http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122499783

Lindberg's correspondence and daybooks that he kept in 1872-1880. The daybooks contain his rather florid reflections and maxims on history, literature, science, and theology, his poetry, and scattered recollections of his life. They also record the minutia of the life in a veteran's home, his family, and attempts to secure a military pension and find a job. The letters to Lindberg from his friend, Charles A. Lane of Mount Union, Ohio, a local music teacher deal with poetry and other literary interests and discuss the affairs of Mount Union College and Youngstown college. Also included are letters from other friends and family of Lindberg's, and his letters to various addresses, chiefly applications for various jobs, free railway passes, etc.
