Diary of 5th Sergeant Alexander G. Downing: Saturday, July 15, 1865

Our regiment, the Eleventh Iowa Veteran Volunteers, was mustered out this morning at 9 o'clock. We were relieved from all duty and turned over to the general quartermaster the regimental teams and everything that does not belong to the individual officers or men. The papers for the rest of the brigade have not yet been made out.
