Generals and Lieutenant Generals of the U. S. Army

George Washington held the rank of General and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army from June 15, 1775, to Dec. 23, 1783. He was appointed lieutenant general and Commander-inChief of the United States Army on July 3, 1798. The office of "general" under the present form of Government was first established by section 9, of the act approved March 3, 1799, while Washington was holding the office of commander with rank of lieutenant general, and which provided that a commander of the Army of the United

States shall be appointed and commissioned by the style of 'general of the armies of the United States: and the present office and title of lieutenant general shall thereafter be abolished."

While the purpose of this legislation was undoubtedly to confer the title of general upon Washington, no record has been found in this office to show that the appointment was ever made. The following-named officers served in the United States Army in the grades of general and lieutenant general, respectively, during the time specifiled after each name:
