They contain cards on which information from original records relating to the military service of the individual has been copied. Included in the main jacket are carded medical records, other documents which give personal information, and the description of the record from which the information was obtained.
From the first day of enlistments
until the last man was mustered out of federal service, the roster of the
1st North Dakota Volunteers changed
constantly. New men joined the regiment, others resigned, transferred to
different units, or were discharged. And some died. According to official
sources the regiment mustered in 685 men May 13-16, 1898 at Fargo. When they
were mustered out in San Francisco September 25, 1899, the Army's Adjutant
General's report indicated that 719 men had served with the regiment, of which
the following 702 have been identified.
Note: Soldiers were "Discharged by orders" for such reasons as being under age,
lacking ability, being a chronic disciplinary problem, for transfer to another
unit, for hardship at home. Soldiers were "Discharged for disability" when they
were too ill or incapacitated to continue in service.
