My dear General Dodge, It was most kind of you to send me the reply from General Henderson, about Fred's letter, which I greatly appreciated. I suppose it would injure Fred and the democrats would attack him, if his letter were read in the autumn Campaign, complimentary to Fred as it would be? Don't you think so? Of course, I know your opinion on such subjects is far above mine? I am here with my sister, Mrs. Palmer, who tiiegraphed for me to come at one^, on the terribly sudden shock she had, in the death of Mr. Palmer. It is quite beautiful all that is said of him and the tributes from his fellow citizens, who held him in such high esteem. I think you knew him well, and also my dear sister and are a friend of hers. I regretted extremely, not to see you at your grand-daughters wedding, where I just missed you, going through the rooms lookigg Cor you, assisted by ^Irs. '''Montgomery and her son, but you had just left I had a beatitiful note from the happy young bride a few dajrs ago. I venture to send you the enclosed article by Mr. Carpenter which I hope you will be interested in reading. Mr. Carpenter sent me several copies of it, with a letter, praising most enthusiastically to me, my husband and his work and all he had accomplished, etc. and he, Mr. CarpettBr s41d, he considered "Genl. Grant's work the most able efficient and interesting of all done by the Military officers, and that no one was so respected and liked by the natives" etc., and he added, "I believe that his work is not as much talked of and Icnown in the press at home, because of the jealousy of Genl. Grant". I must get you to read 'r. Carpenter's letter sometime, when it is at hand. With many heartfelt thanks for your kind interest and help for Fred, believe me, my dear General, Very sincerely, Ida H. Grant. My unexpected, and hurried trip to Chicago prevented my thanking you earlier for sending Genl. Henderson s letter so kindly. Yours sincerely, Ida H. Grant. n11307 about 1902. or earlier. (First part of letter missing.) letter was read by you as all seemed highly pleased with it and approving'. Gov. Taft spoke in such praise and was so complimentary of Fred to me that I hope he will mention him to the President that is I wish he would; and I trust Gov. Taft will see Fred's letter to you? He returned to Washington, ^ay 1st to see Sec. f^oot. If you do send Fred's letter for Speaker Henderson to see, as you say, do you think he would speak of its tenor or read it to the President? I feel it wou.ld be highly ap.proved. Hoping to see you at Miss Montgomery's wedding and with ii.any repeated thanks believe me, dear General, Yours sincerely, Ida H. Grant. P. S. My dear General,Mrs. Grant is sending to your granddaughter a pretty gift and has had engraved on it - "For the Granddaughter of Genl. Grenville Dodge, from the V/idow of General U. ■->. Grant," as she thinks that will make her remembrance more interesting'. I am taking her gift and my little offering over with me to the happy bride. I shall 8 wives of officers dine with me on the 26th, and ihave asked Mrs. Taft, but have not heard from her. I go to the Waldorf Saturday by 3 o'clock P.M. '' ith many thanks , Yours Sincerely, Ida Grant. ■ --3B New York City, Jan. 2, 1902 Horace G. Burt, Esq., . President, Union Paciric Railroad, Omaha, Neb. ^■y dear Sir: I am in receipt of yourts enclosing pass lor myself car and party, also for myself individually, over the Union Pacific, for which please accept my thanks. I notice in your returns fro the month of November, that the increase in your net earnings almost equals the in crease in your gross, and, no doubt, you are receiving the benefit of the changes that have been made upon the road, which I understand are now nearly completed. Have you ever contemplated taking down that grade at the head of Echo with a long tunnel, which was our original plan, but which we could not carry out because the Government refused to accept any work of a temporary nature,- that is they would pay us only for continuous completed work, and it would have taken us two years or more in those times to com plete the tunnel. I am not sure, but it seems to me it re duced the grade therJf^^about 60 feet, but it may have been to fifty feet. Then that only left a heavy grade' at the mouth of Weber, which is a difficult on e to handle. Thanking you for the numerous courtesies the road has extended to myself and family, and wishing you a happy new year, I am. Truly and cordially yours, Grenville M. Dodge. January 6th, 1902, Cleveland, Ohio.January 6, 1902, ?.!y dear General: Would it he asking too much of you, to give me in your own words the "story" of Mother Bickendyke finding you woulded in the hox car, on your way to Nashville, or would you rather I would try to remember it as I heard you tell it at Indianapolis? I am afraid I aannot remember all the particulars, and I would love to have your personal experience appear in the "Memorial" in our report to the Society of the Army of tae Tennessee. If you find it asking too much of you I will do the best I can but it would be so much better coming from headquarters. Respe ctfully, I am( one?) "Vice President" Mrs. O.K.Smith, 121 Cedar Ave. Cleveland,©. New York City, January 6, 1902 Louis Blickensderfer, Esq., 4640 Farnam Street, Omaha, Ngb. Dear Sir: Yoursto your brother he forwards to me. I would be pleased to have you send me Lhe contents of the different volunes ofrpamphlets relating to the Union Pacific that your father had, if not too much troulbe. He sent me two of these books once which I returned to him. The title of one of the publications is "Report of Proceedings and Organization of the Union Pacific R. R., J. A. Dix, April 2, 1864." In this, are proceedings of the directors, report of T. C. Durant Oct. 30, 1863, Appendix Report of Peter A. Dey, Dec. 16, '63, Breaking Ground at Omaha December, 1863, Appendix B.

Of course I would expect to return same if desired I was in hopes to obtain the volume containing the documents I want to file with my own volumes, as the itenis I name as being in the first volume are missing fromi my records. Very truiy yours, G. M. Dodge. *64. New York City, January 6, 1902 Captain Edgar T. Ensign, Commander, Colorado Commandery, Loyal Legion, Colorado Springs, Colo. My dear Comrade: I have received yours of January 3rd, and appreciate very much your kind invitation to be present at your annual meeting on February 12th in Denber, a d deliver an address upon the theme "Lincoln," and it would give me great pleasure to attend and comply with your request, if my engagements were such as to admit of my doing so. I doubt whether it would be prudent for me to travel to Colorado at this season of the year, but I have already made arrangements to spend most of the winter in Cuba,and will leave here aoout the middle of January, hence it would be impossible for me to be present with you. It would give me great pleasure to meet the Colorado Cbmmahdery, so many of whom I know personally, and it would be a still greater pleasure to comply with your request onaccount of my old associ ation and comradeship with you. I know your meeting will be an interesting one, and the subject is one which will certinly add great interest to the occasion. Truly and cordially yours. Grenville U. Dodge. New York City, January 8, 1902 Captain R. E. Palnier, 11th Kansas Cavalry," Omaha, Neb. My dear Captain: • ■ • I received yours enclosing proof of the paper on the "Powder River Indian Expedition," and have read it with a great deal of interest, and thank you very much for sending it to m.e. Your d escription of the batlle on Tongue River is different from what I had been led to believe it was. I thought Conner surrounded the Indians there. I knew he captured about 11 jO ponies, and understand' that in the surround he made he' would have captured them all if it had not been for the Indians stopp ing to loot the cari:p. I have comniunications from some, of the officers present.at the time, and they gave me that impression. I was also told that to punish these Inaians that instead of lett ing them retain their loot, he took it away from them and burned i t up. I read also your account of Captain Stewart's and the Montana men's trip across that country, whenthey were attacked by the Crows. What year was i.his and what pul.)lication contains a full statement of this. Your extract, I understand, is Hauser's statement of the trip. Thank^5'©u again for your courtesy in sending me the proof, I.am, Ver'y truly yours, Grenville M. Dodge. January, 1902. United States Engineer Office, :ioux City,Iowa, January 9, 1902. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, No . 1 Broadway, New York, N. Y. My dear Sir: In your letter of December 4th you spoke about writing to several Council Bluffs, Parites whon. you thought probably r-etained some recollection of the Lincoln visit to that city. Incase you have done so and have received any satisfactory replies, I should esteem it a great favor to hear what they have to say.. Very truly yours. H. M. Chittenden. ■ '■ Vf •' , A r, ^ New York City, January 9, 1902. Sir William C. Van Home, Montreal, Canada. Ky dear Sir: I have received yours of 8th of January. I think I know of a man who would fit the case, Mr. James R. Maxwell, who was an assistant engineer for me on the Union Pacific. He must be nearly sixty years of age. He has done a great deal of work in South America. He was in charge of making the surveys for one of the lines for the Nicaragua Canal. Just returned. He is a very able engineer, but not a very quick one, butthere is no one better able to keep things checked up than he is, and he can tell whether matters are being run as they sould be. He is absolutely honest, and could be trusted ith anything. If you desire, I can have him here to see you when you come on Monday, if you will wire me. He is in Delaware, and I do not htink is doing anythin at present, although he is always ready to take hold of anything. He is the only person I know of who is within re:ch. Another thing about Maxwell is that nobody can fool him, for he knows all about his profession, and has been in it from the time he was a boy until now, and on some of the most important works in the country. • I will be ready to go with you. I n;ay go to Washington one or two days before you do, but will go on from there with youi Very truly yours, G. M. Dodge. it , Ne'A York City January 10, 1902 Rev. A. P. Putnam, Salem, Mass. My dear Mr. Putnam: I received yours of January 8th, and note what yousay about writing up thw atory of Putnamville, and am very glad to know that you are engaged in this work. I find since I have heard you and seen the record of many of the noted men that came from that part of Danvers whom I knew nothing about when I was a young boy, how little I knew of my surroundings, and how much they had to do with the future of our country. It is a great thing to have someone take interest enough in these matters to make^'a recordfor the future as you are doing. I shall read it with great pleasure and interest, and am willing, to do whatever I can to aid y u in the matter, and will have photograph sent to you. I think you have Mr. Granger's private beography of myself, which takes me up to 1870. I do not know what ti:ere is since then that is in print, unless it be public positions I have held, and my work in railroads. I enclose you some slips that may interest you. I have been West to my old home, and happened to be there when Kinsman's body was brought there, and was very much pleased with the attention that they gave to his memory. Truly and cordially yours, j G. M. Dodge. Rev; Yor'ri City, January 10, 1902 My dear Mrs. Smith: -• I enclose you a clipping in relation to Mother Bickerdyke, which n;ay be, of use to you, and which please return after you have examined. I first became acquainted with Mother Bickerdyke at Corinth, where I commanded, and where she often appealed to me for aid, and to help her along in her work, and I soon discovered that she was a remarkable woman, and doing a splen did work. Although she often had great opposition, I never saw anyone that could handle her, or defeait her in her purposes. She accompanied us when we moved East in the Chattanooga Campaign, and w. s with us all the way to Atlanta. I often had occasion to respond to come call from her, and she became a very warm friend of mine. I think when she became worried and could not get anybody else to do anything for her, she appealed to me, knowing that I would respond if possible. If my re collection is correct, she remained with us up to the time we established our hospitals at i/iarietta. There she stopped, but I know she was once at the front at Atlanta,- I think soon after the battle of the 22nd, because I think I remember her coming to rriy headquarters there. I was v.oulded at Atlanta on the 19th of August and was there until General Sherman made his arrangement for swinging to the south. He kept me, thinking I would recover from my would sufficiently to assume my comimand, but that was impossible. The sick wounded soldiers then around Atlanta were sent North in t^ins of box cars. My wound being in my head, they had to swing my cot up from the roof of a box car, and sick soldiers were laid on matresses on the floor of the car; I remember the car was filled with them. They could not send attendants in every car, but had attendants in Lhe train. When we reached Mar ietta we were halted there, and I heard Miother Bickerdyke outside inquiring for me. She was shown the car I was in,, and came to it, but it was impossible for her to get in the car, as it stood on a bank and there was no way for her to get up into the car. She made a couple of soldiers who stood by lift her into the car. My eyes were shut so I could not see, but I remember she bathed my face and fed me, and put some dainties on the cot I was swinging in. I remen.ber one was a bottle of milk. At the same ime she also attended to such of the boys in the car as needed attention. Most of them were soldiers who were convalescing, and could help themselves, because some of them curing thetrip would get up to see how I was getting on. After leaving my car I heard her going along to other cars, making inquiries. She had with her one or two assistants who were caring for the dainties which she was feeding to the soldiers. I was not taken out of the car from the time I left Atlanta until I reached Nashville. 'A'e went along slowly, not over eight or ten miles an hour, and it was a long, tedious trip. ,Ve were fed and attended to at Chattanooga and other points along the line. Mother Biokerdyke, wherever she was, was a captain; she coniip.anded everybody and everything about her. She often met great opposition, sometimes from officers and sometimes from the surgeons, but she never would give up, and so far as I know never failed in her purposes. She became beloved by all the soldiers in the army with whom she came incontact, and , as General Sherman finally admitted, she was often a biggt r mian than he. It has been a great satisfaction to me to see upon her death what universal praise of her has come forth from all parts of the Western country, and the Western armies, who knew her so well.

Hoping that you are in good health and trusting that you will be able to be with us, I am, with personal regard. Very respectfully, N. L. Sheldon, Pres. N. U. A. A, if * a". Feb. 1902 Batangas, Batangas Prov. P.I. Feb. 23, 1902 Major General Grenville M. Dodge, No.l Broadway, New York City My Dear General I have your nice long letter of December 31st and have enjoyed reading it very much indeed. Many clippings which you sent are very interesting, and it always does a soldier good to hear that another soldier has been buried among his kindred and in his home. It has just occured to me that you and I are both taking a very lively part in . finding and recovering lost bodies. I think we had better form a partnership to be knownas "Dodge, Horton & Company" with the announcement that the finding of lost bodies of distinguished soldiers and foreigners a specialty. All joking aside, the articles are most interesting and I am particularly glad to note the tone of affection of the citizens and soldiers of Iowa for you, as manifested in these articles. It has been so long feince I have seen a real gobd' TUlitary parade I hope we can get up one when I get back to the States. Getting back to the States bring.s me to a very important point. The last of January I wrote General Humphrey, our Chief Quartermaster here, a personal letter asking him to have me in mind for an early return to the States- first, and most important, because of my mother's very poor health, and second", but of second consideration, because I had been out here longer than any other •Quartermaster and was next entitled to go. I was very much surprised to receive a telegram from him a few days later, saying he would arrange with the War Department to send me back in charge of the Transport "CROCK" and have the Quartermaster of the "CROOK" come down and take my place. The "CROO":" is to sail about the first of March. Two campaigns are going on-now in our Brigade on the Island of Luzon alone to say nothing of the active service on the Island of Mindoro which is also in our Brigade. * After consulting with General Bell and with Colonel Wells of the 1st Cavalry, our Post Commander, and other officers here, I decided to remain liere until the close of active field operations in this Brigade which we all believe will not be later than April 15th. General Bell ' has consented at that time to accept any Quartermaster in my place. This action on the part of General Boll and the officers is very compli mentary to me, and I feel it to my interest in every way to remain a couple of months longer. We have eleven thousand troops in our Brigade in active service There are forty-five Disbursing Quartermasters and we have to work here in my office night and day, every day, in order to keep things going it has been a great experience for me and I fully appreciate it This means that I will probably be home the last of May for sure as mv rellaf hnnu back to the Btates arranged I desire from ,first, Manila to go by General to Washington Humphrey. and attnnri When I get •some matters at home and also to have a visit with mother. I then want to arrange for my future station, and, as you know, am anxious thatthis sptlon stall be Ke» York City or Governors Island: The maUer ofmy station can be arranged for after ray return to the States, unless they want to side-track me before I get home which I do not believe is the case, so I look forward with great pleasure to seeing all of you in May or June and having a visit with mutual friends on Long Island. I shall telegraph my mother the boat I am coming back on, and have already written her to send word to you telling you the name of the boat ^ am returning;on and the day I leave here. I am exceedingly glad to note that your health is so good and sincerely hope and trust that your good health will continue. I hope your visit to Cuba will prove interesting and satisfactory. I hope some time to again visit Santiago and Havana. iffairs here in the Philippines are in a very interesting state. The Military authorities are bringing in rice for the natives in the towns so that there will be no occasion for anyone being hungry. The men in the towns brought in by Military order, are given work to do for the Military Covernment and are paid enough so that they can buy rice and provisions for their family.

First, let me congratulate you and also the Army of the Tennessee in the result of their election. I am stationed in Southern Luzon and have a fine command in a beautiful and rich country inhabited by about 700,000 people and comprising an area of great size. I have many islands, one Masbate, about the size of Porto Rico and two Catauduanes and Pollillo, each about the size of half of Porto Rico; besides these islands, I have the soti.thern portion of the great island of Luzon. I am sandwiched in between the island of Samr and the Province of Batanges when the insurgents still hold out and of course, have had quite alively time air both ends of my command. Fortunately I have had fine officers and soldiers and they have sue ceded in defeating every band of insurgents or ladrones that have appeared within ray territory and we have now got a civil government running smoothly which is getting better every day and one that is winning the confidence of the natives. The natives tell me that they are better protected than they have ever been before; that fewer ladrones bother them than did in the most peaceful times of the Spaniards and that justice is better administered. While people can go anywhere in my command with as little danger as anywhere in New York or Pennsylvania. I feel quite proud of the conditions here and can assure you that the American policy is a perfect success in my command. There is no friction within the limits of the 4th separate Brigade between the Military and civil authorities as they ew>e all work together in every department in the greatest harmony. My territory is very nice bi;t needs developing. There is gold, quicksilver, coal and copal in quantities also sulphur. There are many kinds of fine waters and the country is, for a tropical climate, very healthy, so that all these things can be developed. We have great forests and magnificent mountains, probably the two most noble peaks in the world, Isarog and Mayon, both volcanoes one (Mayonl active. Both run up from the sea and pierce the clouds 9000 ft. above. They are bold and grand beyond description. The valleys are wide and rich. Rice grows in great abundance and the foot hills are covered with hemp which grows wild. The lower ranges of mountains are covered with forest of hard woods which can be brought out and marketed with little improvment in transportation lines. The natives here have the basis of a great future and the Americans will have the trade of a well-to-do peo pie. If the natives do not undertake the development of this country then Americans will, so that in either case the United States will be the gainer by taking upon itself this much of the "White-man's burden". I am quite an enthusiast! about the Philippines and base my beliefs upon the conduct of the native people and the success of the American policy in all the territory over which I have commanded both in the north and here in the south. I wish you could come out here and make me a visit. We would take a ride through beattlful Camarines and Albay.

In the* Mexican War ^ ts President, T'n':.raan B. Ransom," and" most of the cadets entered the serv'ce of the United Staterrs. Ransom was Colonel of tie New England regiment, and fell in the assault upon Guapultapec. In the civil war ninety per cent of its I'vinn cadets entered the service, mostly as officers, on one side or the other, and, as the history of the Universl'ty shows, mapy of theia rose to the highest rank and ll'-hest commands in the serv'ce. The Un'vers^ty received the commendations of General Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, Thomas and others, and Norwich University cadets were always selected neut to those from West Point, for important and d-'fficult comma ds. There are present here tonight those who were cadets during the civil war whose whole class enlisted. In fact tie whole University turned out, susp^^nding the function of the institut'on for two years. In the Span''sh~'"ar it is said that eighty five per cent of its I'vip- cadets volunteered for service, and .vere distinguished on m.any fields. Many of them, are still ^n tlie service. It was equally as well represented in our navy In both wars. It was one of its cadets that struck tl.e first effecitve blow in the Spanis}. War, and another cadet. Commander Colvocorresses, who commanded one of the vessels, after the naval battle at Manila went alongside the Olympia to pay his respects and congratulate Admiral Dewey upon his great victory. Admiral Dewey, who saw Colvocoresses as he came alongside in b.is launch, leaned over the rail and said, "Col., old N.U. is al.ead yet.", showing no matter what his after life or education had been, he rave tj e credit i'or his success to his alma mater. In c~*vil life, its cadets have -reatly distinguished them selves as engineers, and in other professional I'nes. Probably I can say that there is no one who has had as many of the cadets of Nonv^ch Un^vers''ty under h'm as I have, both In the o'^v^l war, and later n the 'ntemal mproyements of the country, and to my knov;ledge there has been no fa''lure amons theva.

Niy dear Rhet: I reti-irned today from a two months trip in the island of Cuba, goinr thoroughly through its whole length from Havana to San tiago, keeping away most of the time from the cities and towns, in order to thoroughly see the country. I knew nothing about Cuba, and our people know nothing about it. It has a wonderful future, and in time, in rny opinion, it will be the greatest field for the small farmer I ever saw, and if our country treats it as it should, it will be one of the greatest markets for our products and mianufactures. in the world. whether Congress can rise to the occasion is questionable, but the occasion will iorce theni to do it before long. What I wr'ite you for n.ore especialJy is to induce you to go to Cuba immediately. I learned while there visiting Col. and Nrs. Alexander that you are just recovering fron another attack of pneum;onia, and I want to say to you the t the climate there is simply perfect. In the entire two months I was there I never' had an uncomifortabel day. Col. and hrs . Alexander have a splendid place at the Arsenal in Havana, and she is very anxious you should go there, and I ani more anxious, rs I know itwiil put you on your feet at once. The best way is to take the V.'arn Line steaiier on Saturday and go right down there . You can get well in half the time you can here, and have an opx^ortunity to see a new country, and it will be an eyeopener. 7'hile I was travelling through the island away from ruail and everything else, 1 had the Register forwarded .to iie, and I read in those Cuban shacks (which are the most comfor'table prin.itive forni Df houses I ever stayed in) three of your Sunday sketches, and was greatly interested in them, and thank you for taking it up, for I know of no man who can handle that question and tell us about early Iowa as well as y(;u can. I have just arr'ived, and would go right up to see you, but write this letter uefore going anywhere, and in a day or two will endeavor to see you. llease renember me to thefamiily, ar.dbelieve nie, Very truly yours.

My dear Green: Yours of Mai'ch 4th was on iLydesk when i returned from Cuba, where have been spending two months travelling throu)_h the interior of tP.e island. I was greatly astonished to see what a find Cuba is, and what a future there is in it for our people. Our Congress evidently does not understand the question, or they would not hesitate an instant to give it all the aid it needs, in fact, do everything to develop that island, for it is therlchest country and finest clirrate 1 ever saw, and is capable of maintaining an im mense population, and that population would take from.us much of our products and all the nanufactured goods they could use. V.'hen they have money they are great travellers and consum.ers. Cur line of road we ar-e building from Santa Clara to Santiago will be closed in a couple of months and our construction work will be done . When it coii.es to operating a road then people who speak Spanish are re quired,- in fact, we have had to use Cuban labor almost entirely, and all of our Superintendents have haci to speak Spanish. 'Whether we will do anything there in the near future in the way of building I do not know, but I would be glad to do anything i can for your brother, and will speak to Sir '.Mlliam about him, and advise you if there is any opportunity, but unless he speaks Spanish I do not think there will be any in that country. There may be some construct ion in Colorado, and if there is I will bear him in mind in that matter. 1 will not be connected with it myself, but know the parties who I think will be. I trust that you are well, and am always glad to do any thing I can for you. 'iruly and cordially yours, G . M . Dodg e -a C ' March, 1902. New York City, March 13, 1902 E . J. Abbott, Esq., Dear Sir; Council Bluffs, Iowa. I enclose you several letters and two checks sent to me by different members of the 4th and 23rd Iowa. Most of these letters I have answered personally, but send them to you so you may have the names of the parties, and send them circulars whenever you make your arrangenients. As the 17th comes on Saturday if the meetings are held on more than one day you will have to hold them on the 16th and 17th. You must decied there whether you are to have li.ore than the men.bers of the 4th and 23d Iowa and devote one day to the unveiling of the mionument. As the Gre.nd Army meets on the 20th, 21st and 22nd in Des Woines probably you could not get much of a crowd outside the members whoare personally interested in the monument, and I think it would be best to confine it to the 17th, with such cerem.onies as are thought best. I intend to be there, and shall goihom the Bluffs to the National Encampnient at Des Moines. Will Abe Lincoln Post go, or only a part of it? Yours truly, ^ G . M . Dodge Njarch, 1902. New York City, ^.arch 13, 1902. Gapt. H. M. Chittenden, Sioux City, Iowa. Dear Captain: Yours oi' Feb. 13th has laid on my table until my return from Cuba this week. The Chicago 5: Northwestern Ky. which was known at the tinie as Third Division oi' the Cedar Eapids &• Missouri River Railroad froni Des Moines River to Omaha, was accepted and opened for business on the 1st of Feb. 18C7. The length of this division was 145.77 miles, and became with the through connecting lines the through line to Chicago, and now known as the Chicago & Northwestern Railway. John I. Blair of Blairstown, N. J. built this under a comipany known as the Iowa Railway Contracting Co., of which he was President. This contraoting com.pany afterwards con structed the Onaw^ Branch from Mj^ssouri Valley to a connection with the Sioux City & Pacific R. R., which was 6.3/4 miles long, and gave a through line to Sioux City fron. Council Bluffs, andalso gave a second connection with the Union Pacific at 1-remont, Neb. I located the line from Council Bluffs, East. I was chief engineer of the Union Pacific Company, and in order to get .the road into Council Bluffs as so..n as possible, I rendered aid, and not only did the locating but put on construction force for Blair to help him along. I have been psending two months in Cuba, travelling over its entire length, especially through the interior. '^e are building a railroad from Santa Clara to Santiago that will develop the eastern portion of the island, which is by far the richest. Isupijose it will surprise you to know that i travelled from Santa Clara to Santiago in a carx iage, and m.ade the trip irom Havana to Santiago ijOO miles by rail and 400 by carriage, said to be the first trip of the kind ever made. You know the reads in the in terior east of Santa Clara are sin ply mule trails. There is a great future in that island for our country. I knew little of Cuba, and no one can except he goes into the interior. It is as tonishing to me .to see our country hesitate about giving it all the aid it needs, for it will be returned to us tenfold in the future. As that country develops it will use a great deal of our product, and will be supplied from us with all the manufactured goods it uses. Very truly yours, G . M . Dodge . Iv'arch, 1902. New York City, ^iarch 15, 1902 I/:y dear Mr. Secretary: '.Vile ox. I enclose you copy of a letter I sent to Park Comu,issioner It appears that at the hearing before the Roard yesterday the Sub-comii.i ttee, of which . E. Dodge is Chairman, recommended the Grant Monument site, even after Gaudens' interview with Porter in Paris. You will remeniber we had this matter up in Washington some time ago, when you and i ^discussea discussed it withLn Iir. nr.I'letmore. Wetmore. I x have also sent a copy of this let-er to Wm. E. Dodge, and have notified Porter by cable of the intention. I also saw Cumph Sherman this morning. Of course, he is in a delicate position, but like thd rest of us, is very much opposed to having Sherman placed right under Grant. I have an idea he will see the Comnission personally. The place where Cumph would like to see it is at the head of the irall, which is the proper place for it, as it v.'0-.ld be a great adornm.ent to Central ^ark. If it could not be placed there itcould be put at the entrance to the park. To show it properly, it is a statue thatrequires greensward and trees around it, so the grounds around it could be decorative, and not cold asphalt, such as there would be up at the tomb. If placed at ti.etomb /.e would never hear of anyone going to see it; on' the way to the tomb, they would strike it, perhaps. If anything is to be placed at the Grant tomb it should be on it in the places that have been left. Iwlsh, if you feel inclined, you would add your word to ours to the Park Comndssioner. Very truly yours. Grenville M. Dodge Hon. Elihu Koot, Secretary of War, Washington, D. c. M- March, 1902, New York City, March 15, 1902 iissioner, Arsenal, Central Park, New York City. I notice in tr;e papers this morning that in the matter of locating the Sherman Statue the sub-committee has recommended a point just south ofthe Crant Tomb, and upon the same ground the Tomb is situated. The question of the location of the Sherman Statue was \inder consideration by General Porter, President of the Grant Monument As sociation, and the sculptor, and General Porter vyrote me on August 31, '1900, as follows: "The sculptor of the Sherman Statue has, after a consultation with n.e, been made to see very clearly that the Grant Monument ground would be an impossible place for the work." In other letters to me General Porter has set forth very clearly the greatinjustice it would be to palce Sherman second to Grant upon the Grant Monument ground. Grant and Sherman were the two great Gener als of the war, indepenedent in methods and independent in character, and are entitled to distinct and separate monuments. I know that Secretary hoot and myself, the two Vice-Presidents of the Grant Mon ument Association, agr^e fully with General Porter in this matter, and I desire to enter my earnest protest, with General Porter's, against the selection of this location, and think before the final decision is made the Grant Ivonument Association should be heard in the matter. The location of a statue of General Sherman adjacent to and over shadowed by the tomb of Grant would be such an injistice to Sherman that I Gonnot see how it could be considered seriously for a moment by the committee having the matter in charge. No one would hear of Sherman's statue; they would only know of it as they go to see Grant's monument. One of tne statues cost more than half a million dollars, the other probably less than ^ne hundred thousand, and that alone should be enough to separate them widely. Tf:e proper location for tliis statue, it appears to me, is the site originally selected, the i^aii in Central ?ark. It would be a great adoffinent there, and a statue of the character of Shermanis should be in a park where it is not overshadowed by other great monuments, and only be suirounded with trees, and it would add greatly to the attraction and beauty of this site. Placing it right under the shadow of Grantis Tomb, and on the Game ground,does not add attraction or beauty to the site, for it detracts from Sheriiian and adds nothing to Grant. Then the placing of Sach a statue of Sherman upon cross-walks with nothing but asphalt and concrete as its basis and surroundings is certainly not the kind of position that this statue, which is certain ly a great work of art, should occupy. Very truly yours. adds nothing to Grant, upon cross-walks with and surroundings is Grenville M. Dodge. March, 1902, New York City, March 15, 1902, Hon. William E. Dodge, Esq., New York City. My dear Sir; I enclose you copy of a letter 1 sent this morning to Park Commissioner Vilcox. I think if the sub-committee could have heard General Porter upon this question, or had consulted the Grant Monument Association, they would change their views as to the location. I have set I'orth some of the reasons why the Gherm.an Statue should not be under the Grant Monument, but another and very import ant one to me and all old soldiers Aho served with Grant, and with the armies he commanded, and who know the characteristics of both Q-enerals, is that the old soldiers would ;.-rotest very strenuously against placing one where he would be over shadowed by the other. Then again, a beautiful work of art, such as the statue of General Sherman is, and which Porter and myself saw in Paris, should be by itself, where it can be surrounded by green sward, trees and decorative landscape, in order to do the statue justice and at the same time show proper respect to the memory of Sherman. Knowing your broad views on such subjects, appeal to you in this matter, and believe you will see the justice of our position in the matter. Very truly yours, ■ / Grenville M. Dodge. - ■ L. v. h % ■ ■ . . I ^ "f:■ March, 1902. New York City, Miarch 15, 1902. Hon. Walter I. Smith, House of Representctives, Washington, 0. Miy dear Sir^ To a person who has spent two months in the interior of Cuba and observed the psssibilities of its future and the opportunities of the United States, the position Congress takes in this matter -appears very strange. Dropping all question as to adiing Cuba, or as to the bene fits to the United States, it seems to nie very strange that after.we entered a war, which all persons who knew what war meant were opposed to, after getting into the island,, controlling it, and giving an ex ample to those people of what could done cleanline; industry. and everything else, and placing them under conditions so they are unable to help themselves except tlirough the United States, that now Con gress should say to them we are through with you; we simply pro pose to let you hoe your own row after we have put conditions upon you that will prevent your appealing to anyone else, and propose to leave you in a worse condition than we found you in under Spain. I think when the people olthe United States understand thisquestiai thoroughly they will never submit to such treatment of Cuba. No person can go to Cuba without seeing that the aid you give her is going to helpus far more than it is Cuba. I travelled through the island from west to east its entire length, keeping away from the cities and spending my time with the Cuban peO|de to get at their views and see what ti.ey are doing, and what the country is capable of, and found most of the Cubans at work. They arefriendly to the United States, having grown so very fast in the last year, and are favorable to annexation. Me only know Cuba as the producer of cane and tobacco, but itrequires an imri.ense capaital to run a sugar plan- .tation. The future of Cuba is with the small farmer, who not only can raise cane, and sell to the mills, and tobacco, .jut can raise all the vegetables we grow in our country, also the fruits. It is cap able of sustaining a population of twenty millions of people, but suppose it is one-half of the number, which it will have very soon after it gets an opportunity, see what a market it will be for all our cereals and the manufactures of our country. I do not believe myself that any legislation for thereduction of the tariff will ever injure the sugar industry in this country. Our sugar isgoing to be grown in ohe Western States, mostly in Colorado, Utah and Nebraska, and what is raiseu there will have its own home m:rket. Ciiha would never be able to compete with it on account of freight rates, but I do.not think all this ispertinent in considering.a great moral question ouchas Cuba is presenting to us. Ido not believe that we should force Cuba to be annexed to us. If she is to be annexed, let her come to us of her own free will. Il the question comes to us there is nothing inthe world which will prevent the people of this country from annexing the island. I do not believe Congress understands the sentiment of our people. i You may think the sentiment iswith the idea that nothing should be ' done for Cuba, but you will find you are wrong in such a supposition. There are twenty thousand Americans yee.rly visiting Cuba, but they only go to the cities and do not get into the interior which is necessary in order to see what t]:e„._island iscapable of. They do not apv^reciate the fact that this rich country has not today five per cent of its area in farms and plantations, and not ten per cent of that live percent under cultivation. Tney do not realize what an op_ortunity it presents for the sm.all farmer. One oi our lowa farmers can go to Cuba with a very sir.all sum, build his own house from what the land he buys will produce, without spending a tiling upon it except his labor, and have a far more comfortable home than we had in Iowa at an early day, and in ninety days he can raise suf ficient to take care of liisfamily, but when he goes beyond that he cannot find market for his surplus. There are many reasons for this, some of which will disrppear soon. One is that there are no means of transportation, another is that where transportation is to be had -It Is high priced, but the most important one of all is that, hisonly market is prohibited on account of the high tariff on his products. The farmer could raise all the fruits andvegetables and market them here in this city in November, December, January and February, months in which we produce none of them, and place them on our markets far less than '-e ar-e now comipelled to pay, and if tl.e duties were such that he could have the use of these n.onths in which to market his produc6shere, it would be a great inducemjent to farmers to settle there Our farmers all over the country are looking for milder climates, { and the climate of Cuba is simply perfect. I did not expericen an uncomf orta bel hour *hii'e I was in the island. The price of sugar has gone down until there .is very little margin to the planter there, even with a reduced tariff, with their present methods of grind ing. The new milling inethods will have to be introduced there before those planters can increasetheir products very much. The world will have their tobacco, because there is no country which can raise as fine tobacco as Cuba. 7'e have g ne in there and shown them what good- saritary con ditions are, what good living, good schools and goodgovernment mean. Now, we propose to crop them and leave them without any revenes, or anything to bring them revenue. 'Ae propose to say to the planter you have no future,and he will make no preparations for putting in new crops of sugar, and there will be set adrift there a large popula tion with nothing to do, which may, possible, become troublesome, which now is at work., and we arc doing this because of the idea that some person, or soir.e industry, in this gre t broad country may be injured. It is not the way we used to do things, and it is not the way the hepublican ..arty used to meet such great problems and great principles, a id in my opinion, it is not the way they will be met now. It may come slowly, but as sure as the sun rises and sets, if we do not do justice to Cuba we will in oome way receive the punishment. So far as I am individually concerned, I do not believe the 20% reduct- ^ ion on sugar will be ofnuch benefit to the planter, except^the moral effect will will have, and if they do not get more than 20% my belief is they will knock at our door within a year, and you will have that question to meet. I I write you because I knew,nothing of Cuba before I visited it, and think that ninety-nine out of every one hundred persons who have been to Cuba will cone back with the same views I hold. Very truly yours, Grenville N.. Dodge. March, 1902 Atlantic City, March 15, 1902 My dear General Your kind letter has just reached me here, where I am patching up my strength after a sharp tussle with pneumonia. I would love to make the trip to Cuba and will do so in about ten days if my business conditions will permit. A visit with Col. and Mrs. AlleHander would in itself be enough to take me there, saying nothing of the benefit to my health. I began to write the articles in the Register by accident as it were. First I wrote the sketch of Senator Allison in December, hoping to rouse the State up into giving his the sixth terra, by unanimity, or as the act of the whole State just merely by the Republican party, an luiusual honor, and one unique, but which he richly deserved, then naturally I wrote one on Dolliver. Then after those two articles had been printed and many of the papers in the State had copied them, Richard wrote me that they had greatly helped the Register and brought back the old feeling of State affection for and pride in the paper and asked me to write some more. To help him I consented and knowing the heart of the Iowa people as well as I do, I took up the subject of the early day, feeling sure I could revise the old feeling of the early times. The popular reception given the articles have greatly pleased me and Richard says the Register has received great benefit from them. He is in poor health now, and in poor spirits and as the paper is doing none too well, I am glad to do anything I can to help him. As soon as I get my strength back I shall continue the articles. If I can keep them up, I shall print them in book form at the end and including with them a character sketch of 10 or 12 Iowa men who have made striking records and risen to fame by their own efforts. If I do this of course you will be one of the. The State of Iowa falls behind allthe States in this sort of thing of preserving the history of its strong men and I will do what I can to make up for such deficiency and negligence. Hoping you are in good health, lam Always yours. James S. Clarkson '"M. , ' .. . .. 'X. . March, 1902, New York City, March 15, 1902, My dear Miss Stanley: I received a telegram from Col.

I wish to express to you my deepest sympathy in the loss you and your family have sustained, and also wish to add jny testimony to the great services he has rendered his country.

Dear Captain: Yours of Feb. 18th relating to the -Ith Iowa, and enclosing Kountze's pamphlet, received, for which please accept my thanks. . Reply has been delayed on account of my absence in Cuba, where I have been for two months past. At the time you mention I was not with the regiment, and hea nothing to do with it, but i referred your let;^er to General Williamson, v/ho was in command of the regiment, and he says you are in error in stating that iiieither he or Col. Burton reported the casualties after May 19th; that they made their reports forwarding them to their superior officers, and that they went on up to the War Departmient, and that the records and reports miade are in the office of the Adjutant General. You kno.w these reports go froiii the Commander of the Company to the Colonel of the regimient, from him to the Brigade Commander, then the Division Comimander, then the Corps Commander and then to the War Department. All the books of the 4th Iowa were filed in the Wcr Departn.ent, and' i have referred your letter to the War Department, hoping to get an abstract showing the casualties. Veru truly yours, G. M. Dodge. March, 1902. New York City, March 17, 1902 Personal My dear Porter; ^ have your cable in reply to mine, and have seht it to Park Commissioner Wilcox, with request that he furnish me with copy of any which he may have received froni you. I cabled you in relation to the Sherman Statue ma tter because 1 was astonished to find that the location was made at the urgent request of St. Gaudens and McKiin, the two artiests of the statue, W. E. Dodge being Chairnian of the sub-committee having it in charge. Of course I did not allow any grass to grow under my feet here until 1 aroused an opposition which I believe will prevent its being placed on tr:e Grant Monuiient grounds. I imniediately went to see W. R. Wiicox, iark Commissioner, who is a rrerrber of the club, and found he was not in sympathy with the location individually. I had letters written to him by Bliss, Swayne and others, and also wrote Foot requesting hirn to write. My information iS that the statue will be placed at the circle, which is a desirable place. The whole ^.ressure of the hiearing was for placing it in the cross-paths in front of the Grant r.onun.ent, say two or three hundred feet in front of it. I enclose you copy of the:letter I wrote. 1 also wrote a long letter to '''illiami E. Dodge, taking up the question of the Grant lionument ground being absolutely devoted to the Grant Tomb and nothing else, and this argun.ent I used with most of the Trustees. I received your letter saying you are to be here in June, and am greatly pleased. You will find all ofyour friends are very iiiuch pleased. I have haa a great many inquiries about your com ing, andth.ey are all locking forward to seeing you. I have never been to '/-est Point yet, but am doin to ar'range to be there to hear you. Iruly and cordially yours, Grenville N-. Dodge. General Borace Porter, Ambassa..e des Etata- Cnis Paris, France. N-arch, 1902. New York City, iV^arch 17, 1902 Ky dear Sir '.'■illiam; I met ivr. Berwind and Rr. ''alters together, andwent ovc.r as fully as I could the proposed financial scheme, giving them all the information in relation to it that I could. They seemed to ap prove of it, and I think will both be willing to take their proportion of the preferred stock at 20, if we put it out that way. I had a call last Saturday froDi one of the bond men of the house of Edw. C. Smith I'- Co., who said they were very anxious, if we iosued any' bondo or schenie for selling bonds,to take part of them or part in it. You know they are a strong bond house in Philadelphia, and of excellent standing, and I have no doubt they would take hold with any house here in selling or taking a portion of these bonds. I advised hin, to con.nunicate with kr. /'idener, he being a Philadelphia man, as they could get more information fromi hira.v and we, of course, would want his endorsement il the house took any part in it. 1 be lieve myself that we can sell these bonds by putting some of the Preferi-ed stock with them, which would relieve us from a good deal of financeering. I trust you are fully recovei'ed from your lameness, and are all right again, and vant to assure you again of the appreiciation I have of the trip, and of your attention, consideration and courtesy not only to me, but to my guest Ivr.

I see in the morning Pfeei'S that the Park Con.ndssioner has located the statue at the phaza entrance to Central Park, within the park limits. It seems 'to me that thislocation is an excellent one. It is a comnianding position and the surroundings will give a goodeffect to the Statue. I believe the location will receive the approval of the people generally. Just at that point that park needs something as a relief, and I do not ..now of anytl:ing better for the palce than the fine work of art which the Sherman Stctue is. I have sent a letter to President Porter and also to Secretary Foot today, enclosing copies of your letter to me, a both of them take great interest in this matter. Very truly yours, Grenville h.

This will delight all his friends, I am sure, It is the spot preferred unanimously by our Sherman Statue Committee at the start but we could not secure it, I wrote you fully yesterday, sending you copies of what I had written. It is just as well anyhow that they should have those considerations before them. I shall write them now congratulating them upon having made this admirable selection.

Dodge 1 Broadway, New York ^ity. N'arch , 1902. New York City, March 20, 1902 Hon. ''.alter I. Smith, • . . House of ^Representatives, ; " Washington, O. C. My dear Sir: I on, greatly pleased to receive your letter, and fully agree with you as to the necessity of naking reductions on some things in the tariff,but do not think this ap,.lies to the .-question of Cuba, which is upon far higher ground. One is a mati-er of economics, wh,ile ti;e question of Cuba is an application to tlie United Otates we cannot place as an economic Juesticn . The people ofthe United States will never so consider it,- it is upon a broader higher ground. It is a question that has been brought about by a war, and you will have to settle it upon that basis. The econiniic question will come later on after we have performed our duty to Cuba. Then we will have to enter into negotiations for atariff with her nn everything, and the conomic question may cone in, but just now we have Cuba after a war on her account, andmust not leave her in a worse condition than when she was under Spain. I do not think the amount the liouse pro poses to give will b e of much benefit, Imtice the price of sugar has already dropped in Cuba to 1.2 cents to the farmer, which is far less than the cost of manufacture. However, 1 am glad to see that the house proposes to do something,as it will have a moral effect. So far as my own personal interests in Cuba are concerned, it would be better for n-e that nothing were done for Cuba, which would bring about imniediate annexation, but I believe in living up to our agreements no matter what personal interests are affected, i expect to be in Washington the firfet of April, and hope to see you and can talk over n.atters more fuily with y-u. I hope before it adjourns Congress will find somie way to make a reduction in the tariff, as you suggest. It will not hurt the interests .that you .propo.,e toreduce the tariff upon, and will no doubt be satisfactory to tne people. i understand the objection is that if you start in on a few things you are going to open the whole question, and i appreciate very fully that would create great disturbances in this country, and might work greater harm than the benefits which would con.e from, the proposed reductions. The bus iness world stands in perfect horror of the opening of the tariff question when timies are good. However, it does seemi to me that Congress could conie to an agreomient as to what articles the tariff sl-;ould be reduced upon and act upon them. I suppose the trouble is with the Senate. Very truly yours, Grenville M. Dodge. March, 1902 March 21st, 1902 Washinpcton, D. C. My dear General;- I was deli3;hted to receive your most interesting letter from and about Cuba, its prospective productiveness and its people, and I trust they may receive sufficient help from this country, wliich they were striving for, and that it may continue until they are strong enough to v/alk alone. If we are destined to gain Cuba as a possession of oiir own, I would much prefer that they would come into our fold willingly, rather than by being coerced* by bitter necessity. Enclosed you will find letter from Captain Suramerlin and a list of invited guests for the centennial celebration. You will see that you are to be invited and affectionately cared for as the Commander in Chief of the Armv of the Tennessee. Were this not the case, Captain" and Mrs. Gummerlin would insist upon your being their guest upon that occasion. I am more than delighted that General Porter has graciously consented to .iourney from France to deliver the centennial address. He is a noble American soldier and a man of whom the country may well be proud. I beg leave to acknowledge and accept with pleasure your very kind invitation to be present as your guest at the Grant Dinner Saturday, April 2oth, 19C2.

I had been informed that you were in Cuba and os made no attempt to look you up. I am much obliged for the inforn.ation which you give in I'egard to the Chicago, 8c. Northwestern R. R. I am also exceedingly interested in what you relate in regard to your journey through Cuba. There can be no doubt as to the great future of that country, nor of the wisdom of pursuing a liberal policy toward the island. I should my self enjoy an opportunity of seeing it as you have. The publisher of my book on the Pur Trade is Francis P. Harper, #14 West 22nd Street, New York. I am inclosing you a copy of the prospectus of the book. Very truly yours. E. M. Chittenden. If I had any of those sets for presentation I should delight in sending you one; but my publishers allowed me only a very few necessary to give to certain parties who contributed largely to the work; so I have to purchase fr-om them like any one else.

It is tne first volunie and en tirely devoted to theearly history of the plains and the men upon it, and these matters I know will interest you. I have read it and was greatly interestea in it, although I arn familiar with the matters it contains.

Dodp:e, 1 Broadway, City Dear General;- I am honored by your recent favor suggesting ra3r membership in the Loyal Legion. When the Legion was organized, I was about to become a member on the invitation of my ild commander, Genl. Heinzlemann, but ray father objected, having old fashioned Democratic notions, in herited from the Revolutionary Epoch, against hereditary military orders - in this country, and I deferred to his wishes in declining membership at that time. After my father passed away, I was dissuaded from be coming a candidate, because my friends were apprehensive that the Meade ^ party in the order, would oppose my membership. A year or so ago. Gen. Swayne and Gen. Horatio C. Ring renewed similar suggestions of my candidacy, but after conferring with Gen. Treraaine, I again hesitated. For some reason, which I am unable to appreciate, many of the friends of Gen. Mead are hostile to roe, although I have never given justification for it. I would indeed, esteem it a great privelege and pleasure to be associated with you and your colleagues in the Order, and I would value it that I might leave this as an inheritance to ray son. General Howard, not long ago, spoke to me on the same subject. Very sincerely yours, iSickles. 115 Mar. 28th, 1902 Council Bluffs, la., March 28th, If02 Gen. G. M.

My dear Sir: I have been spending two or took up the matter of the location of that it had not yet been fully decided partraent has nothing to say about, but as to where th locations should be. Navy is disposed to leave themaitter to have the inatter before the President, ton I expect to have an interview with but I was called back here and was not there this time. three days in Washington, and the naval stations, and found It is a matter the V/ar DeI think they agreed with me I think Secretary Long of the Moody, who is coming In. I and when 1 get back to Washinghim. He wanted to see me, able to see him when I was over What I suggest is that you write S enator Proctor, or such Senators as you are acquainted with who are members of the Naval Committee, and set forth your views in the matter. I know I made a very strong impression with them in the case, but I think the Ad visory Board in the Navy Department was set on having it on the south side of the island on account of protecting the canal etc., but I am satisfied they are going to put at Nipa Bay a good deal more than a coaling station, but it seems that the Advisory Board are sticking to Guatanamo. I leave here Sunday to go back there, and will be there most of next week, and will probably miss you, therefore if you have anything additional in the miatter which you want presented, I wish you would write me here. The condition there on the aid to Cuba is simply this. There is a majority in both houses strongly in favor of at least 33^ reduction, but the trouble is there are enough republicans against it both in the House and Senate that if yougo above 20 or 25;^ will join the democrats and open Ui. the whole tariff question on the bill, and the reason it is held down to 20 or 25^ is for the purpose of saving the bill. If they should open up on the tariff question you can understand the bill vould never go through either house. The President and Secretary of War have certainly acted with a good deal if ingenuity in this matter, and when I got inside and saw the diffi culties that the administration and Speaker have met with, I wonder at their getting the minority down so that joining with the dem ocrats they can accomplish nothing. Ihe thing I object to most on the ■'■^ouse Bill is transfer ring our imndgration laws, which I fear will affectout immigration schem.es in Cuba. Iwish you v^ould write me fully as to that, be cause I want to take it up with the Senators. 122 .

