Contents: |
The collection consists of papers of Nathaniel Wyche and Sarah R. Golding Hunter from 1820-1869. The earliest correspondence
(1840-1843) is to Sarah R. Golding from family and friends, mainly discussing Athens social life and their experiences at
school. The majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence (1843-1846) between Hunter and his fiancee and later
wife Sarah R. Golding while he served in the 2nd Cavalry (Dragoons) of the U.S. Army, particularly during the Mexican War.
His early letters discuss mostly their budding romance, but later letters describe camp conditions, travel to Mexico, the
Mexican countryside, and engagements of his unit. Includes letters from the Augusta Arsenal (Ga.), Fort Columbus (N.Y.), Fort
Jessup, Corpus Christi (Tex.), and Camargo (Mexico) with details on the Battle of Palo Alto and Reseca de la Palma (May 1846).
The collection contains some official military correspondence such as orders, memos and correspondence documenting the actions
of John E. Wool, Zachary Taylor, Irvin McDowell, William Joseph Hardee, and John S. Wood.
The papers also include diaries kept by Hunter from October 1-15, 1846 discussing his trip to Mexico and another from February
21 - March 12, 1848 describing his command of American troops near Monterrey (Mexico); and a diary kept by Sarah G. Hunter
from 1848-1849 mainly describing Athens (Ga.) social life and the death of her husband.
