Documents include requests for supplies, details of military pay, requests for leaves of absence, and details about military justice proceedings, including courts-martial appeals and decisions. While the bulk of the documents in this collection allow for a deep investigation into the daily lives of soldiers, officers, and, to a lesser extent, civilians, there are many other documents of interest. These include surveys and maps of potential and existing military bases and discussions of how to protect civilians in the areas around the bases. Also included are brief stories, such as accusations of Indians kidnapping children from settlements, and the relations between civilian and military authorities.
