Germany immigration authority, Clifford Neal Smith spent a number of years ferreting out surrogate passenger information from the periodical literature. In one instance, Mr. Smith transcribed the genealogical contents, published between 1869 and 1877, of Volumes 1 through 9 of Der Deutsche Pioniere, a monthly magazine issued by the Deutsche Pioniereverein (Union of German Pioneers) founded in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"All the members of the Long Grey Line that stretches through the years from 1802 have the cadet gray uniform in common, but individual classes develop different personalities shaped by experiences and times through which they pass. Each Academy class is different from every other ... Much of what follows is derived from interviews with the men of '62. Their contributions are typical of those made by other West Point classes.
