Commission from the Governor of Minnesota in Saint Paul on 27 July 1864 for the
purpose of recruiting men to assemble a Company for the 11th Regiment Minnesota
Volunteers to fulfill the volunteer obligations of the 1st Congressional District

assemble the company by 3 September 1864. Captain Webb had previously served as Captain of Company F, 9th Regiment
Illinois Infantry, was wounded at Shiloh and resigned that commission in July
1862 due to illness, as well as serving as Adjutant-General to four companies
of soldiers under General Sibley sent to quell the Sioux Uprising of 1862.

20 September 1864, Company D was forced to camp exposed for two weeks without
any tents and according to 1st Sergeant Harvey Webb, Heavy rains prevailed.
[the company] was much exposed.. They
finally drew tents from stores on 8 October 1864 and subsequently attached to
guard Louisville & Nashville railroad at Sandersville. The remainder of their tour of duty was

battles and was mustered out at Gallatin, Tennessee 26 June 1865 and discharged
