Papers of Louis W. Bridgman, a Madison, Wisconsin, journalist, mainly consisting of correspondence. Many letters pertain to Bridgman's career as a reporter for the Wisconsin State Journal, 1906-1913, and for the Associated Press, 1913-1930, and as editor for the University of Wisconsin Extension Division. The remainder of the exchanges derive from his interest in civic and historical affairs. Included is correspondence relating to the Saturday Lunch Club of Madison, 1914-1918, Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin, 1940-1960, and Antigo, Wisconsin. Correspondence with Albert H. Griffith and Boyd B. Stutler deals with Bridgman's interest in Abraham Lincoln and John Brown; Amos N. Wilder correspondence concerns the family of novelist Thornton Wilder; and John Earl Baker correspondence deals with Baker's various services for the Chinese government, 1916-1940s, when he served as famine relief director, Inspector-General of the Burma Road, and in other capacities.
