COMPILED FROM OFFICIAL RECORDS BY NEWTON A. STRAIT WASHINGTON, D. C. 1902 COPYRIGHT, 1900, BY NEWTON A. STRAIT PREFACE. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF PENSIONS, Washington, D. C. , September 6, 1900. SIR : Some years ago I compiled, for the use of the Bureau, an alpha- betical list of battles of the war of the rebellion, which I afterwards revised. Many additions thereto were made and the battles of the Mexican, Indian, and Revolutionary wars were also included. This compilation was as complete as it was possible to make it from the data to be procured at the time, and it is an accepted fact that it has proved to be of great assistance to the Bureau. Some eight or ten years ago, when the Government commenced the publication of the Rebellion Record, I began a second revision of the Alphabetical List of Battles, taking said record as authority. I have also used all the data obtainable from the reports of the various Depart- ments and from what would appear to be other reliable sources, rela- tive to the Spanish-American war and the Philippine insurrection, such as is believed will be valuable in the adjudication of pension claims on account of service in said wars. The work of revision has been done evenings and at odd hours, prin- cipally out of the office. It is now finished and, although it may nave imperfections, it is believed to be as complete as it is possible to make a work of this kind. I desire to present to you the manuscript for publication for the use of the Pension Bureau, reserving for myself all other rights pertaining thereto. Very respectfully, N. A. STRAIT. Hon. H. CLAY EVANS, Commissioner of Pensions. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF PENSIONS, Washington, September 18, 1900. DEAR SIR: I have to acknowledge and thank you for your generous offer of the 6th instant of permission to have printed a limited number of copies of the Alphabetical List of Battles, compiled by yourself for the use and information of this Bureau. The first edition of the List of Battles and your Roster of Regi- mental Surgeons, with post-office addresses, have proved of valuable assistance to the work of this Bureau. 6968-00 i 446103 2 PREFACE. You state that the work of revision has been done evenings and at odd hours. Under those circumstances I consider you justified in reserving for yourself all other rights and benefits to be derived from the book, and the same should be respected. Very respectfully, H. CLAY EVANS, Commissioner. Dr. N. A. STRAIT, Washington, D. 61 CAUSES OF THE REBELLION. The North and the South had for years held antagonistic views on two vital questions the tariff and slavery. The North, being largely engaged in manufacturing, desired a high tariff; while the South, whose wealth consisted of cotton, sugar, and slaves, desired free trade. The question as to the boundary of slave territory was supposed to be finally settled by the Missouri Compromise of 1820, but when Kansas and Nebraska were established as Territories the compromise was repealed, and the question as to whether they should be free or slave States was left to the people of each Territory to decide for themselves. Then the trouble began. Both parties, the proslavery and the anti- slavery, set to work to get a majority of the votes in their favor, but the settlers from the New England States poured into the new Terri- tory so much more rapidly than those from the Southern States that when Kansas voted on the proposition she decided against slavery by an overwhelming majority. This defeat of the proslavery people caused intense feeling through- out the South, and when the Republican party came into power by the election of Abraham Lincoln, November 6, 1860, the leaders in Southern politics knew that all hopes of a further extension of slave territory were gone, and they immediately began to plan for a disso- lution of the Union. The South Carolina Senators withdrew from Congress November 9 and 11, and that State formally seceded, by a vote of the people, December 20, 1860. It was followed by Mississippi January 9 ; Florida, January 10; Alabama, January 11; Georgia, January 19; Louisiana, January 26; Texas, February 1; Virginia, April 17; Arkansas, May 6; North Carolina, May 21; and Tennessee June 8, 1861. The western portion of Virginia refused to secede, and became a separate State in 1863. The war opened with the firing on the Star of the West by the Con- federate batteries in Charleston Harbor January 9, 1861, and closed, practically, with Lee's surrender, April 9, 1865. O COMPILED