Descriptive lists, order books, and other miscellaneous records of Wisconsin Civil War regiments, the majority of which thought to have been collected by the Adjutant General during the 1880s as part of that office's effort to correct and complete the records of individual Civil War soldiers. Regiments represented are the 10th Light Artillery; the 1st, 3rd, and 4th cavalry regiments; and the 1st-3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th-13th, 18th, 21st, 24th-26th, and 30th-31st infantry regiments. The majority of the series consists of company descriptive books and regimental and company order books, all of which are preprinted volumes supplied by the government. The order book kept by Captain Edgar A. Meacham of Company F of the Wisconsin is of special interest, for it documents the period when the company was on detached service at the Crow Creek Indian Agency in the Dakota Territory. This volume concerns troop movements, promotions, safeguarding and rationing of provisions, requests for medicine and citric acid for scurvy, payment for Indians, and passes to allow Dakota (Sioux) and Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) Indians to enter the agency store. Also present are records of James G. Knight, quartermaster of the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry, and records of J.E. Murta, surgeon of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry.
