Abstract:

Papers of Isaac Stewart, an educator of Waukesha County and Appleton, Wisconsin, and of his sister Mary, both of whom were at times editorial writers for the Milwaukee Journal. The correspondence includes family letters, letters describing life at the University of Wisconsin about 1860, some Civil War correspondence and diaries; letters from May Wright Sewall before her marriage; and letters received by Miss Stewart from journalists and publishers. There are a few articles mostly reminiscent of early life in the region of Pewaukee, Wisconsin; Miss Stewart's records of her visits to expositions; and a volume of records of Christ Church, Pompey, New York, 1828-1842, containing minutes of meetings and a register of births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths. The diaries describe Isaac Stewart's work as an army recruiter in Chicago, Ill. in 1862 and discuss his camp duties and efforts to be assigned to the front while at Camp Randall (Madison, Wis.), 1864.
