This register was originall…y published in August of 1865 "by order of the secretary of war, in compliance with the joint resolution of the senate and house of representatives" by the Adjutant General's Office.

The Official Army register of the volunteer force of the United States army is a multi volume work which covers all the individual non-federal (state) commissioned officers which comprised the bulk of the Union Armies during the Civil War (it covers all four years of the war). A General Index was produced as the ninth volume added to the initial 8 volumes produced after the end of the Civil War. "The Volunteer Army Register lists only the officers of volunteer army units which were mustered into Federal service. Although the Volunteer Army Register is a comprehensive listing of all officers attached to volunteer army units, the set does not list the names of staff officers, aide-de-camps, assistant adjutant generals, paymasters, quartermasters, commissaries of subsistence, and brigade surgeons". United States Volunteers also known as U.S. Volunteers, U.S. Volunteer Army, or other variations of these, were military volunteers called upon during wartime to assist the United States Army but who were separate from both the Regular Army and the militia. Until the enactment of the Militia Act of 1903, the land forces of the United States were divided into three separate and distinctive organizations: The Regular Army, which was the permanent military establishment of the United States in peace and war; The Militia of the several states and territories when called into the service of the United States; and Volunteer forces that the Congress of the United States authorized to be organized for a limited time period as an adjunct to the Regular Army in time of emergencies. First Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.
