A small group of military and family correspondence and military reports and orders of General Samuel Sturgis, Civil War commander and Indian fighter, including letters from General George A. Custer, John Hay, and William H. Seward. One letter by Sturgis, June 12, 1870, recalls a conversation with Abraham Lincoln.

References are also made to John and Mary Sturgis, prominent Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, residents.