FROM OFFICIAL RECORDS. COMPLETE UP TO DATE, INCLUDING THE DISTURBANCE IN CHINA. THE MOST PROMIJS 7 ENT BOOK IN THE LIBRARY. Alphabetical List of Battles, WITH DATES FROM 1754 TO 1900. Condensing practically oil the knowledge of the various wars into one book, which it is believed will meet the needs of the busy world. Reference can be made to the date of any one of the 8,220 battles, skirmishes, and other incidents of the WAR OF THE REBELLION, or to any one of the 1,251 engagements of the SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR and PHILIPPINE INSURRECTION as easily as to a word in the dictionary. All of the battles of the OLD WARS are arranged in the same manner with a brief sketch of each engagement, including the losses. The battles of the AMERICAN REVOLUTION are full and complete. The Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution will find many things of interest in this work. It is the only work of the kind in print, and has been adopted as authority by the Government Departments. It gives the number killed and wounded in each engagement during the Spanish- American War, Philippine Insurrection, and the recent Disturbance in China. The principal events of the REBELLION, SPANISH- AMERICAN WAR, PHILIPPINE INSURRECTION, and the RECENT DISTURBANCE IN CHINA are recorded chronologically as they occurred from day to day. THIS ALONE is WELL WORTH the PRICE of THE BOOK. Considerble space is devoted to the greateat battle of the civil war Gettysb'irg, Pa., July i to 3, 1863. In completeness and authority it is up to date, and as a book of reference to wars it has no equal, and should be in the hands of every officer, soldier, author, reporter, and teacher. No public or private library is complete without it. COMRADES who gave up the peaceful pursuits of civil life for the dangers of the camp and battlefield will enj'oy retracing, in memory, the long marches and engagements participated in, from Fort Sumter to Appomattox, and from Cuba to the Philippines. It will be found a ready reference to settle disputes as to dates of battles and other incidents, and by marking the various engagements in which they took part comrades will leave a record that their children and friends w r ill be proud to exhibit. To ATTORNEYS practicing before the Departments at Washington its worth can not be estimated. It is indispensable. Claims against the Government often fail on account of erroneous dates having been alleged. Claimants can usually fix the correct date of an injury or disease by the date of some battle, skirmish, or incident that took place about the same time. The data from which this work was compiled are principally from official records, requiring a careful search of nearly 100 volumes of the Rebellion Records, and the reports of the various Departments for years. Its use has been adopted by the Departments at Washington, D. C., to settle various questions arising as to dates of battles and incidents of the various wars. The book is neatly bound, and contains 252 pages of interesting matter. If you desire a copy of this work, order at once, as there is but a limited edition . Sent postpaid on receipt of price. Bound in Cloth, - - - $1.00 per copy. Not responsible for remittances, unless sent by post-office money order, registered letter, or draft. Small amounts, however, are usually safe if sent by mail.

Admiral George Dewey : ' ' I have looked through the book and am sure that I shall find it exceedingly valuable as a reference work." Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, U. S. Army (retired): "This interesting volume will be a valued addition to my library." Dear Sir : Your "Alphabetical List of Battles" is the most valuable help to the study of our war record in all wars that has yet appeared. I have found much use for it in the fortnight which has elapsed since receiving it. All libraries which make any pretense to collecting war books should have it. Truly yours, H. V. BOYNTON, ^resident of Board of Education, Washing- ton, D. C., and Chairman Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park Commission. J. W. Palmer, Albany, N. Y., Past Grand Commander, G. A. R.: "The compiler deserves great credit for the time and patience he has devoted to the work. It contains so much valuable and interesting information in addition to the list of battles of the Civil War, that it is really a pleasure to sit down and peruse it." Col. W. W. Dudley, Washington, D. C., Ex-Commissioner of Pensions : " Your recent publication, 'The Alphabetical List of Battles,' is a marvel