Excerpt from Report of the Adjutant General of the State of New Jersey: For the Year Ending October 31st, 1873 State of New Jersey, Adjutant General's Office, Trenton, October 31, 1873. To His Excellency. Joel Parker. Governor and Commander in Chief: Sir: - I have the honor to submit the following report of this department for the year 1873: The daily routine business of this office remains the same as in previous years, with however an increased demand for searches for the records of soldiers of the volunteer army. Our time has during the year been principally devoted to revising and correcting the manuscripts and proof-sheets of the "Official Register of the Officers and Men of New Jersey in the War of the Rebellion." This work is passing through the press as rapidly as the most careful examination and verification of each date and record will admit. We are laboring to make this volume the most complete and exact register of soldiers every published. The style and execution of the work thus far cannot fail to be commended. In addition to the roster of New Jersey organizations we hope to show a record of all credited to this State who served in the United States Regular Army and Navy. Marine Corps, Veteran Reserve Corps and Colored Troops. If this is done the record of no State will be as complete as our own. We have been fortunate in obtaining some valuable documents relating to Jerseymen who participated actively in the French War. These documents give the various positions held and the terms of service of about two thousand soldiers. The papers are still in a rough state, but will be properly arranged by companies and battalions so that the war record of this State may be carried back even to this early period. The National Guard of this State now consists of sixty-nine (69) companies of Infantry, two (2) companies of Cavalry, and two (2) companies of Artillery. The force is complete as allowed by law, except one company of Colored Infantry as yet unorganized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
