In 1864, the Governor of Kentucky issued a call for volunteers to form the first Kentucky regiment in hopes of aiding the United States in its war with Mexico. This publication provides rosters of the officers and soldiers who volunteered, giving names, ranks, date and place of recruitment, and when they were discharged. Each muster roll is accompanied by a page of remarks giving additional information on the soldiers, such as which company they transferred from, or appointment of ranks. This work includes an appendix providing muster rolls of a Detachment of Recruits, and soldiers taken prisoner in Mexico.
