Mostly correspondence relating to Frank A. Haskell (b. 1828, d. 1864) and to his
The Battle of Gettysburg. A native of Vermont, Haskell graduated from Dartmouth
College in 1854, emigrated to Wisconsin, enlisted for service in the Civil War,
and became an aide to General John Gibbon. Shortly after participating in the
Battle of Gettysburg, he wrote his account of that conflict, which was published
after his death. He was killed in the Battle of Cold Harbor in 1864. Included
is a printer's copy of Haskell's manuscript, a photograph of F. A. Haskell, and
correspondence of Harvey M. and William A. Haskell.
