Manuscripts
A collection of correspondence, documents, manuscripts, photographs, and ephemera related to the Woodbridge and Michaelis families of Vermont and Michigan. The collection covers three generations of men and women who served in the American military during the 19th century; it documents several military campaigns against indigenous peoples in Florida, Michigan, the Dakotas, Montana, and elsewhere. The papers also describe the Army's role in scientific exploration and discovery, technological development, involvement in American political affairs, and the expansion of the United States from the 1830s to the 1880s. Also addressed are the internal conflicts that existed within the Army's officer corps, including its class structure and the constant pursuit of advancement followed by officers; and the relationship between the Army and American society. Courtship letters as well as correspondence between wives and husbands reveal the evolving patterns of relationships between men and women. Other subjects in the collection include: engineering, health and medical care, and the lives of women and children whose husbands and fathers served in the American military.
