A collection of material chiefly relating to Edwin A. Bowen's Civil War service and the 52nd Regiment's veterans' association. Included are a Civil War journal kept from November 1861 to February 29, 1864; regimental military records, including general and special orders, communications, dispatches, reports, muster rolls, and ordnance records; drafts and the fair copy of Bowen's "Historical Memoranda of the 52nd Regiment Illinois Infantry Volunteers," (1870s); and accounts of the Battle of Shiloh that Bowen submitted at the request of Shiloh Battlefield Commission (1895). Also included are Bowen's account of his service in New Mexico (1848), an article about slavery (approximately 1861), and the original manuscript, typescript and publication of his Pike's Peak journal (1859).
