Annual Reports Of The Bureau Of Military Statistics

The Bureau of Military Statistics was created by the New York State Legislature during the Civil War. It was charged with three tasks:

First: To collect and preserve in permanent form an authentic sketch of every person from this State, who has volunteered into the service of the General Government since April 15, 1861, and the personal history of such person while in such service, so far as the same can be ascertained.

Second: A record of the services of the several regiments, including an account of their organization and subsequent history; and,

Third: An account of the of the aid afforded by the several town, cities and counties of the State.

This Bureau, which published five reports between 1864 and 1868, was chaired by Lockwood L. Doty.