I have .lust had a talk General P^cCook and he says he is going to Gettysburg with Sickles to morrow and will talk the matter over with him. I will also see General Tremain in a day or two and ascertain from him his opinion as -to the situation and after that I will communicate with you as to the result of these conferences and you can then determine whether there is more for you to do. Yours truly. A. Noel Blakeman A. £. Pa.ymaster, late ¥. S. N. Recorder General Grenville M. Dodge, 1 Broadway, N. Y. City 1-25 April, 1902. New.York City, April 4, 1902 Iviy dear Iv'.r. Atkins: When 1 came home from Cuba I came direct to New York, and did not get over to Washington until the first of this week, and spent some time there. When it comes to a square vote there is no question that there is a majority in both House and Senate for a large reduction of the Cuba tariff, if the question could be confined to that point, and beat all amendments, but there is a large minority in the House that is opposed to doing anything for Cuba believing it will bring annexation, and there is also the best sugar minority.^ Now, if they could combine and hold together so that their vote with the solid democratic vote could be utilized, the bill would be opened up and aniended by general tariff legislation. If that tariff questioncould be eliminated, and it came down to a square vote on 30 or 40 or perhaps 50 percent reduction, there is a majority in the House to carry it, and that vote would come partly from republicans and partly from democrats. While if you go above 20 or 25 precent there are republicans enough in the House that are annexationists, beet sugar men, etc. together with the solid democratic vote to add enough tariff legislation to kill the bill. Now, when youcome to the Senate the same thing applies there. The States of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska and l^fichigan are beet sugar States, and there are enough of those members, together with other republicans who are willing to let go through a bill providing for 20 or 25 percent reduction, but when you carry it above that under the lead of Burrows of lY-chigan they wouid combine with the democrats and adu tarilf legislation, which, of course, would kill the bill, because with tariff legislation attached it could not pass either House. There is a large majority of republicans in the liouse that would be glad to have tariff legis lation on cei'tain Articles, such as stell glass, etc. in which the parties interested would be perfectl y willing to have the tariff taken off, but they cannot confine it to that, and they will not, or dare not, open up the tariff question generally at this session, for the whole country is prosperous rnd they are all fearful of it. I have no doubt that after the Congressional election that question will be taken up in some way. There is a great effort now totry to get the Senate to pass certain reduction of the tariff withodt distrubing the General Tariff and this is the exact position of the Cuba bill. The friendship of the country generally is growing all the time, and I think President Palma and his advisers have com.e to the conclusion that they had better take this and look forward to a reciprocity agreement for better terms next winter or thereafter. The reduction of the military force was agreed upon on reports of the condition of matters in the island received by the War Department and President Palma. 126 When I wrote youfrom Cuba the intention was to leave a,force of 2,500-, but they believe and say, and all the people in Cuba repre sent that therewill be absolutely no trouble whether troops are there or not. I was astonished to see the great change in the House on the sugar question. You know it was a strong fight in the "'<ays and Means Committee, but on the final vote the 20^j reduction was agreed to 12 to 5, and a larger reduction could have been carried if the majority of republicans could be held, to it in the House. There is no question but that the President, Secretary of War, the Speaker and republicans generally in the House and Senate wanted a much larger reduction,but are held up virtually by the fear of the Minority Republicans and democrats adding tariff legislation. I learn from people coming here from Cuba, and what I hear from our ovm people, that the sugar people are meking preparations for larger crops ne>.t year. Probably that comes from the idea that the bounty Of France and Germany when taken off will be beneficial to them. I go to Wahsington Sunday and will be there a portion of next week,and if. I see anything of interest will write to you. I would like to know from you how matters are progressing down there. We get very little inhrrnation here from Cuba. The papers have hardly anything to say. They seem to have settled down to the idea that what has been done in Washington has been done with perhaps, not the approval, but the acquiescence of President PaIma. He made a speech in the Chamber of Commerce here yesterday,- a very sensible one, andsaid while he wa^ grateful for 20^^ it would not givemuch of any relief to Cuba,but he was in hopes to obtain more in the future, etc. I trust you are all well. Please remember me kindly to my friends there. Mr.Jones is working away at his matters in Texas, and holding up Cuba all he can. Truly and cordially. G. M. Dodge. Edward F.

I assume the Advisory Board has three objects in view, vis,- Pirst. The maintanance of order in Cuba and the protection of United States interests therein. Second; The protection of the Gulf coast of the United States, and Third; The protection of the Nicaragua or Panama Canal. As regards the first two objects, a naval station at Guantanarao would be of little use, if any, and as regards the first particularly I beg leave to point out that the railway construction now going on in Cuba will soon make all parts of the Island accessible from the"Bay of Mipe. while Guantanarao is likely to remain for a good while to come inaccessible, because there is nothing, so far as I have been able to discover, to justify a railway connection with that point. Th« enclosed map will probably make the situation clear to you, The ThP Cuba Company s railway, Santa Clara and to the Santiago rails on de this Cuba line is the will main be connected line of throughout within eight or twn weeks from this time. The red lin^ the + h^ present year, main as is line the to branch the Bay to Uolguin. of Nipe is The to line be completed indicated during In rPd situation that the construction of these lines is bringing out. The country east of a line drawn from Santiaa-n +n vi r»Q < r, tt mountainous and thdre is nothing of iranortance there and oniS « sparse population, except for afew MlerabSu? GuanLnal . me that the naval station ought to be in Nina Rnv \ coaling station is required it should be at Cuantanp f ^ separate not be forgotten that\bile O^SaL L onfo? k' Cuba, Nipe is one of the roole^t t f hottest places in character of the two bays and their accessibilltv about the recently surveyed and the Navy department haJ fnk' have been them. Either the Nicaragua or PaLma Canal concerning cannot make much difference in this"regard whetheJ thJ that it at Guantanarao or at Nipe, I know hnw f naval station be matters, and therefore I venture to write you on twrsubleot!^ hon. Redfleld, Proctor, The Senate, Washington Home 133 April, 1902, New York City, April 8, 1902, Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of «ar, Washington, C. Ny dear Mr. Secretary: Captain W. H. Chamber-lain, of the 81st Ohio, now connected with the Associated Press at Cincinnati, Ohio, desires to appeal from the action of the Shiloh National Military Park Commission in the matter of the location oi' the monument of the 81st Ohio at Shiloh. This regiment served under me for more than two years, and in it Captain Chamberlain was a very efficient officer. Ror a long tine he served on my staff, and I wish to endorse him as a gentleman of integrity, and one whose statements you can rely upon as being truthful. Captain Chamberlain stands just as high as a citizen of Cincinnati as he did as a soldier in the 81st Infantry, and I ask for him the courtesy and consideration which I know you always extend in matters of this kind. I have no personal knowledge of the question that Captain Chamberlain desires to present. Vgry truly yours, Grenville M. Dodge. ■f Qp: ±tyU April, 1902. New York City, April 9, 1902, t'Y dear iriend: On my return from Cuba I received you letter of i^-arch 19th I /ras in V.'ashington last week and looked into the rra tter of the claim, and there does not seem to be any bill befoi'e Congress for it now, and even if there was I do not believe it would stand any chance. They will not take up and consider these claims on account of the fact that the '"ar Department has repor-ted against themi . I am\ery sorry for J- think that your father or his heirs should have been paid for the old fort. He turned it over to the Government and had a better claim than anyone else to it, altl?ough it may not have been an absolute title. Itried to find tne bill that had been introduced before. Perhpas your lawyer that wrote me about it can give me some points upon it. Are there any other children of Jamjes Bridger 'living beside yourself? Kow n,any children have you? I would like to know all about the famiily. I know that ^ saw youat Fort Bridger, for I saw all the f; mily as far back as 1853, and knew your father intimately froni that time on. Ke was a guide for my forces durijig the Indian campaigns of 1865-6, and guided the Powder River colony. He was also with me in th.e fifties when I was making surveys over that country, and froiii 1865 on when I was building the bnion Pacific I saw a good deal of himi and his family. Please answer this promiptly, also have the lawyer that has you natter in charge write me and tell me if anything is being done in the miatter. It should be done through the fleiiher of Congress representing the Kansas City District. I enclose you a check to help you along in your niatters. If you have that photograph I hoi-.e you \vill send it to mie, or a copy of it, as I am anxious to get a good picture of your father. I have several newspaper pictures but they are not good.

Dodge, #1 Broadway, New York Dear General;- Your favor of the 4th instant is received this morning at Seymour and I wired you "Matters pending prevent my joining you in Colorado."- Should I close the trades now pending, I will need all the loose funds I have. I have met the Haskell folks and looked over the Country sotth of the Brazos River with them; they want to know if we are going to extend, they say that parties connected with the Ptisco want a subsidy from them to build from Stamford to Haskell and from Haskell to Vernon but they said they would prefer to get our road if we will build and that they want to give us the opportunity before the3f close with the other parties; they say if we will build to Abile, they will undertake to get us 150,^0.00 as follows;- $40,000.00 from Haskell, 1^40,000.00 from Stamford, $30,000 from A-son, and $40,000.00 from Abilene or Merkel but they want a definite answer. I believe the road will have a future if we build to Abilene, it will be froin 95 to 100 miles and will cost say about •; 1000,000.00 nearly $100,000 of this will be for the Brazos* Bridge. That country south of the Brazos is filling up notwithstandirg the drought. The great attraction seems to be that they have good water near the surface most of the distance. I would like you to consider this^ I expect to see Gowen in a few days, as soon as I do, I will write you fully. Yours very truly. Morgan Jones. Expect to be in Chicago next Monday.

I hope not, however, and shall expect you, and if you are here shall reserve a p]a ce for you. I also wish Lo have attend as my guests ten of the naval officers y.ho are here, and if you will make up a list for me I will send tickets for them. It will be a great pleasure to me to have themjattend. I will also reserve a box for the ladies of the officers who may wish to come. It will seat seven. As soon as I hear from you that the party is ii.ade up, with the names, ^ will send you the tickets for them also the box tickets. i have invited Captains Coglan and Converse to attend as guests of the Association. I have not heard form Capt. Converse, but am sorry to say Capt. Cogian cannot attend. I know that the olticers will enjoy the dinner, and it will give them an opportunity to pay their respects to the memiory of General Grant. I would send these tickets direct, but am not well enough acquainted with the officers to know who to send them to,but you or one of your aids can ascertain who can come. I will have to have their names to arrange for seating themi. Truly and cordially yours, Grenville I"'. Dodge. " Admiral A. S. Barker, Navy Yard, Brooklyn, N, Y. '•A 141 2111 Mass. Ave., Washington, April 11th, 1902 My dear Genl. Dodge: We are looking forward with greatest pleasure to seeing you here, and Mrs. Grant asks nie to write to say, that she hopes very inaah you will dine with her, on Mionday evelng next the 14th, or Wednesday the 16th, at seven o'clock, most imformally, <^s we are all most anxious to see you often during your visit here? Mrs. Grant thinks you may become more busy after being heie some days, so hse judges that Mionday evening the 14th of April, would suit your convenience better, for the quiet little dinner, as that will be your first day in town, but she wishes to suit your convenience about that entirely and hopes to hear? I think all the political attacks on the Army and War Dept. are terrible, as all those poor fellows have done their very best'. I especially regret to see in the Herald today the attacks on Genl. Wade as he is the one w!io deserves promotion. I heard thro a Senator yester day that the authorities would now push Genl, Wood forward this summer and that Genl. Wade was not popular with them, so would not be remem bered. I said nothing but thought it str'ange'.'. I feel most anxiously interested in all this as I see that Genl. Funstan (who has not been as long in the tropics nor done more fine zealous and loyal sei-vices than others, has been recalled and given command in the third highest Dept. of this country'. I fear much such favoritism, tho I am silent always'. Fred surely will have friends to remember him. Trusting that Mrs. Grant niay count u^jon seeing you at Dinner and with warmest regards from her and allour family. Yours sincerely, Ida H. Grant. P. S. My dear Genl. Dodge I trust you received safely the two letters from Genl, Porter to you which I returned for Mrs. Grant, and that you also received ttet other letter from me, about affairs in Fred's District and enclosures. Genl. Wheaton's letter etc. safely? Yours very sincerely, Ida Honore Grant. April, 1902. New York City,.April 11, 1902. Personal Dear Nr. Trumbull: I received your letter on- my return from Cuba, but you were-in the Couth, and 1 have not written as I knev. you were posted on matters generally by telegraph. Ny visit was a very interesting one, and was very bene ficial to my health. I spent two and a half months in the interior of Cuba, going through it frorn 'w'estto East, through its- center, six hundred miles on wheels, and I i ust say that I was astonished. I knew nothing of Cuba, and America knows nothing of it. People who . go there, the sight-seers, stop at Havana and other towns, and do not get in among the people, the farn-ers, sugar grower;., tobacco raisers, etc. They are an intelligent, industrious -jeople* ot simple, econ omical habits, kindly in their feeling to Auierica, and look to it for their future greatness. Not of the island as yet is occupied, and not IC/'j of that Z/o is under cultivation. I never saw such fine land in my life. I have been all cround the world and have never seen anything to equal it. It raises three orfour crops a ye r easily, and I saw lands there that had been cultivated for four hundred yeahs that seemed to be as productive as in theoriginal state, and there are yet nilli -ns of acres that have not been scratch.ed. The island can ersily support 20,0v>0,000 people, and our country is making the -grertest of rrdstakes, as it always does when it handles new questions. -We are seeking a market for our products all over the world, and here we have one at our dear, and all we have to do is to tHow it to be developed. Everything in the way of cereals that the Cuban eats comes from America, and they would but all their manufactured goods from us if wewould give themi the opportunity. I see in the papers talk of Congress helping Cuba, but the fact is whatever we do for Cuba will be helping the br\ited States, for wewill reap one hundred dollars fron it where theywill reap one, and it will not be a year before our people discover it, andwe will not be haggling over giving them 20^ discount,- we will be glad to give 100^. The 20% will help them a li'tie, and make them feel kindly towards us, but the moment our people get into the interior and see what can be done, they will bring such pressure upon Congress that it will act unanimously. Beet sugar will never be .hurt by Cuban sugar,- and i want you to remtemiber what i say in this. Beet sugar mmstdepend upon its local trade for its ri.arket. No matter what youdo with Cuba, you never can force it to tide-water as against the came sugar of the world, and it will be twenty years before we will raise beet sugar enough to make up what we will.hove to impor't outside of Cuba. But it is not sugar and tobacco that will make Cuba great, it is its diversi fied products. If we would give it proper tariff it could supply us with all the fruits and vegetables we could-eat during N vernber, December, 'January and February, fresh and palatable. These are months in which we get none, and they would not be competing with anyone. 1-44 The railroads now in Cuba and their way of arranging their charges etc. prohibit the development of the island, and when I tell you it has never been known for a tlirough car of freight to go from havana to any other port wi,f,hout change, you will understand it. The principle is for the road's • to take care of the towns that they go out of. Tor instance havana has its system, Cienfuegos has its an dthe with Ivatanzaz and Santiago. There is no com.munity of interest or excfiange business between these different ports. "illiam Van Rome will have his road built within ninety days. and you can thentake an all rail trip from havana to Santiago. The freight rates are now from: twelve to twenty five cents per ton per mile, and the passenger rate about ten cents per ii.ile. On the new road I donot think the highest rates will be more than the lowest rates onthe roads now running. Ahen you want to take a trip next winter, the best thing you and h'rs . • Trumbull can do is to go down there. You will find a most bea,utiful and perfect climate, and see a country that will be an eye-opener to you. I met several Colorado people there, one of whom was Judge Lindsay. lie was so much n.ore enthusiastic than I upon the country that you had bettertalk with him. I do not think he went home with much beet sugar protection in his mind. Like all countries wheie people are not aciualnted with the facts they have to by their own force make their way,which Cuba will do. As Cuba is so near to us, it is a oingular fact to me that we know so little about it and its capabilities. The people there naturally trade with Spain, because they are used to thAt class of goods, and be cause the tariff is such there is no inducement foi' them to trade with us. Under the Tlatt amendment we have tied them, up absolutely. and they might as well be annexed lo us now as to work an independ ent government under that amendment. T have seen many of the mem bers who are elected to the Senate and ii^use there and believe they will start in with a fair and conservative governn.ent . The three years our peopel have been there have been a great object lesson to them, I did not see a hamlet in the island where there was not a school. There are 3,600 of them, and I saw children going ten ndles to school. Tl:ey are eager for educetion. 6O/0 of the population is now illiterate, but in ten years it will, not 10% if they can keep up the schools. The question now is whether the Cuban government can raise revenue enough to carry on-the work our govern ment has inaugurated ana advanced so successfully there . I hope your trip to Iv.ezico has been beneficial to you and N'rs . Trumbull. I know you needed a rest. Rlease extend my very kindest regards to her. Very truly yours, G . iV . Dodge . Frank Trumbull, Esq., Denver, Colo. 145 April, 1902. Prank Trumbull, Esq., New York, April 11, 1902, President, Denver, Colo. Dear Sir:- The general opinion here is that Gates has sold out of the Fuel Co. No doubt you have this through Case. That makes whatever is done, if anything is done, easy in the future. What ought to be done with that property is to put it where it cannot be taken in by the United States Steel Company,-^ that would be a protection to everyone, and especially to us. ^/hen Mr. Osgood gets the property in line, whi'ch I think he will try to do, something else may be d)one with it, though, of course the railroads look on jealously, and I believe it would be a very difficult matter to consolidate it with any road. The Gould System, the Santa Fe System, the Burlington System and the Rock Island System would all probably prefer to see it run as an independent concern, but would also prefer to see it at tached to a road rather than go into the Steel Co, I believe r^r. Oagood's endeavor will be to put it in a position where it will not get there. The stamped stock of the Fort worth & Denver seems to be strong, and some people seem to be buyin g it. They seem to think we have Jiad plenty of water and are going to have good crops, Jones is at Wichita Falls, Me thinks the road that is running into A'ernon may go beyond to Haskell, Says that town has offered ^50,000 as a bonus. The Fort Worth & Denver rally ought to protect that country, and when you come on here we ought to get up some plan to do so, Scullen's road seems to be in the air. He does not seem to have concluded where he is going, but I think perhaps thev mav be in the market. Very truly yours. G. M. Dodge, 149 April, 1902. Monday, April 14th, 1902, My dear Genl. Dodge: We are all looking forward with Mrs. Grant, to the pleasure of seeing you at seven o'clock, this evening. Buck being here, also. We have a box for the pa\jl^^, an amusing one, which may rest you after all your cares of state?

C, My dear Mr. secretary: i I do not know that I have seen an order issued from the V'ar Department that caused me more regret than your order v,hich I see published in to-day's papers, in relation to the trial by ^ courtrr.artial of Major E. F. Glenn, Lieut. Arthur L.. Conger and burgeon Palmer Lyon, without first calling upon them for a report in the matter, it appears that you propose to punish these officers for using proper means to discover a traitor in their own camp. -^-say proper means, because any means are justifiable to detect a traitor, esi;ecially when he is in arms inside their own liiBS. This nian they gave the water cure to was an officer of the Lnited States, holding a high position, and at the same time was a captain of a company of insurgents fighting our country, an>^ under th usages of war they v.ere entitled to kill him on the spot. i have no doubt that when these oilicers returned from their campaign, and reported to their superior olficer what they haddone, they received, not his condem nation, but his comnendation, and if you will look at the usages of war I believe you will conclude these officers were fully justified in taking the action they did. They did this man no harm, but siiriply forced hini toe nfess what they no doubt had evidence of, and they applied the punishment that was used in their own country. Do you suppose that any one of our cotiimanding officers in the Civil T'ar would have ordered an officer court-martialed who had caught such a man as Quantrell at the head ofa guerrilla force inside our lines and given him the water cur'e tomrke him confess who he wos and where his command was, so it could be captui-ed? In fact, any officer would have been justiiied in killing uponthe spot any guerrilla force caught within our lines, and these officers would have been justified in administering the same punishiiient to an erm.ed guer-rilla taken within their lines, pretending to be their friend. I think that your order nmst have impressed every officer of the army, and every soldier, especially those who have served in the Philippines, as it did me, ana I know that every officer and sol dier who served in the Civil War, and knows what the usages of war are, feels thatsame regret 1 do that such an order shouM have been issued by the «ar Department. It seems to methat it was your duty to sustain the army, which isbeing so furiously attacked for successfully ending a war. This occurrence took place when the war in the Philippines was virtually over, and when men in arms against the Government hadno rights. A guerrilla force in the Civil War within your lines, no matter uponwhich side they were fighting, was 154 not entitled to the protection of the laws of war^ Do you suppose that if Colonel Pocsevelt, coniuanding a regiment in Cuba, had found within his lines an officer of tl.e insurgents to whon. had been given a civil position, andhe had used that position to raise a company to destroy his force, would Have stopped to give him the water cui-eIt seems to me thatthe Aar i^epartment shouls stop to con-r sider what war means, and realize that no army ever existed that lived up to the letter and spirit dthe law» It is the usages of war tJa t control, and it is an unheard ofthing to bring to courtmartial officers sent out against armed forces, who discover a traitor in their camp, in arms against their own government, and two years afterwards punish them ior acts that brought no harm to the traitor. You are greatly mistaken if ycuthink the people of the United States take any stock inthis outcry about the action of these officers, or of the officers crossing Siniar. There may be some people who do not know what war means, especially those who pushed us into the Spanish "fr, that are squeamish about such things, but there is no person who has ever had exi)erience in war but knows th.e suffer ing and cruelties that are a natural consequence of sei^vice in the field, and which cannot be avoided. I do think that in this matter you have made a very serious mistake, and you know I would not enter my protest unless I was fully Sf-tislied ofthls. Very truly yours, Grenville k. Dodge. ; * i 4 M- > April, 1902. 155 New York City, April 16, 1902, Personal h'Y dear Senator: I was greatly astonished to see this morning the order of Secretary Root on the Philippine matter, ordering the three officers before a court-n.artial v.ithout giving theni an opportunity to explain. Now the point I make, and wiiich I have written confidentially to Secretary Root, because under no circuriistances would t want to appear as opposing the policy of the government, is that these officers have done nothing in violation of the usages of war, and it is not necessary for me to point that out ti you, for you know in the civil war the methods we took to protect ourselves against the acts of citizens who were within our lines, also guerillas. The orders oif Grant and Sherman, and every independent comi.ander, take for instance my ownorders when commanding Dept. of the ivi^ssouri, would not only justify these men in giving the water cure, but when thoy discovered an officer of our government who had secretly used his position to arm a company to strike down the force he was sworn to protect,- that in the usages of war simply means inmediate death. He is a traitor- nothing more or less, and all in the world these officers did to him was to punish him wiih the methods used in his own country. All they did was to give hin^ somie pain, and force him to c nfess what they no doubt had knowledge of before they went there. These offi cers did something against the laws of war far wor'se than this when they burned the town, and deprived every citizen in the village of a home, but that is one of the usages of war, and is justified, and it is a very grave mistake for this administration to uphold the people who are trying to make mischief. They should sustain these officer's and uphold the army when they treat a traitor as he de serves. It cannot be pleaded that this man was a savage, and had not intelligence to know what he was doing, for h^ had intelligence enough to be made the Preisdent oi' a Province. How long do you suppose such a man would have lasted under the orders of Grant and Sherman. You know what the orders were during our war as to treat ment of guerillas that were found within our lines. They did not get any water cure, but got death as fast as they were captured. Take for instance Quantrell; how long do you suppose he would have lasted if he had been caught Wa.thin our lines. I only take him a s a sample of a great many more. They were outlawed not only by us but by the confederates, anu that is the case in the Philippines, and they were outlawed because this a ct was done after the Philippines v.ere conquered. They were within the lines occupied by our troops, and they had no rights under the laws of war, as I understand them, and they certainly had none under the usages of war. I think your committee should take a stand in this matter. I write this con fidentially, because I do not /ant to antagonize the policy of the President or Secretary Root, but in your own way you can talk this over with the members of your com.mittee. They are greatly mistaken if they think the people of this country take any stock in the hyster ics oi those people who have always been ag ainst the Philippine war, 156 who say nothing of the outrages Gomriiitteci by the Filipinos upon our troops, and if they think soldiers are going to enlist in the U. S. Army, and stand calmly by and see their own men butchered and mutilat ed, they are miistaken. The case in question W'sone of great aggrav ation, and it is a wonder to me that some member of your comiidtiee does not get up andenter Ids protest against testimony as to acts occurring two years ago. What is a great wrong, it seems to me, is to order these officejs court-martialed before giving themi any oppor tunity to explain the circuniS tance;:-, reasons etc. for their action. Their mouths are shut under the rtgulations of the Tar Department, and they cannot say a word in their defence to the people who read these charges. I want to say to you that there is no sol.der whoserved in the civil war, and I do not believe any who served in the Spanish, Philippine and China wars, but who are utterly astonished at this order Thy don't they go to China if they want to find outrages,- outrages, that according to the papers, were coinmitted going Irom the sea to Pekin. Has there ever been a'pi^otest from any of our people against themi, have any of these papers that are m,akin£ such a fuss ever said a word about them, and if they had would our government have taken any notice of them. They considered everything done there justifiable simply fromwhat the Boxers had done to our people, and they did noth ing in comparison to what the Filipinos have done to our people. I do think you should talk with the Secretary of Tar and the President on this matter, especially the President. I do wish I had known that they were to dothis before I left Washington; I certainly would have gone and seen the President about it myself. Before I left I _happened to see Secretary Shaw, the afternoon i left you, and this Philippine qu6..ti(.;n came u^j, and I gave him about the views i do you, but I had no idea what had been determined upon. I believe that the third degree here in the secret service is worse than the water cure, from what I hear about it. notice simply inp. in Truly and cordially yours, Grenville N. Dodge. Hon. Williani B. Allison, United States Senate, ''ashington, D. C. When you consider that an ofiicer of our arm.y was greatly applauded for ordering a man shot for pulling down our flag or if he attempted to do it, and officer for punishing with the ""'ater cure" only, a traitor caught in the act it is very difficult to comprehend the lines of war now. Please send me the testimony where m m- upon the case of kaj. Glenn and his commiand . 157 April, 1902 Council Bluffs, la., April 16th, 1902 General G. M. Dodge, New York Dear General Yours of the 8th at hand and attended to the matter at once but was called away to attend Mills County District Court, therefore could not answer as soon as I wanted. I have consulted with your brother and he approved of the matter as you suggested and I at once ardered the same done as you advised and they will do the same as you ordered. Mr, Sheely & Shane wanted to know whether you wanted the remains of Col. Kinsmann buried under the Monument or on the lot. If buried under the Monument they say that they will have to build a vault under it and it would be at an extra expense of not to exceed twenty dollars. So that you will have to let us know how you want that matter arranged. Abe Lincoln Post may not attend as a body at Des Molnes but if not there will be a large delegation from said Post at the encampipent, but I am still in hopes that they will attend in a body and the Post or delegation will always be glad bnd proud of General Dodge in their Ranks and as one of them no higher honor could be paid to said Post than to be able to have with them the Commander of the Army of the Tenneddee.Next week we want to get the Com. out to work again on raising funds for the Monument though funds are very slow coming in. The Schools have done very little and the citizens are in about the same boat. We expect to have a large crowd here on the 17th day of Mav next, now if there is anything that I can do or be of service to you let me know as early as possible and I will attend to it with pleasure expecting to hear from you soon, I remain Your friend. John Lindt. 161 ,'ll f ■ April, 1902 Batangas, Batangas Prov. P.I. April 17, 1902 General G. M. Podge, . No.l Broadway, New York City j My dear General;- Your nice long letter of February 27th, written at Santiago, Cuba, was received this morning, and I have enjoyed reading it very much indeed.. I am very glad that you are able to ride over the Santiago battle fields and see your yourself where we had our little fight. I call it little because it is small compared to the many big engagements you were in during the civil war, but although small, the Santiago fight was a most important .one. I note the comments which you have made concerning the movements of the different troops and see that you have studied the matter very thoroughly. I look forward with pleasure some time in the future to driving over the battle field again and seeing the changes that have taken place since those eventful days in the summer of ninejiy eight. Yesterday was a very memorable day in our history here in Batangas, for General Malvar, the Insurgent Leader in this Brigade, who succeeded to Aguinaldo's authority, and also General Caballes surrendered to General Bell. Active insurrection in this Brigade, as well as the entire Philippines, is now at an end and we are all •truly thankful that the end has come. Of course there is considerable work yet to be done in the way of getting in individual arms that has bee., buried in the hills by t'le ladrones, and also in trying violators of the laws of war who have been captured during our campaign in this province. It is a great satisfaction to us all to have been here at the final end and it has been more than a pleasure to me to have enjoyed the eight months experience I have received here as Chief Quartermaster of a Brigade of 11,500 troops in active service. The main reason whv Malvar surrendered is that he absolutely could not exist outside any longer. We had troops everywhere and formed cordons around the mountains and marched up into them and through them and back again. The troops were constantly on the move, guided by friendly Philipons and accompanied by native troops. As a result Malvar found it impossible to lonrer withstand the American forces. We are also particularly pleased that tb charge has been made against the troops of this command for improper conduct and vitiation .of the laws of war. General Wheaton, our Department. Commander, sent a telegram of congratulation yesterday expressinothanks for the work performed by the officers and men ® stated that the method of warfare used bv the troon«? under General Bell might well be adopted as a model for campaign^in ?he future conduct of a civilized nation against semi-civilized tribes position ana mejthod of warfare In this Brigade has been aoproverby tee natives, in that a great mass of them finally orranizpd -into VinviHc « ^ went out after Malvar In person, under their own leadera ^h?^?® , .nust have been very discouraging to Malvar and his associates! ^ Whiier of the Martee™o?;s°Lrklni^^®nIuve!°?n°L™a?

It is the general belief here that Major Waller had orders to burn and destroy^}' but, of course, those orders were not in writing. It is too-bad that this question has come up in a court martial because it creates an unpleasant feeling among outsiders towards those who are working and striving in these Islands to uphold the dignity and sovereignty of the American Government. I notice in cable despatches received from the States that the question of the "Water Cure" is being agitated in Congress, There is no doubt that this method has been resorted to in many cases throughout the Philippine Islands, but I do know that General Bell and the other officers with whom I have served personally have given orders against such methods and do not approve of the same. General Orders No.100 provides for obtaining information from spies and unfriendly persons. The Punishment therein authorized is sufficient in case the enemy declines to speak, of course, it must be understood that the natives is deceitful above all things; that he cannot be treated in a nandy-pandy way; he does not understand it. The Spaniards used the "Water Cure" for extracting information from the native and they are used to it. In fact many of them will not tell unless this ""'ater Cure" is applied to them for the reason that they are afraid. That is, they to have it to say that they declined to give the information until they were ab solutely forced to, and the using of the Water Cure" has been accepted as a standard of force in these Islands. There has been very little of this indulged in these Islands .compared to the number of troops ^ here, but it cannot be denied that it has been resorted to in some cases I hope now to leave here the middle of May. I have nothing definite upon to base this assertion accept that the war is now entirelv over and I depend upon General Humphrey, the Chief Quartermaster, to arrange with the War Department for my return to the States. The cholera scare here is quite serious and I hope it will not become a very grave epidemic. It interfered greatly with our Militarv movements in that ships and supplies are quarantined at Manila and other places. Many deaths occur daily. It is the real Asiatic cholera and a very good thing to steer clear of. We are all very careful here and I hope we will be able to keep it oufc-of this provL^^e? I h^e read a copy of Secretary Roofs Staff Bill in the Army & Navy JourLl of February 22nd and I consider it an excellent Bill. iLidentlv if dLhL my chances of being a Brigadier General and also gives me fn oppoftuf?f like every other member of the supply department, of being a General. I should like the General Staff feature to pass? We ill hone General Corbin will be the next lieutenant-Ceneral of th^Arrrv and thll this will take place some time this summer. It is thought here that General P iles will be retired between now and Julv and fbat Cpnfir>ni p i will be appointed to succeed him. He retire?

First of all when I get back I wish to be ordered to report in person to the Quartermaster General at Washington and then secure a leave of absence.

Dear Sir: As one who ha- had some experience in the necessities, uha£;;es and cruelties of war, which always prevail during a campaign in an enemy's country, X am surprised at the position of your journal, and its biLterness against the alleged action of tlajor Glenn, Lieut. Congor and Asst. Surgeon Lyon. The testiniony of Sergeant Riley, upon which you base your attack onthese officers, goes to prove that they gave the water cure to a Filipino, wl.o had been made President of one oi' the Provinces of Luzon by our Government, who had taken the oath of allegiance to o\ir . country and then used his officirl position to cover his acts ^as captain of an insurgent company which was acting in arms against our army, and within our lines. Therefore, he was a traitor and a spy, and his every act was a violation of the laws of war, ani branded him an outlaw and guerilla. If these are the facts, under the us ages of war these officers were justified in what they did,- in fact, if they had shot the traitor they woiid never have been called to account, and in all probability,this ia what would have happened to himin the Civil V.ar. An officer lia- great latitude under such circumstances, and it is not safe or fair to condemn one for almost any act that detects a traitor andspy in arms against the Government which he has sworn to protect, and which has put him in a position of trust. You ignore entirely th.is aide of the que-tion, and only treat Major Glenn's acts as cruelties to ^.eaceable Filipino citi zens. I can remem ber when the journals of this country upheld and applauded an officer .ho , in the Civil War, ordered a man shot if he attempted to haul down the American flag, and cannot understand the present hysterics of some journals over the terrible violation of the laws of war in punishing a traitor caught in the act, with the '^'ater cure only. The treatment may have been severe, but it is not permianently harmful. I am astonished ttiat these fearfully wrought-up journals have no word of comniendation for our soldiers in the Philippines, iiiiho have suffered untold cruelites,assassinati:^ns, burning by slow fires, bureal alive, mutilation and atrocities, who haye suGmdtted to every inuignity without resentment or coiu^jlaint, and X have been greatly gr:tified over their excellent behavior under such trying circum stances. In th.eir coniments, these journals are very c areful not to say why these punishments are given to such traitors, knowing well if they did our people would look upon the acts as one of the nec essities of war, and would wonder at Ihe teniency of Major Glenn and his comn.and. Very truly yours, Grenville M. Dodge. •i. 167 April 1902 Washington, April 21, 1902 Major General Grenville M. Dodge, New York My dear General I am pleased to receive as I suppose from you a copy of your letter to the editor of the Evening Post with reference to the action of our army in the Philippines, and most cordially indorse every word you say. . While neither of hs have any disposition to encourage cruelties to Piliponos, I fully agree with you that one has taken the oath of allegiance and accepted office with the American government, and uses such office as a cover under which to plot against this government, may consider himself very fortunate if he is not put to death when his conduct is discovered. • With assurance of my high regard, I am Sincerely yours, Walter I. Smith 169 April 21 , 1902, General Grenville M, Dodge, #1 Broadway; New York City. My dear Sir:- In preparation for the coming centennial of the I am seeking to secure all of the tablets for Memorial Hall commenorating the twelve Army Commander's. I lack of this series only General Halleck and Hooker. For various reasons with which you doubtless are acquainted, General Halleck should not be without his tablet in this Hall and Hooker is too conspicious a figure to be omitted. It occured to me that you might be able -to refer me to some friends relatives, or associetes who would secure tlie necessary funds,^112.00 for each tablet. Your generous interest in the Academy is my apology for addressing you. Very sincerely yours. Ghas. W, Larned, m Jefferson Barracks, Mo. April 22nd, 1902, General Grenville M. Dodge, My dear General I wish to thank you most sincerely for your able and timely letter to the New York Post on the Usages of War, etc. quoted in the Globe Democrat this morning. People at home cannot—?nd i fear many do not want to understand the situation in the Philippines. They, the Filipinos understand war only in its most ruthless form. Those professing personal friendship and sincere loyalty to our government, and receiving pay for positions are furnishing the enemy with information and funds to carry on the war. They simply thought us big stupid good natured fellows. I often wondered at the patience and forbearance on our part. Almost any of them could have been hung as spies under the rules of civilized v/arfare and they would not have thought it extreme measures if we had put them to death. We have never had a war without a fire in the rear from people who would not risk their lives for their country but resort to perfidious conduct to damage those who do, I can hardly believe that great bulk of the intelligent people of the United States believe that just "as soon as a man becomes a 'oldier in his country's service t at he becomes a barbarian a ■ cut-throat, or even a "menace to our liberties'- as the' great W. J. Brvan talks to his unwashed. The way he talks of Militarism one ould think be became degenerated when he was a Colonel. If he was of any use then he knows he was a better man than ever and charged with grave responsibility. But the people ion't knov/ what to believe when those who ought to know things make grave allegatio.s and misrepresentations and 1 am glad that you have shed such a flood of light on this subject and I am sxire it will have far reaching effect. I am sorry I did not sevi more of you in Cuba but I was very busy closing out business then and feeling a little raw in my place. I went to Ft, Reno. Was there but a month and ordered here. It looks now as if 1 will have to settle down, but it is hai^d work after four years constantly on the wing, With sincere regai-d, Chas. Morton, Lt, Col. 8th Cav, 173 West Point, N. Y. April 23rd, 1902, My dear General i^odge: Your generosity to us might be called prodigal, 1 had no intention of imposing upon it further when I wrote. I was simply at a loss to know to whom to apply and thought you could direct me, I need not say how greatly we prize your open hearted and broad m ir.ded atitude toward the Academy, There are very few of your calibre, and we dn not fail to realize how very large is the measure of our obligation to you in the great matter, so near our hearts and now so happily brought to successful conclusion. We feel that your hand in the issue has been decisive and when the Academy clothed in new beauty and usefulness we shall not fail to record our gratitude to the stnong friend who in our need put his broad shoulder to the wheel of progress.

If it is your wish to give it I will send order at once upon receipt of check. ^incffely and gratefully yours. Chas. W. Lamed, April, 1902. 175 New York City, April 24, 1902, Personal My dear Mr. Secretary: I received your letter in relation to my letter to the Post. I have been receiving a great many letters from officers and citizens in relation to it, and they universally approve it, especially let ters corning from oldsoldiers v.ho kn-.w what the pr actice was in such matters in the Civil ^Var, and this is what Iwouh like to call to your attention, and which I think the President should consider. I do not think ycu can find an Instance in the Civil ^ar where the administration interfered in such cases except to save an officer. We were very strict against allowing enlisted men totake any punishment into their own hands, but when an olficer gave any punishment fob >the purpose of obtaining information, or to discover where arms, food or stock were hidden, orfor the parpose of guiding our troops, Mr. Lincoln and the ^rr Department held that it was a matter for the commanding officer j.n the field to attend to, as he would know all about it, and ifhe did not punish an officer they concluded there was no reason to interfere, and they did nothing. i know of many cases in which Mr. Lincoln inter'fered tosave officers who were being punished by their superior officers for cruelty. You know thai roops which came from the border states and states that were in rebellion were often revengeful for punishments and outrages inflicted upon their faii.ilies, and conietim.es took revenge. I be lieve the precedent established then is one that should be followed now. Most of the charges brought against officers now arefor acts committed two years ago, and it is a great wrong to hold up an officer so long afterwards for tl.ings that were done right under the eye and with the knowledge of his superior officers, and for which he was not brought to account at th.e time, ana this was never allowed in the Civil ^ar. No matter how many officers you bring to account i'or such things, you can never change the necessities and custoiis of war. Of course, people ^^ho ere against the war, or against the policy of the administration, who want to make trouble and would like to see us fail in the Philippines, would find fault with anything done, although they ii.ade no fuss about these matters when they oc curred. It is different where you punish anyone f^r treatment of prisoners, but even then great care must be taken to do no injustice to an officer. It is the duty of the administration to sustain our officers when they have not gone beyond the custons that obtain in all countries in war. I have talked with many people, and have yet to fine; one that believes our officers have done things not justi fied by the circumstances. Take the cases of the Maccabe scouts, and their case is not different from that of the Indians we enlisted in the Indian wars. -l-n spite of all we coulado they would scalp, and would kill women and children,and if you use that kind of mater ial in war you must expect that they will follow ttoeir customs. 176 Of course' the ariiiy daie : mattersi ors&y what they really th hxive actually done wrong or whethe been pursued is no:, after thewcr to nie if tue Government'; was going ters the place to begin' was in Glii true, the excesses were uncalled f ly committed fromthe single niotive With kind regards, not enter their protests in these .ink, not knowing /hether they r the policy that has heretofore is ovei', to be changed. It seems to nake any protests in such matnaihore, if •'newspaper reports are 'or and tithout excuse, and apparent' : of revenge. Very truly yours. Grenville K. Dodge. Hon. Leslie M.

I had known Mr. Morton from the t^me he came ^nto hebraska unt^'1 h^s death. He v/as a man of sterling qual^t^es, ver^r f^xed ^n h^ s op^n'ons, and was the father of Arbor Daj'- ^n Nebraska, wh^ch filled Nebraska w^ th trees throughout ''ts entire length and breadth. When I fl-rst traveled through Nebraska, after we left the M^ssour^ RWer, ti.ere were no trees ^n s^ght escept^ng where we crossed the ElkJ'Orn and the Loop Fork, but today there ^s hardly a section "n the whole state that does not have a tree upon 't, and th*s fact alone should ^ mmortal-'ze Morton. Morton became prom'nent ^n pol-'t^'cal 1^ fe; was a mem.'or of Cleveland's cabinet and was a great loss to the State of Nebraska. In a letter to one of his sons, 1 made the follov/ing statement ' ■'n relation to Mr. Morton: "No one appreciates more fully than I do the great loss sustained by Nebraska and our entire country. I became acquainted w^th h^m when he first cam.e to Nebraska, and have been an adm.irer of h^ s from that day to this, and I think our friendship has been mutual. I suppose there Is nobody who can judge better than I can the great work he has done for Nebraska. When I first traveled that ountry ^n the early fifties, almost from tl.e Missour-* r'ver to Denver and the mountain's without Seeing a tree, and when I was explorin'~ theccountry north of the usual traveled routes, It was very oppressive to me, and I used to think wlat a blessin" it would be if trees could be planted and made to grow. 1 can remember the first efforts along up the Platte Valley, and ;.ow rapidly they ; row af'.er your father took hold of it, and I do not know of a single act that has been of more benefit than this one of your father's." A full history of Col. Morton will be found on page 151, scrapbook 13. 179 April, 1902 New York City, April 28, 1902 fc y dear Colonel: i have received your favor of April 22nd. A great many letters of the same tenor have come to me. i have not received a single one that does not express the same view I take, and that all soldiers must take. It is very seldom I answer anything in the papers, but the matter had becomeso one-sided, and the army did not seem aisposed, or thought it was against regulations, to answer for tiself, that 1 thought somebody shouldstate the other side df the question. As you say, iu has already had a goodeffect here in the East, cs it has brought out a good many letters along tne same line, and the papers that were so agressive in this matter have discovered that they had taken too big a jjpb ontheir hands. I have always been a great friend of the army, and know how unjustly it has been punished for deeds tha twere m.isconstrued, and that people do not understand the effect of. There is nothing that pleases me so much as to see that General Smtith takes the pro per line in this matter, acknowledges the orders, asserts that they were right, an is going to stand by them. This will have great effect, because he is perfectly justified under the orders and regu lations that were in lorce during the Civil Vv'ar. General Order No. 100 drawn by Colonet Lieber, who was the Judge Advocate, defines the rights of an officer and his authority in an enemy's country under tiilitary Laws. I have been rather disappointed that the ad ministration did not take a difi'erent view of this. You know in the Civil ^<ar all such matters were left by the ^resident and Se cretary oi War to thcofficers in the field, who were present and knew the circumstances, and if they did not act it was priiria facie evidence that there Was no necessity for taking a ction, therefore the V.'ar Deijartnient always declined to take notice of such matters, and that sho.<ld be the case now. All tliese acts come under the eye of the comn.anding officer in the field, who knows the necessities. Tow years afterwards nobody can explain them ox' go back to the time and occastion . There is nothing more applicable in such cases than General Sherman's statement that "nothing counts after the fact." The case of General Smith is a little different, because they take notice of his acts at the time of the issuance of his orders, but in the cases of the other^ officers it is two years since the occurrences forwhich they are to be called to account. Thanking you for your letter, andregretting I was not able to see more of you when in Cuba, wl.ich I visited with great interest and satisfaction, I am. Truly and cordially yours, Grenville W. Dodge.

