The first report issued from the Adjutant General's office was dated January 1, 1871, while Gen. John R. Patrick held that office. It contained both a sketch of the operations of the forces in the field during the rebellion, and a roster of all who entered the United States service during that period from Nebraska. The edition is exhausted, and we have secured a copy of the now rare work, from which we produce the roster verbatim, besides much of the descriptive matter. This feature is one of the most valuable of the history, and will continue to become more highly prized as the years roll by. Gen. Patrick, in his preface, said: "At the time of my entering upon the discharge of the duties of Adjutant General, I found very incomplete records, and all papers pertaining to the office in a terrible condition. I have tried my utmost to complete and perfect the rolls and records, and I can only express regret at not being more successful. As it is now, the records of the office are not by any means complete, and probably they will ever so remain, for the reason that, prior to the recent act of the Legislature creating the office, there had been no one whose duty it was to look after the records and properly file them so as to preserve them for future use."

In the record several privates are reported as "deserters," but the truth is that many such left the army after honorable service on the plains without the formality of discharge, but after need of their service ceased. Congressional action has been proposed to relieve such men of the apparent, though technical, dishonor:
