Questions About a Muster Roll

[YoreLocal]

I'm writing an article about Jacob Ammen's brigade in the Battle of Shiloh, but I just got this from NARA, and I'm curious about it. Does anyone know what it's about? Also, I know he was wounded at the Battle of Shiloh, but there is nothing in the rolls I got from NARA that mentions that. Where might I find more information on that? Copl?

From fold3, Mr. Lewis' pension cards show he had enlisted in Co. D, 24th Ohio on June 13, 1861, and served with that outfit for three years.

From the data you posted, on Jan. 19, 1864, he reenlisted for another three years. However, his regiment did not reenlist en masse, and was mostly discharged from service in mid-1864. He was not alone, as it was noted his company mostly reenlisted for the war...

And he was finally discharged Oct. 9, 1865 from Co. D, 18th Ohio:

The page entitled "returns" shows specific details from Lewis's records. He was absent cutting saw dogs for a period and, he went on furlough. The last one has him posted to guard duty but with an asterisk which at the bottom says he cancelled that.