G . IV: . D. ■w. 11'.' • < t ' u ~ ■' . ■ ■..S , 4 181 April, 1902, New York City, April 30, 1902, Personal Ky dear Senator: I received your letter today. It is very evident that the Anti-Iiiiperialists are i-jroposing; to try to nia.;e capital out of the acts of soiTie of our oliicers in the war in the Philippines. ihey are not saying anything about China, where the cruelties on the part of the troops from all the diffenent countries were far beyond anything that has occurred ^in the Philippines. . I want to sug^.est what I think you should take up immediate ly with the leaders of the Senate, especially such men as Spooner, who was in the service and knows about these things. t.y suggestion is that you should pass in the Senate imniediately a resolution call ing upon the 'A'ar Department for a report of all the cruelties inflict ed upon our troops by the hilipinos froni the time we entered those islands. Let us have tiie other side of this question imniediately placed before the people, andcrush the plans of these anti-Imperial ists, and the people who are trying to hold up our troops. I see there is hesitation on the part of some Senators to determine what is proper and right in these matters. I t)iink it comes v.ith very bad grace for the Senator from Utah to talk about cruelties, if yuu go back to the history of the hQrmions andtheir actions in timies past. Take for instance the nassacre of Gunnision : nd his ^and of t-prmons dressed as Indians. I could recite and you doubtless remiembermany instances that occurred, even when I was in comnand there. Then take Colorado, from which state comes Teller, who now appears to be so absolutely dumfounded. Re had bettei' ollk back to the Chivington massacre, he was a minister at the head of a Regiment, went to Sandy Creek and wiped out a band of Indians who claimed to be friendly, and when I was oi'dered to investigate the matter a tremendous howl was raised, all Colorado in fact all west upheld the act, altbugh it was the cause of bringing on a general war with all the Indians south of the Yellowstone. Go back to the Civil Aar and note the action of Captain Anderson, •. ho captured a train of convalescent soldiers unar-nied, took th-crri out of the cars, stock them, up in line and shot them, and who also at the sanie time jumped on a party of our troops ana wi^ed then out, not taking any prisoner. Refer to the orders of Sheriian where we were instructed in our miarches to destroy everyth4,ng. BO the e eny could nut again occupy the country. Notice his orderwhen somie oiour troc^js were blown up by torpedoes planted underthe road on which we were marching, in which he instructed his escort, the 1st Alabama Cavalry to wipe out the country v/ithin a circle of i if teen miles, v/hich was done . Refer to Sheridan's order in the Shenandoah Valley, which was absolutely destroyed. Take the order I received to destr y tie Tennessee Valley from Bear River to Decatur, which I absolutely burned. These v.ere orders from princi pal officers in our arniy, and I only quote them to show the contrast between that time and the present. , 182 He used to issue orders holdiiij citizens guerrilla;... I'^low, these orders in the ?h so rr.uch agitation are in that same line . lor the purpose of striking tt.rror to tha dued within ninety days, and for his acti ing the Civil War he wo^Jld have'' received supei'ior officers as I did when 1 destroy If I understand it correctly, this order order, merely a vei'bal or^der, a)"id if your officer responsible for such things, how War would have escaped? Suppose right a come out with the kind of criticisri.s they army in the Philippines; how long do you gress would have kept silent on the subje responsible for the acts of ilippines which are causing Smith issued his order t island, and it was subon if itl had occurred durthe conm.endation ofhis ed the Tennessee Valley, of Smith's was not a written are going to hold every many officers in the Civil fter t[;e Civil War l.hey had are bringing against the supiiose our people and Con st . I also thin^ you should have a conl'erence with the President and Secretary of 'W^r about these tilings. I wrote Secretary Shaw a letter explaining what were the ijrecedents in such m.atters in the Civil War. It was left to the comiianding officer in the field, .and if he took no exceptions to what was done, kr. Lincoln and the War Lepartment always refused to, holding that no one could act intelligently unless they were on the spot and knew -the circumstances. If Smith had not made it understood by those natives what would happen if they kept the war up in all probability they would be fighting yet. One of the first principles' of war is to conouer a |)eace as soon as possible by making war as aggressive and cruel as possible. Sherman stated the case as follows: " I claimi that when we took Vicksburg by all the rules of civilized warfare the Confederates should have surrendered and allowed us to restore peace.in the land. I claim also that when we took Atlanta theyweie bound by every rule of civilized warfare to .surrender their cause, which was then hopeless and iL was clear as daylight that they were bound to surrender and return to civil life, but they continued the war, and the.n v;e had a right under the rules of civilized warfare to Commence a systeri: tliat would make them feel the power of the Governnient and cause themi to succumb. I had to go throd^h -Georgia to let them' see whaL war nieant. 1 had a right to de stroy, which I did, and I nade them feel the consequences of war so fully they will never again invite an invading army." Isimply quote t?:is because the action at Samar was after tie v.ar was over, and after those people should have surrendered. Then again Sherman was fight ing civilized epople, whole our action in t};e Philippines qas again st a savage people,- even more savage than the Indians of our country, and these criticisms now fron, our people com.e with bad grace, for t they have seen band after band of Indians wiped out, Dien, womien and children, every treaty violated so far as I know, with every In dian tribe, and the Indians driven without any protest from the At lantic to the Pacific. It seems to me that nen like Spooner and Dolliver should take these questions up and see th.at the other side to the controversy is heard, and a record of the outrages perpetrated by the Filipinos upon our people sl.ould be miade public, for the anti-Im.perialist press never refers to them. They had a necting at the Plaza last night, ® ^y Charles Francis AdariiS, Carl Lchurz Andrew Carnepie and others who-'were mrcle a comnitree {o gather u!^the cruelties §ommi^^^ by our soldiers. Let the ''ar Dei)artment publish a report of the cruelties of the Filipinos, and thfe good people will cease to take interest in this matter. Very truly yours, G . ^. Dodge . Ton. William B.

My dear General;- I am in receipt of your letter of April 26. 7/e are very much obliged for the information contained. The Executive Committee would be gratified if you would act as Chairman of the Reception Committee during the G. A. R. Encamp ment in October. It is probable that one large reception will be given. The Committee will perhaps number two or three hundred, and there will be either one or two Vice-Chairman. The duties will be almost nominal as we will attend to everything from this office. You have taken such an active part in many of the matters in which the Grand Army is in terested that I am sure it would be gratifying to everyome to have your name at the head of such a Committee. Promising you absolute relief from all work in the matter, and hoping for an early and favorable reply, I am. Yours very truly, B. H. Warner, Chairman ^ 1S5 April, 1902. New York City, April 30, 1902. Personal, ^;y dear Senator : I do not know that I will be in V/^shington Before I go A'est. I have to be in the Bluffs on the 10th. There is a general feeling everywhere among citizens and soldiers, that Congress is setting by quietly and not taking a ction., and allowing this n.atter to grow. It is not bigger than a hand now. and can be ni^iped in the bud by properaction. These enti-imperialists do not care a continental about our cruelties, their action is to cause political trouble. You in Washington have ti:e rmniunition to stop it, and should use it in.niediately. Kanna, who is at the. head of the National Oommitte'e, should in some way give our papers throughout the country notice to take up these matters and get right back at them, showing up natters in the Philippines as they actually are . If the testimony before the rhilii)pines Gomniittee has been printed, I wish you would send it to me. Trusting your visit to Iowa was a pleasant one, I aqi. Truly and cordially yours. G . Iw .

My dear General I just telephoned Capt. Hull at his Committe room ani he says he fears he will not be able to attend the dedication because of public business. If I could get transportation it would help me greatly and my salary is small here and Governor Shaw has not yet promoted me as I had reason to expect he would ere this. My daughter would like to go out with me if I could afford it but am so situated that it will be all I can do to afford it myself, but shall be there if I live and able to go. Truly your sincere friend, J. A. Straight, 810-12th N W Washington, D. 0. 189 May, 1902. New York City, May 1, 1902 to what he shall do. what our ofJleers have want that kind of work becLuse the laws of My dear Henderson: You can use Grant's letter, of which I will send you type written copy. Of course there were cruelties in the Philippines, but nothing coiripared with v/hat occurred in the Civil "ar, or in the Indian iVar of 18G5 and 6, and nothing has been done in the Philippines so far as I can see that is not fully justified under V.'ar Department orders. You must recollect that in the Civil >Var we were opposed by a civili_ed foe, but even then we shot people for harboring guer rillas. There are plenty of such cases in the army records; it was done under m.e . There was nothing in the -i-'hilippines more severe than the orders given by Grant, Shernian and others. You know ^hermian's decision was thatcfter a war had reached a place where the eneniy should surrender, then it should bemade so severe they wouh be forced to surrender. ^ou know he stated that lor that reason he had to go through Georgia and punish them, so they would never again allow an invading army to con;e into their state, etc. etc. Our troops in the ihilippines had to meet savages, and under orders of '''ar Department in such cases 1 aws of civilized warfare are SLispended, and it beconies a matter for the judgement of the officer as to what he shall do. You cannot punish them, or make a fuss about what our ofj icers have done there under those laws. If you do net want that kind of work change your laws, but you will neverdo that, because the laws of civilized warfare put out in order 10v; by the V.'ar Department, was a most carefully prepared order, as you and I know, and has received the approval of nearly all the nations. I had to act under it wi.en I commanded in l-issouri, and you know what war was there, also in the two years Indian war. These anti-imoerialists.are trying to make trouble for political effect only, and you and other leaders of our party vant to stand up to our army, and hold it right up. Your man Sibley that mal.e the speech in the house would have torn the uniform off Sherman, because I know of one case where torpedoes were placed in the road, and Sherman ordered Col. Spencer of the 1st Ala bama Cavalry to destroy and burn that country within fifteen miles of the spot, and you know what that meant; they did a good deal more than burn. What should b. aone imiiediately is for Congress to have from the »var Bepartn.ent a record of every case of cruelty on the part of the Filipinos, then take out the salient cases that occurred in our war. For instance the Chivington massacre in Colorado, where tl:e 1st. Colorado wiped out a band of Indians, mien, women and chilr. dren, who were un er protection of our officers, and who werea friendly tribe which they clainied were hostile. When they went to investigate that case the whole of Colorado was aroused against the investigation. '''hen this natter issettled our officers willcome out way ahead, for they were perfectxy justified in all they did under order 100. Smith's order was merely a threat, but it ac complished the purpose, and how n.any thousands of times in our war did our officers miake threats to the enemy that brought about re sults . 190 People who are squeamish now ought to go back to the time they forced us into this war, and see what was means. They are be ginning to get a little of ^feat you and I knew would occur, but there is no reason for complaint, If the atrocities, why don t they look et y are anxious to find the China war; they could get plenty of cases fron, there. Very truly yours. . Dodge . Ron. D. B. Henderson, Washington, D. C ioi-A.:",,'. 191 May, 1902 New York May 2, 1902 My dear Sir: ny return to the city ^ notice the death of your father, Hon. J. Sterling M^^rton, which was a great surprise to me. No one appreciates more fully than I do the greatloss sustained by Nebraska and our entire country. Ibecanie acquainted with hinn when he first came to Nebraska, and have been an admirer of his fron that day to this, and i think our friendship has been mutual. I used to be very imtimately acquainted with him, but in later years our duties have separated us, and i have not seen mjuch ol him. However, ^ have kept posted 'in everything he did, have watched his course and taken his paper. i suppose there is nobody who can judge better than I can the great work he has done for Nebraska. '"hen first travelled that country in the early fiities, almost from the ^^-issouri River to Denver and the miountains without seeing a tree, and when was ex ploring the country north of the usual travelled routes, it was very oppres ive to me, and 1 used to think what a great blessing it vould be if trees could be planted and made to grow. I can remeniber the first efforts along up the flatte Valley, and how rapidly they grew after your father took hold of iL, and I do not know of a single act that has been of more benefit than this one of your father's. You can travel these linesnow and never lose sight oi trees an", vegetation, I also appreciate, line many others, that when he became Secretary of Agiiculture he put into effect the great experience he had had, and gave the farmers and people practical benefits from these develop ments. -i- know his gre.t worth, and sympathize fully v/ith you and the rest of his family, and the whole country at his loss. Very truly yours, •^renville M. Dodge Paul Morton, Esq., Chicago, •'■11. 193 Mav. 1902 Batan^as, Batanp:as Prov. P. 'I. ' May 6, 1902 General G. M. Dodf^e, ' No.l Broadway, New York My Dear General; v/e are pcradually settling: down to ^^arrison life here in our tei'ritory. The past couple of weeks, however, have been exceedinf;ly . busy ones for the Quartermaster's Department for the reason that the tropps of the Bri/rade have been re-arranged and nssipjied to pei'manent stations. The p:eneral plan adopted is to have the Cavalry occupy the coast towns and the Infantry the interior. This is for the reason that the fora^^e for the Cavalry will not have to be hauled back from the coast. The 21st Infantr-y has been concentrated here in Batanp-as and is now beinp; loaded on the "MEADK" with a view of sailing tonight for h6me. To-day has been an exceedingly busy one for us here. We have already unloaded three boots, and have about finished loading the 21st "MEADE". and still have anSther ^arge 'V, V 4. come in, to unload. However, work does not bother • o? of Manila show that we have handled as more fast freight as possible. at this' The port, records since the first of December, than any other point outside of Manila. This will give you an idea of the amount of work which is done Sere! locally. Pr,o+ Root in •? his argument the before Army & the Navy Senate Journal, Committee, of recent favoring date, the that nassaro See. of his Army Bill, referred to your recommendations in the Report"of the Investigating Committee in the fall of '98. in which you made CeRartments. 1 hope the Sec +? 4^- because I think it is a very good measure I also been been thinking seriously whether it would not Heutant-GeneS be a good thing if I'haJe T roinn Co^Mn Corbin in case he should be made the Chief of the and General serve w??h Staff LL?af it InlnroJ^ in any .other position, When learning I get back great to de:?! whichl'^oul'd j not what legislation has been enacted, I will then know what one of these four year details. should like to have States about the so called^"Water^u^e" svstem^%mplo°^H^h^^" as a means of abstracting information n? employed by some officers fact that the "Water Curf" hae 194 very successfully, in that nearly every case, the person to whom the "Cure" was administered, has given information leading to the capture of arms. In a great many of the cases the person receiijing the "Cure" could "have been shot under'the laws of war, as published in General J Orders No.ICQ. I'do not wish to be considered as Lxpholding the i| "Water Cure", because, as a rule it is a bad practice, but there are circumstances v/here I would not orde,r a man shot, but where ,I would, if he was entitled to be shot order the^"Water Cure administered to him. Personally I habe never seen it administered and have never served with an officer who would permit its being used. The treachery of these natives is something appalling, and I fear a great mass of the people at home do not realize the class of persons with which our soldiers have had to deal. I trust, however, the matter may be settled to the satis faction of the people at home and to the credit of the officers concerned. Late news from Mindanao indicates a severe engagement wi.th the natives and their complete defeat. I think that another such fight will end the trouble there entirely.' There is no insurrection in Mindanao but the trouble is entirely local resulting from the killing of. am American by some Mnros. I trust and expect that by the time you read this letter the trouble in Mindanao will have entirely ended. Last week the B. igade Inspector General inspected my money accounts and pronounced them alright. I have disbursed one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars in small amounts since coming on duty here. I have five different money accounts in addition to Returns of Quartermaster pronerty and Ordnance property. ' " : I sincerely hope to be able to start"for the S+ates about the first of June. You will undoubtedly see General Porter upon his arrival there to participate in the West Point ceremony. I shall make every effort to see him before he goes back to Prance. I write this letter hurriedly in order to send it out in the mail this afternoon. Hoping you are well and with best wishes, I am "Very sincerely yours.

The fact is whatever doubt there is or has been in the minds of the peopel about matters in the Philippines has come fron. the minds of the people about m.atters in the Philippines has come from the misrepre sentation of the journals, which have been quoting the President and War Denartnient as not sustaining the officers in the" Philippines in th-eir acts. This coties from you authoritively and will settle that question, and satisfy those people who have been doubtful as to the acts of our aririy in the P'hilipj-jines. At the hoyal Legion last evening i read a paper upon this question, froii my own personal experience; a short paper, and I enclose it to you, as it h.as soni.e matters in it that you may not have knowledge of. It treats the matter from th.e point of the soldiers of the Civil '«''ar. There Wc re between five and six hundred present, and if you could have seen and heard the response you would know where the hearts of ti.e old soldiers are in this matter, and I want to say there is nothing that will gratify then, so niuch as your answer to the Senate. The Rev. Dr. hillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn, also spoke, and took even more advanced ground than 1 did on this Philippine q.iestion, ana if you could have heard the response of that gathering to his denunciation of those people who are attack ing our army, you could see where the heart and pulse of the country is. The Loyal Legion passed a resolution supporting the Govern ment in its action in the Philippines, also sent a dispatch to Gen eral Chaffee sustaining his action, and congratulating him upon his succes.:., and assuring him of their support. I hope that you will close up tl:ese court-martials. You have had two ofth.em, a n tixi t is sufficient. You mustremember that in most of the case^ it is two years after thefact and, as Sherman said: "Such acts don't count now." I go ''est Saturday to be gone about a month. Prom what I can see and learn there does not seem to be uuch show of having anything done in the Senate on the Armiy Bill, Trusting that your visit to Cuba was a pleasant one, and that you a re in good health, I an. , Very truly yours.

There has been a great attack upon, our army in the Philip pines, and I enclose you two articles I have written in its defence. There is no person could handle this question as ably as you, if you were at liberty to do so.

Dear Sir;- Your speech delivered on Wednesday Evening at the meeting of the New York Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion should be read and treasured by every Patriotic American, it has the true ring, showing none of the evasiveness sometimes met with when such subjects are before the people. I cherish in memory a father who fought in the 156th New York, who gave his life for his country at Cedar Creek, Va.,' Oct. 1864. When I read of the attacks made on the American soldier I sometimes wish the spirits of the heroes of '61 could make themselves visible to those cowards and braggarts in the U. S. Senate who hadn't the courage to fight in '61 or '98, there would be numbrous cases of "died from heart failure." Please accept the heartfelt thanks'of one who appreciates to the fullest ^bur'feplendid defense of the American soldier, the living and the dead. Respectfully yours, Edward H. Larkin, 429 Pacific St. 2C3 ^'ay, 1902 New York City, iVay 9, 1902. ky dear Cortelyou; I enclose clipping from today's "Sun", which the President might be interested in reading. Secretary hoot's letter to the Senate has cleared the air greatly/ in tiiis natter, and ^ wish, if it is possible, that the President would in his own way make clear the difference between cruelties and atrocities ofwar that sometimes occur unauthorized or against non-combatant people, or people at peace, doing nothing against the Government, and cruelties or atro cities that occur under the ordeis cf an officer upon an enemy who has violated the laws of war. No ones makes the division, but they quote the President as thougii he was against l)oth, orwouM courtmeitial an officer who was guilty of either. Of course I cannot conceive that he would do this, becau-e it would be a reflection upon every officer oi' the Civil < ar fron; Lincoln down. The good peoijle ol' this country are beginning to understand the case, and are rapidly lining up in behalf of the little army that just now needs the support and influence of tliose who know about these thing.s Truly and cordially yours, ' Grenville M. Dodge George E. Cortelyou, Esq., Secretary to the President, 'Vashington, u. c. 205 1902. On Saturday May 10, 1902, I left for Council Bluffs, arriving there ob May llth. On May llth, we unveiled the monument to Col. W. H. Kinsman. The proceedings were as follovrs: COLONEL KINSMAN'S GRAVE. RENEWED EFFORTS TO LOCATE IT ON THE BATTLE FIELD.—THE REMAINS MAY THEN BE BROUGHT TO THIS CITY.—WAS IN COMMAND OF THE TWENTYTHIRD IOWA WHEN KILLED.—HAD ENLISTED WITH GENERAL DODGE FOR THE CIVIL WAR.—SWORD PRE SERVED IN COUNCIL BLUFFS G. A. R. HALL. Efforts to locate the grave of Col. W. H. Kinsman are to be renewed and if the spot is located it is likely that the bones of the dead soldier will be brought to Council Bluffs for interment. Colonel Kinsman, when he fell in battle at Black river bridge near Vicksburg on May 17, 1863, expressed the wish that he be buried where he fell. The request was complied with and he was laid to rest beneath a tree on the battlefield. The exact location of the,grave was afterwards forgotten, and on several occasions efforts to locate it have been without avail. The mat ter is now to be taken up by General Grenville M. Dodge. W. H. Kinsman was in the real estate business in Council Bluffs when the civil war began. Like others he felt inspired to go to the front for the preservation of the union, and went out with the Fourth Iowa infantry, first as second lieutenant and afterwards as captain, and by the time of his death he had at tained to the colonelcy of the Twenty-third Iowa. TO SEARCH FOR LOST GRAVE. General Dodge makes known his intention to search for the grave of Colonel Kinsman in a letter to Charles Aldrich of the state historical department at Des Moines, and says he will take the matter up this fall with the purpose of carrying the search to a successful conclusion. At the time of his death Colonel Kinsman was in the command of General Dodge and the Gen eral has been interested in all the efforts that have been made to locate the lost grave and bring the remains back to Iowa.

Henry Dean of Des Moines and a legislative com mission, together with General Dodge, have searched heretofore for the spot in vain, but this time the General expects to devote so much time to his mission that the spot will be discovered. Mr. Dean was among those who buried Colonel Kinsman, but when he undertook to locate the spot so many years afterward he was baffled and had to give it up. If the grave is located the bones will be taken up and brought back to Iowa for interment, and it is thought that it will be the desire of General Dodge to bring them to this city. SWORD IN G. A. R. HALL. All veterans of the civil war living in Council Bluffs take an interest in the search for the lost grave of Colonel Kinsman. Abe Lincoln post has hanging in its hall a sword that belonged to Colonel Kinsman when he was serving in the capacity of lieutenant. After the death of the Colonel it came into the pos session of Captain Kirscht, now deceased. Captain Kirscht sent it to relatives of the dead Colonel in Virginia, thinking they would like it as a keepsake, but it was immediately returned, the Virginian relatives still manifesting a dislike for the union sol dier to this extent. This was some years ago, however. The sword was then given by Captain Kirscht to John Lindt, with the understanding that it should be placed in the keeping of the G. A. R. post, and it is now there. The further understanding was had with Mr. Lindt that in case the Grand Army post should disband or anything happen to the organi zation he should have the sword at his disposal. It is now the wish of Mr. Lindt, in case of the post's dissolution, that the sword be sent to Mr. Aldrich to be added to the state's historical collection at the capitol at Des Moines.—Nonpareil, Sept. 12, 1901. i'.'' ■ .1 ■'# .Aan/'i* <."? .

General Grenville M. Dodge, who arrived yesterday for a visit to his home city,, has just received word of the location of the grave of Col. W. H. Kinsman, the gallant commander of the Twenty-third Iowa regiment, whose resting place on a southern battlefield has been unknown for many years. Colonel Kinsman's body has been disinterred and is now enroute to this city, where General Dodge plans to have it buried with all the honors due the noted warrior. The remains are expected to arrive either today or tomorrow and will be placed in the re ceiving vault at Fairview cemetery until arrangements are made for the final interment. DUE TO GENERAL DODGE. It is due entirely to the energy and patriotism of General Dodge that the unknown grave of Colonel Kinsman has at last been found so that the body of the famous Council Bluffs soldier may rest finally in the city which was his home before he en listed in the service of his, country. This is the second attempt General Dodge has made to locate the body of Colonel Kins man, the first having been several years ago, since which unsuc cessful search General Dodge has ever been hopeful of locating the lonely grave. A short time ago General Dodge learned that J. A. Straight of Washington, D. C., formerly of this city and a lieutenant in the Twenty-third Iowa regiment under Colonel Kinsman, and Jesse Truitt of Winterset, also a veteran who had seen service in the same regiment, had assisted in the burial of Colonel Kins man and were certain they could locate the grave. General Dodge sent them south about a week ago, and they have tele- , •' w ». ,1 ■ ■ ■ j,- */V' ,'<'f J 10 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. graphed him here that the grave was easily located by them and that they are now enroute to the city with the casket. COLONEL KINSMAN'S HEROIC DEATH. Colonel Kinsman fell at Black river bridge in Mississippi not far from Vicksburg, May 17, 1863. He was at the head of his regiment and was about to mount the enemy's battlement, when he fell with a mortal wound in his breast. It was Colonel Kinsman's dying request that he should be buried near where he fell and he was accorded a grave there on the battlefield. A board marked his resting place, but it disappeared in a few years and then all visible trace of the grave was lost. Not till Lieuten ant Straight and his comrade, Jesse Truitt, visited the old battle field a week ago, was its location discovered. They have ad vised General Dodge in their telegram that the grave was reac- > ily found by them in the yard of an old farm house near Black bayou. Miss., which had been used as a hospital by the Twenty- i third Iowa regiment during its campaign in that vicinity. General Dodge had not had time yesterday to consult with any of his comrades in Abe Lincoln post, G. A. R., concerning the arrangements for the burial of Colonel Kinsman here and consequently could not make any definite announcement in re gard to the funeral. It is probable, however, that the casket when it arrives will be placed temporarily in a receiving vault and kept there until May 17, next spring, the thirty-ninth anni versary of the battle in which the gallant Iowa officer fell, when, as General Dodge suggests, the remains will be consigned to their last resting place with all due honor. OLD REGHIENTS MAY COME. It is probable that the surviving veterans of the old Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa regiments will be invited to meet in thif city on that day and assist in the high tribute that will then be paid their famous comrade. Both of these regiments have just claims on Colonel Kinsman as he enlisted in the Fourth under General Dodge and had been placed in command of the Twen ty-third about nine months before his death. Colonel Kinsman first came to this county in the early days as a school teacher and was for several years employed in Hazel Dell township. He enlisted in the frontier guard company 207 , t' t-'rijii/ii O- V ... COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. ii raised by General Dodge in the latter part of the '50's. That was one of, if not the first state militia company ever organized in Iowa. General Dodge was captain of that company and Colonel Kinsman, one of its lieutenants, Colonel Benton of the Twenty-ninth Iowa having been the other commissioned officer. The Council Bluffs company entered the Fourth Iowa regiment raised by General Dodge, who was appointed its colonel, as Company B on July 3, 1861. Colonel Kinsman later became captain of Company B. On August 2, 1862, he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the Twenty-third Iowa regiment and on September 9, the same year, rose to the rank of colonel of the regiment. A NONPAREIL CORRESPONDENT. Concerning Colonel Kinsman, Col. John H. Keatley, now of Washington, D. C., says in an early history of Pottawattamie county: "The name of Colonel Kinsman is the especial property of Council Bluffs. His remains rest in an unknown grave in Mis sissippi, where he fell at the Black river bridge. He came to the county as a school teacher, and obtained employment in Hazel Dell. Few knew his origin, but he rapidly made friends and took part in the correspondence in the Nonpareil, attracting attention by the quaintness and humor of some of his para graphs. Among the first to offer his services to the country, and doomed to lose his life on the battlefield, his gallant career has COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. COLONEL KINSMAN'S REMAINS HERE.

After forty years' absence, thirty-eight of which were passed in an unknown unnamed southern grave, all that is mortal of Col. William H. Kinsman, rests once more in his home city. Forty years ago young Kinsman, full of life, full of hope and ambition, went forth to battle for his chosen country as a lieutenant in the first Council Bluffs company in the Fourth Iowa regiment under command of Col. Grenville M. Dodge. He rose rapidly in com mand until he had attained the rank of colonel of the Twentythird Iowa regiment, in the lead of which regiment he fell mor tally wounded at Black river bridge, Mississippi, May 17, 1863. Buried there during the excitement and hurry of war, his grave was soon unmarked and unknown. Years passed without its discovery, though several attempts were made to find his re mains and bring the body back to Iowa. Yesterday, however, a small box arrived in the city by express from Vicksburg, Miss. It contained all that remains on earth of Col. William H. Kins man. Today in a handsome casket it will be taken with all the honors of war and peace to the cemetery where it is to rest for ever amid those who cherish the memory of the great hero. Maj.-Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, the friend of his youth, whose noble devotion even after years of death, has brought all this about. To him, great and good as he is, this act of patriotism to country and loyalty to comrade, will ever be a bright spot in the history of his wonderful life. CEREMONIES FOR TODAY. As soon as General Dodge was advised yesterday morning of the arrival of Colonel Kinsman's remains, he issued the fol lowing letter, which fully explains the arrangements for the 2C8 COL. W. H. K-ENSMAN MEMORIAL. V funeral procession and services that are to be held today in honor of the noted dead, whose memory all Council Bluffs, all Iowa, especially reveres: "Council Bluffs, Iowa, Nov. i8, 1901.—(To the Editor of The Nonpareil.)—Dear Sir: The remains of Col. W. H. Kins man have been found by Lieut. J. A. Straight and Jesse Truitt of the Twenty-third Iowa infantry, who were with him when he died in battle at Black bayou bridge, Mississippi. The remains are now in the city and will be taken to Fairview cemetery Tuesday, November 19, at 2 o'clock p. m., and deposited in the vault of Hon. Walter I. Smith, who has kindly tendered it for that purpose. "The ceremonies are in charge of Abe Lincoln post, G. A. R., of this city, and I extend to all soldiers and sailors of the civil and Spanish wars, and all organizations of this city a cordial in vitation to take part in honoring the memory of our distinguish ed citizen and soldier. "It has been arranged that the Dodge Light Guard, the High School Cadets, Abe Lincoln post, G. A. R., Union Veteran Legion and such other organizations and citizens as desire to take part, shall assemble at Lunkley's undertaking establishment on upper Broadway tomorrow at 2 p. m. "The only ceremonies at this time will be the army ritual at the vault, as it is intended hereafter to erect a suitable monument to Colonel Kinsman, and at that time it is expected that his comrades of the Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa infantry will be present and aid in his final burial. John Lindt of Abe Lincoln post, G. A. R., will act as marshal on the occasion and application should be made to him by any person requiring any further information. "The pallbearers for Colonel Kinsman will be three non commissioned officers of the Dodge Light Guard, three non commissioned officers of the High School Cadets, and the honor ary pallbearers will be four comrades of Abe Lincoln, G.

In accordance with the above letter from General Dodge, marshal of the day, John Lindt, yesterday afternoon announced the following order of the funeral procession, which will march from Lunkley's on upper Broadway to Fairview cemetery. Mar shal Lindt has arranged for the march to start promptly at 2 o'clock and requests all societies desiring places in the procession to report to him at Lunkley's by 145 p. m. The order of the procession is as follows: Platoon of Police. Wall McFadden's Drum Corps. Maj. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge and Marshal John Lindt in Carriage. Dodge Light Guard. High School Cadets. Hearse, with Guard of Active Pallbearers, Afoot. Honorary Pallbearers—Four Citizens, Four Members of Abe Lincoln Post, G. A. R., and Four Members of Union Veteran Legion, all Afoot.

Woman's Relief Corps of Abe Lincoln Post. City Officials. Civic Organizations. Citizens Afoot and in Carriages. Capt. M. A. Tinley of the Dodge Light Guard announced last evening the selection of the following non-commissioned officers of his company, in accordance with the request of Gen eral Dodge, to act as pallbearers for the remains of Colonel Kinsman today: Sergeant Green, Sergeant S. E. Anderson, Corporal Peterson. On the same detail Capt. Carl Pryor of the High School Cadets has named Sergeant Van Order, Sergeant Robertson and Corporal .Schnorr. The honorary pallbearers from the G. A. R. post and the Union Veteran encampment were not selected last evening. The box containing all that remains of Colonel Kinsman's body, as stated in the letters of Lieutenant Straight and Com rade Jesse Truitt, arrived in the city yesterday morning. It came by the Adams express from Vickburg, Miss., nearbv Black bayou, and was unaccompanied save for another and smaller box which contains relics of Colonel Kinsman and the place where he was killed, gathered by the two veterans who located the lost grave. GRAVE EOCATERS NOT HERE. After recovering the remains and forwarding them to this city. Lieutenant Straight returned to his home in Washington and Jesse Truitt came back to his home at Winterset. They were both in Colonel Kinsman's regiment, the Twenty-third Iowa, and assisted in his burial. Lieutenant Straight was for several years a resident of Council Bluffs and while here married the adopted daughter of the late D. C. Bloomer. In accordance with the suggestion of the two veterans, who did such excellent work in recovering the remains, the box was not opened and was taken at once from John Lindt's office, to which it had been directed by request of General Dodge, to Lunkley's undertaking establishment on upper Broadway. There, as soon as General Dodge had made a personal selection of a handsome black broadcloth casket, the precious little box was deposited in its final resting place. The box, as it came from Black bayou, is but two and a half feet long and fourteen inches square, but it contains every bit of all that now remains of Colonel Kinsman's body and the coffin in which he was first buried, as explained in the letters of Lieutenant Straight and Comrade Truitt. INSCRIPTION ON CASKET. On the casket has been placed a silver plate upon which General Dodge has had the following inscription engraved: BORN 1834 WILLIAM H. KINSMAN COLONEL TWENTY-THIRD IOWA INFANTRY killed in battle at black bayou, miss., MAY 17, 1863 When it came to preparing the inscription for the plate yesterday it was discovered that no one in the city had any I I , * 'T p{ I#. :(<5 , ■ •V :i .>», i6 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. record of the date of birth of Colonel Kinsman, so little was known here of his early history until he came to Council Bluffs shortly before the outbreak of the civil war. General Dodge, however, had some years ago written an article on the life of his former comrade in the first militia company of Council Bluffs, and had placed it among the records of the State Historical so ciety at Des Moines. A telegram to Curator Aldrich brought the reply that General Dodge's article showed that Colonel Kins man was born at Cornwallis, Kings county. Nova Scotia, in 1834, but the exact date in the year was not given. COLONEL KINSMAN'S SWORD. ^ The sword which Colonel Kinsman wore during the early part oi his service in the army is now among the highly treas ured relics of Abe Lincoln post of this city and occupies an honored place in a glass case in its hall in the Everett block. This sword was presented to the post by John Lindt, to whom it was given by Captain Kirscht several years ago. Colonel Kinsman post of Des Moines, which was named after the gal lant Council Bluffs colonel whose remains are now to be buried here, is believed to possess the sword that he wore when stricken with the rebel bullets at Black bayou. The Des Moines post has made several efforts to locate the grave of Colonel Kinsman that the remains might be buried in the capitol city, but were never able to succeed. HOW GRAVE WAS FOUND. lieutenant straight and JESSE TRUITT TELL OF THEIR SEARCH. General Dodge yesterday received the following letter from Lieut. J. A. Straight of Washington, D. C., and Jesse Truitt of Winterset, Iowa, which gives an excellent description of their search for the lost grave of Colonel Kinsman; their success in finding the remains; certainty of identification, and the ship ment to this city for final interment: "War Department, Vicksburg National Military Park Com mission, Vicksburg, Miss., Nov. 15, 1901.—(Maj. Gen. G. M. 210 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. Dodge, Council Blufifs, la.)—Dear General; I have just re turned from Black river bridge, having been successful in find ing the remains of our friend. Colonel Kinsman. Mr. Truitt will leave for Iowa on the 11 p.m. train tonight. "We have boxed all that remains of the Colonel, packing it with as much care as was possible under the conditions' and we suggest that a coffin be ready to inclose the box just as we have shipped, so that the funeral arrangements may be concluded at the proper time, without changing from the present box. "We found it difficult to locate the grave at first, as a change had been made in the road, the house had been burned from which our measurements had been taken and the two witness trees from which I had measured to the grave had been cut down and the stumps destroyed; old buildings had been erected some thirty years ago in their immediate proximity to the grave, and a cistern or sink had been dug, the dirt having been thrown out, partly on top of the grave, thus making it impossible to trace from landmarks I had designated; thus it became necessary to trench the ground around the entire area between the old road and the ground as I remembered it. "We finally found his body underneath the cistern wall in part, after having discovered the roots of the old trees and we have secured the larger portion of the anatomy, together with the teeth in perfect condition, a large portion of the head and the important larger bones of the arms and legs, some buttons and portions of his boots. I also found his pipe, which I remember his smoking the night previous to the battle. From the fact that the body has lain partly in water for the last seventeen years, the most of each year would of necessity destroy the buttons and other insignia, if he had them on at the time of his death. "One thing Mr. Truitt and myself, as well as Mr. Oldham, also of the Twenty-third, are positive that we have all that is left of Colonel Kinsman, confirms me in saying that we have been eminently successful and fortunate in securing as much of his remains as we have. "I have secured some shells and other relics from the im mediate locality where the Colonel fell and have cut several canes as mementos of the identical spot on which he received his death wound on the breastworks. 1 /aHui'ih. > "'''^ .' '^ '* * , i8 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. "I have seen it stated by some one in the Des Moines Regis ter that Colonel Kinsman was buried on the spot where he re ceived his death wound, but this is a mistake, as every member of the Twenty-third infantry present on that day knew so well. His first wound was received within twenty feet of the top of the banks of the Black river, the bullet passing through his body and through the sword belt. The regiment left him lying' upon the ground and he overtook the boys after they had passed through the bayou and had mounted the rifle pits, the enemy retreating. Some stray shots struck him as he rushed through the bayou and up the breastworks, while he was waving his sword urging the boys onward, the second shot passing through the sword belt from an opposite direction and through the body. This shot was fired by some Tennessee troops as they were leaving the rifle pits on the retreat. "We found the spot upon which he fell, the trees still stand ing under which he was carried by myself and others so that he might lie in the shade until the hospital corps should come upon the ground to take him away. In the course of an hour after he was home by four of the strongest members of the Twenty-third to the open pasture lot adjoining the residence of Colonel Mar shall, where he died in the evening and was buried within a few feet of the stretcher on which he lay. I have taken the liberty of repeating this story so that you may cause the same to be cor rectly given out to the newspapers of Iowa. "I passed over the entire line of breastworks today with Colonel Marshall, the owner of the plantation on which this bat tle took place, and I find a large portion of the same in much the same condition as when we fought that memorable battle. I have had potographs made of the same in sections so that the comrades of the Twenty-third and Fourth Iowa who may wish can have copies thereof, showing the line of breastworks and the ground over which the Twenty-third made such a valiant charge. The ground is now in cotton and the cotton hills are about as rough as they were on the memorable 17th of May. "With the kindest wishes for yourself and all the comrades, we subscribe ourselves, yours truly, J. A. Straight, Jesse Truitt." 211 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 19 LETTER TO CAPTAIN LINDT. FURTHER EXPLAINS THE FINDING OF COLONEL KINS MAN'S REMAINS. The following letter was also received yesterday by Capt. John Lindt, in whose care the remains of Colonel Kinsman were expressed to this city, from Lieut. J. A. Straight; "November 16, 1901.—(Capt. John Lindt, Council Bluffs, la.)—My Dear Comrade: I have dispatched by express the re mains of Colonel Kinsman last night directed to your care. We did not enclose them in casket for the reason that we had no means of obtaining one except we came to Vicksburg, and after having packed them securely in the box we thought best to ship direct to you, leaving the comrades at Council Bluffs discretion as to the kind of casket they would have for the final entomb ment of what is left of our comrade. "I wish to add some additional information to what I gave in my letter directed to General Dodge last evening, as to the history of the burying of Colonel Kinsman on May 18, 1863, that appears to my mind as proper to be incorporated as a part of the history of the case, and I do so because of the general impression that has existed among the people of Iowa as to the spot where Colonel Kinsman fell. "The commissioner formerly sent to the battle ground, some years ago, labored under the impression that our colonel was buried at the spot where he received his mortal wound and they dug over a space something less than half an acre, under the im pression that they would find the body at that point. Colonel Marshall, the owner of the plantation, gave this committee con siderable credit for energy and ability in the way of excavation, but as they were at least a half mile from the true location of the body, their energy was expended for naught. "Alongside of the grave of Colonel Kinsman was buried on the same day the body of Mr. Lyon, the sutler of the Twentythird, and his body was taken up and returned to Iowa within a short time after the close of the war. We found this empty grave on the east side of where we found the remains of Colonel Kins man, thus proving beyond a doubt that our measurements and aN.EN.*i.;v 20 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. landmarks made in the memorandum book thirty-eight years ago were correct. "We hope that your post will move in the matter of erecting a suitable monument, not too expensive, but neat and appro priate to the death of so good a man as our brave colonel, and that the unveiling of the same be made a subject for reunion on the 17th of May next, and that a special effort be made to have every living member of the Fourth Iowa, as well as the Twentythird, present on that occasion. "I know you will appreciate the fact that General Dodge should be given all honor for the determined effort he has made to secure the remains of Colonel Kinsman. He has shown surpassing love for his friend of the early war time and seems to have given his heart's best love to the young man that he took such pride in when he enlisted in the Fourth Iowa, in 1861, and afterwards became a captain in that regiment. "Council Bluffs can afford to honor the Colonel by render ing all the assistance needed to erect the monument as a mark of respect to one of their most honored soldier boys. Fraternally yours, J. A. Straight." NOTICES FOR FUNERAL. G. A. R.—All members of Abe Lincoln post No. 29, C. A.

Council Bluffs is today honored by having committed to its guardianship the sacred remains of the gallant Colonel Kinsman. The story of how he loved the flag more than life, of how his comrades laid him at rest on the southern field, and how after the many years have passed they have now brought him back to his beloved and loving Iowa is told in another column and will be read with thrilling interest by all. This afternoon the various military and civic organizations of the city, all soldiers and sailors, whether members of local organizations or not, are invited to take the places provided for them in the procession, in which all other patriotic citizens are also urged to join, to escort with due honor the casket to the receiving vault. No appeal is neccessary to the patriotic heart of Council Bluffs to thus give befitting recognition of the honor conferred upon it in being entrusted with such a sacred charge and to pay due tribute to the service and sacrifice of such a hero. ^ - >■ ■ --. ,. 'i : : . 22 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. Added interest in the event is caused by the presence of General Dodge whose generous ministration of love for his com rade of camp and field has resulted in the searching out of the southern grave and the removal of the body to the old northern home. He is busying himself with arrangements for a perma nent memorial for the fallen hero and in such plans and purposes he will be given the ready support of the patriotic citizens of Council Bluffs.—Editorial, Nonpareil, Nov. 19, 1901.

RITUAL READ OVER FLAG-COVERED CASKET.—COLONEL KINSMAN'S RE MAINS TO REST IN SMITH FAMILY VAULT UNTIL MONUMENT IS COMPLETED NEXT MAY. Though thirty-eight years have passed since Col. William H. Kinsman fell at the head of his regiment, the Twenty-third Iowa, in the battle of Black bayou, the last stand of the confed erates before retreating to Vicksburg, Council Bluffs yesterday carried his remains to Fairview with all the honors as if the hero had just gone to his reward. With one of the most imposing processions of young and veteran soldiers ever seen in the city, the remains were borne to the cemetery and placed in the tomb." This, however, was not a final tribute to the gallant Council Bluffs colonel, for on May 17, 1902, the thirty-ninth anniversary of his death in battle, it is proposed to dedicate a handsome monument near which his remains may rest forever, placed there by the survivors of the Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa regi ments, who knew him best as a comrade in arms for his choser countrj'. All the arrangements for the funeral as planned by MaJ Cen. Crenville M. Dodge, were carried out in excellent manner w 213 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. yesterday by the participants. Monday morning's Nonpareil gave the first news to the people of Council Bluffs that Colonel Kinsman's remains had been located and were enroute to this city for interment. And under the energetic leadership of Gen eral Dodge but a day was required to prepare one of the best tributes ever rendered a returning hero, even though he had lain cold in death for nearly forty years. LIKE A MEMORIAL DAY. The home-coming of Colonel Kinsman was the occasion of a second memorial day scene here for this year. Despite the short notice that had of necessity been given of the arrival of Colonel Kinsman's remains, nearly loo old soldiers came forth for the last march with their former comrade. A detail from the Dodge Light Guards and a full company of the High School Cadets were also on hand to pay tribute to the hero who had preceded them years ago as an officer of the first military com pany ever organized in Council Bluffs. City officials also came to attest their regard for the noble dead. All people paused in reverence as the solemn cortege passed. Thus all hpnor and glorj- was here rendered to the hero, whose memory has been cherished already a generation. CASKET WRAPPED IN FLAG. Wrapped in the flag for which he had so nobly fought for and died, the casket containing all the mortal remains of Colonel Kinsman was viewed by scores of people as it lay in state at Lunkley's morgue yesterday morning and up to the hour of the funeral in the afternoon. On the casket were placed magnolia leaves and cotton blossoms picked recently close by where the gallant Colonel fell mortally wounded as he was leading his regi ment against the enemy. The sword which young Kinsman wore as he went to the front, a lieutenant in the first company to enter the war from Council Bluffs, also lay on the casket until it entered the tomb, when the sword was again returned to its place of honor in the hall of Abe Lincoln post. Soon after 2 o'clock the active pallbearers, non-commis sioned officers each from the Dodge Light Guard and the High School Cadets tenderly bore the casket from the morgue and A-'' itTj. ni V r. r' >' ■ V i . i, -1 .. •/) .■; 24 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. placed it in the waiting hearse. As they passed the honor guard of militiamen at present arms and the group of waiting citizens in the short walk to the funeral car, it was a scene most im pressive of the reunited country, an event brought about by such heroes as the one thus honored. BORNE BY THE BLUE AND GRAY. On the right of the casket were the three guardsmen clad in the blue of the north, while on the left side walked the three cadets clad in the gray of the south, all however giving shoulder to the precious burden which they gently bore. Looking down the street a little further one could see the long line of old vet erans of the civil war, who had nobly fought that the country might not grow less; glancing in another direction could be seen the young veterans who had fought that the country might grow greater; and another turn of the eyes brought to view the youth ful cadets, well drilled that they may defend this reunited and greater country. Such was the lesson in patriotism that General Dodge by his generosity and love of country and of comrade, made it possible to be taught in this city yesterday. None better can be con ceived. PROCESSION MOVED SLOWLY When the casket had been safely placed in the hearse for its last ride, marshal of the day, Captain John Lindt, gave the com mand for the procession to march and the long column slowly moved westward on Broadway to Bryant street, thence east on Bryant to the Oakland route to Fairview cemetery. The solemn procession was headed by a platoon of police men under command of Capt. Dixon Denny. Then came Wal lace McFadden's fi fe and drum corps softly playing a martial funeral march. It is interesting to note that Wallace McFadden, as the old soldiers say, "drummed up" the company in this city with which young Kinsman started for the war.

