A.R. Hetzel, assistant quartermaster, and brought up to the close of the 1st session of the 29th Congress."
The first and second editions of the Military laws of the United States were compiled by Col. Trueman Cross and issued by the War Dept. in 1825 and 1838. Templeman's third edition, issued by the War Dept. under the supervision of A.R. Hetzel, was published in Washington, D.C., in 1846.
