Abstract:
Correspondence and diaries of Ernest Schirm, an articulate carpenter from Milwaukee, Wisconsin which focus primarily on his concerns relating to World War I veterans affairs, the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Status of Forces Agreement, United States foreign policy, government spending, communism, civil rights, the Black revolution, and art. The collection includes a lively correspondence, 1941-1969, with his elected representatives and local press; at least one diary for each decade between 1919 and 1969, containing annotated clippings, photographs, circulars, correspondence, and mementos; art notebooks and papers from Schirm's classes at Marquette University; and genealogy notes.
