Abstract:

Papers of S. A. Dwinnell, a temperance organizer, Congregational minister, and local historian of Spring Prairie and Reedsburg, Wisconsin. Among them is a Revolutionary diary by Dwinnell's grandfather of the same name; his own diary for 1834-1836 while at the Millbury (Massachusetts) Academy and near South Bend, Indiana; eleven letters to his wife, Lydia Gove Dwinnell, from relatives and friends in New Hampshire; and the records of the Walworth County (Wis.) Temperance Society, 1839-1841. The bulk of the collection however consists of pioneer sketches written by Dwinnell in preparation for a history of Walworth County and for a comparative account of Wisconsin in 1836 and 1866.
