Crandall, Warren D. ( -1919).
Research Collection, 1863-1922 (bulk 1887-1909). 1 box
During the Civil War, Warren Crandall served in the Mississippi Marine Brigade as 1st
lieutenant on the ram Lioness. The Mississippi River Ram Fleet was formed by Charles Ellet in
March 1862 and was succeeded by the Mississippi Marine Brigade. The Marine Brigade was
recruited largely from other army organizations, under the authority of the War Department. The
men were mustered out of service in December 1864. Following the war, Crandall practiced law
in St. Louis and Brookfield, Missouri, and was editor of the Brookfield Gazette. He died June 30,
1919, in St. Louis.
Collection contains correspondence and reminiscences of veterans of the Mississippi River
Ram Fleet and the Mississippi Marine Brigade to Warren D. Crandall, and also material gathered
by Crandall for his book, History of the Ram Fleet and Mississippi Marine Brigade, published in
1907. The bulk of this correspondence contains responses from veterans of the Mississippi
Marine Brigade to invitations from Crandall to attend reunions of the brigade. Occasionally the
correspondence contains reminiscences or other accounts of war service. The collection also
contains biographical sketch forms filled out by veterans.