Aside from General Dodges great interest and success in ^iaving the long lost grave of Colonel Kinsman located and the 1 emains brought to his home city for final interment, his pres- £ :nce yesterday was most fitting. It was as a lieutenant under I jiaptain Dodge that Kinsman first donned a uniform in the ser- ■,Mce of his state. That was in the original Dodge Light Guard, « le first militia company ever organized in western Iowa. As ; I - lieutenant under Colonel Dodge, Kinsman enlisted for his I juntry. As a captain he fought beside Colonel Dodge at Pea ■vidge. As a lieutenant-colonel he served in the south with Brigadier-General Dodge. As a colonel he died, now to be brought to his last resting place by his still faithful friend, Major-Ceneral Dodge. Capt. M. A. Tinley and Lieutenant Mather of the Dodge Light Guard followed the carriage of their generous benefactor and after them came a firing squad from the Dodge Light Guard under command of Sergeant Van Order. The High School Cadets were next in line under conimand of Capt. Carl Pryor. They made an excellent showing in their West Point uniforms, white leggings and belts. HEARSE AND PALLBEARERS. The hearse with the flag-enfolded casket followed the cadets. Close by the funeral car, on either side, marched the active pall bearers, Sergeant Thomas Rutherford, Sergeant Anderson and Corporal Peterson from the Dodge Light Guard and Sergeant Van Order, Sergeant Robertson and Corporal Schnorr of the High School Cadets. Beside the active pallbearers marched the twelve honorary pallbearers. They were as follows: Four citi zens chosen by General Dodge, Hon. John Beresheim, John Beno, P. C. DeVol and Leonard Everett; four members of Abe Lincoln post, C. A. R.; Captain Seth Craig, who was the first commander of Company B and who was succeeded as captain by Lieutenant Kinsman; H. J. Chambers, J. W. Davis and W. H. Woodring; four members of Union Veteran Legion, En campment No. 8, R. N. Merriam and F. M. Dalton, who were members of Company B with Captain Kinsman; Robert Beecroft and L. Sherwood. COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. Abe Lincoln post No. 29, Grand Army of the Republic, which General Dodge is commander, came after the hearse, wl. its colors furled with the badge of mourning. Encampment N 8 of the Union Veteran Legion, of which General Dodge i also an honorary member, was next in line with its battle d; Irt also draped. Other veterans of the civil war joined with the' 1 , two commands. William Campbell, who was a member of Cor ? pany B with Kinsman, was among the veterans in line yesterday OVER EIGHTY VETERANS MARCHED. ! Altogether over eighty old soldiers participated in thl march to the cemetery. It was the best showing made by tl ''] i veterans for a number of years and considering the age and ii firmities of the men racked by war, the long march behind his' remains to their last resting place in the cemetery was a remark-j able tribute to the comrade of forty years ago. I Carriages with members of the Woman's Relief corps i i Abe Lincoln post followed the veterans, and then came seven / carriages with Mayor Jennings, and members of the city counc ' i and municipal officers. Quite a number of carriages of private ' citizens brought up the rear guard of the procession. f CASKET IN SMITH VAULT. When the procession reached Fairview it proceeded at once to the Smith family vault, which Congressman Walter 1. Smith | of this city kindly offered as a temporary resting place for Colonel Kinsman's casket until the monument to be erected has been completed for the final interment next May. On the walk leading to the doorway of the tomb the flag covered casket was rested for the brief burial service of the C. A. R. ritual. Capt. John Lindt stood at the head of the casket and read the portion of the ritual assigned to the commander of the post, while Ad jutant Edwin J. Abbott acted as chaplain and offered the prayer of the ritual and benediction, at the foot of the casket. Ort the high embankments on either side of the walk were grouped the pallbearers, veterans and citizens, while near by Captain Lindt stood General Dodge, his head bowed in deep grief. The whole scene was a picture worthy of the painting, while the beauty and impressiveness of the simple ceremony of the veterans will always be remembered by those present. 215 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 27 COMRADES' LAST TRIBUTES. ' In the close of the service, Comrade D. K. Witter placed a wreath of evergreen on the casket, saying: "On behalf of the post I give this tribute', a symbol of un dying love for the comrade of the war." Comrade E. McWilliams followed, and in placing a bunch of white roses on the casket, said: "Symbol of purity, we offer at this lowly grave a rose. May future generations emulate the unselfish devotion of even the lowliest of our heroes." Comrade George L. Martin placed the laurel wreath on the casket, saying: "Last token of affection from comrades in arms, we crown these remains with the symbol of victory." SOLDIER'S FAREWELL SALUTE. The firing squad of the Dodge Light Guard then fired the three farewell volleys and bugler J. Rosenfeld softly blowed "Taps." Then, to the muffled roll of the drums, the casket was slowly carried into the vault where it is to remain until the people of Council Bluffs and Iowa have erected a substantial monu ment, beneath which all that is mortal of Colonel Kinsman will rest forever. Back to the city of the living slowly came the procession with its empty hearse. But Colonel Kinsman still lives ever in the memories of all Council Bluffs. rm A PUPIL OF KINSMAN. WRITES TO GENERAL DODGE MEMORIES OF HER TEACHER. General Dodge yesterday received the following letter from a former pupil of the late Colonel Kinsman while he was a school teacher in Council Bluffs before entering the army. The letter follows: "Council Bluffs, la., Nov. 19, 1901.—(Gen. G. M. Dodge, Council Bluffs, la.)—Dear Sir: Thinking it may interest you, I I COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. submit to your attention the following recollections of W. H. Kinsman; "Years ago William H. Kinsman taught for a term a school in Council Bluffs in a building, an old, two-story frame, which stood at the corner of the intersection (southeast) of Pierce and Stutsman streets. I am sure that three of my older sisters were under his tutorship at that time for a short period. I think that he boarded and roomed with the family of J. B. Stutsman, now of Harlan, la., whose residence was next, north of the old school house. "Mr. Kinsman was very kind to children. Often he carried me on his shoulder, while overseeing the boys in their play, and I have recollections of kisses given me by him. He must then have been between 25 and 30 years of age, and I was 4 or 5, a rosy-cheeked maid, possessed of an ever-recurring laugh which was the source of great annoyance to me as attracting much un welcome attention. This laugh may have been the bond of in terest between us, as he was possessed of a laugh as spontane ous if a little less irrepressible. "Colonel Kinsman possessed considerable dramatic talent, and it was his custom on Friday afternoon to delight his pupils by giving exhibitions of his ability along that line. The recita tion frequently called for, and heartily given by him, was one in which he personated an inebriate craving liquor. He would don ^ ragged coat, a battered high hat, with broken crown, through which his hair protruded and had, sometimes in pocket and some- ^ times in his hand, a large, empty, brown bottle to which he ad dressed his speech at times. "The teacher was induced to give this recitation at noon, sometimes. Then the play ground would be cleared and every one would gather m a circle around the master to witness his clever personation. In this recitation the climax was reached when the actor, extending his bottle, appealed in heartrending tones; "Give me rum! Give me rum!" I can remember that just before he neared the climax the younger members of his audience were so filled with nervous terror as to edge through the crowd to reach a position near the door, or to hide under desks in case he turned his attention in their direction. 'i v ( ' J *' / -■ ^ Not understanding the uses for,or reason in the assumption of dramatic character, and Colonel Kinsman's personations be ing so true to life, I could not always harmonize my impressions of him as seen in some of those assumed characters with im pressions I liked better to entertain of him as a kindly, courte ous, affable gentleman, beloved by his pupils. "Among the many men and women of Council Bluffs there must remain a few who were his pupils, although many, very many who made up the circle, and were transfixed by his elo quence, have, like him, passed into the great beyond. "After many years of rest in an unknown grave, to his re mains will be shown the honor due to the hero, and his ashes will be interred where friends may lay a flower upon his tomb in memory of teacher, dramatist, or soldier-hero. "All honor, also, to the great-souled man whose efforts have rescued Colonel Kinsman's ashes from obscurity and given to Council Bluffs her own. Kinsman's Little Friend." —Nonpareil, Nov. 20, 1901. COMMANDER DODGE. NOW AT THE HEAD OF ABE LINCOLN G. A. R. POST.— COLONEL KINSMAN MONUMENT IS PLANNED.—TO BE GRANITE SHAFT TWENTY FEET IN HEIGHT.— finance committee, JOHN LINDT, GEORGE CAR SON, THEO. GUITTAR, WM. MOORE AND EDWIN J. ABBOTT. Major-General Grenville M. Dodge was installed last even ing as commander of Abe Lincoln post No. 29, Grand Army of the Republic, of this city. The installation ceremony by which the distinguished soldier was placed in command of the G. A. R. post was made an elaborate affair and was participated in by nearly the full membership of Abe Lincoln post and Woman's Relief corps. After General Dodge had been inducted into the office of commander, which is the highest position within the gift of the COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. post, he addressed his comrades in a short but heartfelt speech in which he extended his sincere thanks for the additional honor that had been accorded him. DODGE AND M'KINLEY. One of the most touching parts of General Dodge's address was the relating of his last talk with the late President McKinley who held General Dodge as one of his closest friends and advis ors. Tlie last meeting of the two occurred at Washington dur ing the dedication of the Logan monument in Iowa circle. Gen eral Dodge was president of the commission that had charge of the erection of the memorial to General Logan, which, by the way, is one of the finest equestrian statues in the national capi tal and stands upon the most elaborate and handsomest pedestal ^ in that city. President McKinley had planned to leave on trip to the Pacific coast before the Logan dedication ceremonie ./ last spring, but at the request of General Dodge he remaine' * in Washington and delivered the principal address at the dedica I tion. which was the last exercise of the kind in which the mar tyred president participated. ' THE KINSMAN MONUMENT. General Dodge then presented his plans for the Colonel Kinsman monument, and in doing so exhibited a drawing of tin memorial he suggested as most suitable to erect. The propose. ' monument consists of a round granite shaft encircled by a wind ing flag. The shaft is placed on a broad granite base and rises in a total heighth of twenty feet to a cannon ball of granite, which forms the apex of the shaft. On one side of the base will be placed a bronze bust medallion of Colonel Kinsman. General Dodge also suggests the idea of inscribing on bronze plates oi the other sides of the base of the Kinsman monument the names of all members of the Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa infantry regiments, who still sleep in unknown graves. This monument meets with the hearty and unanimous approval of the post as the proper and fitting memorial for Colonel Kinsman. The post then proceeded to vest in its commander. General Dodge, the authority to appoint a committe of five to manage the finances of the Colonel Kinsman monument. General Dodge, after due consideration, announced the selection of the following 217 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 31 nembers of the committee: John Lindt, Judge George Carson, iheodore Guittar, William Moore and Edwin J. Abbott. COMMITTEE WILL HUSTLE. This committee will proceed at once to arrange its plans for raising monument funds, which will require about $2,000 or $2,- 500. An energetic and rapid canvass for the fund will be comnenced in a few days as the plan is to have the monument ready .or dedication on May 17, 1902, the thirty-ninth anniversary of Colonel Kinsman's death in battle. This is but six months dis tant and the committee realizes that it will have to hurry. At the close of the installation ceremonies and the adoption of the Kinsman monument proposal of General Dodge, a ban quet was spread for the members of the post by the ladies of the Relief corps. The new commander was given the seat of honor at the head of the table and there surrounded by a few of the surviving members of his old regiment, the Fourth Iowa, while the remainder of the banquet tables were filled with other vet erans and W. R. C. members, a jolly camp fire reunion was held for an hour or more. W. R. C. THANKS GENERAL. During the feast, Mrs. Mary H. Abbott, president of the Woman's Relief corps of Abe Lincoln post, extended an address of thanks to General Dodge on behalf of her corps for his many kindnesses to that organization. In his reply. General Dodge took occasion to remark that if it had not been for the women in the civil war, he was in serious doubt whether the union army would have been successful. The following resolution was also adopted by Abe Lincoln post last evening: Resolved, That the thanks of Abe Lincoln post, G. A. R., of Council Bluffs, Iowa, are hereby extended to Lieut. J. A. Straight and Jessie Truitt of the Twenty-third Iowa infantry for their successful efforts in finding and transmitting to this city the remains of Col. W. H. Kinsman. Resolved, That this post accept with pleasure the war relics gathered on the battlefield of Black river bayou where Colonel Kinsman fell, and our thanks are extended to Lieut. J. A. ft .A. 32 COL. W.

W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. unveiling of the Kinsman monument Saturday of this week. Last evening there was an informal gathering of members of the local Kinsman committee at General Dodge's handsome home on Third street and the plans for the parade and program were viewed and perfected. Those present were General Dodge, John Lindt, the coming commander of Iowa G. A. R., Mayor Morgan, Judge George Carson, R. N. Merriam, a member of the Council Bluffs company of which Kinsman was captain for a time in the Fourth Iowa regiment, which General Dodge recruited i this city and of which he was the first colonel; Edwin J. Abbott, Spencer Smith, Emmet Tinley, Captain Mather and Lieutenants Paul I. Van Order and George L. Judson of the Dodge Light Guard, the namesake company of General Dodge. GENERAL DODGE IS PRESIDENT. General Dodge was forthwith chosen as president of the day for the Kinsman ceremonies and John Lindt was selected marshal of the day. It was then decided that Lieut. J. A. Straight of Washington, who was with Colonel Kinsman when he fell mortally wounded at the battle of Black river bayou, Miss., May 17, 1863, and who assisted in the location of the Kinsman grave last fall, should be one of the principal speakers at the unveiling services. Emmet Tinley was also chosen to de liver a eulogy on the occasion and an invitation will be wired to J. W. Deweese, general solicitor for the B. & M. at Lincoln, Neb., to also deliver a short address. Mr. Deweese was a mem ber of Kinsman's regiment, the Twenty-third Iowa. An invita tion has been extended by the committee to General Glascoe of Burlington, to attend the Kinsman memorial meeting and take part in the program, he having succeeded Kinsman as colonel of the Twenty-third Iowa regiment after the death of the latter. The committee yesterday received a letter from General Glascoe in which he states his regrets over temporary illness preventing his attendance. "I knew Colonel Kinsman," he says in the letter, "so well and for so long a time that nothing but present ill health would stand in the way of attending your meeting and saying nothing but praise as to the good quality and ability, which would be the truth in respect tc* my brave soldier friend and comrade." Rev. G. W. Snyder of the St. John's English Lutheran church was chosen as chaplain for the day. 219 1 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 69 RECEPTION OF VETERANS. As has been stated, Kinsman post of Des Moines will attend the dedication of the monument in a body and bring the battleflag of the Twenty-third Iowa regiment together with its drum corps. Abe Lincoln post, G. A. R., and Encampment No. 8, Union Veteran Legion, will meet the Des Moines veterans in a body at the Rock Island depot Saturday morning at 11:30 and escort them to the G. A.

Mayor Morgan will issue a proclamation asking that the business houses of the city be closed from i to 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and that the day be generally observed as a memorial day. It is believed that the proclamation for the suspension of business for a few hours will be generally observed, as all interest will then center at Fairview cemetery and the unveiling exercises there. Last evening the committee prepared a rough draft of the formation of the parade, which will form on the south side of Bayliss park at 1130 Saturday afternoon and march promptly at 2 o'clock. It is earnestly desired that all the societies, both civic as well as military, in the city participate in the parade in honor of the Council Bluffs hero, and all organizations desirous of places in the line are requested to at once notify Fdwin J.

The Kinsman monument was placed in position in the cen ter of soldiers' circle, Fairview cemetery, yesterday afternoon and is now ready for the dedication Saturday. The monument will be covered with canvas today and not be exposed to public gaze until the unveiling ceremony of tomorrow. Situated as it is on one of the highest points of the bluffs, the monument which is itself twenty feet high makes a m.ost commanding spectacle and seems a fitting tribute to the gallant Council Bluffs soldier in whose memory it was erected. With the placing of the monu ment stones in position yesterday, everything is now in readi ness for the ceremonies of tomorrow. General Dodge, who will be president of the day, and Grand Marshal Lindt having also completed their arrangements for the program and parade. In dications are that several hundred veterans of the civil war, par ticularly those of the Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa regiments, will attend the unveiling of the monument and the ceremonies are certain to attract as many hundred other visitors to the city. With favorable weather, the occasion promises to be a most in spiring one. In event of rainy weather, arrangements have been made to hold the program at the Dohany theater, so that rain or shine, the ceremonies are to occur. ■VA ■ ■I COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. * .'it M TPIE KINSMAN MONUMENT. The Kinsman monument has been constructed according to the design proposed by General Dodge on' his visit to this city last November when the remains of Colonel Kinsman were brought here from the Mississippi battlefield where they had laid unknown for nearly thirty-nine j'ears. The total height of the monument is twenty feet, the greater portion of which is a rounded shaft of gray granite placed on a broad base of the same stone. The shaft is eighteen inches in diameter at the base and tapers slightly to the top on which rests a large granite ball. Carved on the shaft is an American flag which encircles the rounded column from near the top to the base. The flag is Drought into prominence by being polished in contrast with the rougher portion of the shaft. The cap block beneath the shaft has a border of large stars and below is the main granite block of the base which bears the inscription and the bronze medallion of Colonel Kinsman. The medallion is a life size bas-relief bust of Colonel Kinsman in full uniform and shows him wearing a full beard as he did at the time of his death. Just above the medal lion which faces the south, is carved the words "Col. William H. Kinsman." Beneath the medallion is inscribed "Born July ii, 1834, Cornwallis-Nova Scotia. Killed in Battle of Black River Bayou, May 17, 1863." On the west side of this block is in scribed "Erected by his comrades and the citizens and school children of Council Bluffs, Iowa, May 17, 1902. The east side ^as this inscription, "Teacher in the public school of Council 4lufrs, lieutenant and captain, Co. B, Fourth Iowa Infantry, lieuenant-colonel and colonel of the Twenty-third Iowa Infantry." '"he north side of the block is blank. On the next stone are ^arved crossed sabres. The base stone is four foot, ten inches square and bears the name "Kinsman" in large raised letters. The proclamation of Mayor Morgan requesting the mer chants of the city to close their places of business from i o'clock, the hours of the services at the cemetery, tomorrow afternoon, has met with general approval and there is every indication that the request will be universally observed. All the visitors to the city will be at the cemetery during those hours and business will be practically at a standstill in any event and the merchants are disposed to observe the closing request, especially as it is the desire of General Dodge. 72 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. INSTRUCTIONS TO VETERANS. Edwin J.

Wall McFadden requests the members of his drum corps to be at the G. A. R. hall tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock to prepare for participation in the parade. THE STORY TOLD IN STONE. The unveiling and dedication of the Kinsman monument mark today as an historic one. The story thus told in stone is not to be read only by those who now look on its lines, but also by their children and their children's children. The tribute thus paid to the gallant personality of loyalty is most worthily be stowed, for Colonel Kinsman gave his all for his country and gave it bravely and cheerfully, but the story told in stone is more than that of personal patriotism and sacrifice. In honoring and preserving the memory of his courage and fidelity there is the COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. honoring and the preserving of the grand American ideals which found living form in him. It is not alone a lasting reminder of the virtues of him whose name is so lovingly engraved upon it, but an inspiration which will be felt by generations yet unborn to imitate those virtues which cause his memory to be so grace fully wreathed. Such a monument does more for the living than for the dead. There is no measure nor balance which can tell the extent of the helpful inspirations which will go forth from this stone in ever widening circles in the great ocean of human activity. It is a tribute, but is is more than a tribute. It is a memory, but it is more than a memory. It is a lesson, but it is more than a lesson. It is an inspiration gathering its strength from the great achievements of yesterday and girding itself with faith in the greater possibilities of tomorrow, causing the heart of childhood and of old age alike to beat the quicker at the sight of the old flag, and to feel keener thrill of joy in giving answer to whatever call of duty comes."—Nonpareil Editorial, May 17, 1902.

HISTORY OF THE GALLANT COUNCIL BLUFFS SOLDIER. —STORY OF THE LONG SEARCH- FOR HIS UNKNOWN GRAVE.—THE FUNERAL SERVICES HELD HERE LAST NOVEMBER.—HOW GENERAL DODGE HAS REMAINED FAITHFUL THROUGH ALL YEARS TO HIS YOUNG SOLDIER FRIEND. A recent number of the Annals of Iowa, which is published by the historical department of the state, contained an excellent sketch of Colonel Kinsman's life written by his faithful friend, Maj.-Gen. Grenville M. Dodge. Accompanying the sketch was also published the picture of Colonel Kinsman, which is pre sented in today's Nonpareil. This picture in itself is highly treasured, being one of the few pictures that now remain of the gallant soldier, the original photograph being in possession of General Dodsre. 76 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. Following is the General Dodge sketch in full as it ap peared in the Annals of Iowa: COLONEL WILLIAM H. KINSMAN. BY GEN. GKENVILLE M. DODGE. "William H. Kinsman was born in Nova Scotia, Kings coun ty, in the town of Cornwallis,. in 1834. His father was Theodorus Kinsman, a small farmer, and his mother the daughter of an old sea captain. Young Kinsman went to sea, shipping as cabin boy at the age of 15. He remained at sea for over four years, saving his money. Soon after his return home he came to Columbia county, N. Y., where he attended an academy for two years, and then went to Cleveland, Ohio, where he engaged in writing local ' editorials for a newspaper, attending a law school during the time he remained in that city, in which he took a full course of lectures. In the spring of 1858 he entered the law office of Clin ton & Baldwin, Council Blufifs, to complete his studies. On the motion of Judge Baldwin he was admitted to practice at the j October term, 1858. "In 1859 he caught the gold fever,and took his knapsack a , all the rations he could carry, and tramped from Council Blutl to Pike's Peak, some six hundred or more miles, where he en 'i gaged in any kind of labor he could find to do. He located a placer mine, which he worked for a short time. During hij tramp to and stay in Colorado, he corresponded with The Coun cil Bluffs Nonpareil, writing very sensible, practical letters, unde;' the nom de plume of "Jack Taffrail." In the winter of 1859 h returned to Council Bluffs, and taught a short term of school i. that city. He then visited Washington City as the correspond ent of sundry newspapers, but remained only a few months Returning to Council Bluffs, he formed a co-partnership wit' the Hon. D. C. Bloomer. In July, i860, he commenced the practice of his profession. "I first became acquainted with Kinsman when he entered the law office of Clinton & Baldwin. I soon discovered he was a young man of energy, intelligence and great ambition, and ^2?. hJ KJ COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. that he took a lively part in political and all other matters that interested the city and state. I induced him to join the Council Bluffs Guards, which he entered as a private, taking a great in terest in the company. His stay with them, of course, was short, but as soon as he returned to Council Bluffs in i860 he again joined, and, if I recollect rightly, was made second lieutenant, v It was uphill work maintaining an independent military company of fifty or more members in a small town, without any aid from the state, or local encouragement whatever. The company was kept alive through patriotism and the desire of those who be longed to it to become drilled and efficient soldiers. It took a good deal of urging to get many young men to join the com pany, as they had to furnish their own uniforms, which many of them could not afford to do, and many of the older citizens, in stead of encouraging, opposed it. It was the only company in the western part of the state. Perhaps there was one, certainly not more than two, in the eastern part of the state. The effort was looked upon as foolish, and it was difficult to raise funds necessary to maintain the company. Kinsman, in his enthus iasm, induced many to join it. "In the political campaign of i860 Kinsman was also very active. It fell to my lot to take part in the thorough organiza tion of the republican side of politics on the Missouri slope. The party there was unorganized; in fact, a republican was looked upon rather as an outlaw than a citizen, as that portion of Iowa was settled mostly from the south and by the Mormons. The Baldwins, Mr. Bloomer, Kinsman and other prominent citizens took an active part in the campaign, thus giving us a creditable standing. Kinsman was very aggressive and got into personal conflicts, saying things that brought upon him considerable criticism. He was absolutely devoted to me, and ready to do anything I asked him, no matter what the result might be, or the consequences to himself, and I therefore became much at tached to him before the war. "In 1861, as soon as it became evident that the south would secede, I called the Council Bluffs Guards together, and informed them that in case of war I proposed to take part, and that I thought it was our duty to make known our decision in the mat ter, also to offer our services to the g-overnor. Kinsman very COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. eloquently seconded my little talk, being aggressive and deter mined, and absolutely demanding of every loyal person present that he take up arms for his government. When the vote was taken the entire company authorized me to offer their services to the governor, and I think Kinsman was about the happiest man at their action that I ever met. This, I think, was the first com pany offered to the governor, although it is possible that one in the eastern part of the state was offered first. The records show that the govenor declined to accept us, stating that as it was the only company in western Iowa, and located near two fron tiers, Missouri on the south and the Indians on the north and west, he felt that the settlers there needed its protection. The action of the governor induced me to offer my services personal ly to the United States government, being determined to enter the service. Learning this the governor placed me on his staff, and sent me on special duty to Washington and other places. When I left the Bluffs I promised the company, especially Kins man, that I would use all my endeavors to have it accepted as part of one of the regiments being raised in the state. As soon as I was made colonel, and authorized to raise the Fourth Iowa, I immediately notified Lieutenants Craig and Kinsman, and gave them authority to fill out the roll for Company B and recruit it to its full strength. In a short time I heard that they had it full, and when I returned to the Bluffs the company was ready to be mustered in. Kinsman was mustered with his company (B) as second lieutenant, but soon rose to become its captain, the first lieutenant, P. A. Wheeler, having been made regimental quar termaster, and Captain S. H. Craig, on account of physical dis ability. having been compelled to resign. Kinsman was pro moted to the captaincy October lo, 1861, at Rolla, Missouri. He was a very efficient officer, very sanguine, and rather restive under strict discipline. He thought if a soldier could shoulder a musket and shoot it, that was about all that should be required of him. He had not then learned what was necessary to prepare a man for battle, and he felt that my severe drilling and dis ciplining of the regiment was uncalled for, as did most of the regi ment; but none of the men ever protested openly. Kinsman, who probably was as near or nearer to me than any other man in the regiment, often talked to me about it, and always arrived at COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. the conclusion that I must be right, but still he could not under stand the necessity. He moved along in the campaign from Rolla to Pea Ridge, doing his full duty, and always anxious to aid me. I could call upon him for any work, whether it was that of a soldier, clerk or correspondent, and I think he watched me more carefully and took more interest in me than I did in myself. He could not well stand the slow movements of Fre mont, or the great delay in obtaining the proper equiprhent, clothing, etc., for the regiment. He wanted to take the short road to everj'thing, which, of course, would have been the long one. In the preliminary fights on our march south, up to the great battle of Pea Ridge, I noticed that he was very active, very anxious to get to the front, and that the sound of a cannon or a gun stirred him immediately. "During all this time he kept in correspondence with the home local paper. The Council Bluffs Nonpareil, giving every movement, every detail and every item that would be of interest to the people at home. He was especially sympathetic over the great amount of sickness and the many deaths that occurred in the regiment at Rolla. The Fourth Iowa was mostly made up of country boys, and they had almost every known disease while in camp that winter at Rolla. At one time nearly half the regi ment was down. "At the battle of Pea Ridge I was instructed to make a de tail of three companies to hold the extreme left of Colonel Carr's division, which was the Pea Ridge mountain. This ridge divided General Curtis' army. Colonel Carr's division occupying ground to the east and north of the mountain and facing General Price's army—General Davis with his division occupying the west and south sides of the mountain, fronting General Van Dorn. This mountain made a division of Van Dorn's army, and he made a fatal mistake in dividing his force and sending part under Price to attack our rear, giving us the short interior line, while his line was so long and his divisions so far apart that he could not reinforce either division of his army by details from another. They were not in close touch throughout the battle. Van Dorn's army was full}' double that of Curtis, and if he had attacked with his whole force from the west, there is no doubt that we would have had a much harder struggle and probably a different result. 8o COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. As that detail was to be away from me, out of my reach, and it was necessary to depend upon the judgment of the officer com manding, I selected Captain Kinsman with his own company and two companies of the Twenty-fourth Missouri. Kinsman in his report says that his command was stretched out across the south end of the mountain as skirmishers, and the enemy thought they were a whole regiment, and when opposed they were opposed only by skirmishers. They held their position throughout the first day and had only one man wounded. Going over their front the next day he found eleven dead, shot with musket balls. There were some Indians with the enemy who shot arrows. Like all the rest of the officers and men of the Fourth, he had no sleep for the two nights. I find in my official report the following on his action that day: Company B, under Captain Kinsman, with two companies of the Twenty-fourth Missouri, were on the 7th ordered to the extreme left of the division, to hold our left flank and check the enemy upon the high hill—Pea Ridge. He did this very effectively that day and rendered very efficient service. "He joined the regiment again about 5 o'clock that evening and took part in the final charge that day ordered by General Curtis in person. General Curtis speaks of his charge as follows: As I came up the Fourth Iowa was falling back for cartridges, in line, dressing on their colors, in perfect order. Supposing with my re inforcements I could entirely regain our lost ground, I ordered the regi ment to halt and face about. Colonel Dodge came up, explaining the want of cartridges, and informed of my purpose, he ordered a bayonet charge, and they moved again with steady nerve to their former position, where the gallant Ninth was ready to support them. These two regi ments won imperishable fame. "The Fourth Iowa had held its position all day, but the Sec ond brigade posted at Elkhorn tavern had been driven back early in the afternoon leaving my brigade unsupported on either flank, and the enemy had passed clear around me and into my rear, and I did not discover it until out of ammunition. My adjutant. Gen. James A. Williamson, in going for ammunition ran into a rebel regiment in my rear, where the First brigade had been posted. This, of course, forced me to withdraw my brigade and join our line in our rear, and it was while on this movement that I met General Curtis, and the action described in his report took place. Tlie regiment heard the conversation between General 225 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 8i Curtis and myself, and when I gave the order they started as one man, cheering, and regained our former position, but the enemy had retired from the field in our front. "After this battle Captain Kinsman came to me and called my attention to the fact that the regiment next morning was intact, with not a man missing except its killed and wounded, and in a very friendly and complimentary way said that he now ap preciated all the work they had had to do in the past year, and what it meant. In fact the whole Fourth Iowa learned then the value of discipline and drill. They saw other regiments, when they lost their officers, melt away, but the Fourth Iowa, with not a field officer left, never had a straggler. As I left the regi ment soon after the battle of Pea Ridge, I had no further per sonal contact with Kinsman, though he kept up an occasional correspondence with me, showing a great regard for and interest in me until his death. Soon after I left the regiment, upon my application, he was made an assistant adjutant-general, it being my intention to place him on my stafi, but he declined this, and December i, 1862, accepted a commission as lieutenant-colonel of the Twenty-third Iowa infantry. I have no personal knowl edge of his services in that regiment, except as gathered from his letters. He unfortunately had a difference with his brigade com mander, General Davidson, when they were in Missouri. It came from his allowing his men to forage when they had been without rations for several days on the march to West Plains, Mo. In February, 1863, he was summoned before a court mar tial, which convened in St. Louis in March, and did not return to his regiment for duty until after it had reached Raymond on the march to Jackson. This was a great disappointment and regret, and he felt it very keenly, and it no doubt was the cause of his determination when he rejoined the regiment to atone for it by his daring and bravery, as shown in the battles that followed. Concerning his services with the Twenty-third regiment, I take the liberty of quoting a letter from a chum of his before the war, who was a school teacher, correspondent and lawyer, like him self, and who was his comrade in the Twenty-third, and whose brother was a member of Captain Kinsman's company, B, Fourth Iowa—Lieut. J. A. .Straight. He writes: On the death of Col. Wni. Dewey in December, 1862, LieutenantColonel Kinsman was promoted to the colonelcy, and became the idol ^ -"'Bwi ■ ' 82 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. of the regiment. He never had an enemy in the organization. A most thorough disciplinarian, and a hale and hearty friend to every soldier, he, of course, was popular. He always led his boys—never followed. In a long and exceedingly hard marching campaign in Missouri, in the winter of 1862-3, owing to the distance from supplies and no forage or supplies in the sparsely settled country, the regiment was on slim rations for over two weeks, and reduced to parched corn for two or three days. Some of the Company E boys discovered some hogs near camp and they were captured, also a very poor cow, which went into the camp kettles. General Davidson sent for Colonel Kinsman and said some very wrathy things about his Iowa boys, and their jayhawking ways, which Kinsman resented with such fervor that General Davidson ordered him under arrest, and on the return of the command to Arcadia, Mo., he was called before a court martial at St. Louis in March, and after a dragging trial of two weeks or longer he was restored to duty, the sentence, as I now recollect, being a reprimand by General Curtis for conduct unbecoming a subordinate officer. The regiment had gone down to Vicksburg, and Colonel Kinsman rejoined it while on the march from Bruinsburg, Miss., to Jackson, the first week in May, 1863, near the battlefield of Port Gib son, in which his regiment had taken a prominent part. He marched with the regiment through mud and slush to Jackson, commanded it at Champion hill, where they captured many prisoners by a succession of charges under heavy artillery fire, and double-quicked from Champion hill battleground to Edwards' Station, where we bivouacked the night of May 16, 1863. That night, while the dashing rain was drenching us to the skin, and we huddled close together, we talked long after the middle of the night, and he said, "I have orders to march at daylight and attack the enemy (Johnnies) whenever and wherever we find them. I may be killed but if I live and the Twenty-third will follow me, and I know it will, we will show the people at home (in Iowa) that it is one of the best and bravest regiments that ever left the state, and I shall wear a star. But something tells me that I shall be severely wounded, and I want you, if it should be, to see that my sword and watch and other things are sent to Mr, Bloomer, who will know what to do with them;" and while rest ing next morning under the river bank, to which point he had been ordered by General Lawler, brigade commander, he again said to me: "I expect to be shot down right up on this bank," pointing behind him to the high bank which sheltered us, but added in a tone of voice heard for several feet around us, "but the Twenty-third will get there just the same—don't stop for the dead and wounded; you must take those breast works," The Twenty-third was lying with bayonets fixed, and loaded guns, stripped to the lightest running weight, under the bank of Black river, which at that point coursed east and west. Company A was on the right wing, and had orders, at a given signal, to mount the bank without firing a gun and double-quick across an open cotton field to a point in the breastworks about 500 yards distant, where a bayou some I . I' COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. ' 83 twenty yards wide passed through the line of rifle-pits. This subjected the regiment to a flank and enfilading fire from Generals French and Bowen's Missouri divisions, which occupied the line of field works on our right flank. From the time we mounted the bank we were subjected to a murderous fire from 6,000 veteran Missouri and Arkansas troops, and the artillery fire of twelve guns in our front supported by two brigades of Tennesseeans and Alabamians. The order of Colonel Kins man was by signal (removing his hat), and he was stripped of every thing except his sword-belt and revolver, ready to mount the bank, which was a perpendicular rise of four to five feet, and when the order from General Lawler came, without a moment's hesitation he raised his hat and was the first man to mount the bank, the balance of his regi ment following an instant later. There was no noise or confusion; every man knew what was expected of him, and not an order was issued. The regiment formed a passable line and moved off on a double-quick with out firing a gun. The first volley fired from the works on our right found Colonel Kinsman about thirty feet from the top of the bank. He had turned around facing the regiment as he wa^ligning it by motions, and urging it forward, and he was struck with a minie ball in the left side, piercing the sword-belt, near the center of the belt, and fell, turning completely around. I stopped-by him a minute or less, gave him a canteen of coffee, and some cotton to staunch his wound, and left him lying in a cotton row, which was a slight protection from the bullets of the enemy, but he impatiently ordered me to leave him and go to the regiment. I overtook the regiment as it was wading across the bayou, running over ground strewn with the wounded and dead of my regi ment. As we were firing our first volley into the enemy after gaining the rifle-pits. Colonel Kinsman came rushing by us, shouting, "Give 'em hell, boys!" waving his naked sword and looking very pale, as if he were making a death struggle with his wound. The enemy was retreating pell mell in great disorder, and the very last volley I can remember as fired by them in our direction caught our colonel once more while he was shouting on the top of the enemy's rifle-pits—this time on the right side and about two inches higher than the first shot, both shots having passed through his body and out. He fell upon the enemy's breastworks, and as they had ceased firing and were surrendering to our forces all along the line, and the balance of our division were passing over the breastworks to cut off the retreat across the river, several of the slightly wounded members of the Twenty-third gathered around him. He was tenderly borne to the shade of a tree close by until stretchers could be procured, when he was carried to the hospital tent near the railroad track in the rear of General Hovey's division. He was shot the second time about 11 a. m. and it was between 12 and I p. m. when he was examined by the surgeons at the hospital tent or tree, and during this time he shook hands with the boys as they came to see him, asking after the wounded, and when told of Sutler John Lyon having been killed, he said, "I am so sorry; I told him not to go with the boys, but 84 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. he was a brave man and would go." When the surgeons told him he had only a slim chance to live, he said, "I'll take that chance, as I don't want to leave my brave boys," and then added, "didn't they surprise the Johnny-rebs? and didn't you see them run up the cotton-batting on their bayonets?" and thus he talked at times as the pain increased. Finally : , about midnight the 17th of May, he began to grow worse, and about i( a. m. next day passed away. He asked us to bury him under the live oak ; . tree, where he was lying on a cot under a tent-fly, and on the evening j of the iSth of May, 1863, about sundown, with a few of his nearest friends , present, he was laid away to his final rest, within about 100 feet of th I ^ railroad track. General McClernand, commander of the Thirteenth Army Corps I said in his report of the battle: "Among the killed is Colonel Kinsman Twenty-third Iowa, who fell mortally wounded while leading his regi J ment upon the enemy's works." General Carr, commanding the Fourtl | ^ division of the corps, and an eye-witness, said: "A murderous cross- ■ fire was opened on our men as they moved forward on the run. It was here that the gallant'*Kinsman of the Twenty-third Iowa lost his life. He received a fatal wound in the abdomen, but still kept on until another through his chest brought him to the ground." His last words, as I now remember them, were: "Tell the boys I died happy. I fell at the head of my regiment, doing my duty. Bury me here on the field of my last battle." i "Kinsman's comrades of the Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa, I and his friends in Council Bluffs, were very desirous that his re- I mains should be brought back to his home in Iowa, and consid- ] arable correspondence occurred. The difficulty seemed to be f i find some one who knew and could designate the spot where S,, was buried. Finally, in the spring of 1884, Lieut. N. E. Rid.V nour of the Twenty-third, editor of The Page County Democrat I who had taken great personal interest in the matter, and who hai'. appealed to the state legislature in that behalf, but they not act- ■ ing, he, together with the Rev. A. G. Barton, went to the Black river bayou battle-ground, east of Vicksburg, with the view of bringing back to Iowa Colonel Kinsman's remains; but th. changes in the country since the war made it impossible to locatt , it. They returned greatly disappointed, and their disappoint ment was shared by all of Kinsman's friends who had looked for ward confidently to their bringing his remains with them. Lieu .• tenant Straight in his letter to me says he thinks he can find the grave, and during the coming autumn I shall try to have one more effort made to bring his remains to Iowa to be buried at 227 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 85 his home with his comrades, where he can be properly honored, and the memory of his deeds perpetuated." SEARCH FOR KINSMAN GRAVE. SEVERAL VAIN ATTEMPTS HAD BEEN MADE TO RECOVER THE REMAINS. Prior to the successful location last fall, several attempts had been made by former comrades to discover Colonel Kins man's grave for the purpose of either erecting a suitable monu ment thereon or bringing the remains back to Iowa for suitable interment here. Colonel Kinsman having been buried in the heat of a fierce campaign and while the troops were still under fire on the battlefield, his interment was necessarily a hasty one. The regiment soon after moved on toward Vicksburg, and in the excitement of the battle, the location of the grave was not firmly fixed in the minds of soldiers, nor had they time to erect more than a board marker, which was soon destroyed. Thus Colonel Kinsman's grave became one of the "unknown." In the early '80s the veterans of the Twenty-third regiment and especially Kinsman G. A. R. post of Des Moines, endeavored to interest the state legislature in making an appropriation for a search of the Black river bayou battlefield for Colonel Kins man's remains, but the legislators failed to respond. In 1884 General Dodge sent Lieut. N. E. Ridenour and Rev. A. G. Bar ton to Mississippi to search for Colonel Kinsman's grave, and paid all their expenses. They dug over a considerable portion of the Black river bayou battlefield, but failed to find any traces of the Kinsman remains and had to return home in disappoint ment. It subsequently developed that they made the error of believing that Colonel Kinsman had been buried just where he fell in battle, which was not the case, as he did not die until the following night and was buried close by the field hospital tent to which he had been removed. Last summer General Dodge wrote an article concerning Colonel Kinsman and remarked that his grave was still unlocated. This statement met the eye of Lieut. J. A. Straight of Washington, who was a member of the Twenty-third Iowa regi- .i . K.!\ ■' V' 86 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. ment and who had helped bury Kinsman. He at once wrote General Dodge that he was certain he could find the grave. About the same time Jesse Truitt of Winterset also wrote to General Dodge that he was sure he could find Colonel Kins man's remains. General Dodge thereupon offered to pay the expenses of the searching party and about ithe middle of last November Lieutenant Straight and his former comrades, Jesse Truitt and Oldham, met at Vicksburg, just east of the Black river bayou battlefield, and proceeded on their mission. The story of the search and the recovery of the remains has been given in previous issues of The Nonpareil.—Nonpareil, May 17, 1902.

Every possible arrangement was completed yesterday for the dedication of the Kinsman monument today even to securing a prediction from the weather bureau for a fair day. If the weather man fails to keep his word, however, the exercises will be held in the Dohany theater instead of at the soldiers' circle in Fairview cemetery, where the monument is located. There is every indication that several hundred veterans and visitors will arrive in the city this morning to attend the unveiling of the Kinsman l\lf\ 'vJ 'j 1 iSJ • f monument and every effort will be put forth to properly enter tain them. In honor of the occasion it is expected that patriotic decorations and flags will be generally displayed throughout the city. The proclamation of Mayor Morgan for a suspension of the Ibusiness activity of the city from i to 4 o'clock this afternoon, t he hours of the ceremonies, will be universally observed and all r'aspect will be paid the memory of Colonel Kinsman by his home city. All the banks of the city will close for the day at i 'o'clock this afternoon on account of the Kinsman memorial exV raises; the public library will be closed from 12 to 5 o'clock, and tl.ie city and county officials will also observe the day together wiith all classes of people in the city today. REMAINS ARE INTERRED. Yesterday afternoon the remains of Colonel Kinsman were qui.etly taken from the Smith vault where they have rested since las'c November, and interred just east of the monument and with in Jie battlements of soldiers' circle. This was done in advance of ithe monument exercises, as it was decided that Colonel Kinsma.n's funeral pro])erly occurred last November when the rema.ins were brought to this city and conveyed to the cemetery wi th all ceremony. At that time the G. A. R. burial ritual was rea.d and the remains were consigned to the vault with all the ho. mrs of a final interment. General Dodge directed the inter ment yesterday and saw to it that the casket was carefully placed in irs last resting place. The exercises today will consequently not be of a funeral nature, but more of a monument dedication to tl'ie memory of the buried hero. .A^ speaker's stand was erected at the southeast comer of the battKments over one of the four big siege guns which guard soldiers' circle. There is plenty of room about the stand for several thousand people to comfortably place themselves and the crowd will be given every protection and care by the special officers assigned to duty at the exercises.

Veterans of the old Fourth and Twenty-third r ments began arriving yesterday and at least loo of the vete' j ' of the two regiments are expected. The fact that less than | survivors of the two regiments could be found during the s i ■ tation for funds for the monument, shows too plainly the ' | • passing away of the civil war heroes and explains the small li " her of those veterans who will be here today.

Wilcox, who was a sergeant in the Twenty-third Iowa, Colonel Kinsman's old regiment during the civil war, and M. A. Tucker, who also served in the same regiment, arrived in the city yesterday from Beattie, Kas., to attend the dedication of the Kinsman memorial monument today. Both of the men were in the regiment, fighting close to Kinsman when that gallant officer fell at Black river bayou. May 17, 1863. Sergeant Wilcox was shot in the mouth at the time, but the wound did not prove serious. "Colonel Kinsman fell twice after receiving the fatal shot," declared Sergeant Wilcox yesterday, he having been close to his commanding officer wlien the latter fell. "When the bullet first struck him, he fell to the ground, but clambering to his feet he again started forward, waving his sword above his head and shouting: 'Forward, boys! We'll get them yet!' An instant later he dropped to the ground for the second and last time." 92 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL.

LIEUTENANT STRAIGHT PRESENTS ABE LINCOLN POST WITH BEST COLLECTION KNOWN. Lieut. J. A. Straight of Washington, D. C., to whose effort was largely due the .finding of Colonel Kinsman's remains at Black river bayou, Miss., last fall, yesterday presented to Abe Lincoln post of this city several relics that were also found in the grave of Colonel Kinsman at the time his remains were re covered. Among these is the pipe which Colonel Kinsman smoked the night before his death and which was his constant companion during the two years of his service. Another was what is known in army parlance as a "house wife." This consisted of a little pocket in which were carried needles, thread and other things of a similar nature for which a soldier in army life frequently finds considerable use. This pocket was made by Miss Mary Bloomer of this city and pre sented to Colonel Kinsman, a similar one having also been made by her and presented to Lieutenant Straight at the same time. The two pockets were made from ribbons which Miss Bloomer had formerly worn about her neck and also from pieces of dresses belonging to Mrs. Bloomer. The remains of Colonel Kinsman's boots, which were also found almost intact, are among the relics thus presented to Abe Lincoln post. In addition to these are a number of photographs which Lieutenant Straight had taken just after he had discovered the remains of his colonel last fall, showing the location of the grave and other important places. These relics will hereafter be among the most priceless possessions of Abe Lincoln post, G. A. R., in this city. It now develops that Abe Lincoln post has the largest and really the only collection of Kinsman relics known. Kinsman post No. 7 of Des Moines, which when it organized in 1877 COL. W. Hr.KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 93 ■ 1 ' adopted thf|t name of Kinsman, has not a single relic of their namesake c ommander. It had been thought here that Kinsman post possess sed the sword which Colonel Kinsman carried when he was kill icd, but J. D. McGarrauth, commander of Kinsman post of Dies Moines, declared when in the city yesterday that his post diid not have it. The sword which Abe Lincoln post has is the; one which the ladies of this city presented to Kins man whil'e he was a lieutenant in the Council Bluffs, company in the F' urth regiment. This sword he did not carry as colonel, but wher e that blade is seems to be a mystery.—Nonpareil, May i8, 1902 . MARCH FOR KINSMAN.

Colonel Kinsman did remain buried on the field of battle for thirty-nine long years, during which time his grave became an unknown. With the discovery of the remains and .tr.h 94 COL. W. H.

" The procession yesterday afternoon was one ^ laudable features of the ceremonies attending upon tl • of the Kinsman monument. It was participated in nV surviving members of Colonel Kinsman^s old regiij Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa, but by old veterans f[ the surrounding states, the veterans of the late Span! ican war, by the cadets, who may have an opportunity Colonel Kinsman's noble example, as well as by ci\ ^ and citizens in general. i While tire parade may have lacked in the glitter \ ' of some military pageant of today, yet it is doubtful if ever a parade held in which the participants thought 1>1' appearance they might make and more of the real dwhich the procession was held than that of yesterday! was not a veteran in the procession that would not hri pleted the line of march to the monument even had h' that in so doing it would be his last march. For that )' for no other, the procession was really imposing.

The old Fourth Iowa regiment also lays just claim to Kins man, since he enlisted in that command and served with it as lieutenant and captain of Company B a considerabe portion of his war activity. Twenty-one veterans of the Fourth regiment, headed by the former colonel. General Dodge, likewise marched in the Kinsman procession yesterday. They were; Grenville M.

