Adolph Ross was a volunteer in the Spanish Civil War, serving with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. He returned to New York severely wounded and went on to serve in the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II. In later life he devoted himself to compiling biographical information on U.S. volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Several versions of his annotated list were privately published and distributed by the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives in the 1980s and 1990s. The collection includes multiple annotated drafts of the list, Ross’s files on and correspondence with a number of individual veterans and their family and friends, and some documents and memorabilia belonging to Ross himself.
