John Stillman Brown family papers collection [microform], 1818-1907.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49359615

This collection of correspondence and miscellaneous papers is arranged chronologically. The early papers are concerned with family matters and schools. In 1841 the main letters are from non-family members. Charles A. Dana, a friend of Hannah's, wrote about the Brook Farm community. During the Civil War, the letters are about active duty in the service and at the home front. Letters talk about camp life, military life and the ability and service of Native Americans (Indians) as Civil War soldiers. Finally there are letters from the Brown children and their mother giving details on social activities, religious life, politics, and the women's suffrage movement.
