Phisterer (1883) chronological list of engagements
A list of events on p. 83–212. Phisterer’s introduction to the chronological record is:
Under the orders of the Surgeon-General of the Army, a work of the greatest importance was undertaken and completed by that Department, viz., ‘. The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion,” and great credit is due for the magnificent and instructive work to Surgeons-General Wm. A. Hammond and J. K. Barnes, U. S. Army; Surgeon J. H. Brinton, U. S. Volunteers; Assistant-Surgeons (then) J. J. Woodward and George A. Otis, U. S. Army, who were directly connected with the work, as well as the members of the Medical Department, regulars and volunteers, generally.
In this work there is a chronological record of engagements, etc., compiled by the Chief Clerk of the Surgical Division. Mr. Frederick R. Sparks, from official sources where practicable, from Confederate reports, and from Union and Confederate newspapers in other cases, where the statement was not obviously false. As full as the record is, it is not complete. In preparing it for publication here, several minor engagements were added, and others may find omissions as well; nevertheless, this is the complete record in existence at present.
