Whoever has attempted to use successfully the -War of the Rebellion set can attest to the frustration, despair, and anguish involvedin getting at the information expeditiously. judicious use of the Official Records 0, further complicated ,by the relative ignorance of the scope and depth of each work.

"' The American Civil Sr ais the most written about war in United ' States history.Confederate and Union official ri.iyLls, and the 'comalmvhidence of Officers and civilian administrators were printed by)he United States Government Printing Office as the 129 boa 0 Officsal Fecords,'Aimy and the 31 book Official Records, Navy. th. addition, the Government Printing Office pUbliahed, in eight volumed, the U. S. Congress' Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War: These three sources have been used.extemsively by researchers into traps if they do not use the material critically

The Officiat Records, Army (0. R.) and the Official Records, Navy (0; R. N. or N.O., R.) are not infallible. The firsthand reports written by ships' captains, regimental colonels, and ocerarters of operations reflect their stresses, moods and knOw- ledge of the situation. Few reports actually state the =mender lost the battle or his men behaved badly "back-biting'and "apple - ,polishing" can be-detected: Many reports were written either too soon after the battle for as clear perspective or so long afterwards to be merely a judiciously phresednemoir.Although in many cases an offioar6S report was really written to defend his own actions, usually, officers did report events truthfully, as they, saw them.

' Another shortcaning in these repOrts is the inclusion of some falsified documents. This is particularly tfue of Confederate material which should be evaluated carefully before it is used by researchers. The researcher should judge the reliability of the writer and whether the'data is consistent with other,infondatial

' before basing conclusions pn these docyments. meoently Confederate Thomas Bennett Mac:Rail's original diary was scrutinized and compered to the pUblishet-version. It was discovered by) Pliofessor Richard M. MCPUrray of Valdosta State College, ;

that Mackall's diary was rewritten before it was turned over to - the editors of the O. R. Entries were deleted, added and changed to enhance General. Joseph E. Johnston's reputation while downgrading General John Bell Hood's leadership capabilities.

The Guide Index to the O. R., pUhliehed'by the tional Archives will be a time saver to researchers using the'0. R. 1 references printed in the 0. Rand O. R. Atlas pertaining to a battle or campaign listed. The projected faVb vo Index to the O. R. will be published by 1979.

The greet amount of popular writing on the war before 1880helped tic- inspire Congress.to autnoriee the gathering of documents of tile United States, .bothsides.c. The'yritingtdmil4thry history hadup to this time, beenofconcern only to Lars,radadebiriams, and devotees of the subject. "The chief idea was to present to the reader a oOnnected account of any military event both tram- Union andConfederaterecords."1, Ogle likely this idealistic desire to keep tne facts accurate for nistorical reference and'adcessible to s XL, _the American public in convenient and peamenent form was angther W motivation. A preliminary printing of 47 !plumes wassbegun in 1864 and . by the Adjutant General's Office in simple.chronological form by type of material such as telegrams, Letters, etc. Thirty volumes were printed befrce"the-publication was halted becauseit was too' cumbersome to use; as many as six volumes wouldinclude material I. pertaining to one battle. Papers were organized only by day and not by event.8The War Department office tookover from the Adjutant General's Office in 1876. -The WarDepartrent Office published Volume I in July, 1881 and continued regularpublishing of the 12q.bcoks until the index volume was publishedyin 1901.

Meanwhile, the G.A.R. (Grand Army ofthe Republic) Confederate Veteran, Southern Historical SocietyPapers, Loyal Legion, and other strong political and patriotic organizationslobbied Congress for an official. war record.9 Matey people taus appreciated the necessityof permanent records.Goverment documents would be a "guarantee of genuineness." There was an early ncyment by pliticallyaKibitious veterans to re-edit or rewrite reports andcorrespondence and even add what amounted to reminiscences. Bortunately, editorHobert N. Scott, the man most responsible forsystematizing the practices that twenty-two later editors of the O. R. and the editors of the !I.0. eventually followed, was able toconvince Congress of the unreliability of human recollections and the dander ofallowing chan4es10Congress therefore directed that the publicationshould consist of nothing ppt contemporary maters 1.11 Lieutenant Colonel Scott did notsee the work completed, nor did many of the veteransof the war, but so great t was his influence that the ncmentum of his'plux.amcarried the 0.

Choice of what was to be rejected proved to be generallyexcel- lent. 'Editor Robert Scott stated that "no report or document ofany kind, which by any possibility can be useful for historical research, is cmitted.23 Participants in the war based Vieiraction upon infor- mation they had at the time, Whetner erroneous or factual. Many battle reports, therefore, include erroneous informationr troop movements. Controversies would have developed to such a p , if the N. 0. R. or the 0. R. were editor' ired, that the publications might not have been campleted.24 Errors of information werethusleft untouched. Historical` material, then e, dictated what was finally

included in the 0. R. and the N. . . The publications helped -settle tong disputes over the disperi.ty between Union and 'Confederate nifinbsrs and losses in battles. The routine letters of bureaus and depertmAnts, such as material coocerninrappIicationstor appointments, arms, contracts, discharges, special exchanges, muster rolls, cnarges of disloyalty, claims of all descriptions, including personal services, offers for contracts or of inventiogs, plus unsolicited adViceor suggestions gram individuals were ed101uded. General Orders and Sp;cial Orders were Published separately bytheAdjutant General's Of ice. The Quartermaster Department also published its Galeral Orders.

material of value was not printed, however, diie to its large dune or unavailability.Among those were sane bureau War.-44 Navy Secretaries' reports.Bduse and Senate reports, the pers of .17 E. Lee.'s Appomattox Headquarters, and sane of Union General jor,ifElocker's papers. Gaps in Confederate material include the t battles of Seven bays, Jackson's Valley Campaign, Vicksburg, , and the winter of 1864-65. It appears fran a survey made by the author, however, that many historians would still largely reject what the editors of the N. 0. R. and the 0. R. rejected.26 HOwevai, sane material was accidentally overlooked and deserved publication. In, using theNavy compilation and the Army compilation, then, the,researotem7nuet be consciousof its peculiarities

Organization of the 0. R. ani.N. 0. R.

The 128 booksoltraiVar. are divl&edsintorseries, volumes, also by theater: The parts, and chapters by or engagement and 0. R. has been divided into fourseries. Series I contains both Union and Confederate battle reports andcorrespondence and is by far the regional arrangement, most lengthy. It follows a chronological and Correspondence, with Union:material precedingConfederaie material. orders and reports relating to a battle ortampign were arranged to give a complete history in the same volume. Volumes 51, 5z and 53 of Series I contain supplemental materialreceived or discovered tinplate to be included in properchronological and regional order. Series II consists of state, political and military prison reports,orders and 1". mobilization, returns. Series III contains Union 'information on procurement of food, supplies,transportation and ammunitiqh, including special state and federal reports. Series TV consists of similiar Confederate reports.Each book ends with an and corrections" for the careful researcherto c !' 34s 4P The 30 volumes of the N. 0. R. are arrangeddifferently The N. 0. R. editors,'working fran 1894 to1927, learned much from the 0. R. editors, who worked 1881 to1901. James R. Soley, U.S. Naval Academy history and law professor,particularly put "vigor and direction" into editing the Navycampilation.27 rs Naval officers generally had more timethan Army officers to compile careful action reports. Volumes I - 27 of Series .I contain inforination on naval operations; Volume I concerns cruiserson the high seas while theotherovolumes coverUnion and Confederate naval vessels on thelOrivers and the Atlantic andthe GU14xoasts.

Series II consists of three volumes: Volume I, statistical data onships of both sides; Volume,2,official naval-department correspon- dence; and Volume 3, muster rolls of theConfederate Navy and Marines. Botn editorial groups realized Confederatematerial would be hard to find and therefore published as much as tneycould borasecr buy. Althougn thedpr. 0. R. does not have a separateatlas, most volumes contain useful naps, tables, and pictures. The Pickett papers of Colonel Jahn T. Puckett, chief of staff toGeneral john C. Breckin- ridge, in Series II, Volume 3, have beendescribed by the Civil Whr historian, E. B. Long, as f'thebat-available printed sources of Confederate State Departmentcorrespondenceforeign relations, purchaaing operations, etc.28 ,