of careful and exhaustive research, showing patient labor in collecting the data, and good judgment in arranging the same. It is a veritable boon to one interested in pension or military affairs generally, as well as to every lover of the history of our great nation." Military Order of the Loyal Legion, Headquarters of the State of Minnesota, Dear Sir ; * * It is an exceedingly val- uable book, and should be in the posses- sion of every reader of United States history, containing, as it does, informa- tion inaccessible, except to those who have a large library, and to those only after much valuable time has been con- sumed in searching. The matter con- tained in its covers is asked for every day, and in my position as assistant li- brarian of the Minnesota Historical So- ciety, saves me and the reader much time that would otherwise be spent in examining many volumes. * * Yours truly, DAVID L. KINSBURY, Recorder. St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir : I consider this book a very valuable addition to the war literature of the United States. It embodies in a very concise form a vast amount of informa- tion, and is a ready reference book for in- formation regarding the engagements of the civil war in particular, and of the re- cent Spanish-American war. I consider it the best book yet published. Very respectfully, THOS. J. STEWART, Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa. J. P. S. Gobin, Lieutenant-Governor oj Pennsylvania: "It evinces great re- search and industry, and must be re- garded as a valuable book of reference." My Dear Mr. Strait : It gives me great pleasure to say that your book, "Alpha- betical List of Battles, 1754 to 1900," is one of the most complete and perfect books of reference I have ever used, and you deserve the thanks and patronage of every one for this valuable contribution to " Reference Libraries." Very truly, Mrs. JOHN A. LOGAN. Calumet Place, Washington, D. C. Milwaukee, Wis. Dear Sir : I cheerfully endorse and commend the little volume entitled "Al- phabetical List of Battles" as a great saver of time and labor to those who de- sire to get full and accurate data of any battle or battles fought in this country.

My Dear Sir : * * I want to say that the character and amount of information contained in the book show a remark- able degree of care in its preparation, and I find it a reliable and invaluable work of reference.

Galbraith, Williamsport, Pa., Secretary of the Merchants' Associa- tion'. "To every student of history, as well as every intelligent reader, it can not fail to be interesting and serviceable.

Stan ton, accompanied by a military officer unknown to him, at Fort Stevens on the forenoon of July 11. Arriving *oy the Fourteenth street road, their carriage stopped and they alighted about lOu feet from the Brightwood Hotel and crossed the Seventh street road in the rear of the fort, or near where the car barn is now situated. They halted on a small knoll or rise of ground located on the right and not quite abreast of the fort. As they were crossing the Seventh street road they were joined by an officer from the fort with a pair of field glasses, with which he swept the country until he evidently located the object sought. He then handed the glasses to the President, at the same time pointing in the direction that he desired him to look. The glasses were in turn passed to Mr. Stanton and to the unknown officer before mentioned. The distinguished party had been there but a very short time before the officer from the fort ap- peared anxious to have them move from their exposed position. The compiler was not near enougn. to hear the conversation, but the uneasiness of the officer to get them to return was very plain, as shown by his gestures and movements. He finally rather abruptly took the glasses from the Presi- dent's hand and returned them to their case, starting in the direction of the carriage, the party fol- lowed, but rather reluctantly. I believe Mr. Stanton accompanied the officer from the fort on his return to the carriage, the President and the other officer following. The party passed within a few feet of the compiler both in going and returning to their carriage, and were in full view during their entire stay, which did not exceed thirty minutes. It was after- wards learned that the anxiety of the officer from the fort to get the party to a less exposed position was on account of several shots having struck but a short distance from where they were standing. 164 CHRONOLOGICAL EECOED OF THE REBELLION, 1860-1865. 1864-. 13.