Early in the afternoon the participants gathe "VYitSsc.- Bayliss park waiting for the formation of the line of mar,... i'he procession, however, did not make its final start for the cemetery until after 2 o'clock. Tire train on the Rock Island road being nearly two hours late and the boys not having had dinner, an op portunity was given them to partake of the lunch prepared by the members of Abe Lincoln Corps, No. 180 W. R. C., who beside feeding Kinsman post, provided for about one hundred and fifty other volunteers who were present. When once started, however, the line of march to the monument was covered with out a single mishap or marring feature. At the head of the line of march was a detail of police under the command of Captain Maltby of the night force. The detail included Officers McKinley, J. W. Kirk, Henry Leuch, Aubrey Kirk and Conrad Distman. The members of the detail were dressed in their new uniforms and presented an exceptionally good appearance, at the head of the procession. MARSHAL AND HIS AIDES. Following the police detail came the marshal of the day, John Lindt, the coming commander of the Iowa department, G. A. R., accompanied by his aides, Capt. L. B. Cousins, Lieut. J. Q. Anderson, Lieut. Donald Macrae, jr., and Lieut. George Van Brunt. Whether or not it was intentional, nevertheless Marshal Lindt and his aides, dressed in the uniforms of their respective branches of the miltary, presented a rather unique appearance, representing as they did, the soldier of every late war of the United States. Marshal Lindt was dressed in the uniform of an army officer of the civil war and decorated with the various emblems of the G. A. R.; Captain Cousins was in plain citizen's clothes; Lieutenant Anderson in the blue uniform of the National Guard, such as was conspicuous in the SpanishAmerican war in Cuba; Dr. Donald Macrae wore the kahki uniform with which he and others saw service in the Philippines, while Lieutenant Van Brunt of the High School Cadets wore the regulation cadet grey similar to the confederate uniforms of the civil war. Following the marshal and his aides came Smith's union band, which furnished music for the day, and then the carriages containing the officers and speakers of the day. r- = v I . • COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 97 GENERAL DODGE IN LINE. In the first carriage was Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, to whose efforts were largely due the ceremonies of yesterday, and who had been selected as the president of the day; Lieut. J. A. Straight of Washington, D. C., an old member of the Twentythird infantry, and to whose efforts was largely due the finding of Colonel Kinsman's remains; J. W. Deweese of Lincoln, Neb., also a member of the Twenty-third Iowa regiment, and Emmet Tinley of this city. The last three were the speakers for the day. In the second carriage were Rev. G. W. Snyder, a member of the Sixteenth Ohio, who had been chosen chaplain for the day; A. M. Bonham of this city, a member of Company K, Fifty-fifth Illinois; James Widner of Corning, a member of Com pany H, Fourth Iowa; B. S. Dawson of this city, a member of Company L, Second Illinois; Edwin J. Abbott of this city, ad jutant of Abe Lincoln post. Mr. Abbott carried the old sword of Colonel Kinsman, worn when he was a lieutenant, and now the property of Abe Lincoln post. In the third carriage were the members of the Dudley Buck quartet, who furnished the vocal music at the unveiling, consist ing of Postmaster I. M. Treynor, J. H. Simms, W. S. Rigdon and C. B. Aitchison. Spencer Smith also rode in this carriage. DODGE LIGHT GUARD. Following came the Dodge Light Guard under command of Captain Mather and the High School Cadets under the com mand of Captain Pryor. Then came McFadden's drum corps of ten members, and drum corps of Kinsman post, of Des Moines. Kinsman post No. 7, G. A. R., of Des Moines, came next in line and the surviving members of the Twentythird and Fourth Iowa regiments. In all there were forty-nine old veterans in this division. The Kinsman post was in com mand of Commander J. D. McGarrugh. At its head marched Color Bearer Robert McNulty, carrying the colors of his post, while at his side marched Color Sergeant Marion Howard of the old Twenty-third Iowa, carrying the battle-scarred flag of the Twenty-third regiment. TWENTY-THIRD REGIMENT FLAG. Though this is not the flag that was carried at Black river COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. bayou, that having been destroyed, it is, nevertheless, the one that the regiment brought out of service with it. The flag is one of the treasured relics in the battleflag case at the state capitol and permission to bring it here was secured only after the greatest difficulty, as the flag is nearly in pieces. Marion Howard, who carried the Twenty-third regiment flag in the parade yesterday, was the color sergeant of the regiment for eleven months under appointment by Colonel- Kinsman. He was wounded at Champion hill, the day before Black river, and consequently did not carry the colors in that battle. He now resides at Keene, near Des Moines. Among the other members of Kinsman post to come from Des Moines yesterday for the monument unveiling were: J. J. Wildsie, Twenty-third Iowa; George C. Sims, Fourth Iowa; Jerry Williams, Twenty-third Iowa; Joel Taft, Twentythird Iowa; Robert McNulty, Fourth Iowa; J. R. Crawshaw, Twenty-third Iowa; J. L. Miller, Twenty-third Iowa; J. W. Stewart, Twenty-third Iowa; J. H.- Dean, Twenty-third Iowa; Robert Howard, Twenty-third Iowa; T. J. Saylor, Twenty-third Iowa; Elija Trent, Twenty-third Iowa; G. W. Entreville, Twen ty-third Iowa; C. FI. Gross, Twenty-third Iowa; D. S. McQuiston. Twenty-third Iowa; J. J. Draper, Twenty-third Iowa; Sheppe W. Betts, Twenty-third Iowa; C. M. Christian, Twentythird Iowa. Other veterans from Des Moines: F. P. Morgan, Forty-seventh Iowa; F. M. Hutchinson, Twenty-third Iowa; John Lowman, Twenty-third Iowa; S. H. Angelo, Twenty-third Iowa; J. K. Deaton, Twenty-third Iowa; A. Warnock, Twentythird Iowa; John C. Hanes, Twenty-third Iowa. PHILIPPINE VETERANS. Following the old veterans were the members of Camp John L. Moore of this city, Iowa Army of the Philippines, many of them wearing the khaki uniforms in which they saw service in the Philippines. The next in line were the members of the Union Veteran Legion No. 8, Abe Lincoln post No. 29, G. A. R., of this city, together with other veteran soldiers and sailors. Ninety-eight old soldiers marched in this division. Then came the carriages bearing the members of the Women's Relief corps, citizens and the officials of the city. COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. In the first of these latter carriages were Mayor Morgan, Aldermen Lougee, Lovett and McDonald. In the second car riage were Aldermen Casper, Fleming, Huber and Tinley, while in the third carriage were Alderman Olson, City Clerk Phillips, City Solicitor Snyder and Chief of Police Tibbits. In the fourth carriage were the members of the library board, consisting of President M. F. Rohrer, Finley Burke, W. S. Baird and Ed Troutman. The line was formed on Willow avenue, the head of the column resting at the corner of Willow avenue and Pearl street and extending back on Willow avenue to Sixth street and north on Sixth street. The procession moved east on Willow avenue to Main street, north on Main street to Washington avenue, up Wash ington avenue to Oakland avenue and thence to Fairview ceme tery. At the gates of the cemetery the detail of police, the Dodge Light Guard and the High School Cadets opened ranks, permitting the remainder of the column to pass through. The military companies then took a short route to the soldiers' circle, where they were assigned to positions about the monument. At the close of the services the procession was again formed and marched back to the G. A. R. hall, where the participants broke ranks.—Nonpareil, May i8, 1902. MONUMENT UNVEILED. KINSMAN SHAFT DULY PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC.— MAJOR GENERAL DODGE WAS PRESIDENT OF THE DAY.—SEES THAT HIS CHERISHED HOPE IS REAL IZED.—COLONEL KINSMAN'S REMAINS IN HONORED GR.AVE GUARDED BY A STATELY MONUMENT. The scene yesterday afternoon at Fairview cemetery at the unveiling of the Kinsman memorial monument following the parade was one that will be long remembered by the several thousands present, and especially by the old veterans, the natural environments and the solemnity of the services being such as to make it most impressive. COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. Situated as the monument is, on the highest point of a narrow ridge of bluffs, the very image of hundreds of southern battlefields whose steep sides have been dyed with the crimson blood of the union and confederate soldiers alike, the monument seems almost like a memorial not to one hero alone, but to thou sands of others who gave up their lives while charging up the side of just such a bluff as the one on which the monument now stands. The beautiful view that is to be had from the monu ment extending for miles in all directions, is also an epitome of the nation for which the civil war heroes gave their lives. The monument is also happily situated not only with a view to making it a most beautiful memorial for the gallant Colonel Kinsman, but also as it should be, in the center of the circle in which are buried other comrades and veterans of the civil war. The monument standing as it does in the center of the soldiers' circle, surrounded by the heavy stone battlements at the compass points of which are the four large guns, is given a military at mosphere that would otherwise be impossible. Standing also as it does in the very center of the soldiers' burying circle it sheds alike its lustre over the graves of the dead comrades buried there, just as did the noble life of the man to whom it was erected, cast a lustre about his comrades on the field of battle. SCENE AT THE MONUMENT. To the charm of these natural environments yesterday was added the presence of several thousand people who had gathered to witness the ceremony of the unveiling of the monument. On a stand erected at the south side of the stone bulwarks surround ing the monument, sat the prominent speakers and visitors of the day. These included Maj.-Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, presi dent of the day; Ideut. J. A. Straight, J. W. Deweese, Emmet Tinley, all of whom delivered addresses; Rev. G. W. Snyder, chaplain of the day. Spencer Smjth, members of the Dudley Buck quartet and others. Grouped about the interior of the bat tlements were the old soldiers and veterans, city officials and others, while lined up about the outside of the stone embankments were the High School Cadets, Dodge Light Guard, members of Camp John L. Moore Philippine veterans, together with car riages and thousands of visitors. So great was the crowd when the services began, that the entire summit of the bluff on which COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. the soldiers' circle and the Kinsman monument is situated was covered to its very edges with people. From the center of this imposing assemblage rose the shaft of the monument veiled in the stars and stripes of the national emblem. The services immediately preceding the unveiling of the monument were simple and unostentatious. The assemblage was called to order by General Dodge and the services were opened with prayer by the Rev. G. W. Snyder in which he asked for the perpetuity of the nation for which Colonel Kinsman had given his life. The prayer was followed with the singing of "America" by the Dudley Buck quartet. GENER.A.L DODGE'S INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. General Dodge then, as president of the day and as a close personal friend of Colonel Kinsman, delivered a few introductory remarks in which he said: "My Comrades, Friends and Citizens: We meet here to honor and commemorate a comrade, whom I have known prob ably longer and better than any one here present, and one very dear to me. It is not, however, my intention to speak to you of him. I paid my tribute to him in official reports that are a matter of record and within the year, but before his body was found, wrote my recollection of him that were published in the January number of the Annals of Iowa. There are others pres ent who will pay eloquent tribute to his memory. "It is a great pleasure and satisfaction to me to see so many of his comrades, friends, citizens and school children present, and I wish to impress upon them the lesson that this day teaches. It is thirty-nine years ago today since our comrade fell in battle, and after long search his comrades have rescued his remains from the field of battle and planted them here and erected this simple but appropriate monument to his memory, proving that no matter how humble the position of a soldier whose loyalty to his country determined him to defend it, that his acts and his ser vices have never been forgotten. To these young people who are here before me, let me assure them that if ever their country calls it should be not only a duty but a pleasure for them to re spond, as our comrade Kinsman did, and they like him will be remembered and honored, and if he could speak to you today he would say to you that, above all things, 'Loyalty to one's COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. country is one of the citizen's first duty. It is the law of both God and man,' and should never for one moment be forgotten. "I wish, on behalf of the comrades, of the citizens, of the friends and scholars, to thank most cordially Lieut. J. A. Straight, Jesse Truitt and Comrade Oldham of the Twenty-third Iowa, for their labor of love which resulted in the locating and sending the remains of Colonel Kinsman to his home. Mr. Oldham died soon after his return from Vicksburg. I wish also to thank the firm of Sheely & Lane of this city, the manufacturers of the simple but beautiful monument we have erected in this appropriate spot. "The shaft has wound around it the Star Spangled Banner, the banner that was carried in the celebrated charge at Black river bayou, where the brave and gallant Twenty-third Iowa, led by the intrepid Colonel Kinsman, won a great victory. Kinsman laying down his life upon the enemy's entrenchments. "As we unveil the monument the band will play the "Star Spangled Banner, the quartet will lead and the audience join in singing that national tune." MONUMENT UNVEILED. As the large assemblage led by the band and the quartet joined in the singing of "The Spangled Banner," General Dodge gave the signal and the large American flag that had veiled the monument was dropped to the ground, disclosing to view the beautiful granite shaft and the bronze medallion of Colonel Kins man. Few of those present had as yet seen the shaft, and as the flags dropped to the ground, the view thus given of the monu ment created vigorous applause. The monument proved all that has been said of it. Made of Vermont granite and standing twenty feet high on a base four feet and ten inches square, it makes a most imposing memorial. The greater part of the monument consists of a tall granite shaft, eighteen inches in diameter on the top of which is a granite ball. Encircling the shaft is a carved flag highly polished. On the four sides of the cap stone on which the shaft rests are carved the G. A. R. badge. On the south side of the next stone below is the life sized basrelief bust of Colonel Kinsman, showing him in full uniform. Above the medallion is inscribed "Col. William H. Kinsman," and below, "Born July ii, 1832, Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. Killed COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. in battle of Black River Bayou, May 17, 1863." On the west side is the inscription, "Erected by his comrades and the citizens and school children of Council Bluffs, Iowa, May 17, 1902." On the east side is the inscription, "Teacher in the public school of Council Bluffs, lieutenant and captain Company B, Fourth Iowa infantry, lieutenant-colonel and colonel of the Twenty-third Iowa infantry," while the north side is blank. On the stone just below and on the side on which the medallion is fastened is carved two crossed sabers, while on the next stone below is the name "Kins man," in large raised letters. The monument is in seven pieces. It was made in the east after designs furnished by General Dodge and is in every respect a most beautiful memorial. The lettering and erection was done by Sheely & Lane of this city. During the ceremony of unveiling and for some time pre vious the weather which had been hot and sultry during the fore part of the afternoon, became threatening and a large number of people hastily left the cemetery. Rain fell for several minutes and a few large hailstones. The program, however, was carried out as had been planned. Immediately following the unveiling, Emmet Tinley delivered the first address. Even as he was speak ing the weather became more and more threatening, the clouds gathering in dark masses in the west, and lightning occasionally piercing the sky. In consideration of the other speakers yet to follow, Mr. Tinley left out parts of his speech, but his address was nevertheless most appropriate and polished and was received with vigorous applause. ADDRESS BY EMMET TINLEY. "Today our city mourns and rejoices. Mourns for her dead son and rejoices in the glory of his death. With solemn rever ence we shed our tears and breathe our purest prayers at the foot of this shaft and with joyous acclaim we congratulate ourselves for the rich inheritance of his life and death. The orator is ex pected to tell the story of battle and its hero to our pleasant edi fication and instruction. And, indeed, he should have little diffi culty with such a theme as the death of a brave soldier. But we, whose ears have never heard the awful thunders of war and whose eyes have never witnessed the dreadful scenes of such human conflicts, are poorly prepared to meet the requirements of occasions of this character. Words from the inexperienced, so ' ♦.A'.'.,-''' ,.r- ' 104 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. lamentably fail, as to be merely an apology for the more appro priate messenger. "Forty-two years ago W. H. Kinsman lived in his quiet way as our citizen. Thirty-nine years ago Colonel .Kinsman died the hero of our city and state. The remembrance of those few years of his life is prolific with the gratitude of many of our people for his good deeds. The glory of his death illumines a distant page in the everlasting calendar of fame, so gratifying to the pride of our commonwealth. As teacher, as editor and as lawyer, much might be said, yet but little that is distinctively his fortune. In these three greatest of avenues for human endeavor he left lasting marks of his character. "With the first call for troops he registered the scroll of his patriotism, and when Company B of the Fourth Iowa began the making of history the pen was in the hand of Kinsman. "Who can measure his sacrifice for his country? Who will venture to speak of his regrets, as he beheld the ruins of his am bition in a professional life. He was just beginning the practice of the law. Undoubtedly he cherished the same hopes and am bitions of ever}' other young lawyer. His dreams were as rose ate, his phantasma as wondrous as those of his successors of this generation. The fame of his dreams and the ambition of his hopes were sacrificed to his country and he abandoned the bar to become a soldier. What impulse but patriotism could thus revolutionize human hopes and endeavor. "DeTocqueville divides patriotism into two classes, patriot ism of instinct and patriotism of reason. One an innate passion which induces causeless sacrifice and inordinate action; the other, intelligent recognition of duty. One, the child of sentiment; the other, the progency of the intellect. Each the result of the ex tremely potential human faculties—emotion or reason. Instinct prompts the fearless defense of domicile in which we have no in terest, while reason impells the greatest of human sacrifice for home and country in which we have an interest. This analysis of patriotism does not imply that selfishness dominates the motives of intelligent men—but rather, that interest marshals the forces of the reason, intensifying our effort in behalf of country. "American patriotism is induced by both causes. The in- COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. stinct and reason; the heart and the brain. A combination of the emotions of instinct and the serious thoiightfulness of intelli gence. In its development, fear, hope, avarice, pride, duty and responsibility are important factors. It is when we consider the inspiring character of American patriotism that we can under stand the irresistible force of American arms. For he is, indeed, a monstrosity who can understand and enjoy the grand privileges of our government and hesitate when his life is required for the defense of that government. "I cannot, in the few moments allotted to me, follow the short yet glorious career of our hero. The story of his life from October loth, 1861, to May 17th, 1863, is the history of the Fourth and Twenty-third Iowa regiments, and the history of these regiments is the hi.story of the great war. From Rolla to Black river bridge, from captain to colonel, is the story of our hero's life and death. "Of this history, so replete with glory and heroic genius, I will claim your attention to the account of his part in the great battle at Pea Ridge by his loyal friend, our honored citizen, the hero of that great battle. General Dodge: " 'At the battle of Pea Ridge I was instructed to make a de tail of three companies to hold the extreme left of Colonel Carr's division, which was the Pea Ridge mountain. This ridge divided General Curtis' army. Colonel Carr's division occupying ground to the east and north of the mountain and facing General Price's army—General Davis with his division occupying the west and south sides of the mountain, fronting Gen. Van Dorn. This mountain made a division of Van Dom's army, and he made a fatal mistake in dividing his force and sending part under Price to attack our rear, giving us the short interior line, while his line was so long and his divisions so far apart that he could not re inforce either division of his army by details from another. They were not in close touch throughout the battle. Van Dorn's army was fully double that of Curtis, and if he had attacked with his whole force from the west, there is no doubt that he would have had a much harder struggle and probably a different result. As that detail was to be away from me, out of my reach, and it was necessary to depend upon the judgment of the officer command ing, I selected Colonel Kinsman with his own company and two 106 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. companies of the Twenty-fourth Missouri. Kinsman in his re port says that his command was stretched out across the south end of the mountain as skirmishers, and the enemy thought they were a whole regiment, and when opposed they were opposed only by skirmishers. They held their position throughout the first day and had only one man wounded. Going over their front the next day he found eleven dead, shot with musket balls. There were some Indians with the enemy who shot arrows. Like all the rest of the officers and men of the Fourth, he had no sleep for two nights. I find in my official report the following on his action that day; " 'Company B, under Captain Kinsman, with two companies of the Twenty-fourth Missouri, were on the 7th ordered to the extreme left of the division, to hold our left flank and check the enemy upon the high hill—Pea Ridge. He did this very effect ively that day and rendered very efficient service. "He joined the regiment again about 5 oclock that evening and took part in the final charge that day. ordered by General Curtis in person. General Curtis speaks of this charge as follows: " 'As I came up the Fourth Iowa was falling back for car tridges, in line, dressing on their colors, in perfect order. Sup posing with my reinforcements I could entirely regain our lost ground, I ordered the regiment to halt and face about. Colonel Dodge came up, explaining the want of cartridges, and informed of my purpose, he ordered a bayonet charge, and they moved again with steady nerve to their former position, where the gal lant Ninth was ready to support them. These two regiments won imperishable fame. " 'After the battle Captain Kinsman came to me and called my attention to the fact that the regiment next morning was in tact, with not a man missing except its killed and wounded, and in a very friendly and complimentary way said that he now ap preciated all the work they had had to do in the past year, and what it meant. In fact, the whole Fourth Iowa learned then the value of discipline and drill. They saw other regiments, when they lost their officers, melt away, but the Fourth Iowa, with not a field officer left, never had a straggler.' "The loyalty of General Dodge to his friend in restoring his bones to the soil of his home and erecting this monument to .V ' is. i 1 \ :rL „ A .. ■ '. - 1 O OQ 1 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 107 11 1 his memory has its counterpart at Pea Ridge. A monument, sir, more enduring than this shaft of granite was erected by your dead friend, proclaiming your fidelity, skill and genius. His experience and training under your command, made possible his achievement. He possessed all the characteristics of a thorough soldier. With courage indomitable; perseverance, defiant and consciousness of duty, supreme. He feared no consequence to himself, but in the plan and maneuver of battle his execution was for success alone. He was cool of temper, calculating and de termined. Not animated by reckless bravado, yet was not de terred from necessary exposure for fear of personal harm. His concepi.ions of a soldier's responsibilities were of the highest order. He was a leader rather than a director. His commands were 'follow' rather than 'go.' With him life was a license for action, and not merely a privilege for rest and ease. The force of his energy was spontaneous and steady to the end. Not a gradual dimming but only a slight flicker from dazzling light of his day to blackest night. His former mortal wound served to increase his consciousness that his hours were few and his duties many, and with supreme generosity expended every mo ment for his country. "What is the meaning of this ceremony? Merely an ex pression of respect and gratitude of the friends and comrades of Colonel Kinsman? Let us hope that no one will leave this sacred spot with such an idle thought. Far better to have left the bones of the gallant Kinsman to complete the assimilation with the soil sanctified as the spot of his glorious death, than that his burial at home should furnish the occasion to indulge such a dis play of unpardonable vanity. This shaft, endurable as human skill can constuct, yet but temporary as compared with fame's eternal record, stands for the loyalty, the devotion, the gratitude, the liberality and the patriotism of our people. It is Colonel Kinsman's monument. It is a loving expression of the gratitude and remembrance of his comrades and friends, yet it proclaims that, even in these days of extreme commercialism, our country commands our highest endeavor and most loyal devotion. "It proclaims the security of American patriotism. 'It proclaims the eternal confidence of our people in the constitution and the perpetuity of the union. io8 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. "It proclaims the lasting loyalty of Iowa and her people for Old Glory, which Kinsman loved and for which Kinsman died. "Iowa—great and glorious Iowa,—'The hearts of whose people, like the rivers of her borders, flow to an inseparable union,' made more glorious by the life and death of Colonel Kinsman." Following, the quartet sang "Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground." By the time Lieut. J. A. Straight of Washington, rose to deliver the eulogy on his old comrade and officer, it was only too apparent that the weather was going to interfere. He had not proceeded far with his address, when large drops of rain began to fall and continued to increase both in size and number until a veritable rain storm was on. Spencer Smith, who was sitting on the platform, hastily secured an umbrella which he held over Lieutenant Straight during the remainder of his ad dress, although at times the rain and hail threatened to put a stop to everything. The audience, however, did not fare as well as the speaker. While a number of them had umbrellas under which as many gathered as possible, a great many more had none, especially the old veterans, but these only gathered closer about the speakers and listened more attentively. Lieutenant Straight's address was a complete review of Col onel Kinsman's life, especially his war record, which Mr. Straight was well qualified to give, having been close in touch with Kins man during his armv career. LIEUTENANT STRAIGHT'S EULOGY. "Friends and Fellow Citizens: We are assembled this 17th of May, A. D. 1902, to honor the memory of a beloved brother and comrade, who this day thirty-nine years ago freely gave his life, a sacrifice upon the altar of his country that it might live to become the greatest among the world's comity of nations. "William H. Kinsman was born in the year 1834, in the province of Nova Scotia, county of Kings, and town of Cornwallis. His father—Theodorus Kinsman—^was a small farmer and very poor in this world's goods, but he bequeathed his son a rugged constitution and honorable parentage,—the best gifts that can be bestowed upon any soul under the broad canopy of ■ , ' ■ , ' , ' t.; V . •• COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. /f, heaven! He trained him to labor, and instilled in him honest principles. His early education was limited to a few terms at the village school. At the age of fifteen he gained his father's consent to ship on a whaling vessel, and was absent upon a cruise about three and one-half years. He saved his earnings and upon his return went to an academy in Columbia county. New York, for two years, fitting himself for the duties of a school teacher. He then went to Cuyhoga county, Ohio, and taught a village school one term, taking up a course of reading in the text books looking towards the study of law, and in the evenings attended law lectures in the city of Cleveland. After two years of teaching and study in Ohio, he came to Council Bluffs, secured a situation as teacher in one of the schools of this city, known then as the Stutsman school, and also attached himself to the leading law firm of Council Bluffs—Clinton & Baldwin—as a law student; and his restless, active brain also inspired him to contribute editorials to 'The Nonpareil,' then a struggling infant in the editorial field. "In October, 1859, admitted to practice in the courts of Iowa, but continued teaching until the Pike's Peak excite ment of that year begat a fever in his blood that he could resist no longer, and packing a knapsack with food and a change of clothing he tramped to the then celebrated camp of Cherry creek, where he took up a claim, mined for a few months, during which time he also wrote for 'The Rocky Mountain News,' when it was first established, and eastern papers. He became inter ested in some congressional action in the interest of a new ter ritory, out of which grew the great state of Colorado, and was sent with other delegates to Washington, in the winter of 1859- 60, to further that object. At the close of the session he returned to Council Bluffs, and soon thereafter entered into partnership with the late Hon. D. C. Bloomer. He was a natural republican in his political views, and took an active part in the campaign of 1860, which resulted in the election of Abraham Lincoln. "When the great shadows of the civil war came upon us in 1861, and the wires flashed the intelligence to the excited and loyal people of this city that Sumpter had been fired upon, knots of men gathered upon the one street of Council Bluffs, whisper ing to each other in bated breath, fearing lest listening friend COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. might differ from friend should they proclaim their loyalty, all hoping that the news thus proclaimed would prove false. A young man of stalwart frame and clear blue eye emerged from the office of Hon. D. C. Bloomer, (one of the old time land marks of Broadway) and announced in the most positive manner that 'if the men of the south had fired upon Sumpter and the star spangled banner, he was ready to go forth and defend his adopt ed country with his life, if need be.' In a few hours a company of men was enrolled, and Gen. G. M. Dodge elected captain, and our hero was of that company. Telegrams were sent by Judge Baldwin and others to the governor of Iowa, tendering the ser vices of those loyal and enthusiastic defenders of their country's flag, and that company became the nucleus of Company B of the Fourth Iowa. PATRIOTISM ADOPTED. "As we turn for a moment from the military history of the man whose memory we revere, and today seek to honor, let us think of him as a new compatriot. Born under the influences and inspirations of a foreign country and flag, taught by fond parents to revere the name of their sovereign, it would have been but natural that this young man should consider well the step he was taking. His nature was to act upon the impulses of his heart, and his heart was patriotic to the core. Fie loved America for what it promised to the young citizen. Patriotism with him was not an idle dream, but a stem reality, a fixed principle in which his whole life was to be a part. He believed his adopted country was worth saving and he was ready to do his part in that saving. To him there was but one duty—one plain path to follow, and while with others conversing on the portent of the dispatches and the direful consequences of a civil war, he turned and walked into the office, took down a small flag that hung there, walked to the pavement, and while waving it in the breeze, with tears in his eyes, began calling for volunteers to join him in defending that flag against all its enemies. 'Twas thus he was baptized into that vast loyal army of patriots—'twas thus he became an American by second birth. He was born again, to go forth and do and die for his beloved, yet adopted country, and flag. Those of us who are so fortunate as to possess a portrait of him taken in 1861, will reflect that it represents the face of a m-'Mi 241 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. gentle, blue-eyed young man whose every look suggests truth, confidence, and a desire for peace, and a life free from turmoil and dissension; but those who followed him as their leader in company and regiment, know full well that underneath that peaceful brow and calm demeanor was an active, positive nature that allowed no defeat—no turning aside from a fixed and un alterable law of duty. He grasped the situation as it appeared to him and mastered it. He was born a soldier, with all that term implies, and yet a tender hearted man. military history. "When the gallant men of the Fourth Iowa infantry with its colonel—our honored presiding officer today—marched away from this city in 1861, everyone of its thousands or more mem bers were living examples of devoted patriotism. They marched forth to do or die for their country and the flag presented to them by the loving and patriotic ladies of Council Blufis, with the prayers of loving parents and fond maidens to cheer their brave hearts. "One second lieutenant there v;as, however, who left in Iowa no kindred, no home, no father or mother to pray for him or wish him a safe return with wreaths of laurel on his brow; but he left hosts of friends whose warm hearts had found a place for the jovial, true hearted, earnest young man, and many kind words were bestowed upon him as he took his place in the line and marched away to the rattle of drums and the shrill notes of the fife. Those of us left behind upon that day will never forget the thrill that pulsed through our being as our brothers and friends took up their line of march. Would they ever come back to us?—was murmured from lip to lip, and its echo now comes, —for verily there were many who never returned! "Our second lieutenant soon proved that he was fit for more important duties and was made captain of his company soon after the Fourth arrived at Rolla, Mo., and at the great and hard fought battle of Pea Ridge his devoted friend and brigade com mander, then Col. G. iM. Dodge, gave him a detached command, and he performed his duty so wisely and successfully as to re ceive a commendatory notice from his commander. The march from Pea Ridge to Helena, Ark., brought out that character which stamped him as worthy of a higher place, and he was COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. offered an appointment as assistant adjutant-general with the rank of captain. This he declined, saying he wanted to remain with his company, where he could take his share of the hard ships and fighting. But he was very soon afterwards tendered the lieutenant-colonelcy of the Twenty-third infantry, which he accepted,—^joining the regiment while it was in camp at Des Moines, early in September, 1862. From the very first he be came a favorite with the boys of that regiment. His frank, gen erous ways won a place in their hearts at once, and from ad miration at first they learned to love him later with a love that surpassed all favor—'in camp, or field, or carnage wild, 'twas all the same, beloved was he.' "The death of Col. William Dewey, on November 30, 1862, at Patterson, Mo., was followed by William H. Kinsman be coming colonel of his regiment. You, my fellow comrades, present today, may recall the joy with which that event was wel comed. Every soldier respected his late colonel, but they loved their new commander with a fervent love, and in return he had learned to regard his soldiers with more than a commander's solicitude. It was such a mutual love as will cause men to suffer and die for each other, if need be, and the first test came when his regiment was placed under arrest, at Houston, Mo., for a breach of discipline. This breach of discipline consisted of foraging for something to stay their hunger after a three days march on one day's ration. General .Davidson ordered the regi ment under arrest, took away the colonel's sword, and ordered the regiment to carry their arms and baggage on the march,— which they refused to do unless Colonel Kinsman was released. Colonel Kinsman was requested to order the regiment to march, which he declined to do while under arrest. A battery was then ordered into position to enforce the General's orders, and its officers and men declined to fire upon the Twenty-third. General Davidson then surrendered gracefully, releasing the regiment from arrest and placing the Colonel practically in command until its return to Arcadia, where Colonel Kinsman reported to General Curtis, and before a court martial was acquitted of all charges preferred against him. Thus was shown the mutual love that existed between the loved Colonel, in his efforts to care for his soldiers and his men—who were ready to die rather than submit to his degradation for their sake. COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. 113 "Our Colonel returned to his command during its march after crossing the Mississippi at Bruinsburg, on the eve of the battle of Port Gibson, which took place May i, 1863. His earn est desire to be present with his 'boys,' when they should meet the enemy, caused him much anxiety. Leaving St. Louis about the 20th of April it was only by the most determined efforts and insistence that he secured transportation upon the transports to Milliken's Bend, the point of departure of General Grant's army in its circuitous approach to the rear of Vicksburg, and as the army had left and arrived at the river below, at Hard Times, it became necessary that he should wait for other forces or make his way across as best he might, through the country held by the enemy, or hunt his way through lagoons, bayous and swamps on tiie west side of the river, until he could reach the steamers at Perkins' plantation. With the ardor and determination ever his, he chose the latter expedient, and after rafting and walking over forty miles across the country reached Bruinsburg in. time to cross the river at that point with the army that' fought and won the victory at Magnolia church, now known as the battle of Port Gibson. In the march of the regiment that dark night of April 30, at about the hour of ii p. m., while feeling its way through a narrow gorge in those Mississippi hills, with Com panies A and B deployed as skirmishers on each side of the road, the regiment well in advance of its supporting column, he related to some of his friends the hardships he had undergone to reach 'his boys' so as to be with them when they met the enemy, and before he had concluded his narrative a six-gun battery opened upon us with grape shot from the head of the defile, and that interesting story was closed. "The beautiful first of May, with its magnolia blossoms, its singing of birds at early dawn, was ushered in with the roar of death dealing shells, the clashing of steel, the rattling of musketry and the charge of solid ranks of brave boys in blue against the solid masses of the brave men in gray, which stood like a wall in our pathway to the stronghold of Vicksburg. In the front rank of that successful charging column were the lads whose pride was to weave laurel wreaths for their brave and loved colonel. This important victory caused them to leave upon the open field twenty-four of their number killed and 114 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. wounded. The enemy retreated and the onward march was resumed. "From Raymond to Jackson in rain and mud it became part of the duty of his regiment to move the siege guns along with the column, and for fifteen miles in mud up to axles, his patient soldiers tugged at the cable attached to the lead chain of those guns, and scarce a murmur was heard, although wading knee deep in the slush with the rain pouring down steadily the whole day. Such was the effective training of the ever patient, attentive commander,—that no hardship was too great to be endured for him. , "On the evening of May i6th, 1863, the Twenty-third ar rived at Edwards' Station, after a most exciting charge after the retreating enemy from Champion hill, a distance of several miles, in which many prisoners had been taken. Haversacks had been empty for several days, and being in the advance a ruse was effectually worked upon the enem}', so that several thousand rations were secured by means of a dispatch sent by one of our telegraphers to General Bowen at Vicksburg, to hurry rations to Edwards' Station to meet Pemberton's returning army. We enjoyed the rancid bacon, cow peas and pea bred with brown sugar for the first time, with a destructive relish. Our valiant Colonel remarked that it was the first issue of rations by the confederate commissary to Grant's victorious army. That night Colonel Kinsman received orders to march at daybreak on the right of the railroad to near Smith's Station, move to the right and take post next to Black river and await orders. It was my privilege to occupy a position on the bare ground, without blanket or cover, under an oak tree with the brave soldier whose mortal remains lie here, and we talked, as soldiers will, of the loved ones at home, and the possible events that might happen on the morrow. We had been friends before the storm of war broke upon us; our lives had been upon parallel lines; and our sympathies had gone out to each other and we both felt that there might come to one or both of us a cup of sorrow in the near future. He said: 'The Twenty-third may suffer terribly tomorrow. I have asked to lead the column, and if there is a fight, we'll be in it, and I know my boys will never retreat. Some of us will die, and it may be you and I; God only knows! If it COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. IS to be so, I am ready to die for my country'—^the most glorious country under the sun.' "At daylight the regiment was on the road, and after forcing the enemy's pickets back for about three miles, moved to the bank of Big Black river, under cover of which the regiment worked its way to within two hundred feet of the left of the riflepits and breastworks of the enemy. The brigade, consisting of the Twenty-first, Twenty-second and Twenty-third Iowa regi ments and the Eleventh Wisconsin, under command of Brig.- Gen. Michael Lawler, formed the attacking column, the Twentythird being in advance, the Twenty-first, Twenty-second and Eleventh Wisconsin took position along the river bank further to the east. During the artillery fire which ensued, observations were made, and it was discovered through a negro that an open roadway through the breastworks existed at a point where a bayou left the cane-break, and that if a charge became neces sary, that point must be made. This compelled the charging regiment to cross an open cotton field under the deathly fire of the enemy from the flank as well as front, and our brave hero was asked if he could make it successfully. He replied: 'My boys will follow where I lead. I await your orders.' "The order came, and at a signal, like a cloud bursting from a clear sky, a solid line of brave boys in blue mounted the river bank without firing a gun, and flying as upon the wings of the wind across those cotton rows into the jaws of death—into the very rain of fire, of shot and shell, up against a solid line of brave men in gray, with a torrent of musketry thick as hail-stones tear ing their ranks upon the left flank, with men falling like leaves in autumn—yet ever onward went the bravest of the brave, until the bayou was crossed and the strong works were taken, the enemy flying, throwing their guns into the river, breaking them on the trees of the forest, only to escape as their last resort! But where was the brave commander? About fifty feet from the top of the river bank, while waving his sword and coolly ordering the regiment to be steady, double-quick, march, he was shot, a minie bullet passing through his sword belt, and entirely through his body from the left side, his face being turned towards his regiment as he was urging them into a rush upon the enemy's works. La'" _ ^ A;' '...t.;'' A; »<-* ■ ..v. / . V ii6 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. "He said to a comrade who stopped to ask him where he was shot, 'I am all right—go on with the boysl Give me your canteen; the Twenty-third will get there! Go and help them!' and with his hand upon the bleeding wound, proceeded to tear part of his shirt to staunch the flow of blood. "The boys did get there, and as they passed over the breast works after passing through a bayou of water up to their arm pits, leaving ninety officers and men scattered on the cotton field dead and wounded, their loved commander, their wounded and dying colonel, without coat, hat or sword-belt, came rushing across the bayou like as upon the wings of the wind, and with his naked sword waving around his head, shouting, 'My brave boys; I knew you would do it!' and while shouting 'On boys, on to the bridge,' a stray shot from some Tennesscean to the right of him passed through his body from right to left. "I happened to be only a few feet from him when he re ceived this last shot, and carried him under the shade of a friend ly tree that stood in the line of breastworks, and was soon joined by tender hearts who did all they could to staunch his death wounds and soften his dying pillow as best they could. He was borne on stretcher by four of his own boys to the beautiful grounds around a plantation mansion near by, the home of Colonel Marshall, then an officer on General Pemberton's staff, still living upon the old plantation, where he was tenderly cared for until the following day, when his soul took its flight to the Paradise of God. "We stood beside him as the angel of death hovered over his rude couch and beckoned his soul away to Paradise, and we listened to catch those dying words—'Tell the boys I die happy. I fell at the head of my regiment doing my duty; bury me on the field of battle.' Under the scorching rays of the southland sun, at the hour of n a. m, on the i8th day of May, 1863, His life passed out on the unknown sea, A life that was pure as pure could be. While that martial tread oi his comrades was near And the threatening roar of the cannons we hear— I said in my heart that our nation must live Perpetuated by the blood of such lives as his. "The sun was sinking in a bank of crimson clouds beyond the Vicksburg hills, and enshrouded in his uniform, with his COL. W. H. KINSMAN AIEMORIAL. blanket wrapped closely about the form so loved in life, his rude coffin was lowered into his earthly tomb, under the spreading branches of a majestic O'ld oak, and as the clods were falling upon his mortal remains, a few devoted friends and comrades were silently wiping tears of affection from their eyes, while from all around us came the groans of the wounded and prayers of the dying, ascending to the throne of the Ruler of all nations. As we marched away to resume the duties of soldiers once more, we thought: How little we reck, as day by day, A soldier dies and is laid away. How great the sorrow it brings to some heart Whose life, with his life, was a living part. "His devoted friend and comrade. Gen. G. M. Dodge, caused his mouldering remains to be taken from southern soil in which he has laid entombed these thirty-nine years past, and his many friends have contributed of their substance to erect a suitable monument to his memory, that his example and worth as a soldier and citizen may be handed down to our children's children. No monumental pile can tell the true story of his sacrifice; no poet can sing the full meed of his praise. "Though born on foreign soil, he was of America for his country, and died that it might continue to live. "Friends and Comrades, I can add no greater tribute to his memory at this day than to close with the words written upon the battlefield after he was laid to rest: A more noble man never lived; A braver man never died for his country; A more generous hearted man never wore shoulder-straps, than whose remains lie here, and in whose honor this monument has been erected." J. W. DEWEESE SPEAKS. Following this address the quartet sang "The Vacant Chair," and the closing address was made by J. W. Deweese, of Lincoln, Neb., a sergeant in Company G of the old Twentythird Iowa. His address was short, being largely in the nature of a heart to heart talk with the old soldiers, which was thorough- ii8 COL. W. H. KINSMAN MEMORIAL. ly enjoyed by even'one of them, although the rain continued to fall in big and frequent drops. Mr. Deweese said in part: "I will have to call your attention to the fact that there is a silver lining to all clouds, and while the clouds this afternoon are dropping with rain, yet I know you will not mind that. None of you were sunshine soldiers; you fought during the storm as , well, and I know you will not mind the rain this afternoon. j "It is good for us all to be here. The deep interest which j I see depicted on every face as I look about me makes me realize that there is a love going out from every soldier tr our hero. Col. William H. Kinsman. This speaks well for the people everywhere for it guarantees a sentiment that will for ever insure the perpetuity of our government. ' "Colonel Kinsman was a brave soldier. In fact that chief ' characteristic of his soldier life was his ambition to be in the front, to be a leader. This made him one of the most heroic figures of the war." To prove this latter statement Mr. Deweese then proceeded to relate a number of incidents that had come under his observation during the war in which Colonel Kinsman ; had figured in a most heroic manner. In several of these in- j cidents old veterans of Colonel Kinsman's regiment who were present yesterday had themselves participated and his speech was most heartily applauded. j Following this latter address. Rev. Snyder delivered the "j benediction, and the old comrades and veterans forming in line i returned to the G. A. R. hall, where for the remainder of the afternoon and evening the old soldiers indulged in greeting comrades and recalling reminiscences of war times. , ■ I I I . 245 COL. W. H.

He directed the Shiloh National Military Park Commission to place a new inscription on the 81st Ohio Monument, and to locate the Monument at the point where the most notable action of the regiment took place. I am very sure that your letter served to interest the Secretary of War so that he ordered a most searching investigation. Yours truly, W. H. Chamberlain 257 May, 1902 Baltimore, May 14th, 1902 My dear General;- I have your favor of May 11th from Chica/ro. . I am on my way south, to be gone about ten days, after whinh I expect to be in New York. I note what you say about Jones' desire, and yours to build down to Stamford, and probably to Abilene; for the present 1J50 miles. That you want to form a Construction Company of v2000,000 ., which seems to me rather large if the figures you give of what the road will cost are correct; that is, from ten to twelve thousand dollars per mile. If you decide to build the road I will be glad to take an interest with you. I do not think there will be much trouble to carry the matter through, if, after an interview, it is decided to push it, Yours very truly, H. Walters, General C, M. Dodge, No.l Broadway.

Dodge, " -l j5^1 Broadway, ' New York City, My dear General: I am just back from Washington, where I appeared before the Senate Military Committee, in connection with the bill for the re-organiration of the Academy's plant. The committee's action will undoubtedly be favorable, and will recommend the restoration of the million the House of Representatives was fit to' cut off from the original estimates, I want to thank you for the copy of your speech in defense of the Army at the meeting of the York Commandery Military Order of the Loyal Legion. With all other officers of the Army we feel greatly indebted to you, and are glad to see the many favorable notices your remarks have drawn from the press. In connection with the coming Centennial celebra tion next month I hope you will give Mrs. Mills and myself the pleasure of being our guest while you are here, and if you can arrange to do so we hopr you will come up on tlie ICth of June and stay over until after Graduation exercises on the 12th, President Roosevelt will also be with us, but it is uncertain yet whether Mrs. Roosevelt and his daughter will accompany him. With kindest remembrances and wishes, I am. Sincerely yours, L,. Mill s. 261 May, 1902 Charleston, S. C., May 20th, 1902 Tuesday My dear General Dodge; Today is the actual anniversary of my entering your service, thirty years ago and I cannot allow it to pass without expressing to you, in detail, and as it were "officially" how fully I appreciate all you have done for me and how far you have aided me in achieving whatever success I may have made in life. To you I owe more, than I can express in words or on paper and I want you to know that I speak from my heart when I say "I thank you." and especially do I thank you for the high honor and complement you paid to me at the Union League Club on the 8th of May when in strong and kindly words you assured all of our friends that my thirty years service had been entirely satisfactory to you. It was a very gracious action on your part and I want to assure you that the pleasant memory shall endure with me so long as I live. Hoping that we may both live yet many years to be so very pleasantly associated in business and social life and with renewed expressions of my thanks, esteem and regard, I'am Very truly yours.

Cornelius Cadle of this city gave me the pleasure a day or two ago of reading your address recently delivered before the New York Commandery of the Loyal Legion, and reported by the New York Sun, on the su bject af the attacks upon our Army in the Philip pines. I wish to express ray profound thanks to you for answering in so admirable a manner the vicious attacks that have been made upon the Army for alleged cruelties in the Philippines. It is infamous that such attacks should be m-'de upon the valiart soldiers who have gone out to defend the Flag with their lives. The attacks are of the same character and kind and temper that were made upon the Union cause during the Civil V/ar by the miserable and traitorous copperheads. It is time that the Government and the people of this country were rising up in their wrath to resent the a tacks made upon our officers and soldiers in the Philippines, I only wanted to express my thanks to you for the very timely and admirable address you delivered in defence of the Amy. It has seemed to me that the authorities at Washington are somewhat timid and slow in going to the rescue of our brave men who have gone over there into that heathenish land to defend the Flag. The Loyal Legion of New York and of other cities it seems to me could well take up the cause of our troops in the Philippines. Very respectfully yours, Aaron A. Ferris, 265 Mav, 1902 Danvers, Mass., May 23, 1902 Gen. Granville Doctee, SireNew York, N. Y. The Tovm of Danvers, Massachusetts, respectfully invites you to attend the celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of its independent municipal existence on June 16 and 17th, 1902.

L'.y deor Colonel: 1 only returned Iromthe V.'est this morning whicih is the reason why your letter of Nay 16th did not receive am'earlier answer. You are very kind to ask me to be the guest of yourself and Lrs. Itills at ''Vest Point June 10th-12th, and I assure you I ac cept with great pleasure. I have made all ii.y arrangements to fee present, and if will will be with you. I note what you say about my talk to the Loyal Legion. I have been travelling in the est for three weeks, and found but one sentimient out there, - and that was in behalf of our army, and I received great consideration there simply on account of that article. I attended the n.eeting of the G.A.R. of the Ltate of Iowa, and they passed very strong resolutions. There were over a thousand dele gates present, and on a standing vote every one rose and voted in favor of the resolutions. I merely write this to let you know that the old army and the citizens generally do not take any stock in these attacks upon our army. They look at -it the same as I do, th<at is if there has be n anything done that would bear criticism whd,n the cricun.stances are known it will be found to have been just ified. lieve me, Please extend my kind regards to Mrs. wills, and beVery truly yours. Grenville M. Dodge. Col. A. L. Mills, West Point, N. Y. Vk-jCvi'i' 269 ' Carlinville, J-llino'is. May 25th 1902. General Dodge, —Iowa. Dear Sir: X hare rea.d your article in the Globe Democrat and my heart goes out to you in sympathy for the fighters of the Civil Vi'ar. My grandfather Senator Palmer goes over the same ground in his book "A story of an earnest Life" with the organization of his regiment the 14th 111. Inft. which he lead into Missouri from "Quincy■111. to Springfield Mp. against Price. He was in comnr^nd at Cairo 111. before the capture of Camp Jackson, St. L ouis. and came up the night before to the Planter's Hotel to plan the capture with Lyon nlair andothers. Yates had him load the arms of Jefferson Barricks on the to Srpingfield, All. The protecting arm of a Lincoln is appealed to many times in his contests with other powers andwhen Lincoln gave him the 14th Army Corps after the battle of Chattanooga Palmer felt amply repaid fOi any rebuffs he may have received from Stanton and Grant. The only time i ever saw Sherman was when he came up to Springfield to dedicate the Illinois flags in the 70*s. Grandfather met him at the train and they walked at the head of the troops from the depot to headquarters. I never understoodthe spirit that animated you fighters for the old flag until i read memors and autobiographies of Lherman, Logan and Palmer. T e Crisis by Churchill is a novel full of the old scenes and sentiments of our western country. 270 with the greatest respect and with the hope that i may some time see you, I am, John Palmer Matthews. I ■ May, 1902. New York City, I*i-ay'26, 1902. My dear Mr. Comri.issioner: I wish to express to you my great gratification at your appointment as Gornmissioner of Pensions. I remember you v-ill when you were on my stall, and am glad to see you in this position. I know what a difficult place it has been and wish to say that the service i received fromthe office under Commissioner Evans could not be criticised. You v/ill learn while there that a great many soldiers appeal to me fron. the fact that i have so long been the President of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, and of course it is my duty and pleasure to give them such assistance as 1 can. I en close a leti-.er from a comrade that served under me. Will you kindly have his matter looked up, and see what the troubles are in obtaining what he desires, and what (if anything) can be done to aid him. His regiment served under me for nearly three years, and no doubt he was an excellent soldier, as I selected officers for the colored regiments from the enlisted men who were highly re commended by their company and.regimental commanders. Truly and cordially yours. Gren\ille M. Dodge Hon. Eugene i. Ware, Comriiissioner of Pension?, Washington, D. 0. A lliU. 273 May, 1902 4743 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Ills May 26, 1902 Major Oenl. G. M. Dodge. Dear Sir:- I have been wanting to write to you for some time. Happily I see you was in Davenport and Rock Island last week. I am indeed glad you are well and hope to live to see you again. I wrote a letter under the instructions of Genl. J. C. Black to Hon. Eugene P. l^are I have found all the headquarters Comrads amongst them, Harriet Charup that worked for Mrs. Dodge at Trenton, Tennessee and at Corinth and found out ample evidence to get my claim through. In my letter to the Commissioner telling my services, I left a margin.If you find the statement true, will you kindly indorse it for me as it will have great weight for me. I would have been glad to see you and Genl. Williamson but perhaps Providence will permit me that favour at the Encampment this summer. I have been asked to give the highest regards Eaker, who used to be your Engine Inspector. Mr. Paker, I told him one day about you and the 16th Army Corps at the Battle of Atlanta he told me he worked for you on the Texas and Pacific: he told me that he would like to be kindly remembered to you and Mr. Granger. find the letter meets your views, you Wwili kindly indorse it, you will confer a lasting favor. on your old Orderly, John Dixon .275 May, 26, 1902 May 26, 1902 Mills Building, Ban Francisco, My dear Oeneral;- I received the speech you delivered before the Loyal Legion. It seemed to me to hit the nail squarely on the head. I read it with greatest satisfaction. I sent the copy to my friend, the Managing Editor of the Chronicle which paper like a lot of others- good Republican papers, too-- have either been coldly cynical or else have participated in the attacks on the Army in the Philippines. I called his attention tq the injustice of the attitude. I enclose an answer and also a copy of the editorial, which is at least a little better than nothing. This is positively the first article I have seen written here in their lines. I have thanked the editor in your name. Yoiirs sincerely, Alex G. Hawes 277 Maii 1902. Ne.\ York City, May 26, 1902, My dear Mrs. Grant: I received your letter while I was West, hence my delay in answering. You need have no fears in regard to Fred's .letter; be fore it is used I will have it submitted to the Secretary of "'ar, and make sure there are no objections to printing it. I read it to the State Encampment of the G.A.R. at Des Moines, where tiiere were at least 5,000 old veterans, and it was very cordially received, in fact- enthusiastically. I will enclose you papers containing ac counts of the meeting, but as I read the letter in a closed mieeting it was not published. I asked them not to use it, because i did not want to put anything forward until I know the 'Aar Department is satisfied, though it will in time get on their records. I also send you .papers containing accounts of the unveil ing of the Kinsman Monument. I am going to 'est Point on the evening of June 10th, and will stop with Colonel Mills. I would like to konw if you are going to be present there; it would be a great pleasure to me to have you there. I knew Mr. Palmer well, aiso Mrs. Palmer, and was surprised to learn of his sudden death. 7.'e in the West all knew what his work has been, and how niuch he has done to build up that country. I landed in Chicago in 1850, and became acv-juainted with Mr. Palmer a few years later. Please express to Mrs. Palmer my deep sympathy for not only her great loss, but the loss the country has sustained. The old Army of the Tennessee will never forget the reception Mr. and Mrs. Palrner gave to it in Chicago, andhow m.uch pleasure they gave the old veterans. I read Mr. Carpenter's address,with interest. There is no Jirouble with the people who go to the Philippines and see things,- the trouble comies from those who are determined to criticise every thing that is done. Very truly yours. G . M. Dodge Mrs. Ida P. Grant, ICQ Lake Ghore Drive, Chicago, 111. 279 May, 1902. New York City, May 27, 1902, My dear Mrs. Grant: On niy return from the West,, where I have been spending two or three weeks at my old home, -t find the book that you sent me giving the proceedings in Congress on the occasion of theacceptance of the statue oi General Grant, for which please accept my thanks. I shall value it very highly, and place it among my many other me mentoes of General Grant and yourself. I have sent you during the last day or so some papers con taining an account of ti.e unveiling off a monument to Colonel Kinsman at Council Bluffs, and my address on General Sherman at tiie G.A.R. encampment at -^es Moines. At the latter place f read a letter whichr I had received from General Fred from the Philippines, which was very interesting and brought hearty applause and gre..tings for him. I trust you are enjoying good health. I received a letter from Mrs. Fred Grant from Chicago while I was '^est. I was very sorry to learn of the death of Potter Palmer^ whom 1 have known for a great iiiany years . Truly and cordially. Grenville M. Oodge. Mrs. Julia D. Grant, 2111 Mass. Ave., Washington, D. C. 281 ^'.ay, 1902, New York City, May 2.7,1902, ^iy dear Henderson: I saw General Porter last evening, at the dinner given to him by the Republican Club, and he was enthusiastic over the dinner you gave him in .Washington, and very complimentary, and seemed to be greatly pleased that you would pay him so much attention. I returned Noonday from my trip to the West, where I spent about three weeks. -J- saw a great many people in Illinois, Iowa ad Nebraska, and kept my eyes and ears open to see if I a.'aid discover anything that would oe of interest. There is no anti-imperialism out there; the people of both parties are with the government and army, and if any Congressman should attempt to follow the example of the minortiy in the senate on the stump it would make a great many votes for the republicans. They take no stock in the charges which have been made, and I have no doubt, our party will profit from these matters in the elections, I found a universal desire out there on the part of all parties to do justice to Cuba. Isuptjoscd there was a division of sentiment in the West on this question, but if there is a person in travelling and talking cannot di.scover it; I inquired especially among the press as to that. H wever, what you may do now will have very little effect, except n.orally, with Cuba, The only natter I discovered that seemed to give the people any anxiety (especially re.ublicans) was the tariff question. There is an element there that seems to think Congress should do something with the tariff, but are opposed to opening the whole question. I talked with a good many of the prominent men, and at the Bluffs and Des Moines saw many ofti.e political leaders, and found they consider ed it a mistake to open the whole question,but not understanding matters they thought you might take up some parts of the tariff which everyone admits would stand a reduction or entirely wiping out, I understand your views in this uatter, andwhat you iiave been trying to do, also how impossible it is on account of politics to get the Senate to agree to anything, but have you taken up tlie questiai and consideredwhether or not the House can do something in this direction before adjourninent. It would iiake things in the elections very easy for you, and I hope you can see your way clear to doing something. Of course a general opening up of the tariff would stop all purchases everywhere and n.ake a halt in the prosperity of the country. 1 found the West even more propserous than the East. ''hen you get out among the farm>ers they do not take much stock in the Beef Trust question. High corn and high prices for cattle seem to satisfy them. As far as could see and learn there is no break or any body going away from the republican party, and unless you make some mistakes from now on 1 do not believe you will have much trouble 282 in electing a republican Congress, but as I said , the ti.ing that wj help you ttost is to do son;e thing for Cuba. The moral effect i^ill be of more benefit than the financial, also if the House can do sometiiing in the way of a tariff reduction on those articles which the country admits should have attention. Gumiiins at affect the to do some gra tif ie-d generally here in th to liave vi In Iowa th.ere was considerable talk about the speech df Iv inneapolis, but so far as I can see it did not seem to people much, for they all seemed to admit it was necessary thing, but the question was Iiow to do it. was greatly to see the contentment and satisfaction of the people on matters. The anti-inperialism that seemed to be extant e East, and the disposition to attack the a rmy etc. seems rtually kill ed itself by the viciousness of tlie attack. Very -truly yours, G . j/i. Dodge . Ron'. D. B. Henderson, '•"ashington, D. c. Before you use that letter of Fred Grant show it to Gee. of War and see if there is ahy objection toyour use of it. I dont want any use of anything he nay have written.by any possibility used against him.