O. R. Gaps

There are same dangers in using the N. 0. R. and theO. N. they can be overestimated. Not all existing material connected with Mili- tary operations are to be found in the Official Records, Naviesand the OfficialHecorde, Armies. The United States Congress Joint Committee'on the conduct of the War issued various reports of.militmrY operations which the Committee exernined and investigated. ND documentary evidence is Onovided in the 0. R. for almosta third of the operations listed. Neither the 0. R. editors nor milibaty historians have written anything aboUt this deficiency. 42Military bureaus of enrollments, oonscriptions, ordnance, subsistence, haveto be found in various libraries and archives.Particulaz unit history material, such as exact strength an:Ira:Tale of the command,are more often to be round in the individual papers or the participants invarious libraries,

The N. 0. R. often must be used in conjunction with othersource materiai. Series I of that!. O. R., being only a selection of available corteepondence, does not contain all significant intonation, Civil War Chronology, 1861-1865, recently published in sixparts by EEWU.S.Naval History Division serves as an additionalsource using the N. 0. R.44 Detailed stunies of Civil War Naval require examination or. original records available in theNational Archives.

0. R. Accuracy

are must'be taken when using plats of tpe 0. R. Many of the earlier volumes, containing correspondence, need considerablere: vision.44 It is important to know the circa metances under which the ' report was produced.An estimate of the character andreliability of the intonation on which a report was based is required.The his- torian also needs to seek possible motives for or -modification of the truth by the framers or theor report Ccarenting officers were naturally reluctant to t any Short- comdrqpildper of their leadership or in the conduct of theirmen.

2a,' die battle of Pleasant Hill (second engagement) report sums up a Union brigade's casualties of eignt.men killed and seveityuounded.However,' the report fails to rote that the 34th Iowa bore the brunt of the attack with six killed and 58 wounded. too often the 0.-R. will list brigade casualties only.Other discrepancies can be tound,by reterringtothe original, battle dispatches (not in the 0. R.). Alto, explicative material has beenleft out, without which the existing published docurents assume different shades of intergretation.45 Social, adrainistrative and ecomomicresearchers have feud the 0. R. helpful but still need to check the archives for correspondence of particular subordinate officials and various departzaents for "raw material". A Some officers and civil adMinistrators colored their statements or were lax in writing reports to their superiors. Occasionally details were therefore forgotten or misrepresented. Conmonly, sketchy report:la reds during combat by small unit canniulders were passed to reginlantad., or division canreinders who often corrected the- data in light of, what seemed to them, more authentic information. The 'Original sketchy infarction was often not verified in battle but aipplenented by reports of scouts, reports of officers who had been part way to the front, somewhat confused reportsfromwounded officers and troops, end intcaoration tram same neighboring units.46 The time of reports is important. RObert.E. Lee used the miliehry argunents contained in his blerylaril invasion report to Substantiate his after- action report on the Army of Northern Virginia after Antietsm.47Other officers were prejuliced.trward some officers or sensitive to military slights, such as juniors in rank being given better opportunities. For example, Union General Joseph HOoker asked 'to be relieved from command when General Oliver Otis Howard, "Fighting Joe Hooker's" former subordinate, was placed in command of the union Army of the Tennessee,A 'critical officer, such as "Stonewall" Jackson,would impress an unfamil4ar reader with the number of poor officers he had. Fen' officers 'minded their own poor decisions.46

A must be =de of the validity of. officer reports in the N.' 1). R.-andthe 0.' R. by comparing them with known facts in archival sources, Mboreis Bebe/lion Record, histories, and satetiffes on the battle-field checking. Defeated officers often covered up their faults by claiming strategic wtthdrawais or ahifting responsibility. It is often difficult to discern from official reports of a iingle action who actually won. Successful ofticers often claimed too such credit, such as Union General: John Pope at Island No.10.49 Confeder., ate General Thames J. Jackson often wrote his battle reports several maths after tne 'action. Because officers of both high and low rank had the,habit of retaining papers, such as letters and order books, individual manuscript collections must te searches. An additional gap was created during the 1860's and 1870's when some goverremant file records disappeared. Cue to the lack of comparable Confederate reports or certain key battles, sane Confederate officers were asked to write their reports fifteen years after the actual battle,. Same

15 events were written by oftioers Who had no direct part in them. The accuracy of these Confederal, reports is sometimes questionable.50

