  Edward Marshall Brooks Memoir
Having settled in Chicago in 1844, the Brooks family were also imbued with a sense of how members of their family had risen to the occasion to fight for their country during the Revolution, and Asa Brooks, Edward's father, further instilled them with abolitionist sympathies.
Thus for Edward Brooks, the decision to volunteer for duty in the Union army during the Civil War was almost inevitable, and on August 6, 1862, he enlisted in an independent company of light artillery, the 3rd Chicago Board of Trade Battery.
Brooks' memories of the engagement, however, were of the heroic performance of the "colored" brigade led by Col. Edward Boughton, which prevented the total annihilation of Sturgis' force.

 Charles Wisner Barrell - The Real Sir Edward Dyer
Again, Brooks reproduces a letter written by Dyer to Leicester on May 28, 1586, after his Lordship had gone to the Netherlands as General in command of all English troops sent out to assist the United Provinces in their heroic struggle against Spanish tyranny.
Brooks attempts to use Dyer's letter to Leicester to demonstrate verbal parallel, between his candidate and the writer of the plays, the effort becomes painful.
Evidently through Leicester's backing, the Queen in 1570 bestowed upon Edward Dyer "the stewardship of the manor and woods of Woodstock, Oxford, and its members, for life, and the rangership and portership of the park." This was considered a choice plum of patronage and Dyer was much envied for his good fortune.
