520 2 |a The Charles Ewing papers contain correspondence, pamphlets, reports, clippings, and legal papers. These relate primarily to Catholic Indian missions and agencies in the American West, notably in the territories and later states of Washington, Montana, Arizona, and New Mexico, and Ewing's work on their behalf. Most of the material was gathered by the donor, Rev. Peter Rahill, as part of his research for a CUA Ph.D. dissertation titled The Catholic Indian Mission And Grant's Peace Policy, 1870-1884. They were gathered from hither and yon and include a mixture of originals and copies of letters held elsewhere. The copies consist mostly of typewritten transcripts of correspondence on both regular and onion skin paper.

545 |a Charles Ewing was born in Lancaster, Ohio, on 3 March 1835, the fifth son of Thomas and Martha (Boyle) Ewing. Several members of his family gained prominence. His father was a United States senator and a cabinet member, serving as Secretary of the Treasury under William Henry Harrison and John Tyler in 1841 and the first Secretary of the Interior under Zachary Taylor in 1849-1850. His brothers Hugh and Thomas were a writer and congressman respectively and his sister Ellen married their foster brother, William Tecumseh Sherman. Whereas Thomas Sr. did not belong to any church until his last minute conversion to Catholicism in 1871, the children were raised in the Catholic faith of their mother.
