Roberts' Civil War Discharged Record, January 31, 1864 Description An account of the resource <p>The Civil War discharge records reveal a treasure of personal information about age, birthplace, appearance, and conduct of the soldier. Samuel L. Roberts was discharged twice, first in 1964 in Vicksburg, Mississippi to reenlist into the 15th Iowa Infantry Veteran Regiment, and then fully discharged in July 1865.</p> <p>Born in Ohio, but living in Indianola, Iowa in 1861, Roberts was only 18 when he enlisted. The 15th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment where he served was mustered in 1862, and was engaged in the Battle of Shiloh, and the Second Battle of Corinth, where the Confederate army captured Roberts and later exchanged him in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Despite the pledge upon parole "not to take arms again" he probably never quit the service and in 1864 participated in the Atlanta Campaign with the 15th Iowa.</p> <p>The document now belongs to Roberts' granddaughters Grace Emmett and Mary Ann Hessenflow.</p> <p>For interviews and oral histories of this and other items please visit the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/HistoryHarvest?feature=watch">History Harvest YouTube Channel</a>.</p> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Grace Emmett and Mary Ann Hessenflow, Nebraska City History Harvest, 2010 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1864-01-31 Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource United States Government Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource document Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource image Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant United States Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
