Joseph P. Bradley was a private practice attorney in New Jersey, specializing in patent and railroad law. He was appointed to the United States Supreme Court in 1870 under President Grant. He is best known for his participation on the Electoral Commission that decided the 1876 presidential election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden, which ended Reconstruction. This small collection was acquired and assembled by professor Charles Fairman during the course of his career while he researched and wrote about Justice Bradley.
