Papers of Brigadier General Bragg of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry in the Civil War, a hero of the “Iron Brigade.” His letters are mainly to his wife in Fond du Lac, Wis., written from camp and battlefield, and later a few from the House of Representatives in Washington and from Havana, Cuba, where he was consul general. There is a little material from Hong Kong, China, where he was stationed as consul general for four years, and some political letters from William F. Vilas and others. Letter books, 1888-1889, kept by Bragg while minister to Mexico, contain copies of his official letters to the Department of State, to the Mexican government, and to private citizens in both countries, and some copies of letters received at the legation. Included in the collection are some Civil War reminiscences, an address explaining the purposes of the Union Veteran Legion, a muster roll of Co. E of the 6th Infantry, and biographical material.