Ha\e a copy of the Kjnsm.an book sent to each one on this list as well as to those on the list you have. Yqu should commun icate with Ninoman lost and s.e how niany members they have so you can send them enoughto sup ly all their members, and I will want at least fifty copies. You had better add them all up and see if five hundred copies will be enough, if not, have enough printed to cover the whole list and have sonie over, as I an. receiving calls for them all the tine. Of course you understand you want to send a copy to everyone who made a donation. There should klso be enough to go to Abe Lincoln Fost and the Union Veteran League, also the 23rd and 40th Iowa. ?

I kne ?; your grandfather. General Palmer, very intimately during the war. He ocmmanded a corps in the Atlanta campaign in the Army of t?e Cumberland, while I commanded one in the •^'■rmy of the Tennessee, and knew him also before the war. ^ have not seen his book, but will send for it, and know i shall read it with a great deal of pleasure. I would like to know where the book is published and by whom, so I can send for it. i presume it was published in Chicago or Springfield; they do not seem to have it here. I am glad to know you take an interest in matters relating to the war. It is a good thing for young people to study them end keep them in view. General Sherman said that the war advanced our country a century, which I have no doubt is a fact, as the exper ience of the soldiers in the war helped them in grasping and solv - ing any problems that were presented to them after they returned to civil life.

He certainly was not in the staff when Ransom died. I do not think that Ransom went to City Point. It seems to me that there was no reason for such a trip, as to this I shall ascer tain . Ransom was seriously wo\inded at Pleasant Hill,la.April 7, I8&4, and Cyrus E. Dickey, his Adjutant General, was killed by his side, later in the month he caine by boat to Cairo, and General Cl?ocker and myI was Crocker's Adjutant General--met him and saw that he was carried from the boat to the train, on his way home. Before he had recovered from this wound he reported to 4he-t3?!;»%H, Sherman, and was ordered to you and as signed by you to the command of the 4th Division, I6th Army Corps upon Augus-t 1st, and at Ransom's request, I--then Adjt.

V/hen you were wounded on August I9th Ransom took command of your Corx^s and after the Fall of Atlanta-- the I6th Corps being transferred--one division to the I8th and one to the I7th,--General Blair being absent. Ransom took command of the I7th Corps, and commanded it until two I days before his death, v/hich was on the E9th of October, in a house six miles from Rome.Ga., and he died intwo hours after we placed him in bed. He did nof'die in an ambulance", nor did he die"while attempting to rejoin Sherman's Army". For two days before he died we carried him on a litter. I am going to Shiloh today to be gone about two weeks. '*Vhile there I shall write a communication to the National Tribune, correct ing the m^statements. I shall send you the copy for inspection first.Can you give me the date of the paper from which you toot the clipping? lly address will be Pittsburg landing, Tenn. Yours sincerely Cornelius Cadle. When I am through with the clipping from the National Tribune, I will r eturn it. Guyon. June, 1902 My dear General Dodge;- 2S5 , West Point, June 4th, 1902 Professor Holden in Charge of the "library" here has letters of Generals Scott, Sherman and Sheridan placed on the walls of the library and he is most anxious to have a. letter of General Grant's to place with the others, just during the Centennial or Jubilee, while the visitors are here and he feels a great loss not to have one. I venture to write and ask you if you happen to h ave a letter of Genl. Grants, that you could loan to the Academy just for this time, one you think appropriate for a public place and if you would be willing to lend such a letter. I have told Prof. Holden I would ask you this as he seems so very anxious to obtain one. Un fortunately all of Fred's letters from his father are stored away in the Gafety Deposit Vaults in boxes impossible to get out just now and Mrs. Grants all are also absolutely inaccessible at this moment as she has closed her house and gone av/ay leaving all locked and no one who could go to her boxes. It has struck me that as you and Genl. Grant were such good friends you might have one of his letters,which ynu would be willing to loan, all or part of it, to the Academy for this occasion, and that you would consent to help out in''this matter? Hoping you will pardon my troubling you and that I may count upon your reply and with pleasantest anticipations of seeing you here believe me, dear General ' Sincerely yours, Ida H. Grant 299 June, 1902, New York City, June'4, 1902 Iv'Y deer Hendei-son: I received yours of t.'ay 28th. I understood when I was in Washington that it was the intention of the party to take up the tariff question on a few articles only, and reduce the tariff or take it off entirely. In other words, it was the intention of the party to take hold of the matter and make these changes, but they did not . think it could be done in the senate until next session,therefore, my suggestion that the house act was with the view that the senate would take it up at next session, and tia t for political reasons they would not take it up until then. However, I am not personally very anxious for the ciiange, though I know that is one of the matters you will have to meet. The other will be the Cuba question, which you will find •-ill give you trouble. It is astonishing to me that Congress looks at the matter one way while the people allover the' country look at it in another. I was over in Nebraska, and did not find a single person that was not in favor of helping Cuba, but Congress seems to t};ink the people are against it. If you do not help them it only brings them to us quicker, whici: is, perhaps, the best thing that can be done for them. Very truly yours, G . K . Dodge . Hon. D. Henderson, Washington, D. c. 301 June, 190^ WashinF.ton, D. C. , June 5th, 1902 My dear General Dodp:e;- Your very kind favor addressed to me as.Commissioner of Pensions came to hand and I assure you that I was deliprhted to hear from you. Just before I left Kansas I came across Captain Samuel Mackey who was on your staff at Leavenworth, Kansas, while I was. and he desired to be remembered to you if I saw you. Captain Mackev has become very well off and is taking life e&sily and is one of the finest looking men of his age I ever saw. He remembers you with great affection. Concerning Pension matters, to which you refer in your letter, I wish to say when anything comes from you it will receive prompt attention. It will be a pleasure for me to render you or ■'rour friends any service I can. Some of these days I will be in New York and I hope to see you if only for a brief time. Yours very truly. E. S. Ware SOS June, 1902 My dear General;- Manila, P.I. June 7th, 1902 I have just returned from Catbalogan, in the Island of Samar, where I was sent for trial for having caused some of those under my command to administer what is known out here as the "water cure". I have been tried and I have no doubt I was acquitted. I had not been in Manila but a few hours when my family showed me your letter to the "N.Y. Evening Post". I write this to thank you for that article. I have no doubt it did much toward making our people at home pause and think, you struck the situation exactly. The President of Igbaras was a "war traitor" a "spy" and a "guerrilla" of the worst class, he was tried and is now serving a ten year sentence. He should have been hung. He was ordered to guide my command. He set out by decieving me and I was legally authorized to hang him. I did not do so. I did make him guide my command by punishing him until and only until he did so. lie was punished in a most humane manner. I have tried it myself and I know. As soon as the punishment was over he mounted his horse and rode all day with the command. How often have we placed two men with bayonets behind our guides to whom an occasional prod is given with bayonet to insure faithfulness. A proceeding infinitely more humane and less painful is the "water cure" than this punishment. I do not Heed to explain all of this to you however as I know that you have waged war. I want you to know, however, that I did not torture this man but did make him do his duty and that in treating him as I did I protected him from his own people. The law on this subiect is too plain to require explanation. A celebrated writer recently said that if the members of Parlia ment would read a small pamphlet even on the laws and usages of war ""^®°essarily devoted to discussing things connected with the South African affairs could be profitably devoted to other subiects I fear this is too true in regard to our own public officials. Thev ' do not seem to have remembered any of the lessons of the Civil war and to know nothing of war practices in general. 1 o ^ ^ know that the Army out here appreciates your prompt and soldier ly defense of our Army located so far from home and I hope you will be!leva that I am especially thankful for your kindly words as to myself. Very sincerely. General Grenville M. Dodge, Edwin T. Glenn 305 June 13, .1902. New York City, June 13, 1902. Messi s. Runcie & Niandulay, Obispo 1, Havana, Cuba. Gentlemen: " I arn in receipt of yours of tay 29th. Referring to the purchase oflandof j-homas 11. havis we had already written Iv'r. John son in relation to this land, there having been some difficulty in one of the payirents made there we were not satisfied with matters as presented to us. We understood that land had been lost, but now it seemsthat it is safe and held under the option. The land we were to putchase was about three miles from Los Tunas, and if this is the land please look up the title thoroughly for us, and if tte titles are good and it is the land represented to us, upon receiving the information we will arrange for paying for it. in the meantime we WT.11 write ourselves to see if this is the land we understood wrs to be bought for us. • le gave instructions at Los Tunas in re lation to the purchase of this land, and our iVr. Pusey has been in comimuni cation with Lr. Johnson in relation to the matter, and Lr. Johnson w.-s going there hin.self to investigate it. Sine then Mr. Jones has written Mr. Johnson we were going to drop it, having had so much difficulty, and having lost confidence in Davis. Now if the papers come to you all right, the ^1,000 having been apid, and the title is good and safe, we are willing to go on and con.plc te the purchase. The land was to come to us without expense except the .j.60. per caballarias and survey, and free and clear of ; 11 taxes. Mr. Jones has written about the farm. Since vvriting this letter Mr. Runcie has been in and ex plained this fiuestion thoroughly, and is going to examine the pro perty independently. Very frulyyours, G . M . D(%e . .a. ■ V...S , 4 •f., 307 June, 1902. New York City, June 13, 1902, ^-y dear Colonel: After my return home, and a good night's rest, I want to write and tell you how pleased I was with my visit at West i'oint, and how satisfactory and beneficial it was to me. I would not have ndssed it under anycircumstances. I want you to know that i appre ciate fully the courtesies I received from yourself, Iv>s. ^'ills, the young lady and the young master, because my stay could not have been anything like as pleasant as it was except for that. 1 also want to congratulate you upon the manner in which everything was conducted. We, of course, ex. ect good n.anagen.ent where the regular army has charge, and we always get it, but 1 do not thing anyone expected a management that went into everything so thoroughly, and this is not my opinion only but tne o^dnion of all the old veterans I saw there, and the old regular arniy officers who spoke to m»e about it. They were greatly pleased, and you and your officers cantake to yourselves great credit for it. I do not know that I wa s ever rt any gathering of the kind in this country or abroad that was so well m.anaged. kdlls. I enclose the photograph wiiich I promiised to send to Iv.rs Extending to yourself, krs. Kills and the family my best wishes and,heartfelt thanks, 1 am, Truly and cordially. Grenville M. Dodge. Col. A. L. Mills, 'Vest Point, N. Y. 309 June, 1902 Manilla, Philippines Islands, June 13, 1902 My dear General I was pleased to receive yours of May 9th with its enclosure givinp; your speech before the "Loyal Legion", and appreciate the letter as well as the address. General Weston also sent me a copy which I gave to General Smith. I send you by this mail a copy of one of our local papers containing your article which they were very glad indded to reprint. I would also state that your letter to the Editor of the New York "Evening Post" was reprinted here and read with a great deal of pleasure. One trouble is, General, that it is so long since we have had war in the United States that those under fifty have no idea of what war means, and, after having read some of the articles in the Newspapers and some of the addresses attacking nearly everything that was done or attempted by the troops here, it did seem as though that old stanza; "Cast out by the land that bore us, Betrayed by the one we find", was applicable to our case. I would say that from the best information obtainable that none of Major Gardiner's charges that amounted to anything were sustained, and in relation to the one stating that several women have been ravished by the soldiers, I am reliably informed that there has not been one word of evidence introduced in support of it. I want to thank you personally, and I but voice the sentiments of every man or fsiiiah that I heard speak of the subject, for your manly and intelligent words in support of the United States Army and of your confidence in the propriety of the conduct of the American Soldier in the Philippines. God bless you. General, General G. M. Dodge, No.l Broadway, New York City Very sincerely, A. H. Woodruff I A . 311 June, 1902.

Of course nothing would give me more pleasure than to have you come and see m.e when you comie to New York, and when I go to ^f'ashington it will be not only a duty, but a pleasure to call upon you. In your letter you mention Captain iviackey. I try to keep track of all tiie officers that were with me, especially my staff of ficers, but I have not Iv-ackey's address. I sometimes send them things I know ;ill interest them. 'Viii_you kindly send mie his address. I have just spent three very pleasant and profitable days at ''est koint. I was with the ^resident, : nd pretty nearly the first question he asked nie was ii I knew you, and when I told him you had served on my staff he was greatly pleased to know it, and I think more pleased when I told him he had made no mistake in his appointm.entl I remien.ber you so well and know you arr so well qualified to get along with peoi)le thi t you will be able to smooth n.any of the rough ways that always come to such positions as yours.

The Cuba question is troubling; them, and it w s discussed ijretty thoroughly with me, and i told them that dring my trip "est P had seen no person, repub lican or democrat, but who considered it was the duty of our Governm.ent to aio Cuba under its promise. It apjjears that Gov. Odell and some parties who have been "''est are very nu'ch opposed to the Presi dent's doing anything, saying it will lose us members on the Pacific Coast, Nebraska, etc. bhen at the Bluffs I saw nany peop^le from Nebraska, and everyone of theiri told me it was our duty to pass this Cuba bill. What I writeyou for is to ascertain fromi you what you think the conditions are in Nebraska. No you thinly the passage of this bill giving dO/j reduction in the sugar tariff will endanger any thing there? My idea was if we did not do somdthing for Cuba it would be aterrible club against us in the hands of the cemiocrats on the stunip. I can understand very well the danger that conies from interference ^ ith the tariff, but havenot been able to see that there is any danger in carrying out our agreem.ents with Cuba, I do not believe it will ever lower the price of beet sugar one mill, and I do not believe many of the beet sugar people think S), but there is a great hub-hub over it. You ,;oep track of the Nebraska papers and the feeling tliere, and I wish youwould write m.e a)nf identially what your views on the matter are. '*hen I get your reply I will pro bably send it to the President, but wliatever you write will be treat ed confidentially. I know the President's cabinet is in favor of doing som.ething, except Payne, w: o is very ner-vous over the matter, and thinks we ore in great danger. Spooner thinks otherwise. I want to say my visit to West Point was very interesting, and my three days there were very beneficial and gratifying to me, and I receivedvery distinguished attentions oil around. Very truly yours, G. W. Dodge. Mr. Tilton, c/o Nonpariel, Council Bluffs, Iowa. You better take strong ground in Noni^areil on Duty of Party to carry out our itltdges to Cuba.

It was of their own motion to begin with, and I have no doubt it will continue as long as he lives, which God knows I hope will be many, many years. I am very sorry I could not see n.ore of you and the General when I was there. 'fe did not have a chance to have one of those conversations tl;at you talk so much about. Please remember me kindly to the General, and believe ir.e. Truly and cordially yours. Gronville k. Dod'e . rs . Gen!l. J. K. . Schofield, Bar Harbor, Waine. 317 June, 1902, New York City,. June 13, 1902. Vy dear Sir Williair.: I have been three days at Vest Point, where I saw V.r. Buncie, andhe has also been in my office this morning. i have no doubt he has communicated with you on the intention of the united roads to obtain a repeal of the railroad law in Cuba. At West Point I w;;S with the President and his cabinet,- that is stopped at the same house. Secretary Boot was tiiere, also General Wood. i had a good opportunity to discuss Cuba matters with them pretty thoroughly. are repealing several of A'eod's orders and no doubt will a good many more. Vliat I desired to ascer-• tain from our Government was what action, if any, they would take on the repeal of any of these orders, and they said they were help less in the matter, and that no doubt a great deal would beundone that had been done. Wood thought perhaps it could be stopped by an appeal to the Government, but I ascertained that would not be possible. Runcie's idea was that you should organize there for our protection in the Congress, getting from each of the provinces one or two of the mien who control th.e delegation from their provinces. I take it they will be able (he believes) to repeal it because he thinks they are taking the necessary neans to do it, whereas he thinks with our great interest there if wesend up or have th.ere one or t.'o representative men fromi each province that will see the necessity for the retention of the law for the benefit of the is^ land, we will be able to defeat it. You are probably in touch with this mjatter, and know more about it than I do. ^iandulay probably has written to you, but, as you see, my effort was to see exactly what could be done if necessary with the Government. I saw Sn.ith here, and he says we are not having any rains down there, and it looks as though we might get our tracks together this month if it keeps good weather, as we aru nearly ten n.iles east of Porto Principe, and some considerable distance west of Los Tunas, as 1 understand it. Trusting you are well, and taking aneeded rest, I am. Very truly yours. G . M . Do dge . Sir ^'illiam C. Van Home, Montreal, Canada.

In regard to the article in the National Tribune with reference to Ransom, Just before I went to Shiloh on the 2d inst I wrote Major D.Tredway, St. Louis, who was on Ransom's staff, as to whether Ran som v/ent to City Point. Tredv/ay writes in effect, that he went to New Ybrk with Ransom before he recovered from his v/oands and left him there— he Tredy/ay, returning v/est and joining him in Chicago and came to us at Atlan ta. Trelway says he is not certain whether Ransom went to City Point af ter he left him in New York, but he is under the impression that he didi go there to see General Grant. So probably that part of the article is correct. will in a few days I have not yet prepared my article for the Tribune but I have just returned from Shiloh v/here I made a shott address in receiving from the State of Ohio their thirty-four monuments erected upon hhe Fiftld. The Associated Press despatches stated that Col. Josiah Patterson received them on behalf of the United States. He did notI did it under instructions from tiie 3eci'et-ry of War. I will send you a copy of the Memphis paper containing my remarks upon the occasion of the dedication. Yours very truly. Cornelius Sadie. 321 June, 1902 Wichita Falls, Texas. June 20th, 1902 General G, Dodge, New York City ' Dear General Wichita Falls having entirely failed to come up to its agree ment, I think it best to postpone our entension for the present; in the first place, I am not entirely satisfied with the subsidies of Stamford and Haskell, as they will be difficult to collect, the way they are got up. Congress has defeated the Opening of the 480,000 acre Indian Reservation, from which we expected a large business. The country here does not look as inviting as a month ago; there will be but little corn raised, as we have had some severe hot winds since I was here before. The only crop that has any promise now is cotton and it is too early yet to say how much of a cotton crop there will be made. This being the case, I think it will prevent all other extensions into this territory for the present. When we do extend, ft should be North first, as there will be but little doubt we will get considerable business by going North, but by building '^■outh, it will depend almost entirely on the seasons, so I hope this postponement will meet with your approval. I shall go from here to Colorado and will be back in Chicago early next month. Yours very truly. Morgan Jones. vf-'' ■ ■ ooo o West Point, N.Y. June 22, 1902, Gen. Dodge, Dear Sir: I suppose that you remember that a year ago this month, you interceded in behalf of a cousin, more or less distant, the grandson of Joseph Allen Dodge, with the officials, for an appointment to 'Vest Point, I received the appointment and passed the examirt'tions but did not thank you for your kindness in aiding me. This I wish to do now, at the end of my first year. I have not made much of a success of it being near the foot of my class, but I am still with the class of *04 and hope to graduate with it into the ranks of officers of the United States Army where I expect to do my life's work. I thank you again for your kindness in starting me on this line of work. Sincerely yours. Joseph Dodge Park, of New Hampshire, (j ij June, 1902. New York City, June 23, 1902, Sir William Van Korne, r.'ontreal, Canada. Ky dear Sir William: I received yours of June 17th and 2l3t on my return here today. You untderstand I simply sent you the information without giving any opinion in the matter. I did not understand Runcie to mean to go to the election of Congressmen; his idea was to influ ence those already elected by having a man or two of influence in their provinces look after them, which he thought would not cost anything. I am as much op,osed as you arc to entering into any obligation there which will be continuous upon us. I think your policy up to this time on this question is right. Runcie thought we had influence with men along our line and other lines connected with our business who would go to Havana and see the representatives and influence them against taking any action, but my belief is that the Government itself would protect us. They don't want to do anything to prohibit the building of railroads. I do not know what effect on the Cuba question the action of Congress will have. I received a confidential letLer today from a Senator who is posted, in which he says the President will imiTiediately make a treaty with Cuba. i do not understand the action of these Senators, because I know that every state they re present is in favor of sustaining the President's policy, but it seems to n/e it is too late to help Cuba much, and this action may bring matters to a crisis there, though i notice t-andulay seems to think they are getting along pretty well. I return the letters. If you have anything special let me hear fromi you. I enclose you a letter from A. Brownell, whom I think you met in Havana. If you desire to let any of your buildings you can not do it to a better man. He built many buildings for me in the South, and did a large amount of work for the Government in Key ^est and in Havana i,nd Cuba, and is reliable in every way. He is a modest man but does what he agrees to, and does it well. Will you kindly communic ate with him, if you propose to do any building or at any rate cormi.unicate with him and let him know your decision, so he may know I have taken pains to refer his letter to you. Having been a contractor under me so long i want to let him know I have given attention to the matter. Veiy truly yours, G . W. Dodge. 327 June 24, 1902. New York City, June 24, 1902 R. H.

My dear Dick: I notice in the Register that it has been sold to Mr. Roberts, and it is with great regret that I see it go out of your hands, though I appreciate very fully that you would not part with it if it were not nn account of your health, and on that consideration I think it was a wise thing to do, especially as it goes into such able hands, and one who is so fully indentifled with the State cf Iowa. I have been a constant reader of the Register since the early fifties, and niade the acquaintance of Rhet and yourself when you first went to the paper, and no journal has done so much as it has to build up the State of lowa. Thile it has been a republican paper, c till every citizen ani interest in Iowa is greatly indebted to it for the strong fight it has made ior the material interest of that State. It ht.s been a square, honest, clean paper thatanyone could take great pleasure in reading. My close friendship with all of you for so many years makes me regret perhaps more than any one else the severance of your connection with the paper. However, I hope you will take a good rest, recover your good health, and en joy the rest of your life, as you certainly are entitled todo. iruly and cordially yours. Grenville M. Dodge. I .

My dear General and Old Commander:- I am just in receipt of a letter from Senator Allison, stating that the special pension of ^69 per month for ra y relief has already passed the Senate and only awaits the signature of the President. Hence, it will be unnecessary for you to do anything more about it. With many thanks to you for what you have already done for me, and kindest regards for your welfare in every respect I beg to remain your old follower and comrade in arms. I sometimes wonder if there is anyone, left in the old 16th, Corps that served any longer and nearer to you than myself, having served under you continuously on the fighting line from the time you took command of us at Corinth, until you fell across my feet in the rifle pits in front of Atlanta. I shall always feel proud to be able to say, that I served so long with General Dodge in the 16th Corps, that never was defeated, while Tinder your command. God bless my old commander is the prayer of your old subordinate.

My dear General Dodge;- You were very kind to send me your address to the Loyal Legion. I have been reading it with a great deal of interest, as you may suppose. We all think we know what General Sherman was, but when we look into his life we find we under-rated him. I have never been sure whether he or Gendral Grant was the greater man of the two, but I do feel sure that whichever is first, the other was certainly second in our army. There were very many notable and able officers in our army dur ing the Civil War, and when we consider the officers and men of the Southern army; that they were fighting in their own country with every man, woTnan and child to help them; it is wonderful that we got alopg as well as we did. I was also pleased to hear what General Grant had to say about mis-calling the men who fought on the other side. Our friend Charles Adams, has been talking a great deal on this subject lately, and I think him quite wrong, but I do not like to say so aloud becaiise I am so fond of him. If the men on the other side conducted themselves as well as we did, then we made a mistake in putting up any fight at all. Either they were right or we were right. V . interesting thing to me to gather a little information about yourself. I have known very well of your great service, but it is alwap pleasant to see such things recalled, as is inevitable with your intercourse with General Sherman. I shall never forget the greeting the soldiers gave General l^herman, when the Grand Army was here and marching through the citv I stood and watched him greet regiment after regiment of the veterans. You were very kind to send me your oamphlet. I am, with great respect. Yours truly, Henry L. Higginson, Per A.I.G. 339 July, 1902 New York City, July 82,_ 1902 Gen. Horace Porter, N. Y. City. . ' My dear General: I was anxious to see you before you left and say gbod-by to you and I wanted to talk to you about the action of the President and Root on the court martials in the Philippines, but I received a letter from Root this morning that don't make it necessary for me to say much. '"hat I wanted you to do wcs to talk with Root about this court martialing men for acts in the Philippines seven thous and miles away. They make a great fuss over tlie Waller and Smith cases but they don't amount to anything compared with the cases we had in the civil war. They punished Smith for "shooting off his mouth." Sui)posing you had punished Sherman for doing that? The '''alier case, perhaps, is more seriouai; However, I have been told by the Lieutenant who was in charge . (7/illiams) in that case • that those carriers niade a conspiracy to kill the whole crowd but failed. The President and Root have done so very n.uch for the army since they went into office and I have such a great love and personal regard for Root, that I do not want them, to set any pre cedents that will trouble us hereafter. For instance, the Glenn case. I received a letter .froiii Glenn which shows he was absolute ly justified in what he did and I have no doubt tP.e Courts acquit ted him. The "water cure" don't amiopnt to anything. '^^hen we used to take prisoners and put themat the head of our colunin to lead us, and put behind-them four or I'ive beyonets and kept-, jabbing them it was far greater punishment, than the "water cure.";' You know. Grant was very determined about these matters. I have no doubt you know many cases but I can cite one that I know of personally which covers all these things. You know when Grant sent m.e to build the road from Nashville to Lecatur, which he was very much in need of in or der to get i'pod for. his army, and I had to live entirely off of the country, we had brought nothing with us from the '^-■'•s issippi River, and'niy troops made a great many depredations, I had a commiand in the Department of the Cumberland (General Thom.as's Department), and, of course, numerous coiiiplaints went up against my troops from citizens and from the officers of that Department. Put the complaints to gether that have been made in the Philippines against every officer and soldier there and they '..ould not amount to so riiuch as were piled up against niy corps. ' They went on to Thomas. Pie, instead of making any comi.ent on them or any censure, simply forwarded them to Grant and put on endorsenient on them that "probably I was not aware ol waht was going on being busy building the road." They reached Grant and Grant's endorsement was the strongest I think I ever saw. It was in his own language and he jumped on those officer and everybody else with both feet. He did not care v/hat had been done so long as 1 accomplished the work I was at, and he sent that document back so that every officer could see it. I remember one of the very strongest and luost vicious attacks upon me was nade b; Col. fv'.eisner, of the Infantry, who had a comii.and at Columbus. . ' . . That is the position I think we sho .Id take in these natters i^'e are so far away that we know nothing about them. However, I hope you will talk to hoot about it because they may think that they are I'ol.i.owing the drift of the sentiment of tne country, but they are not, and the sentiment of the old and new army is all one way in this miatter. I have had a great many letters from the HhilipMines and what I wanted to see you for w.-s to show you some of them. 'I'hey are personal, of course, and are very strong on this subject. They are the outcome of a letter I wrote and the address I made before the Loyal Legion, but the point I want to make is that it is time to strap now; they have gone far enough, andsliould not tryany more people for wh.at occurred in the Philipi.ines in the way of cruelty.

It is mostly romance. If there was any fault in the location oi the Union Pacific Railway, I am responsible for it, for 1 had carte blanche, and I never was in terfered with except once; then, when in Salt Lake, tee line was changed across the Laramie Plains, not to create distance"but to avoid heavy work, they claiming tha-t the track wou..d overtake theih if they had to build on the lire I had adopted, and the Company cllowed the change in my absence; it is -the only piece of poor location on the li "e of road. It is one of the changes that the Company has made -since the reorgainzation, they bui..t the line pretty nearly on my original line taking heavier work and .putting in a lower grade. There was one other question raised in relation to the line-; which I was sustained. 1 enclose you a pamphlet which gives you the facts in relation to that. In answer to all these statements, rs to building a road f-or distance, in the first place, the Government had its very ablest engineers examine the line before it was accepted, in twenty mile secti(ms. Then it had in its Government Directors one or two very able engineers, who also examined the line, end all questions were taken up fully by them. Then theGovernment afterward, before the final acceptance of the road, put upon it two commissions, upon one of which were very able engineers--the ablest, probably, in the country--and their reports are a matter of record. Since that time eveyy engineer on the Union Pacific has endeavored to change the line and shor-ten it and lower the grades, but up to the time of the reorgainzation they never changed the line a mile, and did not lower the grades, Uiey all reporting that the cost was so large that the Company did not see its way clear to make the changes. Since the reorgainzation tlie Company h; s spent a good rr.any miilllons of dollars in moving the grade down to 43 feet, and I think Nr. Harr'iamn, in his speech at Denver, settled for all tine the question of why changes were made, and also the fact that the line was honest ly built. The facts are that the Company's instructions to me were to obtain the best line crossing tie continent, and, Lr. Dye and myself gave a great m,anyyears' attention to it. There never has been and never will be any line built across the continent that will touch it; we had the choice and took it. Before I returned in 1866, after the war, Rr. Dye and ^'r. Durant had a serious difference in relation to the line out of Omaha which you know al.. about, and know the results of it. ^:r. Seyn.our never had anything to do with the location of th.eroad. '•'hilst he was consulting engineer his duties were in .11 the Naw York office, and generally upon natters for the contr:ctors. It is notnecessary to refer to the statement of Nye about t>ie bonds; that has been thrashed thoroughly by tb.e Anderson Committee. As you know, there., is no foundation for the statement. I never heard of the „^50,000 case; do not think there ever was such a case. 1 am satisfied he has Reference to tl:e Fisk deal, in which they denanded of the Conpany vl00,000, and which Vr. Tilden advised them to pay, but which the Company refused to pay, and never did, and which brought about .as you know, the litigation in New York, driving jsfrom Ne»- York to Boston with our office. As the Union Pacific has paid th.e United States Uovernment every dollar it owed ii, principal and interest--soniething unheard of in this or any other country before--and as no harm has ever come to any person in the building of the Union Pacific, I think it is about thime these roniances were stopped. If there are any people entitled to credit in building the Union Pacific, instead of cen sure, those people were the An.es, and the Union Pacific never ought to stop until they wipe out of the Congressional records the unjust and uncalled for resolution there against Cakes An.es. I am. Yours truly, G . N'i. Dodge . •» . jr- /V • * t 243 July, 1902 New York City, July 22, 1902 Col. Theodore A. Ringham, War Depp riment, Washington, 0. G.

Secretary, Society Army of the Philippines, Council Bluffs, Iowa. My dear Comrade; I am in i eceipt of th.e invitat . on to attend the third annual reunion of ti;e ^^ational Society of the Army of the Fhilip,;.ines, which is to be held in my own hine, and I greatly regret that my engagements are such that it will be impossible for me to attend. I have a great desire to be present, not only to greet this army, but as an old soldier to assure it, and I know I voice the opinion of allold soldiers of the Civil Ay-r, that we honor if and have onl praise forthe nianner in which it h as performed its duty in the Philippines, and we do not for one moment believe that it has be.n guilty of either torture or cruelty water cure is a riiild punishment. It is ; ossible that in a savage country some technical point or provision of the laws and regulations of war have been violated, but, in miy opinion, not to the detriment of anyone, and in the Civil War such technical violations would never have been worthy of consideration. The fact is that in the Civil War and Philippine War no officer who accoii.plished anything succeeded without of necessity stepping a little over the niark, and what has occurred in the Philip.dnes does not in any way compare with what occurred Civil War, and'it is a great satisfaction to iiie to know that the country has at last con.e to understand this and uphold the army, which has brought to our country great credit and honor. It is an easy thing to criticise an officer when he is seven thousand niiles away from you, andyou are without knowledge of the conditions and circumstances under which he is acting. Perhaps the action he takes is for the preservation of his command or himself. There are things that never can be explained satisfactorily a year or two after the occurrence, and in the Civil ^ar for such acts officers were sustained by Generals Grant, Sherman and others. Of such cases I have personal knowledge. In one case in particular my corps and myself had mor'e ci.arg. s against us than all tiie charges combined that havebeen made against officers in the Philippines. General Grant endorsed upon these complaints and charges that I had been sent to accomiplish a certain object, and that no person could judge of the necessities of the case except n^yself, that he knew me andknew my command, and that he knew we were not intentionally guilty of the acts charged, and could not be brought to accoutn for such acts in carrying out orders. It is possible that more is expected of a soldier at this time than during the Civil War, and perhaps people are more critical of the acts of their armies, and do not take into account the fact that in the Civil 'W>r we were fighting our own people, while in the Philippine V-'ar we were fighting people of all descriptions from civilized to savage. There is no one who was more opposed to war than myself, and no one more pleased that it is happily ended, and in a year manythings which have been uppermost in 852 the minds of our people v:ill be forgotten and never alluded to again, and as time goes by even those who "have been accused will receive the reward which in my opinion, they are jastly entitled to. Extending my heart-felt welcome and congratulations to the Army of the Philippines assenibled in Council Pluffs, I am, Truly and cordially, ' Grenville . Dodge.

Wy dear Oir* On ro y return to the city I saw the accounts of the death cf your father, and extend my deepest sympathy to you and the entire family in your great loss. He is not only a loss to tiiefamily but to the country, for since he has been in civil life his services have been of unaccountabe1 value to the country, especially in the line of business he has followed of late years. .His great experience mad e him very valuabelto all who have drafted tariff bills, and I have heard them all say that his great knowledge wa"5: of incalculable benefit. But 1 desire to write more fully of his personal services with me during the wdr. lor over three years he was upon my staff, and was m.y confidential aide. Mo one ever served riior-e faithfully than your father did me. It is impos... i.ble to speak of such services fully or in detail. It requires one who has received such services to fully appreciate then., and I want to assure you, and I think your father knew, th t I appreciated most .fully his faithful and valuable service to me. He has been a great sufferer, and l-as had the ayiiiopthy of everyone who knew him personally. It has always been a great regret to mc that -i- could not sec more ofhim in civil life, as my connection with himi in the war had made me very fond of him. Please extend to the family iriy heart-felt symipathy, and say to them that nobody except members of the family regrets his loss more fully than myself. I am sorry I was not here at the time so I could attend his funeral. Truly and cordially. Grenville . Bodge. 355 August, 1902. New, York City, August 7, 1902 Emtiiett Tlnley, Esq., Council Bluffs, Iowa. Iv.y d ear Sir: am in receipt of yours of August 5th enclosing plan for the armory for the Bodge Eight Guard. . I think the selection if a good one--prohably better than the one opposite the court house, and I would secure .it. Ey idea of using the money was that you could use the .ij^bjOOO I would send you in paying for the property and then raise money on that and the building by mortgage to pay for the building. Adu what the companyraises and what they get out side in shape of donations, which should be considerab •. e, end they should have enough to build it and not have a very heavy mortgage. If you cannot raise th.e n.oney there on the mortgage probably I could here. That is a matter concerning which you had better consult my brother. I can sens a check to my brother at any tine you wish it. It is better not to have it known th t I am putting money into it. Let it be understood that the company is raising or borrowing all the money, and this will probably induce others to do more than they would if they anew I was helping. However I will agree to any method of advancing tJie money that you and my brother agree upon. You can probobly tell better how to finance it after you get an estimate of what it will cost to finish the building. Very truly yours, C . M . Dodge . i' -.'a • • " l:; 359 Wancy, Ky, Aug. 11, 1902, G. M. JJodge, New York My dear Sir: lours in which you tell of your interview with Col. Patton was received in due time and I most sincerely thank you for your efforts in my behalf. 1 am more than ever of the belief, that the changes are entirely in the hands of the Q.M. Gen. or whoever has charge of that department, in looking over the records, 1 find that some superintendents have been taken from, their 6 months probation and given first class cemeteries at once, while others have to put in from 12 to 15 years for the came. I am loc ted at a ord class at Nancy, Ky. this Cemetery is 8 miles from the R R. town (of Somerset; in the mountain region of Ky. The foundation for this cemetery was laid by the battle of Logans Cross roads" between Gen'l. Thomas and Zollicoffer on Jany 19th, 1862 in which Gen. Zolicoffer was killed, and his troops suffered a heavy defeat. He was laying at Millsprings about 12 miles from here, was informed by a woman^'that there were threeregiments moved down from Somerset and were laying near Logan's Cross roads (about mile from here) entirely unprotected, so became up to take them in. In the meantime. Gen. Thomas came up from the west, tinknown to Gen. iiblicoffer, which result v/as very disasterous to the rebels. The Cemetery is quite pleasant when you once reach but you h ve to go over a timber road to get to it. It was with much pleasure and satisfaction that I read your reminiscances of Gen. Sherman, I think it was almost universally read , for have a copy of it in three different papers. The C. Nonpariel, St. -Couis a,obe Democrat, and tne National Tribune, Pleased also to see that you were unanimously elected as delegate to represent the department of Iowa at the coming national encampment at Washington. 1 Had this very matter in my mind when I suggested your name as Commander of the Post, knowing that according to the laws of the G. A. R you would have to take that step, before the departments of the state and nation could have the pleasure and the benefit of your long and successful years experience in their council chamoer and from the manner in which you were received, and appreciatc;d, in the state department, at Des Moines. It bespeaks a grand reception, and one worthy of you, at Washington. I am more than compensated for the work I done, but there is just one more thing I want and that is to see you at the head of the Grand Army of the Republic, then and not till then will I be satisfied, it belongs to you and you belong ot us. It would not take long to put you there if tlie boys only understood it. But i am sorry to say t-iat I will not be able to be at Washington this fall. If you should see Col, Patton please mention me to him, to let him know th t I am not fbrgotten. Hoping that this will find you in good health and that it will remain so for many years to come, I am as ever your devoted friend : nd admirer, E. R. Fonda, Nancy, Ky. 361 August 1902, My dear Mr. Hawley, New York August 12, 1902. Referring to the extension of the uolorado & Southern, as L wouldue quite difficult to mark it out on any general map, I will give you the controlling points in the line so you can lay it down your self in the maps of large scale of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and British Columbia. Commencing at the northerly terminus of the Colorado & Southern Orrin Junction, the line would follow up the North Platte River to the mouth of Sage Creek, up Sage Creek to its head, and down Salt Creek to Powder River. For the development of the Big Horn and wind River basinand to reach the oil fields wesit of the Big Horn mountains, a branch would start in somwhere on Salt Creek and turn south end of Big Horn mosintains. Crossing the Powder River with the main lint; at or near the mouth of Salt Creek you would strike Crazy Woman's Fork of Powder River, and follow down one branch of that and up another to near old Port McKinney (now abandoned) or the town of Buffalo, and thence to Port Phil Kearney, striking the head of the Prairie Dog Fork of Tong,uo River, follow down to opposite the head of Custer Creek; cross to Custer Creek and follow it down to the Ei Horn and follow the Big Horn to its miouth, crossing the Yellowstone at or near the mouth of the Big Horn and strike directly north to the Mussel Shell River, and follow that to the Missouri, In the vicinity of the Mussel Shell are the lignite coal fields. Cross the Missouri and follow it to near old Fort Hawley and then cross almost due north to Milk River and follow up one of the branches that come in from th north, joining the Canadaian Pacific almsot due north and near the junction of the Edmonton Branch._ I am not very familiar with the line north of Milk River but it is an open countj?y and only requires examination to get the choice of ground, and there may be a controlling interest where we would loin the Canadian.^ Of course off this main line are many points that would be taken in v/ith short branches, but it is not necessary to take that question up. j i-ncti, this data you can at your leisure, or have someone, mark on the maps I have nam.ed the line so it would be understood by anyone. Probably SMr. Trumbull to make can more give definite you considerable inquiries in information regard to in the the matter. mattex. , T follow down Salt Creek to the Powder River -lou run thrnur' which we get consideral le information in the matter. ^ As you follow down Salt Creek to the Powder River you run thrcugix the oil fields that are i,ow being worked by the Pittsubrg company, from which we get considerable oil. There is no doubt as to the value of these wells for lubricating oil. it is the finest we can get, but they have tu haul it forty miles by wagon to reach the railroad. This railroad would run right through this field. Very truly yours, G. M. Dodge, Aup:ust, 1902 Gen. G. M. Dodp:e, 363 New York, N. Y., Auf!;ust 20, 1902 1 Broadway, City. My dear General I learn you are to be in the Gity tomorrow. I presume you know the effort that is being made to appoint Harry Tichenor either Assistant Secretary of the Treasury or to his father's place,on the General Board of Appraisers. It is just in that shape where an active powerful influence shch as yours would in my judgment, help to decide it in his favor. He is, beyond question, a man that the government service new needs, as the Treasury Department is deficient in men trained in the intricacies of the tariff and the administrative customs. Harry knows this, learning it from his father, as no one else knows it. He has also had the experience of a business man and broker. He also has the insight. If President Roosevelt and Secretary Shaw knew his ability and fidelity as you and I do, I am sure he would be appointed. Can you not help him? Harry is worthy, beyond any doubt, and his father is not here now to do for him what you arid I can do. Yours sincerely, James S. Clarkson, BG5 August, 1902. New York City, August 20, 1902. Wy dear Rhet: I read with a great deal of interest your tribute to Colonel Tichenor in the Rggister-Leader, and was glad to see triere was somebody who had the knowledge and ability to do justice to Tichenor. I was absent at the time he died, and only learned of his death a few days ago nn my return to the city. Probably there is no one who appreciated iichenoi' better than I did, or one to whom •he was more loyal and friendly. I think that is the case up to the time of hisdeath. His three years service with me made me appreciate him, and I was sorry that after the war our duties called us in different direct! ns, for I would '.aveliked to keep him with me. There are one or two points in your letter that vhile cred itable to Tichenor are not exactly as I understand the matter. The first one is his reasons for supi.orting Anison for oenator instead of '.Vright. I do not think many are as well posted on that .question as lam, for you know 1 made the first fight almost alone and carried up almost the entire delegation frorii my district, although my part ners Judle and John N. Baldwin were both against me. When I took up the fight for Allison I wrote all my friends in the district, but Tichenor being a resident of bes Noines with "'right, knew the po sition he was in, and being postmaster tl:ere I realized if he turn ed to Allison it would be said he did-so on accoutn of his appoint ment. Howevei', -l- wrote to him in relation to the matter, and have his answer somewhere among my papers. It was a very Dianly letter, the substance of it being thatwhile locally" his allegiance might be due to "'right, his friendship for me was such that if 1 was going to make the fight for Anieon I would find him working just as hard as ^ did in the matter. I don't think the tariff views of Apiison or Aright had anything to do in the mat er. I think it was his old friendship for me that n.ade him stand by in that i ight. In the second fight you were with us, and understand it thoroughly, but at the end of the first fight, when we were beaten, 1 notified all the boys there who were with me in thai fight that I would be on hand next time, and they all promised me theywould be there too, and they were. In the second fight I believe my district came up solidly. Of course this is a tiiatter of no imiportance except to you, but I wrote it on account of Tichenor*s loyalty to me. There is another point in your letter which I think you are mistaken about, and that is Dolliver's obtaining the apoointnient for I'red Grant. I hrve no doubt he helped, but guess if it were possible to ask t. cKinley you wo Id find the appointment was made upon my request,-anyhow the President wrote ii,e to that effect. The second ^Pi'Ointment was also made u^'on .".y ptrsonal request, but in that I think I^cnderson h;.id as n.uch to do as niyself, although President iicKinley gave me the credit fcr it. For the second appointment I based my request upon yis record, and got it on that. I wrote this, not totake any credit from boliiver, who 1 know was friendly in the 266 matter and did vhat he could, but facts about such things sometimes are •valuable . Son^etime when I meet you I can tell you the whole story; it is a very interesting one. Ido not see how you remen.- ber everything so clearly as you do. There were a great many things in your i^aper on Tlchenor that brought others to my mind which I hao forgotten all about. If I.cKinley had lived young iiclienor would^'have taken his father's palce. l called upon President i-cKinley two or three tines in relation to the natter, and his answer was that he would not-spare Tichenor as long as he lived, and that Henry wcs too young, but he intimated that when Tichenor died the son wo Id take the place; there is no one so cen.petent to fill it as Henry. I just returnea to the- city today andtrust you are well. I send you today under separate cover my address and dhermian at Des ^^oines, also the Kinsman Monument papers. Very truly yours, ^ .

