Richard Z.
Johnson (1837-1913) Papers, 1881-1883 MSS 100n Richard Z. Johnson was one of the leading attorneys in early Idaho. A native of Ohio, he received legal training at Yale and then moved west, first to Minnesota, then Nevada, and finally, in the 1860s, to Idaho. He practiced law in Boise and Silver City and served as trustee of the Boise school district for many years. He was a member of the territorial council and was twice appointed attorney general of Idaho Territory. This file contains six letters to Johnson and one written by him, all pertaining to Boise school matters. Two of the six letters to Johnson were written by C. W. Moore; three others were written by J. W. Daniels, principal in the Boise schools. Among the topics Daniels discussed were his differences with teacher Julia Capwell. These letters, like the rest of the Moore-Cunningham-Bettis collection, came from the Moore-Cunningham mansion. A much larger collection of Richard Z. Johnson papers is located at the Idaho State Historical Society.
