| Notes: | Much of the material concerns Berkeley's research for his book about the Irish Brigade in the Papal Army in 1860. There are drafts of newspaper advertisements seeking information, as well as letters from former members of the Brigade or letters giving him information about such men. He appears to have employed a J.D. Hackett of 66 Jamaica Avenue, Flushing, New York, to make contact with, and interview, on his behalf, some of those former Brigade members who had emigrated to the United States. He also used other intermediaries, who supplied him with information gathered from conversations with veterans, or else gave him names of individuals who might be of assistance. There are two letters from Berkeley to Molly Childers (items MS 50,073/129 and MS 50,073/130). Physical description: 11 folders (165 items). more |
