Thomas Bragg Papers, . 1861-1862

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/b/Bragg,Thomas.html

Thomas Bragg was governor of North Carolina, 1855-1859; a United States senator from North Carolina, 1859-1861; and Attorney General of the Confederate States of America, 1861-1863. The collection contains Bragg's diary during three periods: 3 January-1 March 1861, in Washington, D.C., as a United States senator during the secession crisis; 5 November 1861-9 April 1862, in Richmond, Va., as Confederate attorney general; and 11 April-7 November 1862, as a private citizen living at Petersburg, Va. The diary records congressional sessions and conversations with other politicians; Confederate cabinet meetings, but not Bragg's activities as attorney general; and reactions to war news.
