541. WILLIAM HENRY REDMAN PAPERS
880 items, 1860-1900
Civil War letters of a Union soldier from Illinois. Included are
comments on blacks, such as a May 8, 1864,
letter telling of burning and sacking plantations in Louisiana and how many
slaves followed the Union troops. A November 5,
1865, letter expresses Redman's violent opposition to suffrage
for blacks.
