This small collection represents, chiefly, the manuscript for an autobiography written by Emil Seidel in 1938. The biography is in two volumes, organized in three parts, with the second volume dealing with his career as a socialist reformer in Milwaukee. Volume 2, Part III of the Autobiography is also available on microfilm.
The papers also contain fragmentary correspondence, a few clippings in which reference is made to Seidel and Wisconsin socialists, a short speech, random notes, and some genealogical information concerning Emil Seidel's family.
