II. The Indiana Civil War Volunteers resource |
|
“The State Archives maintains an alphabetical list of all the soldiers who served in Indiana |
|
volunteer regiments (infantry and cavalry) and artillery batteries. The list, a card file, was prepared |
|
by the W.P.A. in the late 1930’s, employing the original muster rolls of the Indiana volunteer units |
|
found in the Indiana State Archives… The card file has been microfilmed.” [Notes 1, 4] |
|
