Revised United States Army Regulations

1863 Wartime Edition with Annotated Insert

 

1863 wartime printing of Revised United States Army Regulations of 1861, issued with an appendix containing changes and laws affecting Army Regulations and Articles of War through June 25, 1863. Published in Washington by the Government Printing Office, this volume reflects the evolving structure and administration of the Union Army at the height of the Civil War.

 

The book retains its original blue cloth binding with gilt-stamped spine reading Revised U.S. Army Regulations, 1863, complete with the Federal eagle emblem. Expected period wear is present, including edge fraying and light surface losses, consistent with age and use.

 

Of particular interest is a loose, period document inserted within the volume, consisting of a printed page detailing the official organization of infantry, cavalry, and artillery units, including officers, non-commissioned officers, specialists, and enlisted men. This page features extensive period handwritten annotations in red ink, recording numerical adjustments and notes to ranks and unit strength—suggesting active reference, study, or field use during the war.

 

Such annotated inserts are uncommon and highly desirable, as they offer a tangible glimpse into how regulations were interpreted, amended, or tracked in real time by those engaged in military service.
