Collection
Identifier: MS-0748
Collection Organization
This collection consists primarily of the quartermaster records of the 2nd Brigade, First Division of the 11th Army Corps during 1863 and 1864 of the Civil War. The material comes from the personal records of Warren Russell, Assistant Quartermaster to the Brigade.
The papers represent records typical of a Civil War army Quartermaster, dealing specifically with the logistical functions of keeping the 2nd Brigade, First Division, 11th Army Corps supplied.
The variety of forms demonstrate the official documents and level of paperwork involved in the behind the scenes aspects of the war effort, including accounting for civilian labor, forage, equipment and stores, clothing, and payroll.
The specific orders in this collection are orders delegated to Russell with a specific action in mind. These orders focus on the movement of men and material, providing horses, transporting equipment and baggage, and also in assignments of Russell to particular locations.
The stores and supplies included in this collection are extremely useful to the identification of the clothing, ordnance, and other stores necessary to the sustenance of the army. Specifically, a record can be found of clothing, ordnance, ammunition, and horses available to the units in the brigade.
