Summary:
In 1863, the State Legislature mandated that the Bureau of Military Statistics collect and preserve an "authentic sketch of every person from this State who has volunteered into the service of the general government" since April 15, 1861. The six volumes that comprise this series were compiled in partial fullment of that directive. The volumes contain both military and civil information on New York men mustered into federal military or naval service during the Civil War.
