Papers, 1861-1915, relating to Bradley's service in the Civil War. Bradley served in the 5th New York State Volunteers, 1861-1862, reaching the rank of captain, and served as chaplain to the 10th New York Cavalry Regiment from 1864. Most of the papers are official documents of the 5th Regiment; they include minutes of officers' meetings, testimony from various soldiers to Bradley's conduct at the battle of Gaines' Mill, Colonel Hiram Duryée's report on the battle, muster rolls, returns of supplies, records of courts martial while Bradley was Judge Advocate, and other miscellaneous papers. The collection also contains Bradley's commissions, and correspondence about his pension claims and the dismissal of a charge of absence without leave in 1862. A personal letter from E. Woodward, dated 1889, contains a brief autobiography, spiritual reflections, and a holy medal.
