PA Civil War Soldiers
Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866 Indexes Arranged alphabetically by surname of soldier at the Pennsylvania Archives.
These 3" x 5" cards were initially prepared to serve as an index to Samuel P. Bates' "History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-1865" (Harrisburg, 1869-1871). The Office of the Adjutant General later expanded the scope of the cards by transcribing onto them data found on the original Civil War Muster Rolls and Related Records, 1861-1866 {series #19.11}.
The information generally includes:
- Soldier name
- Military units
- Bates' citation (volume and page)
- Age at enrollment
- description (complexion, height, color of hair and eyes)
- Residence and birthplace
- Date and place where enrolled
- Date and place where mustered in
- Date of discharge.
The listing is not inclusive.
