John R. Siperly papers
Manuscripts
This collection covers a broad range of subjects in the antebellum, Civil War, and World War I periods of American history. The correspondence of John R. Siperly, a Wisconsin carpenter turned Civil War soldier, includes his letters and letters he received from friends and family in Walworth County, Wisconsin. Siperly's letters discuss military service, including the Atlanta campaign and March to the Sea; assisting fugitive slaves; work at the field hospital, (including a detailed description of treating Andersonville survivors); his take on the war; and political news. Letters from home include correspondence from his young nieces (including Harriet F. Bailey (1833-1921), later a California artist specializing in industrial design) and other young women who had organized a campaign of writing to soldiers. The topics discussed in these letters include local, state, and national news; schools and teachers; and Copperheads. Also present are letters of Arnold J. Miracle, private of the 13th Regiment of U.S. Engineers stationed in Belgium and France during World War I.