In the spring of 1900 the perilous situation of the members of the American lega- tion at Pekin and their complete isolation in the midst of an unruly and murderous populace demanded prompt action for their relief. The commanding general, Divi- sion of the Philippines, was therefore instructed by cable, June 16, 1900, to send at once a regiment of infantry to Taku, and six days later Maj. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, U. S. Volunteers, was selected to command the United States troops to compose the China relief expedition. 182 TROUBLES IN CHINA. SUMMARY OF KVENTS FROM JULY 3 TO AUGUST 28, 1900, WITH TABLE SHOWING CASUALTIES. The following events occurred in China subsequent to the firing by the Taku forts on foreign war vessels which resulted in the surrender of the forte June 17, and to the capture of the east arsenal at Tientsin by the allied forces on the 27th of the same month : July 3. Headquarters and eight troops of the Sixth Cavalry sailed from San Francisco on the Grant for China. July 6. Ninth Infantry landed at Taku. July 11. Two battalions Ninth Infantry reached Tientsin. July 13. Severe engagement at Tientsin between the allied forces and the Chinese. The Ninth Infantry suffered heavily, losing Colonel Liscum and 17 men killed and 5 officers and 72 men wounded. July 14. Tientsin captured by the allies; Third Battalion, Ninth Infantry, reached that place. July 15. Light Battery F, Fifth Artillery, and two battalions Fourteenth Infantry sailed from Manila for China. July 17. Headquarters and four companies Fifteenth Infantry sailed from San Francisco on the Sumner for China. July 26. Two battalions Fourteenth Infantry, on the Indiana, arrived at Taku. July 27. Light Battery F, Fifth Artillery, on the Flintshire, arrived at Taku. July 28. General Chaffee, with headquarters and eight troops Sixth Cavalry, arrived at Taku. July 29.

August 16. Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Barry, U. S. Volunteers, and four companies Fifteenth Infantry arrived at Taku. August 19. Action near Tientsin, in which Sixth Cavalry had 6 men wounded. August 21. Four batteries Third Artillery, on the Hancock, arrived at Taku August 28. The allied forces formally entered the palace grounds at Pekin.

AUTHOBITY FOB INCBEASE AND BEOBGA.NIZATION OF THE BEOULAK AND VOLTTNTEEB MILITABY FOBCES. [From report of the Adjutant-General.] On the passage of the joint resolution, approved April 20, 1898, demanding that Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, the Army of the United States consisted of 2,143 officers and 26,040 enlisted men. Under the above resolution and the act of April 22, 1898, the President issued a proclamation April 23, 1898, calling for 125,000 volunteers. This was followed on May 25, 1898, by a proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteers. The approval of the act of April 26, 1898, increased the Regular Army to 63,106 men, to be reduced at the end of the war to a peace basis, namely, 26,610 enlisted men. Meeting this instruction of the Congress, the men enlisted under the above act (practically for the war with Spain) were informed, in General Orders, No. 40, May 10, 1898, that they would be granted their discharge, if desired, at the close of the war, upon individual application. By the act approved May 11, 1898, Congress authorized, in addition to the volun- teers provided by the act of April 22, the organization of a volunteer brigade of engi- neers of not more than 3,500 men. The same act authorized the organization of an additional volunteer force not exceeding 10,000 men, possessing immunity from disease incident to tropical climates. The protocol was signed August 12, 1898, and on September 5, 1898, the first organ- ization of volunteers was mustered out of the service. This was followed immediately by orders for the muster out of nearly one-half of the Volunteer Army. On the signing of the treaty of peace, April 11, 1899, it at once became necessary to muster out all the volunteer organizations, but, as stated heretofore, the volunteers in the Philippines cheerfully remained and rendered service until the Government was able to send regular and volunteer regiments to relieve them. The act of March 2, 1899, authorized the President to "enlist" from the nation at large 35,000 volunteers, or so much thereof as might be necessary. Under the same act Congress authorized the recruitment of the Regular Army to 65,000 men. Under the act of March 2, 1899, authority was given the commanding general, Department of Porto Rico, to recruit a battalion of volunteers (400) from among the Porto Ricans, and such recruiting began on March 24, 1899. On July 5, 1899, the President, through the Secretary of War, ordered the organi- zation of ten regiments of volunteer infantry; on July 18, 1899, of two regiments of volunteer infantry and a regiment of volunteer cavalry (the three regiments last named to be organized and recruited in the Philippine Islands) ; on August 17, 1899, of ten additional regiments of volunteer infantry; and on September 9, 1899, of two additional regiments of volunteer infantry (the enlisted men and company officers of the last two regiments to be colored).

