    Gerry:--

    Have you done any research before asking this question?

    I just Googled "98th Pennsylvania" and got 800 results. There should be something there that you could use.

      Gerry,

      One good place to start is the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Some, if not all, of the 98th's regimental books are there -- Record Group 94: Records of the Adjutant General's Office, entries 112, 113, 114, 115. When complete, they include a regimental order book, company order books, a regimental descriptive book, company descriptive books, consolidated morning reports by company, a regimental letters sent book, and miscellaneous books. You might find some quartermaster info for the regiment in this collection.

        Gerry,

        If you are in Pennsylvania or nearby, you can also check the Archives of the Commonwealth of PA in Harrisburg. They too have information on the 98th -- Record Group 19. Go on line and look at the indices.

        Good luck!
