Register of the Commissioned, Warrant, and Volunteer Officers of the Navy of the United States: Including Officers of the Marine Corps and Others, to January 1, 1870 (Classic Reprint)

This volume is a digital reproduction of the official 1870 Register of the Commissioned, Warrant, and Volunteer Officers of the Navy of the United States. Originally published by the Navy Department during the post-Civil War era, these registers served as critical administrative tools, documenting the personnel structure of a naval force that had recently transitioned from a wartime footing to a period of consolidation and reform. By capturing the names, ranks, and stations of officers, the register acts as a primary source for historical, genealogical, and military research regarding the late nineteenth-century maritime services.

The 'Classic Reprint' edition, identified by ISBN 9780265830277, is part of a broader commercial initiative to make historical government documentation accessible to modern researchers and hobbyists through print-on-demand technology. These reprints typically utilize scans of public domain material held in university or national library archives. While the design of this specific edition is utilitarian and aimed at readability rather than aesthetic preservation, it serves the important purpose of ensuring that mid-century naval records remain in circulation for those studying the history of the United States Marine Corps and Navy.
