Denver correspondence, 1848-1893.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37905849

Letters received by Gen. James Denver and his wife, Louisa, from her cousins, August and Albert Kautz. These letters describe life at West Point and the Naval Academy, military life, and the Civil War; several ask Gen. Denver for assistance in securing positions or transfers. Two letters from August Kautz, written while commanding the Dept. of Arizona in 1877, remark on conditions and comment on Indian affairs. These were the only letters in this collection from that period. Also present is one letter from Denver to President Buchanan recommending Joseph Vaughn as district judge if Arizona became a territory in 1859.
