U.S. Military History ? Research Resources - Military Registers

[Dave Danner]

This is part of a series of links to books digitized and available on Google Books which I have collected. I hope the books will be useful or interesting to you (and ideally both ).

Most of the books here are downloadable, but a few can only be read online. All of the books I have identified here, however, are fully available (there are many more books which appear to have been digitized but are not available for either reading or downloading).

This series of books relate to biographical resources on the armed forces of the United States. They are registers of officers of the services of the United States for the periods indicated. The books cover several periods, and some would be of use to the Civil War researcher who may also be interested in the works found in this thread. The last book on the list below covers civilian officials of the U.S. government as well as military.
