Services Performed by the Invalid Corps – 10th Regiment

These posts are part of a larger series highlighting the contributions and accomplishments of the Invalid Corps/Veteran Reserve Corps during the Civil War. This post only captures some of the activities of individual regiments. Clearly, this is an area ripe for additional research.

10th Regiment

Organized at New York City October 10, 1863, by consolidation of the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th, 57th, 228th, 229th, 232nd and 233rd Companies, 1st Battalion. Mustered out by detachments July 1 to November 28, 1865.

Duties in Washington, similar to those of the Ninth Regiment. The list of posts and routes on which this regiment has done guard duty covers nearly seven foolscap pages. One hundred and sixty-five details were furnished to escort soldiers or rebel prisoners; but it is impossible to state the number so forwarded; some squads were 500 or 600 strong.
