[This is a transcription of the List of Commissioned Officers for company F of the 91st Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry (1861-1865)]

[A list of everything included in the 91st Pennsylvania's descriptive books, with links to transcriptions, is available here.]

[source: Descriptive book, company F, 91st Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, National Archives and Records Administration, Record Group 94 (Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1780's-1917)]

[transcribed by Harry A. Ide]

[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).]

[A card pocket saying that only the descriptive lists have been carded is at the bottom of the page; the card apparently inserted in the pocket claims that 139 names were carded, "card 1st and entries checked in red of 2d"]

[The left part of this name--roughly through the officers' first names--is extremely light]
