91st Pennsylvania Infantry, company A, deserters list

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

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

[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).]

[The dates don't match the dates in Bates, History of Pennsylvania Volunteers. According to Bates, James Fritzinger deserted on 31 Oct 61, John Solomon on 2 Apr 62, and Richard Quinlan on 3 Apr 62; Bates does not have dates for the other two desertions.]
