Isaac Cusac Civil War Papers

The image is a historical document from the Office of Superintending (Supt) Volunteer Recruiting Service in Columbus, Ohio, dated October 2nd, 1862. It is a special order, No. 163, directing Captain Isaac Cusac of the 21st Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I.) to proceed without delay to Findlay, Ohio. His mission is to settle unspecified business at that location, and after completing this duty, he is instructed to report in person to the office from which the order was issued. The document is signed by A. C. H. Brooks of the 2nd Artillery U.S.A., Superintendent of the Volunteer Recruiting Service for Ohio, and by Captain Dana M. Munson of the 15th Infantry, acting as an assistant. The content and signatures are elegantly handwritten on a faded piece of paper, reflecting its age and historical significance.
