SB,845pp .2001 N&MP Reprint of 1927 Original Edition, B&W plates of medalsPublished Price £28 American Decorations (1862-1926) is an official United States government reference work compiled by the Office of The Adjutant General and published by the Government Printing Office in 1927 under the authority of the Secretary of War. Produced as an official record of military honours, the volume documents decorations awarded by the United States during a period encompassing the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the First World War, and the years immediately following it.The publication records recipients of three major U.S. military decorations: the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished-Service Cross, and the Distinguished-Service Medal. Its chronological scope extends from 1862 through 1926, beginning with the earliest period associated with the Medal of Honor and continuing through the extensive recognition of military service arising from the First World War.Of particular historical significance is the volume's substantial coverage of World War I decorations. The entries preserve official contemporary records of acts of gallantry, distinguished service, and other forms of military achievement, providing an important documentary record of how the United States formally recognized wartime service during and after the conflict.The publication is also notable for the breadth of its recipients. Although the majority were American service personnel, the volume also records members of Allied foreign forces who received U.S. military decorations. Their inclusion reflects the international character of the First World War and the close military cooperation that existed between the United States and its Allied partners.Individual entries generally contain a combination of biographical and administrative information. Depending on the award and recipient, records may include the individual's full name, military rank, birthplace, residence at the time of entry into service, general order number, and the official citation or reason for the decoration. Such information can be particularly valuable when attempting to identify individuals, establish their military service, or reconstruct the circumstances surrounding a specific award.From an archival perspective, American Decorations (1862-1926) is more than a simple catalogue of military honours. As an official government publication produced relatively close to the events it records, it constitutes an important primary source for the study of American military history and the history of military decorations. Its entries provide a direct connection between individual service members and the official records through which their actions were recognized.For historians, genealogists, military researchers, and those investigating individual acts of service or gallantry, the volume can therefore provide an important starting point for further research. The combination of personal information, military details, official orders, and award citations makes it possible to place individual recipients within the wider historical and military context of the period.The work is particularly valuable when used alongside other contemporary sources, such as military service records, general orders, unit histories, wartime correspondence, newspapers, and official personnel files. In this context, American Decorations (1862-1926) can serve both as a source of biographical information and as a means of directing researchers toward the official documentation associated with a particular decoration or recipient.…
