You might try state/territory volunteer unit records (usually held by state archives) in addition to records of the regular Army. A great uncle, from Nebraska, enlisted Fort D.A. Russell in southeast corner of WY, 400 miles from home, in 1890.Check out local units in surrounding states, too. This was at a time period of the Indian Wars, and some areas raised local, non-US Army units to participate.
