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

Excerpt from Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army During the War of the Revolution: April, 1775, to December, 1783 The Act of Congress approved July 27, 1892, provides That the military records of the American Revolution now pre served in the Treasury and Interior Departments be transferred to the War Department, to be preserved in the Record and Pension Office of that Department, and that they shall be properly indexed and arranged for use. The provisions of this Act are good as far as they go. The majority of the American people not only wish to know that there are in the various Departments of the Government places where these records are stored, but wish to know their contents the simple knowledge that they are being indexed in order to be able to state that a certain individual served in a certain company or regiment is not sufficient. Why can they not be arranged, published and distributed throughout the country on a similar plan to that pursued in the case of the records of the War of the Rebellion Or, if that is impracticable, why not have them copied just as they are and printed for distribution to the various libraries, historical societies, and State capitals of the country, in order that all interested, either for personal use or for historical purposes, may read, examine and learn lessons of patriotism from them at their leisure.
