This review is from: Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army: From Its Organization, September 29, 1789, to March 2, 1903 (Paperback)
It wasn't until I received the book that I became aware that the offering was for a second volume of a 2 volume set. Unfortunately, the information I required was in volume I. Please note that heading does not mention a volume number.

I received this item and after seeing it was volume 2 I ordered the other NABU PRESS offering (ISBN 9781177376808) assuming it to be
volume 1 of the set. Imagine my surprise when the actual text for the second item was the same. This print-on-demand publisher did manage to find a different copy of v. 2 to duplicate, but the result is the same: two copies of v 2 of Heitman's "Historical register and dictionary...." offered with different ISBNs. Perhaps Amazon should revise the product descriptions to specift the vol. number.

Heitman's register is a must for any serious (by this I mean one who's interests extend beyond battles and weapons) student of the U.S. Army before 1900. The register has information on every regular army and all generals including promotions, assignments, awards, organization tables, lists of key officers etc.
