PREFACE.
In the preparation of the following work the editor has consulted Gard-
ner's "Dictionary of the Army," Cullum's "Biographical Register of the
Graduates of the Military Academy," Powell's " Records of Living Officers
U. S. Army," Hamersly's "Register of the Army 1779 to 1879," Heitman's
" Historical Register of the U. S. Army," and the Official Registers issued by
the War Department.
No pains have been spared to render this work thoroughly correct in its
details, and any errors or omissions that may be discovered are occasioned only
by lack of opportunity to obtain proper information.
A list of the Volunteer Officers in the service of the Government, June,
1900, has been added to the work, which will be found to add importance to
its general character.

LIST
OF THE
OFFICERS OF THE ARMY
1779-178O.
NOTE. The method by which Officers were first promoted in the American Army being
irregular, particularly in cases where officers were prisoners, several alterations were after-
wards made, and commissions antedated, even to the vacancies they were to fill up, in
order to do justice to the injured, which has occasioned some apparent inconsistencies.
The following lists were made from a variety of documents, viz: Resolves of Congress,
Returns and Registeries of Commissions in the War Office.

PREFACE.
In the preparation of the following work the editor has consulted Gard-
ner's "Dictionary of the Army," Cullum's "Biographical Register of the
Graduates of the Military Academy," Powell's " Records of Living Officers
U. S. Army," Hamersly's "Register of the Army 1779 to 1879," Heitman's
" Historical Register of the U. S. Army," and the Official Registers issued by
the War Department.
No pains have been spared to render this work thoroughly correct in its
details, and any errors or omissions that may be discovered are occasioned only
by lack of opportunity to obtain proper information.
A list of the Volunteer Officers in the service of the Government, June,
1900, has been added to the work, which will be found to add importance to
its general character.

LIST
OF THE
OFFICERS OF THE ARMY
1779-178O.
NOTE. The method by which Officers were first promoted in the American Army being
irregular, particularly in cases where officers were prisoners, several alterations were after-
wards made, and commissions antedated, even to the vacancies they were to fill up, in
order to do justice to the injured, which has occasioned some apparent inconsistencies.
The following lists were made from a variety of documents, viz: Resolves of Congress,
Returns and Registeries of Commissions in the War Office.
