Summary:
This series consists of bound special orders issued by the Adjutant General and commanding officers of specific military units (usually divisions).

The orders in this series also reflect the activities of State Militia, volunteer and National Guard units during the Civil War, Spanish-American War, the Mexican Border Campaign, World War I, World War II, and various catastrophes and disturbances.
