content: The station book, 1865–1866, lists the name of an officer or civilian on duty in the Bureau, his station, the positions held, the date and order assigning him to duty, and the date and order relieving him from duty. The volume is arranged alphabetically by initial letter of the surname of the officer or civilian. The number of pages allotted to each alphabetical division in the station book sometimes proved insufficient, and the entries for a particular alphabetical division were continued elsewhere in the volume. The National Archives has filmed the station book in corrected order so that the pages are no longer necessarily in numerical sequence.
