Scope and Content Note
This series includes correspondence primarily between militia leaders and occasionally their subordinates. One can find a number of telegrams and letters addressed to Major General Josiah Porter in Albany, Roswell P. Flower (Governor of New York, 1892-1894) and Brigadier Generals Peter Doyle and James McLeer.
The content of these telegrams and letters centers on the mobilization of state militia troops at Buffalo, but many also contain descriptions of the chaos erupting in the city. In addition to correspondence, there is also an illustrated guide to the City of Buffalo.
