(Vol. 5 in the Series.) 153 pages. The original work to which this volume is an index is a difficult-to-use register of over 14,000 California volunteers who fought in the Civil War from 1861-67. Orton’s register is arranged according to rank and/or company, rather than alphabetically by surname. This arrangement makes Parker’s index essential for genealogists and historians interested in consulting the original register. In the introduction to his index, Parker indicates how to use the information contained in Orton’s register to obtain the more detailed Compiled Service Records (both military and pension) for any individual listed. (Orton’s 887-page Records is available from Gale in a reprint edition priced at $45.00.)
