NOTE.

----------

In preparation of this volume access has been had to the official rolls, returns, reports of hospitals and rebel military prisons, and to other such documents as could be reached. Every effort has been made to secure accuracy in names, dates and facts, and especially to show what became of the men. It will be seen, however, that among the 50,000 soldiers, whose names are herewith published, many are unaccounted for. This arises simply from the fact that the information necessary to complete their military history is not in the possession of this office and could not be obtained.

Officers and soldiers who may be able to furnish reliable data to supply the omissions referred to, are respectfully requested to communicate the same to the undersigned with as little delay as as possible.

W.H.H. TERRELL,
Adjutant General Indiana

ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Indianapolis, July 1866.