The 0. R. compilers used odd publipations and moments plus the Rebellion Record for a battle list. Frank Mbore's semi-official FigREEiciiReccrd material was taken fran conterpora,ry , and errors as would be expected were copies into the 0. R.5 The0. R. 'tors also borxowed,many dbmbat entries on faith fran parts-VII.ard VIII.of the Official Army Register of Volunteer...for the Civil War. The list wasToued.com fran casualtk notatidhs cn mister rolls and strengtkreturns. The data was accepted. Unevaluated material, with errors, was this incorporated in the Army compilation. Miscellahechs information, adjustments and guessoork:nede up later ofticer's-revprts. Other reports were written-too soon after a battle for clear perspec- tiVe. the wrong date, place or type of occurrence therefore was copied. A supposed skimisost Magruder's Ferry, Virginia, was really Magruder's Ferry, . Three skizeu.shes are listed as havieg occurred in Pennsylvania an JUly 5, 1863, after tne battle of GettYi- turg: one at Greencastle, another at lierdersburg, and the third at Chnningham's Crossroads. "hey are different names for the same action. Currangbam's'Crossroads turns out to be located just soutn of the state line in Maryland.,

Confederate officers often wrote their reports and used the name, of the town nearest an action, like Manses, , while Union officers usually had field headquarteriand used names of geographical features, like Bull Run. Spencer, West Virginia is'aisted as having a skirmish on June lb, 1862, but it is misdated by two years. Other etemples of inaccuracies are numerous, especially regarding local

operations.52 ; . Can the N.0. R. and the 0.'N. be ovei-used?It appears so because of the uneven bibliographies in a few micrographs. Occasionally writers use the Navy coapilation and the Army compilation without balancing their material with other printed and nmrmscript souioes. Writers need to separate fact and interpretation.Diaries or letters, written while the facts wire fresh in mind and when hasty rirst impressions had been corrected in light of fuller information have pomehlt=01 recourse. In such narratives personal bias is more easily than in impersonally 'coached official rep&ts; where use of several such narratives is poesible,.the personal element may be in great neasure eliminated. Maruseript sources cannot supercede the document out can assist in warning thaethe official occurent

is so corrupted or soyemote from the actual occurrences it purports , to describe that it should be altogether rejected.53

4 The United States War Deparrnent continued to receive private .gifts of original documents after the last book was printed.Origi- nally, there were plans to publish more docunefits in two additional volumes,"but none have yet been issued, althougn enough significant ipts have been located to provide material for new source books. Papers of the Southern Historical Society, Richmona, Virginia J published many Confederate papers not in the,O. R. Douglas Southall Fteeman!sa of Confederate Papers lists other Confederate ' neumsc24414 m to Southern history that were not included in the 0. R.6# Other records are to be found in various sources for the diligent researcher.

. 4iMlfederate correspondence has been difficult to secure not only because of military and political reasons but also because of the scarcity of paper used tor gun-wadding and tne fact that many documehts were written on cheap brown sheets which deteriorate from} time and exposure. Same official returns were made on wall paper torn from

. walls. Light-colored ink, difficult to read, was alscused by Robert E. Lee, George Pickett and otner Confederates:55

. ! Ramat: historians and archivists have cnecked the N.'0. R.'*and the 0. R. for accuracy. Minor details often were not checked because of the size of the project. many of the spelling errors occur in graphic and personal names, especially in the earlier volumes. geographic names have caused the folloWing inaccuracies: Cbrrzck's Ford necame Carridk's Ford, Champion Hill became Champion's , Hill), and Snyder's Bluff became Haynes Bluff.Often the original r.sources gave the correct spelling.56 Careful archival study hai discovered many discrepancies in the 0. R. small unit actions. Small unit actions addcunt for less than half ot the reports in the 0. R. For example; the death o on September 16, 1861 at Magruder's Ferry, MatYland, from aver by a team of.horses, resulted in the accident being

that date as a skirmish. I, researcher, to be/cost should check in more than one - ; for place names, ter and of

. . An important value of tne N. 0. R. and the 10. R. is that papers -were published the way they were written and officially acted upon. The benefit of having both former Union and Contederate officers serving in editorial capacities contributed to tne accuracy and impartiality of the records. Dated dommentsestablished=fects and led students and historians to further investigate controversies and attempt to settle disputes.58Recognizing the limits of the N. 0. R. and the 0.
