Family papers of Edwin Kimberley, known as “Wisconsin's singing soldier” because of his Civil War service as leader of the regimental band for the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry and of a brigade band in Sherman's Army. Letters to his parents, Henry and Elizabeth Kimberley, Brodhead, Wis., from relatives in Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire, England, mainly 1850-1875, give family news, prices of farm products, and English views of the Civil War, with some inquiries about possibilities of immigration. Civil War letters, 1861-1865, from sons William, Co. C, 3rd Wisconsin Infantry, and Edwin concern their activities. Also present is a photostat copy of published sheet music to Hamilton's Badger Boys, written by Kimberley and E. E. Bryant for the 3rd Infantry after the Battle of Bull Run. English
