Papers and photographs of Carleton L. Brosius, a physical trainer for the Army during World War I and a participant in the 1920 Olympic games. The bulk of the collection deals with Brosius's dedication to physical fitness. General orders, letters of commendation from Army personnel, and a scrapbook document his work as an Army trainer, while correspondence and a scrapbook full of ephemera and photographs document his participation in the Olympics. Two other scrapbooks provide additional biographical information about Brosius; they include photographs, newspaper clippings, ephemera, and letters. There is no documentation of Brosius's service in the Spanish-American War nor the Mexican Border War, and only general orders convey a sense of Brosius's stateside movements during World War I. This collection also includes the music for “March of the Maccabees,” which Brosius wrote in 1904; military certificates of promotion; a certificate commemorating Brosius's twenty-fifth anniversary as a member of the American Legion; and a thank you card from General Charles King.
