Scope and Content:

The James H. Marshall Papers, 1859-1897, include correspondence, military orders and records, a journal, autograph books, and a photograph album. The majority of materials in the collection date from 1861 to 1865. Correspondence consists of 26 letters and covers written by Marshall while serving in the Union Army to his uncle, Daniel R. Marshall (1821-1893) of Nashua, NH. All of his letters have been typed and copied. The collection also contains a journal of essays written in 1859, in which Marshall recorded his life, recreational activities, and options. There are also two autograph books in the collection. The 1873-1880 autograph book was given to Marshall as a token of appreciation from the Webster, MA mill workers. The photograph album is dated 1862 to 1865 and is a collection of cartes de visite albumen prints depicting members of the 8th Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers, including some officers. There are 40 prints inserted into 20 pages. A few of the cards have penciled names on the back. An index of some of the names appears at the beginning of the first box. Those subjects without their names written on the reverse were compared to the Register of New Hampshire Soldiers and Sailors, War of the Rebellion and A History of the Eighth Regiment of the New Hampshire Volunteers in order to identify the sitter.