WAR OF THE REBELLION (April 15, 1861, to August 20, 1866). The last-named date is held by the Supreme Court as the legal termination of the war. On that date President Johnson issued a proclamation stating that the war was at an end, the proclamation being necessary , as the State of Texas was not finally subdued until that date. 1 It is held by the Pension Bureau and Secretary of the Interior that enlistments in loyal States after April 13, 1865, will not be deemed as rebellion service for pension- able purposes. Enlistments in any other States, Territories, or District of Columbia after June 1, 1865, will not be deemed as enlistments for the war of the rebellion. It is held that enlistments in the United States Navy after July 1, 1865, were not in or for the war of the rebellion. To overcome this the burden of proof is upon the claimant. In another decision it is held by the Assistant Secretary of the Interior that the technical legal termination of the war was August 20, 1866. Service rendered after July, 1865, will be presumed not to have been in said war, and that burden of proof will be upon the claimant. Service rendered after April 2, 1866, must be shown to have been rendered in some connection with the war as existing in the State of Texas. Service rendered in the State of Tennessee after June 13, 1865, will be presumed not to have been in said war. President Johnson issued a peace proclamation May 9, 1865. Recruiting for the war ceased immediately after General Lee's surrender April 9, 1865, and muster-out began April 29, 1865. The last battle or skirmish is reported to have been fought May 13, 1865, and the last Confederate forces surrendered May 26, 1865. The blockade was raised by proclamation June 23, 1865, and General Grant's final official report of military operations is dated July 22, 1865. J Sioux INDIAN WAR, MINNESOTA (August, 1862 to 1863).

From April 21, 1898, to April 1 1, 1899. (The protocol was signed August 12, 1898. ) For a period of ten years, from 1868 to 1878, the inhabitants of Cuba were engaged in a struggle to free themselves from the yoke of Spanish tyranny, but were defeated. The Spanish Government made most liberal promises, but failed to keep them. Hostilities were renewed which lasted for three years, from 1895 to 1898. The inhabi- tants were in a most deplorable condition; the reconcentrados men, women, and children, noncombatants were by edict of the Spanish captain-general, Weyler, driven from their homes, crowded together without proper food or shelter, and died by thousands of disease and starvation. The attention and sympathy of the American people had for several years been attracted to this miserable condition of the Cubans, and many attempts had been made to relieve their distress. At the beginning of 1898 about 40 per cent of the inhabitants had perished. At this juncture two events happened which increased the tension in the United States. One was the exposure of a letter written by Senor de Lome, the Spanish minister to the United States, to a friend, grossly reflecting upon the President; the other was a demand by the Spanish Government for the recall from Cuba of Consul-General Lee, which was refused. On the 25th of January, 1898, the United States battleship Maine was ordered to Habana Harbor, on a peaceful mission, by the authority of the United States, and on the 15th of February, 1898, between 9 and 10 o'clock p. m., the vessel was blown up by a submarine mine, 266 sailors loosing their lives. A searching investigation followed without fixing the responsibility. Congress immediately appropriated $50,000,000 "for the national defense and for each and every purpose connected therewith, to be expended at the discretion of the President. ' ' After fruitless effort to bring about an amicable settlement, on April 11, 1898, the President asked Congress to intervene to stop the Cuban war, and by force to estab- lish a stable government on the island. On April 19, 1898, Congress passed resolu- tions, which were signed by the President at 11.24 a. m. the following day, declaring "that the people of the island of Cuba are, and by right ought to be, free and inde- pendent," and demanding that Spain at once relinquish its authority in the island, etc. It also authorized the President to use the entire military force of the United States to carry the resolution into effect. The diplomatic relations