Papers and photographs, 1904-1976.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/57225669

Papers and photographs of Carleton L. Brosius, a physical trainer for the Army during World War I and a participant in the 1920 Olympic games. The bulk of the collection deals with Brosius's dedication to physical fitness. General orders, letters of commendation from Army personnel, and a scrapbook document his work as an Army trainer. Correspondence, a scrapbook of ephemera, and photographs document his participation in the Olympics. Additional biographical information about Brosius is found in two other scrapbooks that contain photographs, newspaper clippings, ephemera, and letters. There is no documentation of Brosius's service in the Spanish-American War nor the Mexican Border War and only general orders convey a sense of Brosius's stateside movements during World War I. This collection also includes the music for "March of the Maccabees," which Brosius wrote in 1904; military certificates of promotion; a certificate commemorating Brosius's twenty-fifth anniversary as a member of the American Legion; and a thank-you card from General Charles King.
