Three diaries with daily entries document the period in which Hussey's regiment was stationed primarily in Tennessee, Mississippi, and at the siege of Vicksburg during the American Civil War. Typed transcription of the diaries is included with the collection. William also purchased a number of autograph letters and signatures of Revolutionary, Early National, and Civil War eras. Collection consists primarily of extensive correspondence with colleagues and relatives. Since Nordmeyer was active during difficult years for German-Americans, letters frequently touch on issues such as American attitudes towards Germans following World War I and the American absorption of scholars fleeing Nazi Germany.
Additional works represent other European countries as well as Toledo, Ohio ca.
