- The article presents information on descriptive lists which were used for documentation purposes during the U.S. Civil War to record the physical details of war volunteers. The list consisted of the recruit's name, age, height, complexion, color of eyes and hair, birth place, and occupation, as well as when, where, by whom and for what period he enlisted. The list also included a 'remarks' column which documented a man's character, and his achievements and failures .
