Collection Summary From the Collection:

Consists of a list of medical cadets in service during the War of the Rebellion, notes, photos, and some personal papers. In 1861, an Act of Congress established a corps of medical cadets as part of the U. S. Army. Although noncommissioned officers, medical cadets had duties similar to those of the "contract surgeons"; the corps disbanded with the end of the war.