between the two countries ceased April 21, 1898, and it was held that a state of war existed from that date. Blockade of the principal Cuban ports was declared April 22, and on the 23d the President called for 125,000 volun- teers to serve two years, and on May 24 the Spanish Government announced that a state of war between that country and the United States existed. The protocol of agreement between the United States and Spain was signed at Washington, D. C., August 12, 1898, by William R. Day and Jules Cambon. The treaty of peace was signed at Paris December 10, 1898, by William R. Day, Cushman K. Davis, William P. Frye, George Gray, and Whitelaw Reid, for the United States, and by Eugenio Montero Rfos, B. de Abarzuza, J. de Garnica, W. R. de Villa Urrutia, and Rafael Cerero, for the Kingdom of Spain. Signed at Paris, December 10, 1898; ratification advised by the Senate February 6, 1899; ratified by the President February 6, 1899; ratified by Her Majesty the Queen Regent of Spain March 19, 1899; ratifications exchanged at Washington April 11, 1899; proclaimed, Washington, April 11, 1899. BATTLES OF THE OLD WARS, 1754-1848, ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED, INCLUDING CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY OF EVENTS OF THE MEXICAN WAR. FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR, 1754-1763. The French and Indian war was carried on between the English and French colo- nies in America for the possession of North America. France claimed the whole region west of the Alleghanies as a part of the basins of the St. Lawrence and Missis- sippi. England claimed the country west of its Atlantic settlements. The French numbered about 80,000 whites assisted by the Indians; the English more than 1,100,000, but were divided into 13 discordant governments. The war ended in 1763, on the signing of the treaty of peace in Paris. France resigned to England all her possessions east of the Mississippi, and Spain, New Orleans, and her possessions west of that river. Abraham, Plains of, near Quebec, Canada Sept. 12-13, 1759.

The British overpowered the Americans, but not until their ammunition was exhausted. Loss: American, 139 killed, 314 wounded and missing; British, 226 killed, 828 wounded and missing. It is doubtful if Pomeroy was the principal officer. General Putnam, it is claimed, was in command. (Who was in command is not well established. } The following is another account of the same battle: On the night of June 16, 1775, a detachment of about 1,200 men left Cambridge under orders to fortify and defend the heights overlooking Boston. Col. William Prescott, from his experience in military affairs and his being an officer in the Mas- sachusetts line, had been chosen to conduct the enterprise. The start was made about 9 o'clock. At Charlestown Neck they were met by the wagons laden with intrenching tools. It was necessary to proceed with the utmost caution, for they were coming on ground over which the British kept jealous wateh. The orders were to fortify Bunker Hill, but when the designated place was reached it was decided that Breeds Hill (about 700 yards' distant) was the better point to hold, as it was nearer Boston and had a better command of the town and shipping. The lines for the fortifications were marked out. The men seized their trenching tools and set to work with great spirit. Prescott, who felt the responsibility of his charge, almost despaired of carrying on these operations undiscovered. A party was sent to patrol the shore at the foot of the heights and watch for any movement of the enemy. Not willing to trust entirely to the vigilance of others, he twice went down during the night to the water's edge, reconnoitering everything scrupulously and noting every sight and sound. At dawn of day the Americans at work were espied by the sailors on board of the ships of war, and the alarm was given. The captain of the Lively, the nearest ship, without waiting for orders, opened fire upon the hill; the other ships followed his example. Prescott now mounted the parapet and walked leisurely about inspecting the works, giving directions and talking cheer- fully with the men. Encouraged by the words and the brave example of their commander, standing in full view at the top of the embankment with cannon balls passing him on all sides, the men completed the earthworks and prepared to meet the British soldiers.

