These papers consist of correspondence with colleagues and friends; personal prose
and poetry; Civil War correspondence and history with papers and clippings re Burt Green Wilder's career and service as a medical cadet at the Judiciary Square
Hospital in Washington, D.C. in 1862, and as assistant surgeon (First Lieutenant),
1863, and then surgeon of the Massachusetts 55th Black Volunteer Regiment until 1865.
After the Civil War and for the rest of his life, BGW actively corresponded with veterans
of the war, both Yankee and Confederate. There are letters and clippings re pension requests, commission papers, discharge and parole papers, treatment of prisoners
from both the North and South; a history of black soldiers; federal government segregation;
clippings and letters re battles such as River's Causeway, Fort Wagner, the siege of Charleston, Grimball's
Causeway, Fort Sumter, Honey Hill, Pocotaligo and Folly Island. (While he was stationed
at Folly Island in 1863, BGW discovered a large spider later named the NEPHILA WILDERI,
from which at a later time he reeled off 150 yards of yellow silk.) An account of
"The 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, Colored", written by BGW and given as
a address before the Brookline, Massachusetts Historical Society on May 28, 1914;
and letters and clippings re the death and burial of Col. Robert Gould Shaw of the Massachusetts 54th Volunteers
with his fallen black troops at the battle of Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863, and clippings
re the Shaw Monument in the Boston Common by Augustus St. Gaudens are also included.
Other Civil War reminiscences include BGW's Civil War diary, 1863-1865; letters and
newspaper clippings re Lt. George T. Garrison (eldest son of William Lloyd Garrison), General Sam Jones,
Robertson James (brother of Henry James), Lt. Col. Charles B. Fox, Capt. Charles C.
Soule, Capt. Wheelock Pratt, Francis H. Brown, M.D., James F.A. Allen, M.D., Rev.
James H. Fowler, Luis F. Emilio, Col. Robert Gould Shaw, Col. Norwood Penrose Hallowell
(Commander of the 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment), Col. John L. Clem (the youngest
soldier to serve with the Union Army), Gen. William T. Sherman, Jefferson Davis, and
many others.
These papers also contain correspondence with Prof. Louis Agassiz (the naturalist),
Asa Gray, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., and Jeffries Wyman, with whom BGW worked at
Harvard University as an assistant after receiving his M.D. degree there in 1866.
There are letters, papers, clippings and various medical pamphlets from BGW's years
as a professor of anatomy, physiology, comparative neurology and vertebrate zoology
at Cornell from 1867-1910, where he devoted special attention to human and animal
brain mechanism experiments, and the nervous system. At the time of his retirement
he had gathered between 1,600 and 2,000 brain specimens with completed data. (Currently,
70 of these specimens survive.) The collection also contains "Brain Bequest" forms,
and letters dealing with the reneged brain bequest of Goldwin Smith; papers relating
to BGW's laboratory studies of cats (possibly as many as 400 cats per year were used
for these studies) and other "wild" animals such as opossums (including many others.)
At the end of twenty-five years of teaching, Professor Wilder was presented with
"The Wilder Quarter Century Book" (a festschrift). This was a collection of original
papers dedicated to him by former students in 1893.
Also, female and male spider (NEPHILA WILDERI) specimens and 2 mile silk strand.
Right ulna bone fragments of Daniel P. Havey of the 19th Mass. Infantry Regiment,
1862 (with shot).

Scope and Contents
This list replaces an earlier typed list that neither included names of officers whose
photos are lacking, nor identified African-American officers, nor provided page numbers.
A note on the earlier list says: "Orig. List sent to National Archives, 1961." Names
are listed in the order in which they appear in the album, followed by the page number;
lacking photos are noted. This list indicates African-American officers, including
those whose photos are lacking. To confirm which officers (including those lacking
photos) were African- American, the following website was consulted: http://suvcw.org/mollus/usctofficers.htm ( U.S. Commissioned Officers of African-American Descent who served during the Civil
War). [SUVCW stands for Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War; MOLLUS for Military
Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States; and USCT for United States Colored
Troops]. Where photo is lacking, or where given information is possibly uncertain,
the designation [African-American] indicates confirmation via this website. Please
note that the website list may be incomplete, so not all officers lacking photos in
the album are fully identified. Individual companies of the 55th are indicated for
each person, when known, and/or the person's rank/membership in other army divisions,
when known; This list does not record the complete military history accompanying each
photo. Photos of some of the persons in the album appear elsewhere (loose) in the
collection, as indicated in the guide; some of these additional photos are duplicates,
while others are post-war; Wilder wrote captions on many of them. Letters to Wilder
from some of these officers, and/or references to these officers, appear elsewhere
in the collection. All photos in the album are 4.0" x 2.5" cabinet cards; photographer/
studio is given when available.
