Manuscripts
The voluminous correspondence, notebooks, affidavits, eyewitness testimonies, and published pamphlets of the family of Jonathan D. Hale contain a wealth of previously unknown information about the Civil War in Tennessee and Kentucky, including the organization of Unionist communities; womens contributions to the war effort; guerrilla warfare; the fate of Unionists' slaves; Reconstruction in East Tennessee and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan; and complicated and bitter politics of veterans' affairs in the wake of the Civil War. The letters, orders, reports, and communications written during Hale's services with General George H. Thomas (1816-1870) is a unique resource for historians of Civil War civilian scouts and guides, a topic that remains largely unexplored.
