[This is not the original descriptive book. See Thomas Walter's description of the loss of the regimental records in November 1862. On 18 August 1863, the adjutant asked company commanders to give him a list of all commissioned officers in their company, with all changes since the company was organized, to enable him to produce a new regimental descriptive book (circular, HQ 91st PA, 18 August 1863).]
