), in the references section, lists the generals' grade, rank date, appointment date, and confirmation date. The other seven references have short summaries of each general's life and service. (Allardice is only a reference for the entries in the additional section currently at the end of the article.) A few of the sources do not list every general. Some sources may have information that others do not. All the information in this list is from these references, with the information in the notes prior to the additional section after the letter "Z" from one or more of the six principal references. The summaries in the references are in alphabetical order. Since the information in this article is from a limited number of sources, all of which are in alphabetical order, notes are omitted since the information is easily found on consecutive pages in one or more of the referenced books. A full listing would require hundreds, if not thousands, of notes and citations, which would be a large use of space for little real return. The first use of each reference, other than U.S. War Department {Wright}, is noted, mostly in connection with the first name in the list.

The abbreviation "USMA" refers to the United States Military Academy

 at West Point, New York and the year following the abbreviation is the year the general graduated from West Point. Similarly, the abbreviation "VMI" refers to the Virginia Military Institute

 at Lexington, Virginia. If no year follows the college name, the source gives no year and presumably the general left school before graduating. The abbreviations for the dates of ranks or grades are "rank" for the date the promotion was to rank from, "nom" from the date the officer was nominated for the office by President Jefferson Davis, and "conf" which is the date the promotion was confirmed by the Confederate Senate. The general is buried at his place of death unless otherwise noted.

The notes now are reasonably complete as far as the original editor is concerned. The plan now is to review the entire article for consistency and possible additional edits, as well as a format change now shown in the "A", "B", "V", "W", "Y" and "Z" sections. Full sentences are not used in the notes in order to conserve space in a long article and because full articles have been written for most of the generals and are planned for the others.

Others

The following officers are not generally considered full-grade Confederate Generals. However, due to increasing communication difficulties and increasing officer casualties in the Confederate Army as the war progressed, historian Bruce Allardice identified an additional 137 officers as arguably worthy of consideration as Confederate generals because of appointment of some sort by President Davis or a general in command in the field and exercise of command for at least some period of time. Many of the officers identified by Allardice, and others who take an expansive view of general appointments, are militia officers who were never mustered into national service, nor did they serve as generals in any campaign. However, the following selected personnel are notable for a variety of reasons. Several of them were assigned to duty as Generals by General Edmund Kirby Smith
