Excerpt from Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army During the War of the Revolution: April, 1775, to December, 1783 This collection is, however, far from complete. All official records filed in the War Department when it was burned November 8, 1800, were then destroyed. Many other records or documents have been lost or destroyed through various causes and still others have become, through lack of care, so torn and mutilated as to be of little or no value for reference. Very few rolls or other records per taining to the troops of Georgia and the two Carolinas have been found, most of them having probably been captured or destroyed by the enemy during the al most continuous fighting in those States. A good many records are in possession of historical or other societies, libraries, and individuals and have not been sent to the War Department to be copied. For these reasons a. Complete list of the names of all the participants in that glorious struggle for our independence, either of officers, or of soldiers who shoul dered the musket, can never be compiled. There are in existence many records pertaining to the Militia during the War. These are fragmentary, and an examination of such of them as could be found shows that they consist principally of pay accounts for service for short periods of from two days to three months, but unfortunately the dates, or even the years in which the service was rendered, are rarely shown. The compiler was allowed access to all the records on file in the War Depart ment bearing on the Revolutionary War, and this enabled him not only to cor rect and more fully complete the data contained in the former volume, but to add the names of several thousand officers with a more or less complete record of their services.

This 1914 revised edition contains the records of 14,000 Officers, including 6,000 NEW names not recorded in the former edition, and of the 8,000 Officers mentioned in the old edition, a great many records have been revised, augmented and completed.

In preparing the first edition of the Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army, which was published in 1893, Mr. Heitman, the compiler, examined all the records then available in the several executive departments in Washington and supplemented that data with additional information from other sources, such as documents published by the Government as well as those printed by States and individuals. In July 1892, Congress provided for the transfer of revolutionary records residing in the Treasury and Interior Departments to be transferred to the War Department of preservation and indexing, and in 1913 new legislation directed the Secretary of War to collect or copy "the scattered military records of the Revolutionary War," including those of State troops, etc. Under those acts, many revolutionary records were transferred to the War Department, and other records and documents not in the possession of the Government were loaned to the Department to be copied and returned. As a result, the Government now possesses a fair collection of the Army records of the Revolutionary War. This work is now considered the standard reference of officers serving in the Revolutionary War. It consists of an alphabetical listing of the individual officers, their rank, dates of service, events (wounded, taken prisoner, exchanged, or killed), the command in which they served and the state in which the service was rendered
