Thayer's Notes:

a For more bibliography, see Waugh, p245 f.

b Augusta Blanche Berard was the daughter of long-time French professor at the Academy, Claudius Berard.

c More correctly, Cullum's Register; the name is an informal one, the proper title being Biographical Register of the Officers and Graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, since its establishment in 1802. Why Vol. I is singled out here is not to be fathomed; Volumes I thru III were published together in 1892, and together form the complete work by Gen. Cullum, divided as follows purely for convenience: Vol. I: graduates 1‑1000; Vol. II: graduates 1001‑2000; Vol. III: graduates 2001‑3384.

Be that as it may, Volumes I and II are onsite in their entirety, as is a good chunk of Volume III: see the orientation page.
