Letters and essays of Owen Hugh O'Neill
Manuscripts
The majority of the letters are written by Owen Hugh O'Neill to his father and brother, Malachy O'Neill, who were still living in Kilross, Ireland. The letters discuss his trip to California including his stay at Fort Bridger, Wyo., and his arrival in Salt Lake City, Utah, with Johnston and the newly appointed Governor Alfred Cumming. O'Neill makes observations regarding the mounting confrontation between the U.S. Government and Army, Brigham Young, and the Mormon Church. In his other letters, some of which are to various friends, O'Neill discusses the Civil War and his life in California. In his letter dated 1863, Oct. 24, Malachy O'Neill discusses Ireland's view of the Civil War and the mass numbers of the Irish immigrating to the United States.
