Abstract:
The records of the Dane County Council, an organization made up of individual American Legion posts within the Department of Wisconsin and dedicated to veteran's causes, community service, and promoting patriotism. The collection consists of records from the organization itself, as well as from the member posts. The former includes correspondence reflecting activities and concerns of the council. Other materials highlight community service projects including performances by Legionnaire and magician Ben Bergor. Post materials consist of scrapbooks containing correspondence, newspaper clippings, programs, and bulletins from many of the DDC member posts. These papers reflect the posts' involvement in the DDC and, to an extent, their individual activities.