The Pines, Jamestown, Rhode Island, My dear General: Yesterday my father gave me your address, and asked me to write to you of his illness which has now protracted from the time of his return from the long Western trip on June I3th, on until now when he seems to "be "but little, if any "better of the disease which the Doctors have named cirrhosis of the liver, with dropsical develop ments. He is very depressed at times about himself and refers to the probability of not living a great while. Of course there are really quite e-vident symptoms, on which his fears and those of the doctors are based, but he also has days of almost seeming to get the better of the bad symptoms, and this happens to be one. And we are all hoping a- - gain for a continuance. This morning I have a letter from K.G. and she said she had already written to you, as I had asked her to do. She ex pects to see you this week, so you will have this better nev/s from her. I do hope General that you have kept well. Papa had a long letter from General Winston at Aix, who writes that he not very well, the other day. With the kind regards of the family, I am yours sinoerely. Hardee Williamson. 369 August, 1902. New York City, August 21, 1902 ky dear N.r. President: Cn retui'ning to the city i learned of the death of Colonel George C. Tichenor, one of the General Apprasiers in New YQrk. • Colonel Tichenor was a boy with iiie in Iowa, and served three years on my staif . I secured him his first civil position, that of ^o®^ ksster at Des Iv^oines, when I represented thdt district in Congress. Since that tine his. serviced have won him a national reputati' n, and require no comnent from nie except to sry that he was one of the most vaiuable nen in his work that tl:is country ever had. His son, Henry Godge Tichenor, whom I have known since he was a baby, is an applicant for the position of ■'assistant Secretary of the Ireasupy, 'and I wish to say you could not possibly make a better appointment. hr. Tichenor is 35 years old, of unusually ro bust physical andn.ental strength. ■p.e had in the sixteen years, he spend as his father's- aman uensis anci secretary, during the latter's illness, such a practical education as no one else has lu d or had the opportunity to gain in all the intricacies of the tariff, both in legislation and enforcement. In that service under.his father i!e gained such an intimate knowledge of tb.e making of the hcHinley, Wilson and ^ingley tariff bills as no one else but hisfather gained. He also helped nis father to franie the Administrative Customs •''^ct, which was introduced in Congress by NcKinley, and passed June 10, 1890. Thus his knowledge ofthis intricate act,which is the basis of the wholesysten of Customs, is superior to anyone else at the present time. He has not -nly this ^oiiiplete training in the Acts and the theories of the Acts, but he has also served in the Treasury depart ment, first in 1889 and '90 as a secretary under his father when tl^.e latter was Assistant Gecretary of the Treasury; and later, in 1690, was niade the First Secretary of the General Hoard of Appraisers, created in that year. In the several years since, he has gained a knowledge of the other oi business side ol' thetariff by his business connections. His business experience adds greatly to his equipment for this position. F'.e has affability with firnness, good address with energy ha- fine executive capacity, and would make an adiidroble official from the start. t know thai he stands very high here in New York witb all people with whotii he coiiOs in. contact. I - . -f'tlj lii * Three orfour yeai-s. a£,o C ionel Tichenor proposed to resign his position as Appraiser, on accoxint of failing health, and desired his son appointed to the positi n. I went to see hr0sident li'CJ.inley in the matter, and he said that it was impossible; that he did not propose to relieve Colonel Tichenor; that if he did no work, the bene fit" of his judgment would niake hini more vaulable than any other person would be, but he intin.ated to me two or three times that if uolonel tpj^QpgYi^or should die it would be proper for us to present his son s name, and it .would be favorably considered. From my talk with the President I was satisfied that he intended to appoint him. 1 under stand, however, that he is not an &,.plicant for tl at position, as the Government considers it best to appoint some person outside of New York, I would not urge this appointment upon you if I did not know the young man, and the great ability with which he.would fill the position, and what a credit he woulo be to the service and to hir.self. I believe if you were to see the young man you would your self be favorably impressed with his evident ability. 'A'hile he is named for n.e, I desire to say that he is not relrted to me, but was given the name on account of his father's friendship for me and service with me. Very respectfully yours.

I unveiled "the kinsman mon ument at Council Bluffs and at the State Encanpn:ent of the Grand Army at Des Ivoines I delivered an address on Shernian, both of which I ami sending to you under separate cover. At the unveiling of the Kinsmian monument at the Bluffs there wei-e n.or-e ofthe 4th boys than I have seen together in a long time, and they all inquired for you universally, and it was the first question asked. At Des koines I had a notice put in tiie papers to get together the 4th boys tiiere, and between the two iilaces I got to see about all the m.embers of the 4th there are in Iowa, and some fromi out of the state, and they all expressed their great desire to see you, and requested me to take to you their best wishes and hopes for your good health. At Des koines they appointed a coii.mittee for the puri^ose of having a reunion of the 4th Iowa each year. How miuch it will amiount to I dont know, but they have a good crwod in charge of it. There were a dozen or twenty who nade very appropriate little speeches at the mieeting, and not a single person failed to mention his service under you and regrets that you could not be with us. The Des l^^oines gathering was a marked one and a very strong one. I should say there were at least ten thousand people there and over one thousand delegates. It does an old soldier good to get back with the boys and receive their hearty greetings. They could not do enough for me, and if you had been there you would have received the same or, better treatm^ent. They wanted to elect me to everything, which I could not pern,it, but they unanimously elected m.e a delegate at large to the Grand Army n'eeting at Washington, and, of course, I will have to go. I tookup the Fhilippine question with them, and passed a resolution, which you probably read in the papers; they took a standing vote and every m.an in the convention arose . There were also miany outside your old regiment who inquired for you. ky trip during the two months was a very pleasant and interesting one. I hoi)e to hear from you and to know that you ax-e better. Is there anything that I can do for you. If there is I would be glad to do it. ky sunn, er has been broken up by one demand and another so i have had very little rest, buttixe weather has been very cool. I have been ovei' to Boston spending son.e tinie, and expect to have to go away again very soon. It seems as though the older I get and the less work I have to do the busier I am. 372 Please reiTieir.ber me to the family, especially to Iv.^ss liaidee, who I know is with you. Truly and cordially yours, General Janes A. Williarison, Jamestown, R. I.

I wrote a letter yesterday to the General which was mailed this iricrning. I wrote as soon as I heard of his sickness, and hope the letter will in terest and cheer him up. I gave hin a good deal of news on matters in the V'est. i have been away most of the summer myself,' and exi)ect to go to Canada for quite a long trip with Sir WiHiam Van H^rne. I would like to be kept posted about the General's health and arn greatly encouraged upon leceipt of your letter. If there is anything in the world I can do let n.e know, as you know nothing wouldbe niore pleasing to me than to be of assistance. I sent a couple of books to the General today. If he is able to read theiri they will "interest him.. General Porter, when he was here, told me that General Vinslow has heart disease, and they were greatly alarmed about him. I saw General Porter thought it was pretty serious, 1 forgot to say to the General that I was at West Point during the Centennial there . Porter was there and inquired very anxiously about your father, but I thought t>;en he was in good shape, as I knew he had gone to California. Please remeniber roe to all the family, and believe me.

Dear General: During the first of this month you wrote to Judge Trimbel, Department Commander of Illinois, assuring him of your support of my candidacy as proposed by this department for Commander in Chief; and knowing your intention to be present during the Encampment which will be held in Washington October 6th to 10th I am very glad to hear that you can go and that you intend to go. 1 hope nothing will prevent your going. You are a strong man; one of the conspicuous great survivors 1^ of our War. Your word is of great weight with a multitude of men, and I sincerely trust that you may have strength and health to be present. Sincerely yours, John C. Black. 877 Gen. G. M. Dcdge, Lincoln, Neb. Aug. 25, 1902 . New York. Dear Sir; I was commissioned by the late P. S. Morton to complete the history of Nebraska of which he was editor. Ne directed that your ve very interesting paper about the Union Pacific railway read at the last meeting of our historical society be incorporated in the history. I am anxious to obtain from you all important facts available a out the organization of the U. P. company and the construction of the road in Nebraska. Mr. Train's friends say that he was the promoter and inventor of the Credit Mobilier company—that he actually got the men together to organize it. What can you tell me bout that? I would like a list of the original stockholders of that ompany. 1 should be obliged if you could induce the secretary of the Union Pacific company to furnish me with mileage of the various lines in Nebraska and when they were constructed and acquired.- The secre tary has furnished similar data (Sec. of the G. B. & o.) I should like any disclosures you may choose to n)ake regarding the controversy over the original location of the terminus of the roadin question and the location of the bridge—also as to the "oxbow" deflection. Pacts about the source'of the funds for the first part of the line cOiistructed and other financial data of the beginning would be very valuable. Do you remember anything about the action of lowa members od congress in promoting the organization of the territory in 1853 ? 1 knew Senator A. C. Dodge in Wisconsin and later in Iowa, Anything about his cooperation with Douglas in this matter and especially in securing the division of the territory would be particularly useful. As a personal credential i refer you to mv friend w. R. Kelly, solicitor of the company. "Very truly yours, Albert 'Vatkins, 379 Aug. 1902 West Point, N.Y. Aug.26th My dear Genl. Dodge I am writing to ask if you will come up to West Point, to stay with me and my brother and wife, next Saturday and Siinday, the 30th and 31st of Aug? We shall be so delighted to see you, as will be all your friends here. You know how you slighted West Point in your brief visit before And I want you to see the "Inspection of the Corps" next Saturday at two o'clock P.M., also the "Sunday Parade". There are trains leaving here for the City, Sunday evening if you must go or Monday morning at your pleasure. Trains leave New York City for here in the Morning, Saturday at 10.55 and 11;30 o'clock New York Central Road. The first being the best and then you'll be ^ XI T J rsrt .. . . just in time for the Inspection. Of course if it is impossible for you to come Saturday, we shall hope to see you Sunday forenoon for the day but we hope you will surely come up Saturday morning the 30th. I am glad indeed to say, that Fred has his orders to return home to Command in Texas, where he will be most happ^*- after his four years in the tropics. He and I, my dear General, will insist, and surely count upon a visit from you in San Antonio next winter. Do please give us the pleasure of seeing you here next Saturday forenoon and Sunday as we shall count upon your coming. I am so indebted for the pamphlets in which we are deeply interested, appreciating all your solendid work always, the whole army does. I am so glad indeed you sent the articles about Fred to Armv & Navy Journal. Hope they will be used. Many thanks myself, believe^me,^ favorable reply and with regards from Ulysses and Yours sincerely. Ida H. Grant August, 1902 381 New York, H. Y. Aup:ust 26 th, 1902 Dear General Your letter of Auf^ust 2oth, in regard to my article on Tichenor, is very interesting to me. The criticisms you rfiake are just and no doubt correct. I wrote the article entirely when I was at Saratoga, one Sunday afternoon, and, of course, entirely, from memory. You can under stand hoB a character sketch covering nearly forty years of life and of political events could not be accurately dealt with solely from memory. I wrote the article because no one else did, George Tichenor favored many men during his life, and through him many men made a great deal of money, editors of great newspapers gained a great deal of advantage by way of information and advance news. So far as I read the papers after his death, and I saw many of them, there was not one editor who gave over a short papagraph concerning him and his great career, or a single one of the great manufacturers and other people benefitted by the bounty he created who came forward to say a good word for their dead friend and benefactor. Seeing this, ray temperament led me to do what I did,-- write an article on first suggestion and off hand. I had this reserved, however,— that I intended the article finally to go into my Iowa sketch book, for which I will revise it and largely rewrite it. I will be glad to have any suggestions, and have filed your letter for this purpose, when I gain time to rewrite this article, Iowa has been strangely deficient in not retaining the history •of its useful men. No State is so derelict in•this regard. I have seen this for many years and noticed with regret and something of shame how strangely remiss our own State has been in this respect as compared for instance, with Wisconsin, which makes a good record of its useful men as the events occur. As a partial reparation for this, and from love that all pioneers have for those who were with them, I have sought at such intervals as I can gain for writing to try to put in form some thing of early Iowa as it actually was and something of the temper and work of the splendid people of the early day. I also have had -it in mind to make sketches of some twelve or fifteen of the more unique and useful men of the State, but I have had to do this as it has been forced upon me by death, as in Tichenor's case, or by politics, as in the cases of Allison and Dolliver. I want to take the picturesque men, those who pioneered and had great personality. I do not know whether you saw mv article on Judge Hubbard; He and Tom Potter I had always intended to take up as the railway men distinctively belonging to Iowa. I have looked upon you as the famous man, not only in Iowa, but in America, in railroad building, and the famous Iowa soldier, as a subject pecularlv worthy of such a book, and so worthy that if such a book were printed without a sketch of you there would be false in its purpose. I want to Dean, Dick Richardson, Leigh Hunt and others, who like them, had great individuality and striking personality. A name occurrs to me once in a while in a flash as one who ought to be ircluded such as G. V. White, who started in Iowa, and is in somrdeFree an actf.al product of the Gtate. If I had leisure time, of course I could think thia ^ write 4t all out. Uy intentions are good, but there is nothing so uncertain as Intentions about writing a book. I have honed Wfor opportunity to get a day or two with you somewhere and lo pet material for a sketch of you such as I want. I do not want the wo?n out material that has been used about you so long. I want to Perbaorto 382 .Your ancestry, the-people you came from, and treat you on psycholocrical Pirounds. It would be a labor of love to me to write pf you. I have about twelve chapters of this book now ready, that is, after I have revised it. I want to make three or more chapters about early Iowa and then ten or twelve more about men. I have been hoping that I could have a little vacation in September, and take a stenographer with-me and finish up all these sketches, running them through the Register and Leader so-as to get them a wide•circulation and•to gain any correc tions needed, and hoping to get them thus printed in time to print the book in the Pall. I want to make the book something that will be treasp ured up in Iowa homes for the edification of the present peopld and material for history for the future, making it profusely illustrated vvith pictures of the men treated about, at different times in their lives. Men like you and Governor Shaw are the sort of men I certainly want to have in the book. When you get back to town I want to take luncheon with you some day and talk about it. I had a talk with Secretary Shaw on Saturday about Harry Tichenor and I found he was in favor of his appointment and apparently-friendly to it, but that Oongresrnan Littauer, remembering some controversies had with Harry and his father over the schedule of the Wilson tariff bill, has been poisoning the President's mind against Harry. J talked with Senator Platt about it yesterday, and he said that Harry s course and that of his father throughout the whole framing of the W'iiion Bill was entirely correct and honorable. Did you know that Col. Heftburn is trying to have his son-in-law, Mr. Thummel, appointed as Appraiser in place of George Tichenor? Shaw seems to■think very -favorably of him, and I thought perhaps you might like to know what is going on, as I am sure you are very friendly to Hepburn. ' Sincerely .yours, - James S.

Grenville M. Dodge, Sir; No.l Broadway, New York. By direction of the Secretary, I have to acknowledge receipt by reference from the President, of your letter of August 21, 1902, recommending Mr, Henry D. Tichenor for appointment as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and to advise you that the same has been placed on file for consideration in the event of a vacancy occurring in the said office. Respectfully, Chas. Lyman Chief, Division of Appointments. 385 Seoteniber, 1902. New York City, September 2, 1902 Albert Watkins, Esq., Lincoln, Neb. Dear Sir: I am in receipt ol' yours of August 25th. The commence ment of tlie tnion Pacific goes back to 1853, when made the first surveys under Henry Farnum and Lr. Sheffield. I have written up a history of the Union Pacific, so far as its construction isconcerned, but it is in manuscript. i have books here that give all the original organizations, and so has IV.r, hunk in Rostoh,and, I think, the Secretary of the company in New Y rk. The best thing to do would be for you to come on here. It is impossible for any person to go to work and pick out those things fron; the great mass of records, yost of what I have seen written on Union Pacific matters is far from the fncc.s, and xT you are going to write it^jliistory it would be better for you to get the absolute facts,about whicli there can be no question If you came here I have nodoubt Nr. Iv-illar,the Secretary of the Company would give you all the facts you want, at any rate, I will send him your letter and ask him if he will give you such as you mention. The facts concerning the eastern terminus, the location of the bridge, and everything of that uind, are in the records. I do not know that anybody has a copy of these but myself, which you could see here,and if i were .:ere when you came I could give you the facts upon any Question that might arise. The matter of what you call the "Oxbow deflection" now under Nr. Peter A. Dey, who lives in Iowa City. At that time I was in the U, 3. service and Nr. Dey was Chief Engineer of the road, and he has a great deal of information as to the organization of the company from 18C2 on, for while I was in the service he had entire charge ot' these matters. I took up the matter when I left the service in 1866 ; the track was then at Fremont. He also knows who the funds can.e fr*om for constructing the first forty miles. After that tiniethe funds were raised here in New York from the sa]e of bonds andstock, and by the contributions of Nr.Ames and his following. in reply to your last question I have no knowledge of the organization of the territory in 1853 that would be of benefit to vou. A person vho can give you this information, if he would do so, is " GharJf. s Aldrich, Curator at Des Iv.oines, Iowa, who has worked up these matters pretty thoroughly. There is such an amount of material that a person writing a history, of the Union Pacific should look over that it wcuLd be impossible to send it to you. Nypaper on the subject is a long one, and as I have but onecopy I would not like to send it out. I have never used it, but there are facts in it that would be of great aid to you, and perhaps give you pretty nearly all you want. „ . ^ ^ ^ a j Very truly yours, G N . Dodge . 387 September, 1902 New York -City, September 3, 1902 Alex. Millar, Esq., Secretary, Union Pacific Railway, 120 Broadv/ay, New York City. Dear Sir: I enclose you a letter fron. Albert '"atkins,in which he asks me to aid him in obtaning from you the mileage of the various U. P. lines in Nebraska, and when they were constructed or acquired. i have written Mr. '^''atkins that the proper thing for him to do, if he is to write a history of the Union Pacific in the history of Nebraska, isto con.e East and go over the records that are in print, and can be found eithere in Mr. Iv ink's office or yours. Ninetenths of what is written about the Union Pacific issimply romance. Before he died J. Sterling M rton undertook this matter, and if he had lived it would have been'^properly done. Isuggest that it is to the interest of the company tiiat whatever goes into this history cf Nebraska should be the truth, and i think if you would take the pains to furnish what M'r. '.Vatkins wants, which I knowyou can do from the records in your office, it would be oT great assistance in this direction. 1 have offered to let him read the history ofthe rocd as I have compiled it fron my own personal knowledge, the records in my own department, and the other records that came to tiie. This has never been printed or published in any way, but am perfectly willing to let himgo through it and lake out such natters as would be proper for the history. There seems to be a great disposition at present to write up the Union Pacific. I am getting letters fron. many people, but the amount of information they request would keep a man busy a year compiling. I pay very little attention to the requests, but when one cones fromsuch a source as this I think itshould receive atten tion. I have written Mr. V.'atkins that he can ascertcin all about what he calls the "Uwbow," and the building of the first forty miles, from Mr. Peter A. Day, who now lives in iowa City, but even all those facts are in print. I think also we should pay some attention to this history for the reason that it will put the Amies' where they belong. These remonces of what Train did, and the Credit Mobilier, etc., arc all right for newspaper work, but in a history the facts should be set forth as they really exist. Please return to me Mr. Matkins* letter, and oblige.. Very truly yours, G. W. Dodge. It 889 Septenber, 1902. New York City, September 3, 1902, Hon. J. S. Clarkson, Custom House, Hew York City. ^■y dear Rhet: i enclose you Lynan's answer to my letter. The question in m^y mind is how are we to get this matter before the President? It evidently is in a pigeon-hole now, and it is doubtful if it is ever taken out. I do net believe that the influence of Littaur will have any weight with the President if he understood the natter, "fhen he gets home I think I will write another letter, and call his attention to it. However, I will be guided in this matter by you. I was glad to see what you have to say about writing up Iowa, and its prominent.men. There is no person who can do it as well as yourself, because there is no person in the State who has come into such personal contact with them as you have, and none who wields so ready a pen. I see your article on Tiohenor is being quoted very exten sively. I nowice the Evening Post had a lon_ article, and I have seen it in other papers. In my opinion it could not have been better. Of course, in v.ritini, these things •- person is liable to be a little off son.etimes in some monor details that do not amount to anything; what I wrote youabout was hardly worth noticing. If anything is ever to be written about me,there is no per son inthis country that would perfer. to have do it than yourself, because, probably, there is nobody that knos more about me, and there is no one, ^ know, who would give the cold f acts as you v/ould. I would be glad to sit down with you at any time and talk over with you ai .y natter you desire to discuss. iwy records which liave been compiled here are so complete that the rernances and many things said about me would be wiped out. If you will come to my office at any time ^ can show then to you. ihey are com.plete up to 1870. I Dili perf ectly willing, and will be glad to'give you any and all the time you desire. Isuppose any man who has had a statue erected to him in the ^tate while living, will have something said about him, and it is best that what issaid should be the truth. All my life I have had hard wotk to fight off the romances. I am very glad to see that you are taking interest in these matters, also in political m.atters, again. I am at your service at any time. ' I will be in the city again next week, but am liable to leave here during ttiis mnth to accomipany ^ir- Aiiliara Van Home over the Canadian Pacific Railway, but will endeavor to arrange my time to accomod: te you at any time. Truly and cordially yours, G. V. Dodge. 391 September, 1602 New York, N. Y. September 4, 1902 My dear General Many thanks for your letter of yesterday. As to Harry Tichenor, everything depends upon the retention or removal of the impression made upon the President by Littauer. I have talked with Senator Platt, and he says that all the charges made by Littauer apainst Harry are unfounded and that he will, if called upon, give the President time. What it needs is some powerful man entitled to talk on the subject, such as Allison, to take the matter up with the President and issist on Tichenor being given a fair hearing. It is not a serious thing if Harry Tichenor is refused an office on fair grounds; it is a serious thing indeed if he is turned down in a manner that reflects on his honor and that of his dead father. As to the article about you, we had better wait until the evening I will take dinner with you and get the information that I want direct from you. There is plenty of 'data about you, but not on the points that I consider vital ira man and his ancestry. " I return the Treasury Department letter. Sincerely yours, ■ James S. Clarkson General G. M.

They were in many of the important campaigns, Its reciniein^ reginiei expeditions, j-.- e and battles of the western armies binder Grant, Sherman, and Thomas. Their service was from Missouri to the Gulf, and the Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic States. They marched thousands of miles ao'i were transported great distances on nearly all the navigable streams of the South and Southwe.st They were among the bayous of Louisiana and in the Yazoo Pass, wading neck deep at times in that great overflow from the Mississippi. They ninnbered over 72,000 in December, '62, under those famous Division Commanders, Dodge, W. Sooy Smith, Kimball, and Lauman, and were at Columbus, Ky., Memphis, Tenn., Corinth. Miss., and vicinity. Later the three last named with their divisions reinforced Grant at Vicksburg, and, under C. C. Washburn, took part in the siege of that stronghold and so again at the siege of Jackson, Miss. Some of its famous regiments had seen service in the Mi.ssouri and Arkamsas campaigns, and were at Duvall's Bluff, through the Yazoo Pass to Fort Peniberton, Miss., and later defeated at Helena, Ark., the combined armies of the Confederacy west of the Mississippi. These joined the corps at Vicksburg and started with Sherman for Meridian. The divisioii.s of Andrew J. Smith and Joseph .4. Mowci were ordered back, having been "loaned" to Banks for his expedition up Red River, to be returned to Sherman at an early date. They fought in nearly all the battles of that noted expedition, won by thein.selves a great victory at Pleasant Hill, La., and succe.ssfully held the rear on that long and famous retreat, saving an army from capture and destruction ; also immense supplies to the Union ; clo.sing campaign at the bloody battle of Yellow Bayou, La., while the army of Banks crossed the Atchafalaya on the bridge of .steamboats. They returned too late to join Sherman, but defeated Marmadiike at Old River Lake, Ark., and, reaching Memphis, Tenn., marched out to Tupelo, Miss., and in a three days' battle defeated Forrest, flushed with his recent destruction of the Union Army under Sturgis. Again they crossed the Mississippi, followed»Price into Mi.s.souri, and assisted in driving him out, making a forced march from near Little Rock to Cape Girardeau. Later they arrived at Nashville, and, with A. J. .Smith in command of Thomas' right wing, took large part in that great 394 battle and victory. Then they reached the Gulf and were in the siege of Mobile and the as.saults on Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely. The Left Wing, under Grcnvillc M. Dodge, marched iviih Sherman to the relief of Chattanooga, but was left at Pulaski, Tenn., to guard the Nashville and Decatur Railroad. It had fought at Hernando, Coldwater, and Old Town Creek. Later it took part in the Atlanta campaign, and from Chattanooga to Atlanta, May i to September 4, 1864, fought many battles, notably Snake Tree Gap, Resaca, Lay's Ferry, Rome Cross Roads, Dallas, Big Shanty, Kenesaw Mountain, Ruff's Mills, Atlanta, Ezra Church, Jonesboro, and the siege of Atlanta. Its members, transferred to other corps, joined in the March io the Sea and in the Grand Rcvinv. On reaching home they resumed the varied occupations of private life, and now, after 37 years of the Nation's great progre.ss and expansion, its survivors, in company with all others of that great Patriot Armj', are invited to visit the National Capital in an official way, march over part of the line of the Grand Review, be reviewed by the Pre.sident of the United States, and .see the historic city where Lincoln .served and died. It is part of the Programme of the Encampment to hold Corps Reunions on the 50-acre lot south of the Executive Mansion, named in honor of our soldier President, Camp Roosevelt. There will be the spacious tents in which the reunions will be held, and around them many large tents, one for the headquarters of each corps, and other .smaller ones for the use of brigades and regiments, if .so desired. The Reunion of the i6th Corps will probably take place in the Sherman Tent, ^rresday Afternoon, October Jth, 1902, and our old and beloved Corps Commander, General Grenville M. Dodge, one of the few remaining ones, will be pre.sent and addre.ss you, as will also others of the noted commanders and '' members of the corps. It only remains for us who are now in Washington to invite our comrades of the i6th Corps to come and unite with the G. A. R. in its greatest National Encampment, to be held in this city October 6-11, 1902. This call goes out to any comrade who at any time served in the i6th Corps. Plea.se notify us of your acceptance. When YOU arrive, report at once at Camp Roosevelt, at the Corps Pleadquarters tent, which will have for its sign the Corps Badge ; also suitable inscription. The Committee on Reception will meet and greet you, and you will be given a warm welcome. It will be our plea.sure to assist you in securing added information about your old command and to contribute in every way we can to your comfort and pleasure while with us, particularly in securing reunions with former eomrades who may be here and will, like you, register on our books.

JUl'amson d^"ed. Pe was the Adjutant General of my rec^ment, the 4th "^^owa Infantry, and I wrote the following sketch of s 1^fe and aubl'c service wh^'ch was publ^'shed ^'n the Des Llo'nes Re-'^ster and also ^'n the Annals of Iowa; JAMES ALEXANDER WILLIAMSON PART 1. Brigadier General James Alexander Williamson, a dis tinguished soldier and citizen of the state of Iowa, died at Jamestown; Rhode Island, on September 7, 1902. As a long-time friend and comrade of General William son, and as a citizen of Iowa, it is a pleasure to me to pay the tribute tbat this distinguished soldier is entitled to, and to make of record his services as a citizen and a soldier. He was born February 8, 1829, in Columbia, Adair county, Kentucky, of good Scotch-English ancestry. When but a child of three years of age he was taken by his mother, recently become a widow, with the family and the ma ternal grandparents, to a little settlement on White river, near Indianapolis, Indiana, where he spent his yOunger days in cultivating the soil, and overcoming the hardships en dured by pioneers of those days. When a boy of 15 years, young Williamson, with his people, again migrated westward to the territory of Iowa. They moved in prairie schooners with ox teams, over the fertile lands of Illinois and into what is now known as Keokuk county, Iowa, one year before it became a state. He did a man's work while yet a boy, laboring hard that every op portunity should be improved in the way of study, and the reading of such books as were available in a new land, and fitted himself to enter Knox college, at Galesburg, 111., from which he graduated and went to the litttle town of Lan caster, Keokuk county, where he read law in the office of a fellow townsman, and soon acquired a good practice. He also became interested in various enterprises incident to the development of a new country. He soon obtained the con fidence of the people in his town, and was sent to Boston and New York to purchase goods for the business men. In 1853, when 24 years old, he married Miss Ann W. Gregory, of Birmingham, Van Buren county. A little more than a year later he took his wife and child to Fort Des itdihesl where he became interested in the real estate and banking business. In 1885 he was a prominent factor in the removal of the Iowa capital from Iowa City to Des Moines, and it was largely through his efforts that this was accomplished. It is a matter of great regret to many citizens of Iowa that he was not permitted to write the story of this event, as he had promised to do for the Annals of Iowa. The political views of General Williamson in these years^ 1855-1860, were democratic. In i860 he was a delegate to the national convention in Baltimore, which nominated Douglas and Johnson. The same year Williamson was chairman of the democratic state committee of the state of Iowa, and, as such chairman, called a convention of all persons who wished to avert a civil war, which met in Des Moines in the winter of 1860-61. Few of the large number of persons attending this convention believed there was any danger of war, and were unwilling to seriously consider the question, or the possibility of war, but being born in a slave state, it , Williamson's firm belief that war was inevitable, and trom , the hour when the first gun was fired in the J-f®' lion no one doubted where he stood. He bepn to put his business affairs in order, and when the call came he recruited a few men at Des Moines, and with a few men that "v ere recruited by Judge Reed in Dallas county they were sent to ^oui Cuncil c Bluffs and were made ^ a part of what was the tiT I rLed the Fourth iLa. Hon. Caleb Baldwin, a iTmhie!al5 ' for the position of adju an ^ liamson told Judge Baldwin companies ; mission he would enlist as a pn ^ know Wilof the regiment, if it was f ^ Baldwin's recommen liamson personally, but to me with a letS'?romT^lg= bTS or Governor Kirlwoocl, I forge, which, speaking very highly ^him. Soon mV?ampeTrt1eteoTb|- ment moved to St. ' uniforms, blankets, cooking fie n.en la. broiight with them from their homes. We were immediately sent from St. Louis to Rolla, and the regiment landed there destitute of every necessity, except guns sufficient to mount guard. On arriving at Rolla, I immediately sent Wil" liamson to St. Louis to obtain the necessary equipment for the legiment. In describing his difficulties in carrying out his oi ders he said: "I entered upon an experience in the line of duty that was at least novel and unusual, and if I could make a faithful pen or word picture of it I feel sure that but few would believe me. I had been unable even to procure a uniform for myself, and I had to appear, or try to appear, before Major General John C. Fremont, com manding, in citizen's clothes, having nothing about me but rny orders to indicate that I belonged to the military serluce. I never saw General Fremont, although I had ap pointments with him at unseemly hours. On the occasion pt my hrst or second call I had handed to the chief of staff a correct and proper statement of my business, setting forth the condition of the regiment, and its imperative wants be fore It could possibly be of any service to the government. An appointment would be arranged for some unseemly hour, say six o clock and twenty-three minutes a. m., or some such time, and I was always at the entrance to the headquarters, watch in hand, at the time stated, only to' be tT^5 ^ I explained appointment with the general commanding, Zv^nt fiZ f," and deny me admission, or some k.t 1 any person until noon, o^dJ^TfoI orders for ^!"! such equipage as could then be had. I obtained I pro- -ured canteens from a stationery store, clothing from a rmdTtr .''lettles and cooking utensils from dry 'kets from f the arsenal, "I etc." the goods furnished. I drew mus Prussian make ,and many of hem burst at the first firing, and were more dang-erous at heir butts than at their muzzles.

All of these I endeavored to utilize in drilling the regiment, and from these and others there often came quite severe criti cisms of Williamson, although they never reached my ears, officially, and not much attention was paid to them, as wf were busy drilling the regiment. Soon after Williamson returned from St. Louis thei officers of the regiment all signed a petition asking him tc' resign as adjutant on account of his inexperience. The petiy tion was presented by Lieutenant Nichols, an officer who hac'' made a study of tactics, and was bright, but like many other.'"' had only the experience he had obtained since joining th( regiment, but in the drilling I had given the regiment h I had become efficient. This action of the officers greatly ai '■ noyed Williamson, but I had seen enough of him to kno^ ^ ■ how valuable an officer he was, and instructed him to deta ' '• other officers to perform the duties of adjutant on dress pa| ■ rade. While many of them were up in tactics, not having ' served in that capacity, they all made mistakes when the>' came out at dress parade, which relieved Williamson of much of the criticism he had been receiving, and the officers who signed this petition, after themselves having an op portunity to perform the duties personally, were much more lenient in their judgment of Williamson. I know that Lieu tenant Nichols, who was an excellent officer, and afterwardf" became lieutenant colonel and colonel of a regiment, becam' ' a very warm friend and supporter of Williamson. He, lik many others, when they presented the petition to him, di • not fully appreciate the duties which fall to an adjutant. ,' ' short time afterwards many of the officers, seeing Willian-l son's attention to his duties and his interest in the re" ment, made and signed this endorsement upon the petitic ' ^ "We, the undersigned, having become satisfied of the comp " tency of Adjutant Williamson and being pleased to a-' ' knowledge his earnest desire to discharge his duty, as act of justice withdraw our names from the within petitio ■ expressing the hope that our intercourse may be long an pleasant." This ended the controversy. i ' Williamson, in writing about this afterwards, said: "O^ this occasion I required all my strength to keep myself ui'i'" der control. Colonel Dodge uttered no speech to the con^ 3S7 mittee; he said absolutely nothing; silence reigned until the end of the dinner. I finally broke the silence by saying to him, 'Well! what shall I do?' His reply was, 'Attend to the duties of your office.' I have always regarded this as a most friendly act, and the one having a greater bearing on my military life than any other that ever came to me. If Colonel Dodge had hesitated, or said less than he did, 1 should, of course, have handed in my resignation." During the winter of 1861-2, the regiment started on the Pea Ridge campaign as a part of General Curtis' army of the southwest. In that campaign I commanded a brigade, in which the Fourth Iowa was one of the regiments >and Williamson was detailed as my adjutant. At the same time I kept full control of the regiment, and he kept his hands upon all the regimental details. We made a steady march until we reached Springfield. The enemy, under Price,' were supposed to be occupying Springfield, and we lined up one night about midnight for the purpose of moving upon and attacking Springfield at daylight. We had put out our skirmish lines and I can distinctly remember hearing Sigel's artillery on our right. The night) was dark and I lost my skirmish line and sent Williamson after it. He was unable to find it, and we were in great distress, thinking the enemy had captured it, but alx)ut daylight we saw men coming to wards us, several of them mounted on horses, and in differ ent costumes. The skirmish line had skirmished into Springfield, and finding no enemy there had taken the leav ings of the Confederate army, and were coming out to us in great glee, so that our whole attack upon Springfield was a farce. From Springfield we pushed on very rapidly, being oc casionally halted as we went along by Price's rear guard, and never being able to bring his army into line .of battle^ though we were often forced into line of battle by the dem onstrations of their rear guard, until we reached the coun try south of Cassville and Benton, where we rested until March 5, when we were aroused and moved back in the night to Sugar Creek, the enemy under Van Dorn being reported as moving north to flank us. On the first day of the battle of Pea Ridge, while we were facing south, and lined up behind Sugar Creek, build ing entrenchments, one of the officers of Colonel Phelps' Twenty-sixth Missouri infantry reported to me that the ene my were passing around our right flank to our rear; that on p >^p the road they were taking to Cassville there was a ravine, or what was known as "Cross Hollow," which could easily be obstructed and detain their march. I immediately reported this to General Curtis, and he at once instructed me to de tail a force and go there and obstruct the road. I made a detail, and with this officer as guide, went to the spot and spent some time felling trees across the road, and making such obstructions as were possible, as the enemy were at that time coming down the road, and two companies of my own regiment that had followed us had in the dark failed to find us, and we thought they had been cut off bv the enemy, but they came into camp all right. General Price, in his report, gives this as one of the reasons for not attacking us at day light. In referring to this, Williamson says; "Regardless of all opinions, I have always thought and believed the cut ting of this timber saved Curtis' army from defeat. The enemy could easily have gotten into position, and had choice of the ground upon which to fight long before daylight, and could, and perhaps would have brought on the battle at day light, which would have been a surprise." The delaying of General Price's command gave Gen eral Curtis an opportunity and time to change his entire line from Sugar Creek, facing south, to Elkhorn Tavern line, facing north. In the battle of Pea Ridge, in which the Fourth Iowa took so conspicuous a part, and for which it received so much credit, Williamson's conduct won the commendation and friendship of the regiment. My brigade remained on tbe field facing and fighting the enemy from the position we took in the morning until nearly dark, while the other brigade which was posted at Elkhorn Tavern was forced to fall back, .(\long towards night, not hearing any firing in that direction, I sent Williamson over to find Colonel Carr, who commanded the division and ascertain what was going on. The enemy appeared to be on both my flanks, and I did not understand how they got around my left flank. Wil liamson ran into a column of the enemy that had been com ing up the Elkhorn Tavern road, and was actually in our rear and received their point blank fire without being hit. He came back to me and informed me of our condition; that we were virtually surrounded, and I immediately drew out my brigade. My losses had been very heavy, in fact, there was not a field officer left in my command except myself. In falling back we passed very near to a column of the ene- .'ll my, but they evidently did not know who we were, but supposed us to be a portion of their own force and allowed us to pass on by them without making any demonstration. When we had fallen back close to the new line that was oc cupied by the rest of the division. General Curtis rode up and made inquiries as to what there was in front. I in formed him, and told him we were out of ammunition, and he immediately ordered me to fix bayonets and charge the enemy. The brigade heard the order, and, before I could repeat it, they had fixed bayonets, and were charging over the same ground at a double quick, but we found the enemy had retired at the same time we did, and we returned and took up our position in the new line that had been formed for the night. On the second day Williamson was wounded, but kept the field. The third day's fight was very short. The defeat of the enemy on our left by Colonel Davis, and the loss of their two generals, McCullough and Mclntosh, caused them to leave for Arkansas, and General Van Dorn, who was in command, sent word to General Price, who commrmded in our front, to make a demonstration in the morning and retire by way of White River, and, in fact, to get out as best he could. As soon as we moved forward on the morning of the third day the enemy retired, and we could see them retreating in great disorder, spreading out over the hills. My brigade had the lead in following to wards White River, and had commenced capturing strag glers of the enemy, but I was recalled in a short tirne, and returned to hold possession of the battlefield. Williamson went personally to General Curtis to inform him of what we had discovered, and what we thought could be accomplished by following the enemy in that direction, but because Sigel's command had fallen back toward Cassville General Curtis held us on the field which we had fought so hard to win. After this action the lieutenant colonel of the regim^t resigned. On March 23, 1862, at Keetsville, Mo the offi cers unanimously recommended Williamson for lieutenant colonel, stating that in the late battle of Pea Ridge e _- haved with such gallantry and bravery as to merit their hearty commendation. The officers also secured the opin ion of the enlisted men, and reported them as being unani mously in favor of his promotion. On April 4 Williamson was appointed lieutenant colonel, and took command of the regiment, as I had leR it soon after the battle of Pea Ridge, having been made a until the end of the v\a . ,. relation to the i g „e «8"'f ^yi,g';?y'!;dvte in regard to nearly everything ^nmXnce connected ;ia.h in ^ ^ On the I2th of April J, Keetsville through morable march from thei Mississippi river, Missouri and ^ a 1862.

On May 22 the unanimous recommendation of the of ficers of the regiment for the appointment of Williamson as colonel was forwarded to the governor, who consulted me in relation to the appointment, as he had done in the appoint ment of all officers in the regiment, and said m one ot his letters to me: "All the commissions you recommended have been sent on, except as to the captain of the batteiy . ne of the underlying reasons for the efficiency of the Iowa troops in the field and the confidence their superior officers had in them came from the fact that after a regiment en tered the field Governor Kirkwood invariablv took the ad vice of the officers as to appointments and promotions in it. On July 31, 1862, Williamson received his commission as colonel. On July 15 he wrote me from Helena; "Can you not bring some influence to bear that will get this regi ment under your command ? The men and officers desire it very much." I made application for the regiment several times, but as my commands were far away from where it was serving,T never succeeded in obtaining its services. - , - t- ;iP=- . liiJ' •"" 399 The regiment remained at Helena hunting guerrillas and reconnoitering through the country on both sides of the Mississippi river. The climate and malaria caused much sickness. On December 23, 1862, General Sherman arrived with a fleet en route to Vicksburg. The Fourth Iowa was taken along, with others, and assigned to Gen. J. M. Thayer's bri gade of Morgan's Third division of the right wing of the Thirteenth army corps, commanded by General Steele. In the battle of Vicksburg Bayou Williamson was wounded, but did not leave the field. The regiment lost heavily in killed and wounded, but the Yazoo water that the com mand had to drink ultimately caused the death of more men than were lost in the battles of Vicksburg Bayou and Arkansas Post. In writing to me in relation to this attack, Williamson said: "After being under fire all day until about 3 o'clock, I received an order to charge the enemy's en trenchments right in the face of a battery that was planted above them. I never had seen the ground over which I was to pass, nor were directions given me as to the exact point where I should make the attack. I was only told to go for ward, and that I would be supported by other regiments. Of course, I did not want to be told a second time, but or dered the regiment forward at a double-quick. General Thayer going at my side. After getting under the enemy's fire I learned what I had not previously known, that there was immediately in front a narrow, deep swamp, which could only be crossed by the flank, which I was compelled to do, with a direct fire in front, and a cross-fire from the batteries on the right and left. As soon as the head of the line crossed I filed to the right and brought forward into line, and then we were enfiladed by what was before us, and were so exposed until we gained the first line of entrench ments and passed some distance beyond them. Here the discovery was made that we were not supported, and Gen eral Thayer said: 'My God! what is to be done?' Know ing that it was certain destruction to a large portion of the regiment to fall back, and that it could not be but little worse to stay, I said to him that I would hold the position I .then had until reinforcements came up, or until it was ren dered certain that they were not coming. I held the place about half an hour, until I could see none of our troops on either flank, or in our rear, and no hope of support; then came the perilous task of getting out. I gave the order to fall back, and got the regiment off in good order. When fv'M',, . ■<L? — ^ .> • • . «e- . "* j'.- ■ . .' ■ > r S-V" ■ • \ V : • ^ r I got back I found that the Thirtieth Iowa, which was to follow, had been ordered to the support of somebody else on the right, and the balance of the regiments which were to follow were lying on their bellies in the timber. My regi ment and I had apparently been forgotten by everybody except General Thayer, who was weeping like a child on ac count of General Morgan having ordered away the first regiment which was to support me, and halting the balance of the brigade, which, I imagine, however, was not hard to halt. General Thayer is a brave man, and I believe that if his arrangements had not been interfered with we would have gone entirely through the enemy's lines and carried the hill. There was gross mismanagement some place about General Thayer, but none on his part. General Thayer, in his report of the battle after mention ing Colonel Williamson's name six times, says; "The con- . duct of the noble Fourth, both officers and men, throughout this terrible ordeal, is worthy of the highest praise. They pressed steadily and firmly forward, there was no flinching; they entered the enemy's works in splendid s<""le. Colonel Williamson marched at the head of his column, and by his boldness and heroic courage won my unqualified admira tion. He is deserving of the favorable consideration of his government. He was struck by three balls, but not se verely wounded, and remained on the field the Ijalance of the day." The action of Colonel Williamson and his regiment in this attack received the commendation of his superior offi cers, and a board of officers authorized the regiment to place upon its banners, "First at Chickasaw Bayou." This is the highest compliment that could be paid to Colonel William son and his regiment for their action. Colonel Williamson and his regiment returned from Chickasaw Bayou with Sherman's army, under the com mand of General McClernand, and took part in the battle of Arkansas Post. In writing me in relation to this bat tle, Williamson said; "The regiment was under fire all day . at Arkansas Po.st, when another charge was ordered, but im mediately countermanded, as the enemy ran up the white flag, just at the moment the regiment was readv to charge. If we had made the last charge, but few would have been left, as the enemy's entrenchments and rifle pits were well ^ fr ■ J i - , - ' ,• •,* V* • ' k ' « - » i , • ' V , formed, and we would have been compelled to pass over a very level, open piece of ground to reach them." The army returned to the Mississippi river, and landed at Young's Point, opposite Vicksburg. Thayer's brigade camped upon the levee. The river was very high, and the men had to throw down brush, trees and debris to lie upon to keep out of the water. On the and of April the regi ment moved with Steele's division to Black Bayou, Rolling Fork and Sunflower, fighting guerrillas and Confederate ■forces all the time. Williamson said; "The expedition de stroyed enormous quantities of corn and other supplies, burning great quantities of cotton, cotton gins, houses, etc. The march was through a very nrolific and fertile coun try, and slaves by the thousands joined the columns, bring ing all their belongings with them, e.xpressing great joy and offering prayers for Mr. Lincoln. The fervent shouting of 'Glory to God' was impressed upon my mind, and formed scenes never to be forgotten. "On our return Colonel Lorenzo Thomas visited our army, sent by the president to state the facts to the army and obtain its opinion as to organizing colored regiments and mustering them into the service. All the officers pre sent were requested to express themselves upon the subject, and I was the first called upon. I favored the organization of the negroes, saying I believed they would make good soldiers, as I had seen many cases of bravery and devotion on their part, and had no doubt they would become efficient under proper officers. Somewhat to my surprise the short speech I made was applauded, as I had no knowledge how the army felt. It was decided by Colonel Thomas before he got down from the wagon from which he spoke to the command that he would then and there detail officers to form regiments out of the negroes who had followed Gen eral Steele's command in the late expedition. This was one of the most decisive and notable incidents I witnessed dur- ;"g the war." After this expedition. Colonel Williamson took part, un der General Grant, in the campaign against Vicksburg, and was camped above Vicksburg on the Mississippi river, near the head of the proposed canal. On January 23, 1862, in writing to me about the canal, he said: "The canal which we are working on will never amount to anything for the reason that if a sufficient rise should take place to wash it out, it would wash the whole army away, as there is not a spot Wr . "v ' /'". ,t^'- '■'■ / .\,V-' , .. • i; • • •" within fifty miles that does not overflow, except Vicksburg. 1 have not more than three hundred men for duty; the whole army is but little better than a hospital. I fear that I have lost my own health; I have not seen a well day for three months, and have lost thirty pounds of flesh, but I shall never give up while I can walk." On May i, 1863, Williamson, with his regiment, com menced the march to Grand Gulf, crossing after the rest of the army, and took part in the capture of Jackson. After two days they moved from Jackson, by way of Clinton, Bolton and Bridgeport, to Vicksburg. During all this time Wiliamson was very ill, but remained witb his command. On May 18, the Fourth Iowa, under the eye of General Sher man, fought its way to a position not far from where it made its first attack upon Vicksburg. On the 19th Colonel Williamson took part in the attack, but the ground over which they had to move was impassable, and Colonel Milo Smith, of the Twenty-ninth Iowa, was killed while consult ing with Williamson as to how they should get their regi ments out without serious lo$s. Up to the surrender his command worked at sapping and mining, getting close up to the rebel entrenchments. Colonel Williamson was obliged to take a leave of absence before the surrender of Vicksburg on account of his own illness and the critical ill ness of his wife. He returned to his command within thirty days, but this leave no doubt prevented his being recom mended for promotion, for at a later day when General Sher man met Mis. Williamson, he saidi ''You are the little woman for whom General W^illiamson sacrificed the hope of promotion by going to see," and then added, with kindly humor, "I don't blame him now." Upon Williamson's return to Vicksburg, he was assigned to duty in command of a good strong fighting bri gade, the Third brigade. First division. Fifteenth army corps. General Grant's general order, dated Vicksburg, Miss., October 15, promulgates the report of a board of officers', appointed for the purpose of determining the names of the battles that the regiments of the Fifteenth army corns were entitled to inscribe upon their colors and guidons. The re port authorized the Fourth Iowa to inscribe upon its colors If A,'- ' A"' v T. V;" -'• - and guidons, "Pea Ridge, First at Chickasaw Bayou, Ar kansas Post, Vicksburg, siege and assault, 19th and 22d, Jackson." On the 22d of September, 1863, Williamson's brigade took steamers to Memphis and marched to Corinth, Miss., where Colonel Williamson took command of the Second brigade, known as the Iowa brigade. First division. Gen eral Osterhaus commanding. Fifteenth army corps. Gen eral Sherman comrnanding, and took part in the movement towards Decatur, Ala., fighting at Dalton Station on the 20th, at Cherokee Station on the 21st, where Colonel Torrence of the Thirtieth Iowa was killed, at Barton Station on the 26th, and at Tuscumbia on the 27th, taking the town. As showing the enemy's force in front. Colonel William son quotes my dispatch to General Sherman as being Wheeler's and Lee's divisions of cavalry. Walker's and Roddy's brigades of cavalry and Forest with 350 men south of the Tennessee and east of Tuscumbia. On the 30th Wil liamson's brigade crossed the Tennessee at Chickasaw Land" ing, and marched with the rest of the Army of the Tennes see to Chattanooga. They reached Stevenson on November 16, and he said; "The road from there to Chattanooga was well nigh impassable, not only from being cut up by the large trains, but from tbe large number of dead mules left in the roadway." On November 23 they arrived at Look out creek. The pontoon bridge crossing the Tennessee was broken that night, and the First division. Fifteenth army corps. General Osterhaus commanding, was assigned to General Hooker's command. On November 24, 1864, Colonel Williamson's brigade •carried the point of Lookout Mountain, fighting above the clouds, and was the first brigade to break through the ene my's lines, and greatly distinguished itself. I have this from Colonel Daniel Butterfield, General Hooker's chief of staff, who informed me that in going to Geary's division, that came from the Army of the Potomac, seeking to as certain the position and condition of the troops, he found Osterhaus' division furthest advanced, and troops of Wil liamson's brigade just capturing Lookout Point, and when the New York monument was erected he intended that the names of the regiments composing Williamson's brigade should appear on that monument as having captured the point. ■V' LjjiiiJuy;*! General Osterhaus in his report, after describing the taking of the point of Lookout Mountain, says: "The rebels charged with great vehemence, and attempted to regain the numerous entrenchments they had thrown up all around to the White house. They were, however, signally repulsed and my regiments held this important point during the night. ■ The enemy, fully aware of the importance of the position gained by us, made several attempts to dislodge us in the fore part of the night. . . . After midnight he ab stained, and commenced his retreat toward Missionary Ridge." General Osterhaus in his report upon Missionary Ridge, says: "With a view of flanking the enemy's position in Roswell's Gap, General Woods, with the First brigade, was ordered to take the ravine on the right. Colonel William son's Second brigade ascended the steep Missionary Ridge- . . . striking both their flanks, and, their line of retreat threatened, the enemy hastily evacuated the gap. They had to leave their artillery, wagons, ambulances and subsistence stores in our hands." Speaking of the second attack, he said: "The Second brigade, Williamson's, fired a salvo into the terrified r^els. . . . Finding their es cape impossible ,they obeyed my orders and laid down their arms. My division took over two thousand prisoners and one piece of artillery." Writing of the battle of Ringgold, fought November 28, Williamson says: "Taylor's ridge at Ringgold, is a bold, rocky faced ridge, and very difficult of ascent. Bragg's army had all the time they wanted to get there, and to form in line on this crest almost out of any danger from, an attacking force. I do not know where the order origi nated, but I was ordered by General Osterhaus to go for ward, keeping my right well toward the gap. I endeavored to go up, and did go up, under a killing fire, in which I saw more valuable lives thrown away, absolutely sacrificed, without any apparent purpose or reason (as it afterward developed) than I have ever seen out of so small a number before, but except what General Osterhaus says in his re port, this whole battle seems to have been lost sight of in history, so far as I can learn. In the attack my brigade lost over eight hundred men." After Chattanooga, General Sherman in his report says: "I must say that it is but justice that colonels of regiments who have so long and so well commanded brigades shall be ■ commissioned to the grade which they have filled with so much usefulness and credit to the public service, namely . . . . J. A. Williamson, Fourth Regiment Iowa volun teers." For the action of Colonel Williamson and the Fourth Iowa in the battles of Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge and Ringgold, General Grant, on February 4, 1864, upon the report of a board of officers, authorized the regiment to inscribe '"Chattanooga" upon its colors. After the battle of Chattanooga, Colonel Williamson with his brigade, returned to Woodville, Ala., and remained for the winter. On January i, 1864, the Fourth Iowa reenlisted. On February 26th they started for home on vet eran furlough, and arrived at Des Moines on March 9th. The city gave them a magnificent reception, and the legis lature adopted the following resolutions: "Whereas, We have learned that the veterans of the Fourth Iowa have re-enlisted for three years, or during the war, and that they are now on their way to this city on fur lough, to enjoy for a short time the blessings of the dornestic circle, and the citizens of Des Moines are preparing to give them a proper reception; and deeming it our duty as theii representatives, to express our annreciation of their pllantry and their services in the suppression of' the rebel lion, therefore, be it T By the General Assembly of the state of Iowa, That we have watched with pride and admiration the hourth Iowa infantry, as step by step they have borne the ensip of the free, on the memorable fields of Pea Ridge Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, Jackson, Vicksburg' t'S Lookou Mountain, Cherokee, Missionary Caney Ridge Creek, and Ringgold, Tuscumbia' and m their long and weary marches, enduring all the privations and hardships of a soldier's life, they have toiled on and fought for home, kindred and countrv, until the mute graves ' of their comrades in arms point in sadness to the remnants ot brave men, who have honored their state and added to the glory of the nation. re-enlistment of said regiment orinnAlL principles of f civil liberty; and that their their love attachment of countrv to theis '^^"siderations, and entitles them to tlie lasting honor and gratitude of those whose firesides have been protected by their arms. gard for fhe disS^iSed sfrtL°ofXt '■^- members of this general assemhf h"^' o" the capital of the statfSe S the untarnished." ^ ^^Pt so sacredly ville.

