Synopsis

This book provides an in-depth look at the state of the United States military as it stood in 1816 following the War of 1812. The entries include names, ranks, and service records of every officer in the regular army. It is a valuable resource not just for military historians interested in how the United States prepared for the post-war era, but also for genealogists seeking information about their soldier ancestors. The book is particularly important as it provides an early snapshot of the careers of men who would later go on to lead the army and the nation during times of peace and war.
