http://findingaid.lib.byu.edu/viewItem/MSS%201877

This collection is primarily copies of original documents that Colonel William Alexander Graham used in researching habeas corpus proceedings concerning prisoners held by general courts-martial. It also includes some of his writings from his research. Most of the papers deal with the court case of John Andre, an officer of the British Army accused of working with Benedict Arnold who was arrested, tried, and hung in 1780. The collection also includes papers dealing with other courts-martial cases from different presidential administrations; copy of “Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States,” 1803 edition, by Friedrich von Steuben; and three photographs of Colonel William Alexander Graham. Materials are dated circa 1778-1921, with the pictures dated 1934.