Early Pension Legislation. It will be of interest to know that the foundation of our present pension system is older than the Declaration of Independence. The first national pension law was passed August 26, 1776, before our independence was established. But prior to this, early in the history of colonial legislation, many of the English colonies in America had provided for the relief of wounded and maimed soldiers. In 1636 the Pilgrims at Plymouth enacted in their courts that any man who should be sent forth as a soldier and return maimed should be maintained competently by the colony during his life. This was probably the first pension law passed in America. In 1676 a standing committee of the general court of Massachusetts Bay held regular meetings in "Boston toune house" to hear the applications of wounded soldiers for relief. After the union of Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth colonies under the charter of 1691, the province continued to make provision for the relief of disabled soldiers out of the public treasury. BATTLES OF THE OLD WARS, 1754-1848. 243 In 1644 the Virginia assembly passed a disability pension law, and later provision for the relief of the indigent families of soldiers who should be slain. Similar acts are found in the colonial statutes of Maryland and New York in the latter part of the seventeenth century. In 1718 Rhode Island enacted a pension law, which provided that every officer, soldier, or sailor employed in the colony's service, who should be disabled by loss of limb or otherwise from getting a livelihood for himself and family or other dependent relatives, should have his wounds carefully looked after and healed at the colony's charge, and should have an annual pension for the mainte- nance of himself and family or other dependent relatives. The law further provided that if any person, who had the charge of maintaining a wife, children, parents, or other relatives, should be slain in the colony's military service, these relatives should lie maintained while unable to provide for themselves. The above shows that the custom of pensioning soldiers is as old as the English settlement. The first national pension law, that of August 26, 1776, promised half pay for life or during disability to every officer, soldier, or sailor losing a limb in any engage- ment, or being so disabled in the service of the United States as to render him inca- pable of earning a livelihood. On August 24, 1780, a resolution was adopted extending the above half-pay provi- sion to the widows or orphan children of such officers as had died, or should die in the service. This was the first national pension law in behalf of widows and orphans. On April 23, 1782, Congress provided that soldiers who were sick or wounded or unfit for duty should receive a discharge and be pensioned at the rate of $5 per month. It is further shown that history is repeating itself, as Congress was as unable at that time as at the present to enact pension laws that were in all respects satis- factory to the masses. The money was not always in the Treasury to pay the pensions after the same had been granted, much being promised but little realized. Many were paid in commutation certificates payable to them or bearer and drawing interest at 6 per cent, but no provision was made for paying either. Many of these were compelled to part with their certificates as low as 12 cents on the dollar. PENSIONS TABLE OF RATES.

Section 4699, Revised Statutes, provides that the rate of eighteen dollars per month may be proportionately divided for any degree of disability established for which section forty-six hundred and ninety-five makes no provision, thus fixing the highest rating provided by existing laws which can be allowed by considering disabilities separately and compounding so as to allow the full amount which the disabilities, so considered, would aggregate. The act of March 2, 1895, provides that all pensioners now on the rolls who are pensioned at less than six dollars per month, for any degree of pensionable disabil- ity, shall have their pensions increased to six dollars per month; and that, hereafter, whenever any applicant for pension would, under existing rates, be entitled to less than six dollars for any single disability or several combined disabilities, such pen- sioner shall be rated at not less than six dollars per month: Prodded also, That the 246 PENSIONS TABLE OF RATES. provisions hereof shall not be held to cover any pensionable period prior to the passage of this act, nor authorize a rerating of any claim for any part of such period, nor prevent the allowance of lower rates than six dollars pe"r month, according to the existing practice in the Pension Office in pending cases covering any pensionable period prior to the passage of this act. The widow of a soldier or sailor who died of a disability incurred while in the service and in line of duty is, under the provisions of section 4702, Revised Statutes, entitled to the rating to which he would have been entitled for a simple total disabil- ity, as shown in Table I; and under the provisions of section 4696, Revised Statutes, th'e rank of the soldier is determined by the rank held by him when death cause was incurred, without regard to subsequent promotions. From and after March 19, 1886, by the act approved on that date, the widow of a private or noncommissioned officer is entitled to $12 per month, provided that she married deceased soldier or sailor prior to March 19, 1886, or thereafter married him prior to or during his term of service. WIDOW',S INCREASE. From and after July 25, 1866, a widow is entitled to $2 per month increase for each legitimate minor child of the soldier or sailor in her care and custody. MINOR'S PENSION. Same rates and increase as in widows' claims, except that in cases of children of fathers below the rank of a commissioned officer the rate is increased to 81 2 per month from March 19, 1886, without regard to date of soldier's or sailor's marriage.

