Description:

Approximately 45 items, many multiple pages.

Interesting little archive relating to General James H. Wilson and his extended family, political activities, family history, and more. James Harrison Wilson (September 2, 1837 - February 23, 1925) was a United States Army topographic engineer and a Union Army Major General in the American Civil War. He served as an aide to Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan during the Maryland Campaign before joining Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's army in the Western Theater, where he was promoted to brigadier general in 1864. After he left the Army, Wilson worked as a railroad construction engineer and executive. He moved to Wilmington, Delaware, in 1883. For the next 15 years he devoted his time to business, travel, and public affairs, and wrote on a number of subjects. Wilson returned to the Army in 1898 for the Spanish-American War, and served as a major general of volunteers in Cuba and Puerto Rico.
