STRAIT WASHINGTON, D. C: 1909. ^'i'^ PREFACE. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions, Washingtoji, 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, 1 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 iinished and, although it may have 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. Veiy respectfully, N. A. Strait. Hon. H. Clay Evans, i Com m iss loner of Pensions. \ Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions, \ Washington., Septeniher IS, 1900. Dear Sir: I have to acknowledge and thank you for your g-enerous 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. 1 6968—00 1 2 PEEFACE. 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, Co7mniss iojier. Dr. N. A. Strait, Washington^ D. C. / / CAUSES OF THE PvEBELLIOl^. 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 ])y the Missouri Compromise of 1820, but when Kansas and Nebraska were established as Territories the compromise Avas 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 slaverv 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, Februarj^ 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 b}' the Con- federate })atteries in Charleston Harbor January 9, 1861, and closed, practicallv, with Lee's surrender, April 9, 1865. 3 ALPHABETICAL LIST BATTLES OF THE WAR OF THE REBELLION.

AUTHORITY FOR INCREASE AND REORGANIZATION OF THE REGULAR AND VOLUNTEER MILITARY FORCES. [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 LTnited 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 al)le 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 laat two regiments to be colored).
