The William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan is pleased to announce the creation of a new web resource on Norton Strange Townshend (1815-1895), the abolitionist, Congressman, and pioneering agricultural educator.

Among the highlights are Townshend's antislavery lecture notes and essays, items relating to Ohio Agricultural College and Ohio A&M, letters from Townshend's friend and mentor Salmon P. Chase, and daguerreotypes produced by Townshend's brother-in-law, Thomas M. Easterly. The exhibit also provides historical context and biographical information on the Townshend Family.
