Report of the adjutant general of the state of Indiana (Volume VII) 1861- 1865

When a state goes to war, the record survives long after the cannon smoke. Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Indiana, Volume VII (1861-1865) gathers that record with uncompromising clarity. Names, dates, lives, and sacrifice. Compiled under Adjutant General William H. H. Terrell, this government military report volume stands among the most practical civil war official records for Indiana during the Civil War. It brings together civil war muster rolls and civil war service records collection material for the 1861-1865 Indiana regiments, including Indiana volunteer infantry rosters and the kind of detail that lets a reader follow a unit from enlistment through campaigns, discharges, and loss. For historians it offers an anchored, state-level view of mobilisation and administration; for families it is a genealogy research reference book, rich in identifiers that can unlock a surname, a hometown, a company letter. The stark presence of union soldier casualty lists reminds you that these are not abstractions but neighbours and sons. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As a state military annual report and complete regimental roster collection, it is prized by civil war history collectors for its authority, its scope, and its quiet power as a primary-source memorial to Indiana's war. For anyone building a library of Civil War documentation, it belongs beside diaries, atlases, and battlefield maps at home.
