Scope and content
Transcript of Christophel's court martial proceedings for his refusal to rake and sow grass seed at Camp Zachary Tayler, Ky. Christophel, a Mennonite conscientious objector, refused to do this work because it "was of a military nature." He was sentenced to ten years hard labor at Fort Leavenworth.
Also included in this small set of papers are a biographical sketch written by Russell Kraybill (1984) and a collection of memories of Christophel provided by his family, friends, and students.
