R Browder, Isham.
115 Papers,
1855-1862.
One folder, photocopies.
This collection includes two letters to
Isham Browder of Dallas, Texas, from his brother, Edward Browder, a
Confederate soldier, from Flat Creek, Missouri, 1861, and Boggy Depot, Choctaw
Nation, Indian Territory, 1862. There
are also receipts from merchants in Dallas, 1855 and 1858.
His great-granddaughter, Edna Butcher of
Leadwood, Missouri, donated the photocopies of Isham Browders papers. The collection includes two statements of
account for Isham Browder with general merchants in Dallas (1855, 1858) and two
letters from his brother, Edward Browder (6 November 1861, 8 April 1862). Edward Browder wrote from camps at Flat
River, near Cassville, Missouri, and Boggy Depot, Choctaw Nation, Indian
Territory. He was serving in an unnamed
Texas regiment, probably the 6th Texas Cavalry, commanded by Col. B. Warren
Stone. Edward Browder speculated on the
Union advance on Springfield, Missouri, the probabilities of a Confederate
withdrawal, the hostility of the people of southwestern Missouri, and the lack
of forage and supplies in Indian Territory.
