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, 1865 (Classic Reprint)

The original Register of the Commissioned, Warrant and Volunteer Officers of the Navy of the United States was compiled by the United States Bureau of Naval Personnel to provide a comprehensive administrative record of naval leadership during the American Civil War. Published in early 1865, this document served as an essential bureaucratic tool for tracking the rank, station, and service history of personnel during a period of rapid naval expansion and conflict, offering an official census of the Union's maritime and marine forces.
