Professional and personal papers of a civil engineer related to railroad building in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Montana. Letter books contain letters to superiors and subordinates on technical aspects such as locations of lines, costs, legal problems, supplies, personnel, engineering problems, public relations, and, very occasionally, political matters. Also present are other letters, notebooks, voucher records, ledgers, bills, bridge elevations, sketch maps, and grading contracts, 1857-1894. Dodge worked on construction for the Milwaukee and Mississippi, Milwaukee and St. Paul, St. Paul and Chicago, Northern Pacific, St. Paul and Pacific, St. Paul and Duluth, Montana Central, and Hastings and Dakota railroads, and the Minnesota Railway Construction Company. Prominent correspondents include Frederick Billings and Russell Sage. Also includes family correspondence relating to Dodge's "Genealogy of the Dodge family of Essex County, Massachusetts" published in 1894, and to other personal matters.
