General John Henry Hammond founder of Superior, Wisconsin

I attempted beginning to build a page for Brevet Brigadier General John Henry Hammond in 2022. My page was nominated and approved for speedy deletion as soon as I had started, so I was never able to present or finish my final work. At the time Wikipedia seemed confused as there are other generals with the same name. But this General John Henry Hammond worked under General Sherman and was the founder of Superior, Wisconsin. I now have several digitised newspaper articles from the Superior Telegram that offer great details into Brevet Brigadier General John Henry Hammond, including a headshot and extensive biographical information. None of it is found online because the local historical society still has not digitised the local papers in Superior. I would like to try again to see if he could be recognised by Wikipedia without my having to resort to paying a Wikipedia editor to create a page. Wikipedia says it is free, and I would like for General Hammond to be recognised for his accomplishments. Can you please advise me how best to begin? Singer2cantor (talk) 16:02, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
