This collection includes Caine's autobiography, and many of the papers and correspondence concentrate on that subject. The collection contains the handwritten narrative of Caine's life, as well as a typed transcription. The collection also includes correspondence with other eminent Utahan's including LDS Church President, Heber J. Grant, as well as letters both to and from family members. A portion of the collection is specific to the life of Caine's wife, Kinnie, and includes a remnant of her diary from January 1877, the year before their marriage.
