Papers, 1861-1892; (bulk 1864).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19903077

Family letters, largely from Low during his military service, July-October, 1864. Three miscellaneous items, 1861-1862, concern the Winthrop Guard of Jamaica Plain. Most of the collection concerns Low's war service in Washington vicinity as a carpenter and guard for Confederate prisoners; the service of his brother, James A. Low, of the 7th Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, at Fort McHenry and Fort Marshall, Baltimore, who offers advice on joining the army; and from other family members who describe the war as seen from the civilian perspective and relate the patriotic fervor during the reelection of Lincoln in 1864. There are also clippings and a pamphlet concerning the sixteenth reunion of the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery, 1892.
