This compilation will be the first general publication of the military
records of the war, and will embrace all official documents that can be
obtained by the compiler, and that appear to be of any historical
value.
The publication will present the records in the following order of
arrangement:
The 1st Series will embrace the formal reports, both Union and Con-
federate, of the first seizures of United States property in the South-
ern States, and of all military operations in the field, with the corre-
spondence, orders, and returns relating specially thereto, and, as
proposed, is to be accompanied by an Atlas.
In this series the reports will be arranged according to the cam-
paigns and several theaters of operations (in the chronological order
of the events), and the Union reports of any event will, as a rule, be
immediately followed by the Confederate accounts. The correspond-
ence, &c., not embraced in the "reports " proper will follow (first
Union and next Confederate) in chronological order.
The 2d Series will contain the correspondence, orders, reports, and
returns, Union and Confederate, relating to prisoners of war, and
(so far as the military authorities were concerned) to State or political
prisoners.
The 3d Series will contain the correspondence, orders, reports, and
returns of the Union authorities (embracing their correspondence
with the Confederate officials) not relating specially to the subjects
of the first and second series. It will set forth the annual and special
reports of the Secretary of War, of the General-in-Chief, and of the
chiefs of the several staff corps and departments; the calls for troops,
and the correspondence between the national and the several State
authorities.
The 4th Series will exhibit the correspondence, orders, reports, and
returns of the Confederate authorities, similar to that indicated for
the Union officials, as of the third series, but excluding the corre-
spondence between the Union and Confederate authorities given in
that series.
