One of the things about the war that interests me for whatever reason is studying the seniority of the various generals. I'm guessing it has something to do with me being a habitual list-maker and lover of organization, but I digress. Our own @GELongstreet compiled a list of the Union and Confederate major generals by seniority, forever earning my (and possibly several others') gratitude. My question is if anyone has any resources on the Union and Confederate brigadier generals. Only part of Charles C. Jones' book for the Confederates is on Wikisource, and I found the General Orders of the War Department on Internet Archive for the Union, but there's no index. Does anyone have a complete list?
 
From Civil War High Commands; their compilation work and not mine. Doesn´t include brevets etc. and please excuse the split format.

Of note is that all Brigadier Generals appointed in the Regular Army are senior to those of the Volunteers, regardless of the dates of rank. Also seniority is the designated date of rank which can be very distant from the date on which they were actually promoted.

Again from Civil War High Commands. Essentially the same as before in all aspects, again no militia or acting generals included.

@GELongstreet, I noticed Samuel Garland doesn't appear in the above register (or at least, I can't find him where he's supposed to be - 23 May 1862), Robert H. Hatton is also missing. There may be other oversights, these is just the only one I've seen.
