BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE
Dr. D. Warren Brickell (1824-1881) of New Orleans was a nationally known gynecologist, founder and dean of the New Orleans School of Medicine, and editor of numerous medical journals. His interest in public affairs is reflected in his newspaper articles on political reform, published during Reconstruction.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
Papers consist principally of newspaper clippings of articles by Brickell and miscellaneous political broadsides. Topics include the activities of the New Orleans Citizens' Association; the Unification Movement; participation of the White League in their opposition to the Reconstruction government in Louisiana; the disputed state elections of 1872 and 1876; the Louisiana Lottery Company; the 1879 state constitution; and subsequent tax issues. Also present are letters of condolence regarding the death of Brickell's brother, James N. Brickell, a New Orleans attorney; and a reprint of a memorial obituary dedicated to D. Warren Brickell published in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal (1882).
