Mexican War, 1846-1848

The Military Collection is an artificial collection composed of short published works, transcripts, and a few original materials primarily discussing the US Civil War. Other conflicts represented in the collection are the US Revolutionary War, the Mexican American War, and World War II.

This collection contains a variety of primary and secondary source materials compiled by historians Mark Shields and Geoffrey P. Mawn, including biographical manuscripts, research notes, articles, correspondence, genealogies, and records of military service. Of particular interest is a journal from the Phoenix Ditch Company chronicling financial dealings from 1870 to 1883.
