The National Archives also maintains a textual record, entitled "Regular Army Enlistment Papers, 1798–1894" ([http://www.archives.gov/research/arc/ Record Group 94, entry 91]). This series is arranged alphabetically by name of soldier and generally shows the soldier's name, place of enlistment, date, by whom enlisted, age, place of birth, occupation, personal description, regimental assignment, and certifications of the examining surgeon and recruiting officer. Soldiers usually have multiple enlistment papers if they served two or more enlistments. | The National Archives also maintains a textual record, entitled "Regular Army Enlistment Papers, 1798–1894" ([http://www.archives.gov/research/arc/ Record Group 94, entry 91]).
