Andrew Bradford wrote about his experiences in the Civil War and published his work in the Lake County Star during the 1890s. Unfortunately, copies of this newspaper do not exist today. He also wrote articles about the Battle of Nashville which were published in the National Tribune during April, 1896. Copies of these articles may be obtained on microfilm from the Library of Congress.
He faithfully attended many reunions of the 2nd Cavalry and even hosted one such event in Baldwin, Michigan.
