Extractions: Sources for Military Records While the Society is not an official repository for original military personnel records, it does have many books and rolls of microfilm that include lists of soldiers' names, biographies of military men, and reports of military activities. In addition, the Society has indexes and guides to records kept by other institutions. The Newspaper Library has a card index to subjects and individuals' names which appeared in St. Louis newspapers dated 1808-1828. It can be helpful in locating items concerning early Indian wars and the War of 1812. The Liberty Tribune card index, covering newspapers dated 1843-1869, and the Columbia Missouri Statesman card index 1844-1885, are useful for Mexican War and Civil War research. Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Union (and Confederate) Soldiers Who Served in Organizations From Missouri are on microfilm. Both sets of service records have microfilm indexes accessed by surname. These records are duplicates of those in the National Archives, Washington, DC. The Society cannot offer copies of these records. The 1890 Missouri Census Index of Civil War Veterans or Their Widows , a printed index to the special census of 1890 microfilm, is also available. This index contains mostly Union veterans, but some Confederates are also listed. It covers veterans living in all Missouri counties except Daviess, DeKalb, Dodge, Gentry, and Van Buren.
Alabama's Civil War Fighting Units had already enlisted in the union army regiment/battalion, and the artillery units,and their The data was taken from The confederate military History, Volume 7 http://www.civilwarhome.com/alaunits.htm
Extractions: On January 11, 1861 Alabama became the fourth state to leave the Union, its secession convention calling for a meeting of delegates from all Southern states in Montgomery, the state capital, on February 4. At this meeting the new provisional government of the Confederate States of America was organized, with Montgomery selected as its temporary seat and Jefferson Davis elected president. The Confederacy went to war financed largely by a $500,000 loan from the state of Alabama. In one section of northern Alabama, where antie-slavery feeling was strong, there was a movement to form a pro-Union state. State Rep. Hugh Clay feared that an attempt would be made "to excite the people of North Alabama to rebellion vs. the state and we will have a civil war in our midst," but the movement failed. At the beginning of hostilities Alabama state troops forts at the entrance to Mobile Bay and the Union arsenal at Mount Vernon. There was no fighting in the state early in the war, but in `862 invading Federal forces held sizable areas. To resist the invasion, almost every white Alabamian old enough to carry a gun enlisted in the Confederate forces. Some 2,500 white men and 10,000 had already enlisted in the Union army.
Extractions: Participating in 1865 Mobile Campaign Approximately 55,000 soldiers marched through Baldwin County during the months of March and April of 1865. The number is considerable as one realizes that there were less than 8,000 inhabitants living in the county in the census of 1860. 10,000 Confederates were stationed throughout the Mobile area, some 2,500 defending the City of Mobile while the rest were found at Fort Blakely and Spanish Fort. The 15th and 16th Confederate Cavalry, and 6th and 8th Alabama Cavalry were off roaming around Baldwin County, scouting the area for the movement of the Union troops. 32,000 Union soldiers marched through the entire length of Baldwin County up the eastern shore while 14,000 Union troops came out of Pensacola, traveled due north, then turned back south in a surprise movement to invest Blakeley.

Units From Illinois During The Civil War at forts within union occupied confederate territory) and men in excess of the union srequested quota troops from Illinois joined 22 distinct military units. http://www.illinoiscivilwar.org/units_num.html
Extractions: Illinois Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery Units Illinois responded to President Lincoln's first call for troops with the 7th-12th Infantry (as well as Artillery and Cavalry). Regiments were numbered in order of formation, beginning with 7. In respect for 6 Regiments that served from Illinois in the Mexican War, 1 through 6 were not used. Regiments 7-12 were enrolled twice, once for 3 months, then for 3 years. Most of the rest were enrolled for three years, except for 67-71 (for 3 months in mid-1862, primarily for guard duty in Illinois), 132-143 and 145 (in 1863-1864 for 100 day guard duty at forts within Union occupied Confederate territory) and 144 and 146-156 (1 year duty). By August of 1861, Illinois had enrolled men in the 7th through 55th Infantry Regiments. Some men had difficulting getting into Illinois Regiments and joined Regiments from other states. By the end of August 1862, Regiment Numbers through 116 had been or were forming. Just one month later, the number was up to the 129th. By late November 1862, after the harvest season, Illinois had 125 Infantry Regiments, 16 Cavalry, and 30 Artillery batteries. The total was 20,000 men in excess of the Union's requested quota for the State of Illinois
Extractions: For more than 350 years millions of Americans have been involved in military service, both at home and abroad. Consequently, military records are one of the most fruitful resources for biographical and genealogical research. In order to facilitate your investigation, it is necessary to become familiar with the various types of military records in existence (such as muster rolls, bounty-land warrants, pensions, etc.) and the information they contain. It is equally important to understand what resources exist on the county, state, and federal levels, and where such documents can be found. The Library has a major collection of military unit histories, bibliographies, indexes, memoirs, and related publications. Only a portion of them can be included here. Please consult the three card catalogs for the details on our military history collection. For your convenience there is a Military History Reference Collection in the Library Reading Room.

