Guiding Questions

 

What is the history of the unit in which William Schroeder and Bailey T. Baldwin served during the Civil War?  What was its roster?  Where did it serve?  What was its casualty rate?  What insights on the wartime and postwar experiences of William and Bailey can we glean by looking at the history of their company?

 

Evidence & Interpretations

     On this page we limit ourselves to detailing the roster of Company D and examining its casualty rates and related data.  All this information is taken from the wonderful old book plucked from R.G.'s smelly old trunk, Minnesota in the Civil and Indian Wars, 1861-1865 (St. Paul: Pioneer Press Co., 1890), pp. 288-290.

     Here are thumbnails of the three pages we'll be examining:       .