STRAIT, PUBLISHER, 'Alphabetical List of Battles," No. 2210 Thirteenth Street, N. W. WASHINGTON. D. C. WHAT PROfllNENT PEOPLE 5AY OF THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BATTLES. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. Army: " I find it quite useful as a book of reference." Admiral George Dewey : ' ' I have looked through the book and am sure that I shall find it exceedingly valuable as a reference work." Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, U. S. Army (retired) : "This interesting volume will be a valued addition to my library." Dear Sir : Your "Alphabetical List of Battles" is the most valuable help to the study of our war record in all wars that has yet appeared. I have found much use for it in the fortnight which has elapsed since receiving it. All libraries which make any pretense to collecting war books should have it. Truly yours, H. V. BOYNTON, President of Board of Education, Washing- ton, D. C., and Chairman Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park Commission. J. W. Palmer, Albany, N. Y., Past Grand Commander, G. A. R.: "The compiler deserves great credit for the time and patience he has devoted to the work. It contains so much valuable and interesting information in addition to the list of battles of the Civil War, that it is really a pleasure to sit down and peruse it." Col. W. W. Dudley, Washington, D. C., Ex-Commissioner of Pensions : " Your recent publication, 'The Alphabetical List of Battles,' is a marvel of careful and exhaustive research, showing patient labor in collecting the data, and good judgment in arranging the same. It is a veritable boon to one interested in pension or military affairs generally, as well as to every lover of the history of our great nation." Military Order of the Loyal Legion, Headquarters of the State of Minnesota, Dear Sir ; * * It is an exceedingly val- uable book, and should be in the posses- sion of every reader of United States history, containing, as it does, informa- tion inaccessible, except to those who have a large library, and to those only after much valuable time has been con- sumed in searching. The matter con- tained in its covers is asked for every day, and in my position as assistant li- brarian of the Minnesota Historical So- ciety, saves me and the reader much time that would otherwise be spent in examining many volumes. * * Yours truly, DAVID L. E^INSBURY, Recorder. St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir : I consider this book a very valuable addition to the war literature of the United States. It embodies in a very concise form a vast amount of informa- tion, and is a ready reference book for in- formation regarding the engagements of the civil war in particular, and of the re- cent Spanish-American war. I consider it the best book yet published. Very respectfully, THOS. J. STEWART, Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa. J. P. S. Gobin, Lieutenant-Governor oj Pennsylvania: "It evinces great re- search and industry, and must be re- garded as a valuable book of reference." My Dear Mr. Strait : It gives me great pleasure to say that your book, ''Alpha- betical List of Battles, 1754 to 1900," is one of the most complete and perfect books of reference I have ever used, and you deserve the thanks and patronage of every one for this valuable contribution to " Reference Libraries." Very truly, Mrs. JOHN A. LOGAN. Calumet Place, Washington, D. C. Milwaukee, Wis. Dear Sir : I cheerfully endorse and commend the little volume entitled "Al- phabetical List of Battles" as a great saver of time and labor to those who de- sire to get full and accurate data of any battle or battles fought in this country. Its arrangement is good, and its list of battles complete. Truly yours, A. G. WEISSERT. Late Commander-in-Chief, G. A. R. Dear Sir : * * * It being tha only complete work of the kind pub- lished being handy to refer to it will be duly appreciated. I shall always keep it on a handy shelf in my library. Yours truly, DAVID BI,Y, I*ate Captain 13131 Pa. Vols., Williamsport, Pa. My Dear Sir : * * I want to say that the character and amount of information contained in the book show a remark- able degree of care in its preparation, and I find it a reliable and invaluable work of reference. There is hardly a day that I do not find it necessary to consult its pages. Yours, very truly, T. D. YEAGER, Agent National Home for D . V. S., Pacific Building, Washington, D. C. Mr. J. J. Galbraith, Williamsport, Pa., Secretary of the Merchants' Associa- tion'. "To every student of history, as well as every intelligent reader, it can not fail to be interesting and serviceable. I shall hope to see it introduced gener- ally in the public schools. No other single publication affords the same valu- able information. "
