Documents include an appointment as Quartermaster from Edwin Stanton, "Directions for Enlisting Volunteer Forces in Ohio (1861)," orders from Gen. Seth Williams (1863), a letter from the mayor of Toledo excusing Russell from reporting to duty in Annapolis (1864), a letter from Russell about his medical conditions (1864), and various other letters. In August 1861, Warren Russell of Toledo, Ohio (1812-1866) wrote to Ohio Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham seeking military service. He was then forty-nine years old and said his business experience suited him for the Paymaster's Department.

Bowling Green State University holds Russell's papers from 1863-1864, including forms and correspondence from his service as Assistant Quartermaster of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, 11th Army Corps.…
