Robert Munson Taylor (1913-?) went to Spain in early 1937 to fight with the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War. He fought in several major battles and suffered some serious injuries. This collection contains mostly wartime correspondence to E. Grace Taylor (whose precise relationship to Robert Taylor is unclear), as well as to several other friends and relatives. There is a small quantity of later correspondence related to his service in Spain, and to surveillance by the Detroit Police Red Squad. Some Spanish Civil War memorabilia and military records are also included in the collection.
