The collection is comprised of 40 enlistment forms, July-August 1861, and a volume, 1861-1865, 1873, 1876-1879, documenting the enlistment, service, daily operations, and command of Ezzell's company and his postwar business activities. Enlistment forms provide biographical information and a physical description of each soldier; volume entries record soldiers' pay, furloughs, transfers, absences, desertions, casualties, and deaths. The volume also contains more than 50 orders, October 1864-January 1865, relating to the company's command while stationed at Fort Fisher, N.C., just prior to the fort's capture by Union forces, and ordnance reports for Fort Campbell, Fort Lee, Fort Davis, and Fort Meares. Postwar accounts are for groceries and dry goods. There are also medical receipts, a sharecropping agreement, and an undated speech by Ezzell to the voters of Duplin County.
