User's Guide

We have searched many documents, newspapers, and personal papers to find all the men who served in Company K. This poster from the Winona County Historical Society's Archives is probably the most accurate list of those who served. It was printed in 1864 to commemorate the service of Company K and the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment on the occasion of the regiment's discharge from active service April 29, 1864. The actual size of the document is 22 x 18 inches. The text of the document has been reproduced and appears below the poster. The memorial poster was published in January, 1864.