Extractions: The Battle of Chickamauga September 19-20, 1863 It took considerable prodding from Washington and about six months before the Union Army of the Cumberland (58,000+ men - MG William S. Rosecrans commanding) was on the offensive again after its strategic victory at Stones River (Murfreesboro, 31 Dec. 1862 - 2 Jan. 1863). Moving southeast from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a deliberate Rosecrans skillfully outmaneuvered an indecisive GEN Braxton Bragg MG Ambrose E. Burnside , commanding) were on the march from Lexington, Kentucky to take Knoxville, TN - an area of strong pro-Union sentiment (occupied on 2-3 September). Again through deceptive maneuvers Rosecrans' columns out-flanked a confused Confederate army along the Tennessee River. A reluctant Bragg, fearing a Federal attempt to cut his lines of communication and supply to Atlanta, abandoned Chattanooga without a fight (7 Sep.) and retreated into northwest Georgia (toward Rome). Shaken by the loss of this key city the Confederate command in Richmond sent reinforcements from Mississippi and from Virginia ( LTG James Longstreet's MG George Thomas , commanding) made a forced march to bolster the Federal left flank. At dawn (19 September) advanced units of Thomas' corps clashed with dismounted Confederate cavalry (elements of

Extractions: Military records provide an important resource for genealogical research. For the most part, military records are federal records and are therefore more uniform and reliable than local records. One drawback regarding military records is inadequate or nonexistent indexes, however, many new guides and indexes are being developed. The United States has been involved in five Colonial wars, several international wars and Indian wars, one civil war, and two "conflicts". Wars have occurred almost as regularly as the census has been taken. The records from these wars provide genealogists with the means to learn much more about veteran ancestors. Two principal categories of military records are available, service records and records of veteran's benefits. Service records include muster rolls, rosters, correspondence, prisoner-of-war records, and hospital records. They often include a physical description, date and place of birth, and residence at the time of enlistment. The Guide to Genealogical Research in the National Archives describes a compiled military service record as follows "card abstracts from each individual soldier were placed into a jacket-envelope bearing the soldier's name, rank, and military unit. The jacket-envelope, containing one or more abstracts and, in some instances, including one or more original documents relating specifically to one soldier, is called a compiled military service record." Service records are not arranged by surname. You must know when and where in the armed forces an ancestor served and whether he was an officer or an enlisted man to search service records.

The Civil War: Black American Contributions To Union Intelligence newspapers, and intelligence reporting from subordinate military units. which endedwith the confederate surrender, was black man, arrived at union lines from http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/dispatches/dispatch.html
Extractions: P. K. Rose is in the Directorate of Operations. "Black Dispatches" was a common term used among Union military men for intelligence on Confederate forces provided by Negroes. This source of information represented the single most prolific and productive category of intelligence obtained and acted on by Union forces throughout the Civil War. In 1862, Frederick Douglass wrote: The true history of this war will show that the loyal army found no friends at the South so faithful, active, and daring in their efforts to sustain the government as the Negroes-. Negroes have repeatedly threaded their way through the lines of the rebels exposing themselves to bullets to convey important information to the loyal army of the Potomac. Black Dispatches resulted from frontline tactical debriefings of slaveseither runaways or those having just come under Union control. Black Americans also contributed, however, to tactical and strategic Union intelligence through behind-the-lines missions and agent-in-place operations. Two such Union agents functioned as long-term penetrations of Confederate President Jefferson Davis's "White House" staff in Richmond, Virginia. Even such a prominent woman as Harriet Tubman, best known for her activities involving the "underground railroad," played an important role in Union intelligence activities. The value of the information that could be obtained, both passively and actively, by black Americans behind Confederate lines was clearly understood by most Union generals early in the war. Popular recognition of this was also apparent through a stream of articles and stories in the Northern press during the war. Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, was equally aware, and in May 1863 he said, "The chief source of information to the enemy is through our Negroes."
