Index for the Supplement to the Official Records

Several year ago I posted on Broadfoot Publishing’s hard to find set Supplement to the Official Records.  In that post, I linked to a very detailed index of the set, but when I went to click on the link recently, the site the index is on had exceeded its bandwidth.  In an effort to give this index a more permanent home, I’ve duplicated that index below.  I hope some researchers and other students of the Civil War find it useful.

Part
I: Reports

Reports
of engagements, actions, battles, maneuvers, etc.,
written by an officer to an officer.
Included are post war reports requested by
the Adjutant General, eyewitness accounts of engagements
otherwise infrequently described, and accounts supplying
substantive supplemental material, including court-martials,
courts of inquiry and proceedings.

Part
II: Record of Events & Itineraries

Records
of Events and itineraries show troops movements and
give histories of the units.
Confederate transcriptions include the officer
rosters which usually accompanied the records. Listed
by states, alphabetically, with organizations numbered
and named, grouped by organization type.  Records of Events were transcribed from the National Archives
microfilm M594 (Union, 225 rolls) and M861 (Confederate,
74 rolls).

    Brett, thanks so much for doing this. A real contribution. As an associate editor on the project, I don’t recall an index having been created? Who did the index?

    Stay well.

      Ted,

      You’re welcome. I couldn’t find the information readily available except at soldierquest.org. That site looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2005, and apparently its fairly easy for its bandwidth to be exceeded, so I put it up here to give it a more permanent and accessible home. I wasn’t sure if that index would stay up or disappear suddenly.

    Do you know which volume covers Confederate regular army cavalry?
