THE WAR OF THE REBELLION: A COMPILATION

Excerpt from The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies The first series will embrace the formal reports, both Union and Confederate, of the first seizures of United States property in the Southern States, and of all mili tary operations in the field, with the correspondence, 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 campaigns and several theaters of operations (in the chronological order of events), and the Union reports of any event will, as a rule, be immediately followed by the Confederate accounts. The correspondence, &c., not embraced in the reports proper will follow (first Union and next Confederate) in chronological order. The second 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.
