Barnstable County Massachusetts Civil War Soldiers, Enrolled Men and Drafted Men, 1861-1863
This book by military historian, Stauffer Miller, provides a list of all of the men of draftable age on Cape Cod who were enumerated in the 1861 -1863 development of the draft list for the Union Army in the Civil War. Alphabetically listed by each of the 15 towns, the book gives information on each man’s name, residence, age, and in some cases, his physical characteristics.

This compilation of genealogical and historical resources on Cape Cod and the Islands is intended to benefit all who are researching their family history in this area.
