Papers, 1841-1944.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122509867

Correspondence, diaries, official papers, printed material, clippings, and other papers relating to Gould's service with the 1st Maine Infantry Regiment and its successors, the 10th and 29th Maine regiments, during the Civil War. Gould served as the regiments' official historian and was extensively involved in post-war reunions and veterans' claims. Subjects include Civil War campaigns and wartime and Reconstruction conditions in South Carolina, and the career of zoologist Edward Sylvester Morse. Also includes the diaries of Amelia Jenkins Twitchell Gould, 1860-1865, who taught a freedmen's school in Beaufort, S.C., and Samuel McClellan Gould, a Presbyterian minister, 1841-1845, 1890-1895. Additions to the collection include photocopies of letters, 1906-1926, from veterans of Gould's Civil War regiment, mostly giving news about the deaths of former members. A photocopy of an autobiographical and genealogical narrative by Gould and reproductions of two photographs have also been added.
