Scope and Content Note

This bound volume contains the names of officers of the First through Thirteenth Regiments of New York State Volunteers.

In addition to the officer's name, the date of his commission and previous rank are usually, but not always, recorded. Occasionally, a remark noting whether an officer was killed in action, resigned, promoted, or wounded is included. Ranks recorded include not only colonel through second lieutenant, but also the regiment's surgeon, assistant surgeon, chaplain, adjutant, and quartermaster.
