslaved laborers and land. Scattered throughout the collection are photographs, negatives, and daguerreotypes of many Somerville family members, as well as some sheet music, and artifacts. Part of the collection also details the backgrounds of other families genealogically related to the Somervilles, such as the Stringfellow and Nottingham families. ","The collection contains a Civil War memoir of Fletcher Harris Archer, Lieutenant Colonel in the Confederate Army and Mayor of Petersburg, Va. Also present are notes and documents about Archer's service during the Mexican-American War, possibly for a memoir that was never completed.  The collection also includes letters of Atwell W. Somerville while a student and cadet at Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina. Other topics include, Atwell Somerville's studies, athletic events, and church services and work. Of note is a letter of 1940 November 12 in which Somerville mentions he has had a recurrence of malaria.  Of interest are letters of Atwell W. Somerville during his service in World War II as a member of the 90th bomber squadron (a.k.a. \"The Jolly Rogers\") in the South Pacific.  There is also a ledger (1830s) from a store at Racoon Ford, near the Culpeper and Orange counties border.","References:","Somerville, James.

After obtaining a law degree from the University of Virginia after the war, he worked in the law firm of Nottingham and Somerville and participated in various civic and historical organizations in Orange County, Virginia. Atwell Somerville played a significant role in corresponding with family members, particularly Mary Lee Somerville of Culpeper, and genealogists, obtaining many family papers featured in this collection."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMSS 16201 Somerville family papers, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["MSS 16201 Somerville family papers, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Somerville family papers (1821-2013) consists of correspondence, photographs, printed materials, and extensive genealogical files.
