Papers of Jacob W. Roby (1824-1906), who was the captain of Company B of the 10th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. The bulk of the collection consists of administrative records of Company B, including muster rolls, a casualty list, a company register, discharge papers, quartermaster and sutler records, and officer's manuals. The collection also includes correspondence, primarily about personnel and administrative issues; the Adjutant General file for a desertion case, which includes two letters requesting clemency from President Lincoln; some Confederate documents, including a broadside concerning the murder of a soldier and an 1862 Arkansas newspaper; printed documents discussing pay and other issues sent to Roby by the State of Wisconsin; and a small amount of biographical material.
