Chilton, William. Letter to Pheroba Ann Chilton Hale
Manuscripts
The voluminous correspondence, notebooks, affidavits, eyewitness testimonies, and published pamphlets of the family of Jonathan D. Hale contain a wealth of previously unknown information about the Civil War in Tennessee and Kentucky, including the organization of Unionist communities; womens contributions to the war effort; guerrilla warfare; the fate of Unionists' slaves; Reconstruction in East Tennessee and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan; and complicated and bitter politics of veterans' affairs in the wake of the Civil War. The letters, orders, reports, and communications written during Hale's services with General George H. Thomas (1816-1870) is a unique resource for historians of Civil War civilian scouts and guides, a topic that remains largely unexplored.

William Henry Harrison, Vincennes, Indiana Territory, letter to Caesar A. Rodney, Wilmington :
Manuscripts
Harrison discusses subpoenas issued to Judge Davis (presumably Judge Thomas T. Davis), John Berry and Captain Prince (presumably William Prince); he mentions that those issued to Davis and Berry have been returned to him with the note "came to hand too late." These references are most likely to persons from Indiana Territory involved in local activities related to the conspiracy accusations and treason trial of Aaron Burr, which was taking place in Richmond, Virginia.
