Civil War Soldiers Record
Original American Civil War–era military document titled:
“Volunteer Descriptive List and Account of Pay and Clothing”
It was used to record a soldier’s:
physical description,
enlistment details,
pay,
clothing/equipment issued,
and transfer or hospital information.
From the handwriting visible, the soldier appears to have served in a New York Volunteer Infantry regiment (the top line looks like “5th Vol. Regt. New York…” though the exact regiment is faint). The document is dated around the Civil War period and references a hospital transfer/pay accounting.
Notable Features
Large-format printed military form
Period iron-gall handwriting
Original signatures
Civil War Quartermaster/pay record style
Good historical content despite folds and fading
Condition
Heavy fold lines
Moderate toning and fading
Some creasing and small separations at folds
Still displayable and historically collectible
