Civil War Bluejackets 

In Phase 1 of Civil War Bluejackets, we asked Citizen Scientists to transcribe different elements of the Civil War musters, a process which has both provided valuable information and allowed us to train our computer to "read" the 19th century handwriting. Now in Phase 2, we are asking you to check the computer's transcriptions, let us know if you think they are correct, and if not to let us know what you think the correct transcription should be.
