Tipton Family Papers 1862-1868.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56125580

Collection consists principally of the letters William Tipton sent to his wife and sister during his service as an engineer in the United States Navy aboard the ships Circassian and Sacramento during the Civil War. The Sacramento was charged with searching for Confederate privateers, with her chief target being the Alabama. Tipton writes mostly of personal matters, but also makes some brief comments about the places the ship stops in port, and his life in the Navy. The collection also includes letters from other family members and 12 cartes de visite.
