Book Description

"In obedience to your resolution without date, viz: Resolved, That the Quarter Master General be requested to report to the Senate, as soon as practicable, what arms are in his possession belonging to the state--what kind of arms, and what order said arms are in--and what divisions have received arms--and what have not received any--and if the arms and ordnance in his possession are in perfect order--and what disposition he proposes to make of the same--and any other information on the subject in his possession. I have the honor to state, in reply to the foregoing inquiries, the subjoined tables, marked (A and B.), will show what public arms are in my possession--and what divisions have received arms at different times, up to 1826."--Page 3.
