This is one of 128 volumes published by the U.S. Secretary of War.
By an act approved June 23,1874, Congress made an appropriation " to enable the Secretary of
War
to begin the publication of the Official Records of the
War
of the Rebellion,
both of the Union and Confederate Armies," and directed him " to have copied for the Public Printer all reports, letters, telegrams, and general orders not heretofore copied or
printed, and properly arranged in chronological order."
Appropriations for continuing such preparation were made from time to time, and the act approved June 16,1880, has provided "for the printing and binding, under direction of
the Secretary of
War,
of 10,000 copies of a compilation of the Official Records (Union and Confederate) of the
War
of the
Rebellion,
so far as the same may be ready for
publication, during the fiscal year"; and that "of said number, 7,000 copies shall be for the use of the House of Representatives, 2,000 copies for the use of the Senate, and
1,000 copies for the use of the Executive Departments."
This compilation will be the first general publication of the military records of the
war,
and will embrace all official documents that can be obtained by the compiler, and that
appear to be of any historical value.
The publication will present the records in the following order of arrangement :
The 1st Series will embrace the formal reports, both Union and Confederate, of the first seizures of
United States
property in the Southern
States, and of all military operations in the field, with the correspondence, orders, and returns relating specially thereto, and, as
p
roposed, is to be accompanied by an Atlas.
In this series the reports will be arranged according to the campaigns and several theaters of operations (in the
chronological order of the events), and the Union reports of any event will, as a rule, be immediately followed by the Confederate accounts. The correspondence, &c., not
embraced in the " reports" proper will follow (first
Union
and next Confederate) in chronological order.
The 2d Series will contain the correspondence, orders, reports, and returns, Union and Confederate, relating to prisoners of
war,
and (so
far as the military authorities were concerned) to State or political prisoners.
The 3d Series will contain the correspondence, orders, reports, and returns of the Union authorities (embracing their correspondence
with the Confederate officials) not relating specially to the subjects of the
ßrst
and
second
series. It will set forth the annual and
special reports of the Secretary of
War,
of the General-in-Chief, and of the chiefs of the several staff corps and departments ; the calls
for troops, and tlio correspondence between, the National and the several State authorities.
The 4th Series will exhibit the correspondence, orders, reports, and returns of the Confederate authorities, similar to that indicated
for the Union officials, as of the
third
series, but excluding the correspondence between the Union and Confederate authorities given in
that series.
