This is the standard reference      work on the officers of the Revolutionary War, containing an alphabetically      arranged list, with service records, of 14,000 officers of the Continental      Army, including many officers of the Militia and State Troops who served      during the Revolution. The information given includes the soldier's rank,      dates of service, when and where wounded, taken prisoner, exchanged, or      killed, etc., with the name of the state in which service was rendered and a      designation of company and command.
Some of      the data was not available from official records, so other reliable sources      of information were consulted and data added therefrom in order to complete      the service record of each officer. Some 6,000 names not recorded in the      earlier edition of 1893 were added and a great many records revised and      completed for the last published edition of 1914. Also includes a list of      French officers who served in the U.S. Army, as well as alphabetical and      chronological lists of battles and skirmishes.
". . . This is the best and basic source for      identification of Revolutionary War officers."--
