Scope and Content Note
This series consists almost entirely of duplicate correspondence and special orders dating between May and August 1861.
In addition, there are a few items dating from 1862 and one document dating from 1866. These are mainly copies of bills, vouchers and ordnance inventories. The correspondence in this series deals almost exclusively with the organization and supply of volunteer units raised by the state in response to President Lincoln's call for men in 1861. To a lesser extent, the documents also deal with state militia units.
