Winslow Fuller Sanderson papers

In letters to his wife and children, Sanderson writes about his family, financial affairs, his military career, critical remarks of the officers, and progress of the Mexican war. After the war, his letters tell about his commands and duties at Fort Laramie, Fort Leavenworth, on the Western Plains, at a military court in Tampa, Florida, and the Rio Grande. There is a clipping telling about the old and new Fort Laramie, the expense of maintaining forts, and the death of Indians from cholera.