The regiment had not more than formed be fore it was assaulted by a brigade of rebel infantry under Colonel Baker, and a very stubborn fight ensued. The regi ment nobly held the position and finally repulsed the as sault, inflicting great loss upon the rebels in killed, wound ed and prisoners." In this attack Lieutenant Colonel Nichols, who com manded the regiment, was wounded. In writing of the battle of Ezra Church on the 28th of August, Williamson said: "General Logan, commanding the Fifteenth army corps, came to me on foot after the battle had opened, as it was impossible to come on horse back, and cautioned me, saying, from his knowledge of the way the enemy was moving, that I would have a hard time, and that the success of the battle might depend upon what was done on my front. He said, 'If you will say that you can and will hold this point I shall feel comparatively safe as to the result.' I answered him that I would do my best; that he knew my command and knew that they were not much accustomed to giving way, and that we would hold that point as long as there was a man left. General Logan had feared the determined effort of the enemy that was made to break the line at that point was such as I had never wit nessed during the whole war. They came in double lines, and kept coming. The nature of the ground, however, was very much in our favor, and it appeared that if our fire was too high for the front line it was sure to catch the next, or the next, and later, when I looked over the battle-field it had the appearance of a whole line of battle that had fallen with the front line only a few yards away from us. This was the most sickening sight that I had ever witnessed. It looked more like a slaughter than a battle." Governor Stone of Iowa, visited the Army of the Ten nessee on the day of this battle, and General Sherman in con versing with him, said: "Colonel Williamson is at the front with his brigade, pitching in, as he always does." On September i Colonel Williamson was slightly wounded in the hand. In the final swing of Sherman's army to the rear of Atlanta, Williamson's brigade took part in all the engage ments. It won additional laurels at Lovejoy Station, when the Fourth Iowa under the eye of the commander of the division, defeated the enemy and saved one of our batteries. Williamson, in his report of the whole campaign, Chat tanooga to Atlanta, says : "So closes the record of this me morable campaign. I could not make it more brief and do ,'wir . ' ' y' , .. . * ■"./V Jl .- ' justice to the regiments of my brieade. The vast amount of labor done by this command, in addtion to the mar:hing and fighting, and the cheerfulness and zeal with which it has been performed is sufficient to encourage the best hopes for the success of our army. The casualties of the brigade during the campaign had been 280." Gene-ral Charles R. Wood, . commanding the division, commended Colonel Williamson for gallantry, especially on the 22(1 and 28th of July, also Col. S. D. Nichols, com manding Fourth Iowa Infantry. Major General Logan, commanding the Fifteenth corps, on September 13, in making his report, asked for the pro motion of Colonel Williamson to the rank of brigadier gen eral. When the campaign was o\ er General Sherman wrote the following characteristic letter: "Headquarters Military Division of the Mississippi, in the field, Gaylesville, Ala., Oct. 24, 1864.—General H. W. Halleck, Chief of Staff, etc.—General: I have always de signed to canvass the claims to promotion of all aspirants in the army, .so as to save the President the invidious task of judging among so many worthy men, all of whom can only be known to him by the record. But events and movements have followed each other so rapidly that my army com manders have not been able to attend to the matter, but have sent into my office the detached papers of each. These I en close herewith endorsed with my own individual opinion. I have not General Thomas' list, Ijut will instruct him to send it direct from Nashville, where he now is. If necessary to promote to divisions and brigades the officers now exercising the rank of major general and brigadier general, it be nec essary to create vacancies, I do think the exigencies of the country would warrant the mustering out of the same number of generals now on the list that have not done ser vice in the past 3-ear. "Among the colonels aspiring to the rank of brigadier general I can only name Colonel J. A. Williamson, Fourth Iowa; Colonel Thomas J. Flarrison, Eighth Indiana cavalry, and Colonel R. H. G. Mint^-, of Second Michigan cavalry, who have long and well commanded brigades, and who. seem to have no special friends to aid them in advance ment. "W. T. Sherman, Major General." 404 After the battle at Lovejoy Station, Williamson's bri gade returned to Atlanta, and took part from October 3 to 26 in the pursuit of Hood's army to the rear, and then re turned again to Atlanta, On December 19, 1864, Colonel Williamson was made brevet brigadier general for gallantry and good conduct in the campaign against Vicksburg, Chattanooga and At lanta. In the march to the sea, Williamson's brigade became the Third of the First division, Fifteenth corps. They left Atlanta November 15, and took part in the fights at Griswoldsville on November 22, Ogeechee river December 7 and 9, and Savannah December 10 to 21. After the capture of Savannah, Colonel Williamson was appointed a brigadier general on January 13, 1865, and soon after left his command and returned to Iowa by way of Washington and New York. Upon learning this I immedi ately applied to the war department for his assignment to my command, the department of Missouri, but received word from the war department that his commission had not yet been signed, but was on tlie president's table. On March 14, 1865, he was appointed brevet major general, U. S. V. It was ]\Iay 20 before his commissions and orders • reached him, and early in June he reported to me at St. Louis, and I assigned him to the command of the district of Missouri, in which position he served until July, 1865, when I relieved him from his command and ordered him to report to me in person for duty in the Indian campaigns. On this campaign he was assigned to duty on my staff, and accompanied me to Colorado, and north to Fort Laramie and the Powder river. While he was wdth me the order for his muster out was issued August 24, 1865, but he did not receive it until he returned to Fort Leavenworth, and was mustered out November 13, 1865. The government awarded him a medal of honor for the following service: "Leading his regiment against a su perior force strongly entrenched, and holding his ground when all support had been withdrawn." This was a suita ble closing of his military career as a soldier in the civil While he was in the army, the Iowa state republican convention in 1864 elected Colonel Williamson chairman of its delegation to the national republican convention. '^^' . t !.t * ' ' * which met that year in Baltimore, but he was then en gaged in the Atlanta campaign, and declined to leave the field. Four years later he served as chairman of the Iowa delegation at the national convention held in Chicago. In 1866, after the close of the war. General Williamson returned to Des Moines and resumed his law practice. He removed that year to Fort Smith, Ark., and while residing there returned to Iowa soon after I was nominated for con gress, and upon his own motion stumped my district with Governor Kirkwood. He wrote many letters to the com rades and his friends. My duties were such that I was obliged to be absent from the district. In a letter from Des Moines, dated September 28, 1866, he said: "I regret that I did not see you when I was out at your place. Kirkwood and I went the rounds and spoke at the places advertised for Kirkwood, and we found everything all right. You will be elected by a large majority, larger than any man ever had in the district." In 1867 General Williamson was talked of and urged to become a candidate for governor, and his own county sent a full delegation in his favor. He had been offered an appointment in the regular army, and on January 3, 1867, wrote me in relation to it as follows : "I could not accept a position in the regular army. My family is large and are of the age to need me at home." In 1863 General Williamson and myself were delegates to the republican national convention. In the fall of 1868 Williamson took charge of the land and lot agency of the Union Pacific railroad west of Green River, and was with me until the completion of that road in 1869. He then became largely interested in western lands and mines, and went abroad in those interests. The panic of 1873 stopped for a time all negotiations in London, and he retumed home. In 1876 General Grant tendered him the position of com missioner of the general land office, which he accepted, and remained in that position until 1881. During this time he was chairman of the public land commission, created by act of congress May, 1879, to codify and review the laws for the disposal of public lands, and examining and reporting upon the character of arable and arid lands, and the mining and timber lands, and in this examination he rendered very valuable services to the government. In 1881 he became land commissioner of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, subsequently its general solicitor, and final- .1 * t O.-V 4 t ' i I. . /V , . ' i:. •« ' ly its president. Upon leaving this position in 1892, he re tired from active life. In 1891 he married his second wife, Miss Maria Hall, who survives him. For seven years he has been a resident of New York city, spending his summers abroad, or at his summer home in Jamestown, Rhode Island. In 1900 it was my pleasure to accompany him to Carlsbad, Austria. We spent three de lightful month's together alt Spa and on the conti nent, and finally separated at Paris, where he remained and I returned home. During his seven years' residence in New York we were frequently together at the club, and socially, and we spent many delightful days and evenings together discussing old experiences and campaigns. It was then I learned what a devoted student and reader my old comrade was, and how much he had gathered up and stored away of what he had seen in his travels and from his extensive reading. He took gre.3t interest in all scientific works, especially in connection with the lives, character and habits of the ancients, and vis- ■ ited many of the places where these investigations were going on. He was also in continuous communication with the old soldiers who served under him, aiding them with advice and financially. In his later years he attended yearly the meenngs of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, and his death will bring great sorrow to that army, as he took an active interest in all its doings and knew personally near ly every one of its members. He was also a regular attend ant of the meetings of the New York Commandery of the Loyal Legion, La Fayette Post, G. A. R., and of the Union League club of New York. He was also a member of the Army and Navy club of Washington. It was only within the last year that his health began to fail, and almost up to the day of his death he was planning for the future, but he lay down and went to sleep, quietly and peacefully, just as he wished to, and was laid at rest in Rock Creek cemetery, Washington, D. C. His pall-bearers were General G. M. Dodge, Hon. Frank W. Palmer, Hon. M. D. O'Connell, General Alfred E. Bates, U. S. A., Cap tain Charles Train, U. S. N., Mr. Colgate Hoyt, and Mr. C. M. Whittington. Representatives of the government, delegations from the different societies of which he was a member, and from the general land office, were present, and with many others remembered him with beautiful floral tributes. General Williamson leaves a widow and four daughters by his first wife—Miss Haidee Williamson, Mrs. Warner B. Bayley, wife of Commander Bayley of the navy; Mrs. George R. Steams of Augusta, Ga., and Mrs. Roy Jones of Santa Monica, California. General Williamson was of fine, commanding appenance and inspired confidence in all with whom he was asso ciated. He was prompt in action, a gallant soldier, a gen ial and model citizen. The official reports show him to have been a faithful and efficient public official, and the war rec ords testify to the truth of the remarks made by Gener^' Grant, when he visited Des Moines and inquired partici larly about General Williamson of "Ret" Clarkson; he spok . of him in the highest terms as as excellent soldier wh had received less reward for his services and the work ac complished than any other officer of his rank in the ser vice. His own state of Iowa has placed his medallion bust on its soldiers' monument in testimony of the honor he has brought her, and the credit he had done himself in the civil war, and every comrade who has served under him will say with me, that he has answered the last roll call beloved and regretted by all his comrades, and by everyone who knew him. !e.\i n :tL 1^.. • .V. Personal Recollections of General William Tecumsth Sherman As a soldier of the Union, General Shennan, by com mon consent, stands second only in a galaxy of great commanders sncli as no single cycle in the annals of time can parallel. This is the verdict of the most suiDerficial reader and of the most diligent student of history. A reference to the official list of battles, skirmishes, and other contests, from April 15,1S61, to the close of the war, develops the astounding fact that for every day, in cluding Sundays, of those four years lere were at least three of these struggles. If in such a ueath gTapple Gen eral Sherman rose to tlie highest rank among the victors, it cannot but be interesting to turn back to the circum stances of his parentage and scan the surronndings of his youth to find,' if we can, the formative influences which moulded the plastic tendencies of his ;ature into the lofty and hanuonions individuality which mai'ked him out for eminent leadership. Both his father and grandfather had been learned in the law. His father not only mastered the intificacies of Coke and Littleton, but made himself familiar with what ever was worthy of reading outside of the books of the law, and was therefore fitted to shine in the domain of general literature as well as in the realm of technical jur isprudence. It was this gifted man Avho, when his third son was born, proposed to bestow upon him the name of a celebrated chieftain—as if seeing the child's future militaiw career. Judge Sherman entertained a warm admira tion for the celeiorated Indian chief Tecnmseh. This sin gular Indian was gifte<l with rare endoAvmeuts, which gave him great prominence amongst his tribal allies, and a commanding,influence over his folloAvers of the forest. Nature had made him a soldier, and he was a statesman by intuition. Farseeing in plan, Avary to Avin, sagacious to combine, and inflexible to execute, these qualities made him a formidable leader and also a dangerous op ponent. He was not habitually ruthless or cruel in his Avarfare; on the contrary, many agts of mer* ''<f gener ous chivalric protection, are recorded of him it would grace the annals of the knight en-antrv of o It was ; ■ 408 », 'GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN 3 name of this renoAvned Indian that Judge Sherman besto 3yeci npon the neAV-born son. Shortly after, at a social g athering in his house, Judge Sherman Avas remonstra^ed AAuth, half in lAlay and half in earnest, for perpetuat] jjg- jn pjg family the saAnge Indian name. He only ^''^Paied, bnt it Avas Avith serionsuess, "Tecnmseh AAms a great AA andor," and the affair of the name AAms settled, never to be changed, even as in the case of General Grant by dictum of West Point and the War Department. A single apt remark aauII sometimes reveal to the ex perienced and observant a clearer aucav than aaJII be product^l by long and laboi'ed desci'iption. Such a remark ' General Sherman once made to a lady, and the storj^ Avas naiTatod by her to a party of friends, since the general's death. She AAms, many years ago, Ausiting her intimate friends the family of Judge Wright, in Washington, Avhere she frequently met General Sherman and his brother, the distinguished Senator. The Wrights and the Shermans, as she.learned, had been next door neigh bors in childhood, and in their childhood days both fami lies AA^ere large. On one occasion the General, in his ani mated AA'ay, Avas describing to this young lady hoAV the tAvo families of children hatl been accustomed to con stantly play AAdh each other, there being a jnivate gateAvay giving communication bet.AA-een the tAvo houses. At this [)oiut the young lady jokingly remarked that she Avondered that they had not sometimes got mixed up Avhen bed-time came. "Oh,'' said the General, laughingly, in liis quick, impulsiA'e Avay, "We AAure mixed up all the time; there Avas a nightly s\A'op])ing of bed-felloAVS, and neither mother could be always sure Avhether her boys Avere sleeping at home or at her neighbor's." At another time the General confided to her the inter esting fact that he used to enjoy stealing Dominie Wright's Sunday stock of kindling-Avood, late on Satur- • day evening, on account of the supposed embarrassment that Avould result to the fiious preacher on the morrow— thus giving aAvay the secret that he had been subject to some of the weaknesses of the average boy. Professor Howe was for many years an educator of con siderable local reputation in an Iowa toAvn. Dui-ing and subsequent to the war he aaus in the habit of telling on all fitting occasions, with great pride, of his haA-ing been in former years the instructor of the Sherman children, in Lancaster, Ohio. They were, according to his story, very promising and very interesting pupils, on the whole, but 4 personal recollections of succGpn<tVu^^^"*+!^ some occasions, before be fl np'\;. coXf bi f 1^0 get . -"^ tbrasbino- iiecessaiy to give the brothers i . tractwl hii+ +1^""^ I'osistecl; the battle was fierce aa ' tlmnoii'iii . fi'^'^^'^gogue came out the con^ ' A ftAi. ^ sadly dilapidated condition, mnii Tio General of the Army, a, g ' pllin'o- o tliis story, happened to be V AV(..«+p ^ ^^ooi-al Sherman up the Hudson river to 1^+ 1 • o conversation with the General it TQ.

This was regarded as ■ ^ flimation of the truth of the aforesaid story. When . lessor Howe died at an advanced age, a few years <• j eial Sherman, a children which mailed a copy of his obituary to Gc.. - elicited this characteristic response: HEADQUAPTEHS U. S. ARAIY. Wasliiugton, D. C., April 2G, 1877. lYarring-ton Howe, Esq.: Dear Friend: I have received your letter with the newspaper slip containing the full and just tribute to your father, the late Samuel L. Howe. I regret extremely that in luy perambulations over this great country of late years I never had the chance to meet your father, which I wauled to do. And now, though forty long, eventful years luive passed since I left his school at Lancaster, Ohio, I can recall his personal appearance to mind as clearly as though it were yesterday. I have always borne willing testimony to his skill and merits as a teacher, and am sure tliat tlie thorough modes of instruction in arith metic and grammar pursued by liim prepared me for eas ^admission to West Point, and for a respectable standir in my class. I have lieard from time tO' time of th cnanges that att(mded Ids useful career, and am glad i - learn tliat. he left behind tlie flourishing academy at Alt. Pleasant, Iowa, Avitli children qualified to take up his work wliere he left it off, and cariw it to completion. I beg you will convey to your mother the assurance of my great, respect and sympathy in her affliction. I recall hei" also to memory, a young mother, living in the house of "Pap" Royle, close by tiie school house built by Air. Howe in the old orchard, and it is hard for me to realize that she is now a Avidow and a grandmother. I feel sure, general W. T. SHERMAN 5. however, that Mr. How'e has left behind him hundreds and thousands that revere his memory, and will perpetu ate it by deeds and virtues which his example and precept suggested. Truly your friend, W. T. Sherman. I have thus dwelt upon the youth and parentage of General Sherman, because, in addition to the interest which naturally attaches to that paiT of a great man's life, but little attention has been hitherto given to it, even in Ids own incomparable memoirs. The first time 1 came into personal contact with Gen eral Sherman was in September, 1S63. I was lying very ill at Corinth; and was Commander of that District. Gen eral Grant had ordered Sherman west from Memphis, to rebuild the road through to Decatur, with a view of aid ing Rosecrans in his campaign against Bragg, or at any rate to make a demonstration upon Bragg's communica tions. General Sherman brought with him an open let ter from General Grant to me. He came in and sat down by my bedside and read the letter, w^hich was very com plimentary to me and my command. The substance of the letter was that when General Sherman reached my command I was to take from it whatever troops could be spared, and accompany him in his movement to the East. After Sherman read the letter from Grant, he said: "Kow, are you w'ell enough to do what General Grant sug gests?" I said, "Yes." He said, "All right, I will give you plenty of time, and you can loifing up the rear, and I wall issue the orders." Sherman wms then Commander of the Fifteenth Army Corps, that was crossing the country fram Mempliis to Decatur. .Soon after his visit to me I receive<l the follow ing letter from him, wdiich wall show you his method of treating a subordinate who was to command one of his units: HEAD QBS. 15TH ARMY CORPS. Oct. 22d, 18G3. Gen. G. IM. Dodge, Corinth. Dear General: I thank you for the budget of news, ^\"hich is most, serviceable as we can approximate the truth. Of course here I am balked by Bear Creek, which is a worse place than was repi-esented to me. I have my three leading divisions across Bear Creek, and all hands are busy at the bridge and trestles. We have lost 8 killed and about 35 wounded, in all. Among the dead is Col. Torence, 30th lowm. I think it is • I- fc. 6 PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF well established that Lee, who came from Jackson, Clin ton and Canton with about 4,000 good ca,valry, is to my front with Body's brigade; and I think also that Wheeler's cavaliy has been driven out of Tennessee, and it is now resting between here and Decatur. If ail of this cavalry turns on me, I will have a nice time, but can't help it. And if Porter gets me up some boats to Eastport I will checkmate them. The Tennessee is in veiy fan.* boating order for four feet, and I expect daily a boat up from Cairo, also a ferry boat. I have had "the river examined well, and am more, than satisfied we cannot ford, even on the shoals. Of course I don't believe the report you sent of the cap ture of Banks and 15 regiments. Dick Taylor Avas some where west of the river, betAveen Alexander and Shreveport. That is ground fairdliar to me, and I know Dick Taylor cannot get to the east side of the Mississippi with anything like an army. After tlie capture of Vicksburg we relaxed our efforts and sub,sided. The secesh, on the contraiy, increased theirs amazingly. The rascals display an energy worthy a better cause, bad as it is, but when they come to the finish they don't fight equal to their numbers. Chalmers' dispatch is a sample. He captured the camp of the 7th Ills., off on Hatch'.s expedition, and nothing else of moment. But lie may again attempt the road, yet Hurlbut has plenty to checkmate him if he don't attempt to folloAV, but anticipates and interposes the B. B. and TaJlahatchee. I propose to finish the bridge and move on Tuscumbia, but in the end may actually cross to Ea.stport. My orders are fully comprehended in their drawing from Bosecrans the cavalry that have heretofore bothered him. I had a regiment at Eastport. A party crossed over Avho saAA- no one, bqt hear the river Avas patrolled so as to report all movements. I will fortify this place somewhat, so that if the enemy's cavalry attempt to operate against it thej^ will catch more than they bargain for. Corinth is too formidable a place for them to dream of an attack, but you should keep a couple of regiments disposable to take the offensive. I am obliged to you for all information, and will impart all positive information to you. Keep me Avell advised from day to day of Fuller's approach. I have one brigade at Burnsville, two here, and three divisions front of Bear Creek. Yours, W. T. Shennan, IMaj. Genl. .!• GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN 7 It was about October 24,1S63, tbat Sherman was given command of the Ai'my of the Tennessee, and it was the next day I received this order: HEADQUARTERS DEPT. OF THE TENNESSEE. Oct. 25, 1863. General Dodge, Corinth. I wish you to prepare to make up the best possible divi sion of troops to be taken from those nowin your own divi sion and such others as on railroad guard duty, not belong ing to any of the organized brigades of Huidbut's corps. You to command it and to accomijany the movement up the valley of the Tennessee. Our object is to secure abso lute footing up the valley of the Tennessee and the river, giving us a certain supply to Eastport now, and Florence very soon. We can risk the railroad, or use it as long as we can. Is your health equal to it? Come up and see me on the subject. Yours, * W. T. Shennan, Maj. Genl. I got on a locomotive, taking a doctor with me, and visited Sherman. On the 2Tth of October, Sherman received Grant's dispatch to drop all railway repairs east of luka and move as rapidly as possible to Chattanoo"-a. Tlie plans were then formed for cros.sing the Tennessee and I was able fi-om my knowledge of the countrv to aid Lim iu putting bis array across. 1 on all know tlie history of that rapid march to Chat- . tanooga. I do not propose to go into it in detail. I drew from my commands troops for two divisions, and Sher man organized tliem immediately into a coi-ps command. As Ave marclied along he was in the habit of writing back per^nal letters to each of us who commanded a unit, and telling us Avhere he thought we would find the best means ot leeding our commands, because we Avere living off the countiw, ouIa" transporting sugar, coffee aud bacon. V\ h(m he got into Elk River county Avith the Fifteenth Army ( orps, he wrote me back a note saying, "The Fif teenth Army Corps has cleaned up CA'crything as theA' Avent along; you had better not follow them; I do not think you Avill find a chicken in their trail, and my advice IS to push further north, say towards Pulaski or Colum bia, and let me knoAv Avhat route you take." I changed the direction of my column towards Columbia as he had sugge.stecl and reported my movements. While on this march I received the following letter: PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF HEAD QRS. AEMY OF THE TEYYESSEE. Bi-i(lgepox*t, Koy. 18tli, 1803. Dear General: Yonr letter enclosing copy of your ■ order is received. I heartily approve your order, and think it right to make citizens earn good ti'eatment. They can suppress guerrillas—I know it, and on my threat at Florence they brought in a man captured by guerillas at Gravelly Springs. Keep your infantry so that you can concentrate, and let your cavalry watch well down to the mouth of the Elk on both sides. Don't let the enemy draw any supplies from north of the Tennessee. I have been up to Chattanooga. Thei r mules and horses tell the tale of horrid i-oads and n ;e. I hate to put oui-s up in that mountain gorge. T cwo divisions have gone forward and two more follow tomorrow. I go to Chattanooga tomon'ow, and think many days cannot elapse before we bring on a fight. It is intended to act qniclv as Longstreet has gone up to East Tennessee. General Grant says that everything has been done to push the work on the Nashville and Decatur road, but work on the railroad moves slow. Write me fully and frequently, and send me all the statistical information that I may stow it away for the future. Your sketch cf your route shows Prrlaski a good place from which to operate. I will try and get some mor*e cavalry from the iioi*th." I was gi-eatly disappointed on receiving this letter, and a letter which he enclosed me from General Grant, telling me to rebuild the roads in Central Tennessee. I answered General Shermair from Pulaski on the 23d. The first sen tence of my letter let him knoAV how disappointed I was; it was as follows: "I am in receipt of your letter of Nov. ISth written at Bifidgeport, and if a fight comes off at Chattanooga and we are not in it, we will be sadly disapjrointed, but take it for granted it is for the best." After the battle of Chattanooga, I received the follow ing message: "We are all right. AVe defeated Bragg on ^Missionary Kidge and our troops are pursuing. I start at once for the head of my column. Keep your troops well in hand, and I hope soon to come to you, and we will then make all right, south and west of Decatur." After the Chatanooga campaign F5herman marched to Knoxville. As soon as Txmgstreet knew he was en route, he left. Rhennan brought back the Army of the Tennes see and scattered it from Columbia along the line of the Nashville and Decatur road, and from Athens to Bridge- ■ i ' '■ lb' ■ y 'wj.p y i- .;.- „ .,a'i.vv i V'' 3 • ' .'-Ki •: ■ ■ v''. \ A' -V ••y.V * ■ i,' ;/.t ■ • i 'f < ■ b "t ' g; '1 - . i # GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN poi-t along the line of the Memphis and Charleston road, with directions to lit up our command ready for a spring campaign; remount our cavaliy, replenish our teams; in fact gave us carte'blanche to do eveiything necessary to put our commands in good condition for the campaign Grant had in view. While we were lying there carrjdng out these orders and I was rebuilding the railroads, Shennan tookMcPherson and, with a portion of their staff, went to Vicksburg and with the troops thei'e matle the campaign tO' Merid ian, December 12, 1863, leaving Logan and myself in the Depailment of the Cumberland, without a conimander, to take care of ourselves, and tO' do the best we could; and it was while we were lying there, during that winter, that differences occruTed between Logan and Thomas, which prevented tlie appointment of Logan to the command of the Army of the Tennessee upon the death of McPherson. It all arose from simple annoyances; Logan being of an authoritative disposition, and having been with a little army that held its way and was omnipotent where it stood, could not understand why he could not send one of his own soldiers or officers over the railroads in an other General's department with his own pass, without applying to General Thomas' staff for transportntion. This brought on a conflict between Thomas and Logan, at first no bigger than your hand, but finally growing into a matter of considerable moment. When Generals Sher man and McPherson returned from their Meridian raid, ]\larch 17,1861, Sherman was appealed to bybothof these officers, and, desiring peace, used all his ingenuity to soften matters and satisfy Logan and Thomas; but neither really forgave the other for the differences that tlieu occurred. My troops having been distributed from Columbia to Decatur rebuilding that road, lirtng off the country, no doubt committed depredations, and were often reported to Thomas as a lot of ruffians, and a great many questions arose between the commanders in his department. I was busy ivbuihling the railroad and did not give them atten tion. These comiihaints reached General Thomas, who forwarded them to Grant, and General Grant put a char acteristic endorsement upon the complaints, which were very severe, upholding my troops as they had been for three mouths living off the country, as we had neither rail or water communication. ■ ■ ••' ■ . -•• it.

Sherman's first sng- gestion Avas that we should go to the theater. ATe wei*e all di'essed in our rough, campaigning clothes, in fact we , had nothing else AAuth.us, as we had not been able to get any suijplies since we left the Mississippi. That night we went to the theater, paid our way in, and obtained seats V/> in the front roAV in the balcony. The play of "Hamlet" V y J* was upon the boards. Yon all know Avhat a fine Shakespearean critic Sherman was. The play was simply being •1 butchered—to the great amusement of a theater full of ^ soldiers, who Avere either coming from leave of absence or c ^ going upon one. No one in the audience seemed to recognize us, and we sat there quite a while. Sherman, who \ was sitting next to me, talked so loudly about the play V that oA-eiwbody could hear him. He said: "Dodge, that is no way to play Hamlet!" and he went on so excitetlly that I said to him tAvo or three tmes "General, don't talk so loud, some of the boys will discoA'er ns, and thei'e Avill be a scene." But he was so indignant at the butchery of the play that he could not keep still. During the grave-dig gers' scene, where Hamlet picks up the skull of Yoricland soliloquizes upon if, a soldier in the back part of th( audience rose up and halloed out at the top of his voice, "Say, pard, what is it, Yank or Keb?" Of course, the whole house came down, and Gi-ant said, "We had better get out of here." We left, and no one kncAV that the two great soldiers of the age had. been there listening. -WiHun a day or tAvo Ave Avere sent back to our com mand^ Grant was desirous of taking some of the officers, who had served A\uth him in the west, to the eastern army. Sherman protested, desiring to have his army left intact, but Sheridan was finally selected and taken, against his protest, all the rest being left. Sherman went Avith Grant as far east as Cincinnati. During the reunion of the Army of the Tennessee at Cincinnati, in 1889, at the banquet in the Buniett House, Shei'inan pointed out to me the room Avhere Grant and he sat down with their maps and came to their agreement as to the general movement that Avas to be made in Grant's campaign in iNIay, 1864, which was to close the war. The agreement, as Sheinnan stated it to me, Avas for each to take care of the enemy in his part • ' 'i t y.' ; '"■A g'''V GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN If -1, ; '■■ ■; r of the country, and Grant was to move all of the armies at once. Both agi'eed that they would each hold the enemy in their front; that although the rebels had the in terior lines it would be the duty of each to prevent the movement of any of the enemy's forces from the front of one to the other; and we all know how well they accom plished their purpose. Grant said, to Sherman, "If Lee sends any of his troops to your front, I will send you as many men as he sends Johnston," and during the campaign Sherman often said "We must press Johnston so that under no circumstances can they detach a corps or any part of their command to reinforce Lee." After the battle of Chattanooga the government had been issuing and selling rations to the citizens of Ten nessee. When Genera] Sherman prepai-ed for his Atlanta campaign he knew that its success depended upon his ability to feed his men and animals, and he, therefore, issued Order No. S, stopping this is.sue to citizens. In a few days he received this dispatch from President Lin coln, dated May 4, 1S64: "I have an imploring appeal from the citizens, who say your Order No. 8 will compel them to go north to Nash ville. This is in no sense an oi'der, nor is it even a request that you will do anything which in the least shall be a drawback upon your military- operations, but anything you can do consistently with the appeals of these sufi'ering people I should be glad of." On May 5th General Sherman sent an answer charac teristic of the man and General: A. Lincoln, Pi-esident. We have worked hard with the best talent of the countiy, and it is demonstrated that the railroad cannot sup ply the army and the people too; one of them must quit, and the ai"my does not intend to unless Joe Johnston makes iis. The issues to citizens have been enormous, and the same weight of com and oats would have saved thou sands of mules whose carcasses now corduroy the roads, and which we need so much in war. I will not change my order, and I beg of you to be satisfied that the clamor is partly humbug and for effect. I advise you to tell the bearers of the appeal to hurry to Kentucky and make up a column of cattle and wagons and go over the moiintains on foot by Cumberland Gap and Somerset to relieve their suffering friends, as they used to before the railroad was built. Tell them thev have no time to lose. We can re- .y I PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF lieve all actual suffering by each company and regiment giving their saidngs. Every man who is willing to fight and work gets a full ration, and all who will not fight and work we offer them free passage in the cars." In April, 1861, the first intimations were sent, confiden tially, to the corps commanders for the concentration of our forces and the movement of our troops. During my command in Middle Tennessee I had raised several regi ments of colored troops, with General Sherman's approval, although he was criticised very severely for tak ing no colored troops with him. His answer to me on that criticism was: 'T propose to leave the colored troops to occupy our lines of communication where they can have the pi-otection of entrenchments, and a chance to drill; and I do not propose in this campaign that the rebels shall say that it Avas necessary for me to whip them, to take paid of their niggers to do it." So, in April, when he sent his orders, I wrote him that I proposed tO' take every Avhite soldier on my line with me,.and he, without ansAvering my letter, sent me an order to go forward with my forces, but to leave one white brigade (naming its commander) at Decatur; and in pur suance these commands commenced marching: towai'ds Chattanooga. When I Avas about half way there I received a note from General IMcPherson telling me to put my forces upon the cars and Avith my ammunition reach Chattanooga before the 5th of May, leaving my trains to folloAV by Avagon road. AVe arrived there on the morning of the 5th without tents or rations, and I imme diately repaired to General Sherman's headquarters, Avhen.' we found our army commander. General McPherson. Availing for us. I remember tbat at the breakfast table at the hotel I was greatly surprised tO' find the knives and forks chained to the table, and concluded that the reputation of Sherman's bummers had pi*eceded us. Slierman had OAudentlyhad a consultation with the army commanders before I arrived, because he said to McPherson: "I think I had better read Dodge these dispatches," and then he sat cloAvn and read those celebrated dis patches that passed between Grant and himself from May 1st to 5th, which you have all seen published. When he had finished he said "Noav, Dodge, you see what you have to do. Where are your troops?" I said: "They are un loading." He said to AlcPherson: "I think you had bet ter send Dodge to take Ship's Gap tonight.'' McPherson said: "AA'hy General, that is thirty miles away." Sher- • '. V O." i' . ' ■ '''/ -Ai' .i'i''. . . . . ' ■. '••'A "'v.'"'", ' I ■ .. 1 '•At GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN 13^ man said: "No matter, let Mm tiy it." I asked for a gmde, and McPherson said if tkey could find one they Avonld send him to me. Shei-man gaA^e me a map with the road and gap, Icnown as Ship's Gap, in the first range of mountains, marked, that I was to capture, and that night about midnight General Sprague, commanding a brigade of Veatch's dlA ision of the IGth army corps, reached the summit of the gap, and made the first opening through tliat range of mountains. Tliis enabled us to pass thi'ough Snake Creek Gap before the enemy discoA^ered the moA-ement to their rear. To my own siniDrise and to the surpri.se of everybody else, Ave pn.shed through that long narroAA" gorge before midnight of the Stli, one day ahead of the time fixed, Avhere one regiment of caA'alry properly jmsted could have held us and forced a battle. Johnston's troops did not attack ns until the morning of the 9th, so that the first plans of Sherman, as he has said to me, were so successful and so satisfactoiw that he thought the Army of the Tennessee should have planted itself across the railroad near Resaca in the rear of Johnston, which would liave forced hini to^ abaudou his trains and fight us, or make a long detour to the east. That question has been fought over in the papers, and by the different ofliccrs, bvff. Sherman, up to the time of his death, always felt ami claimed that if the fifteeu thousand men Ave had Avith us had been planted and intrenched squarely iu front of llesaca it Avould haA-e broken uj) Johnston's army. I Avas too young an officer then to discuss these matters, but sim]»ly obeyed my orders, and I do not propose at this day to ciiticise the actions of General ^IcPherson, or to pass judgment ui)on the oi)inion of Sherman, because it can df» no good. There is no question that there was never a braver or more loved and trusted General in our army than ^IcPherson, and if he made a mistake, there is no ]>erson in or out of the army that does not know that he made it in the interest of what he considered to be his duty, and I claim that no one can noAV criticise him for it, for Sherman after it Avas all over, never did. Our rapid moA-emcut surprised Johnston, and accomplished the principal object of the movement, to his rear, forcing him out of his impregnable position at Dalton, and driving him south f)f the Ostanaula river. During the march from Chattanooga to Atlanta we Avere very short of all kinds of provisions, canned fruits. A'egetables, etc. We lived off bread, beans and bacon. I had been suffering during the whole of the campaign, 14 PEKSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF was rail down a good deal pliysically, and I tliouglit if I could get a change of food it would help keep me up. I went over to General Sherman's headquarters and asked him to allow me to send by Lieutenant Bailey (who had been detailed from my command in charge of the mails running from Nashville to the fronts), to bring me down some dried fruits and vegetables. I told Sherman that I was running down; that I had a very bad wound in the side, and it seemed impossible to keep it from sapping away my strength. Sherman looked at me and said: "Dodge, all you want is some good whiskey," and took me to his tent. Good or bad whiskey just then was entirely different to me from what it is now, but, of course, I sub mitted. I urged my necessities upon the General, but he said it was impossible to allow me to bring foi-ward any thing; that if he did it for one he would have to do it for others; and I went away a good deal disappointed, which Sherman saw. There was no way to get anything with out his permission. It was not more than a day or so after that that Golonel Dayton, his Adjutant, happened to be at my headquarters, and asked one of the staff officers if I had sent to Nashville for anything. The staff officer informed him that I had applied and could not get permis sion, and that under the circumstances I would not send. Dayton told the staff officer if they could get it through by Bailey to do so, that General Sherman, he knew, would not object, but, says he, "Yoii don't want to say Anything to Dodge," and the first thing I knew there came to my headquarters a box of supplies. It was a long time after wards before I knew how they had been brought there. It is the only case in my experience where Sherman relaxed one of his orders. The histoi'y of the Atlanta campaign has been written; nothing I can say about it can add to or take from it. It is the unwritten instances that I propose to talk about. I had a corps command all the way from Corinth, IMiss., to IMarictta, Ga., with only the rank of a Brigadier General. Probablv there was never a greater effort made by Grant and SheiTuan to give me a rank suitable to my command, and avoid unpleasant complications, and as we marched doAvn to Kenesaw, I was in command of that portion in the field of the Ifith army corps of the Army of the Ten nessee, with officers of much higher rank holding lesser commands. This brought upon me many remarks that my staff would hear and repeat to me, and was annoying and made me uncomfortable. I sat down and wrote to GHNBRAL W. T. SHERMAN G ciieral Shermaji explaining to him fully that these critiyms had come to me, and that they made me feel very ihomfortable, that my staff were always talking about g rumor stating that this officer and that officer was ling to relieve me, and I said to Sherman that I thought T'had better give me a command fitted to^ my rank, and llieve me and him. He put this endorsement upon the Iper: "Suppose you wait until some one that has a right » complain does so; and go ahead and do your duty, and bt trouble yourself about others' business. W. T. Sheri.an." He did not even sign it officially. He never ^fen-ed to it during the war, but afterwards poked a ood deal of fun at me for my foolish action. He soon fter sent me a telegraphic dispatch that came from the Resident telling him that he had relieved him from his 8'fficulties about Dodge. My commission reached me, id I donned my two stars. gShennan always sustained his officers who assumed beat authority in an emergency, although they might ; Avrong. As an instance I give you the following: h Before General Slxerman crossed the Chattahoochee for I'/s attack upon Atlanta, his army was stretched from ffiap Creek to Sandtown Feinw, facing the, river. Mv t)rps, the IGth, Avas upon tlie extreme right, and I tiought the crossing Avas to be by the right flank as .it *^as so much nearer to Atlanta, and my orders were to ri'ze all feiTV boats and other means of crossing. Gen- «^Ul Sherman came to my headquarters, took out his map, Iji.d asked hoAV long it would take me to construct a l^ffdge across the river at Roswell some forty miles away yond our extreme left,telling me it was rock bottoman'd PUild be forded, and that there wa,s a road bridge at that T'Aint Avhich the Confederates had destroyed. I supposed j Ayould have to go into the woods and cut the timber, and Mid him it would require at least a week. He had not 'xH-n gone more than an hour Avhen I received orders from General McPherson to move to Roswell, and that General Sherman would communicate directly with me. The march Avas a hot, diTSty one, in the rear of the army, but T did not halt, except for our meals, and an occasional home's rest. I received at Marietta a dispatch from Sher man ur.ging me to get there as soon as possible. On arriving, I immediately put a brigade across the river, and it was as fine a sight as I ever saw when Fuller's Ohio brigade, in line of battle, forded the river. The enemy's cavalry held the other side.

SHERMAN You will perceive it is. verj- diplomatic; he says aothing in relation to international law, or the French Hag, but ends Ids letter by telling lue that I may destroy all Georgia to accomplish what I am sent to do. Of course I read between the lines, and paid no further attention to the French flag. After the war great claims were made, and u'e were censured by the Government, which I have no doubt paid roumlly for the factories. On July 12, just three days after I amved there, I noti fied General !Slierman that the biddge was completed, and the iU'my commenced crossing on the final movement to -•Vtlanta. t^herman was greatly surprised, as it had been represented to him by officers he had sent there that it would ]-equire a much longer time to erect the bridge. Jly official report read as follows: "A foot bridge 710 feet long was thrown across the river, and from ilonday noon, July 10, until Wednesday night, July 12, a good, substantial, double track, trestle road bridge, 710 feet long and 14 feet high, Avas built by tlie ])ioneer corps from the command." ^ As the 15th, Logan's corps, Avas crossing the bridge, there came u]) a terrific thunder storm, and several of the men av( re knocked doAvn Avhile on the bridge, and a bolt struck in the midst of ^Murray's regulai' battery of the Kith cor])s, Avhich Avas holding the bridge head across the river, kiiling and Avounding several men. Naturally the su])erstition of the soldiers Avas aroused and all kinds of misfortunes Avere predicted, and snn^ enough in the next engagement on the 22d of July, at the battle of Atlanta, tin' battery Avas ca])tured Avhile going.from Blam's front to mine by the same skirmish line of Clebttrne's diA'ision that killed General McPherson on the road leading from my light to Blair's left. In fact, he fell right at the foot of one of the guns that had been cai)tured. The moment our army crossed the biidge our moA'ement ui)on Atlanta commenced. It Avas the Ifith or 2()th of July when one of the scouts, a boy of the 2nd loAA-a Infan try, Avho had been sent into the enemy's lines a long time before, came out to m.v lines and brought the morning ))aper and the ncAvs of the change of commanders from General Johnston to General Hood. I took him over to the road upon Avhich Sherman Avas marching, lie Avas with General Schofield's columir. Sherman and Schofleld, and someone else, Avhom I cannot remember, discussed the neAvs, and I remember distinctlv Schofleld giving his oiiinion of Hood—that it meant fight. While I stood There ■ i :.y PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF listening and watching, Genei.il Sherman sat down upon a stump and issued his ordei's that concentrated his armies and brought ^McPherson from Stone Mountain, some twenty miles away, and closed ns all in on Thomas, showing he fully comprehended the situation. Soon after. Hood nith his arjiiy attacked Thomas, intending to double him up from light to left, knowing how greatly ex tended Sherman's forces were. After the battle of the 20th we closed in around Atlanta. The concentration of the lines threw the 16th army corps in reserve, and a bri gade of it was sent to the left of the army and encamped behind the 17th coi-ps, and another brigade, Spragne s, Avas left at Decatnr to protect the trains. That night there was a belief that Hood would evacuate Atlanta^; in the moniing it was reported that he had done so, m fact I received from the extreme left where one of my brigades lay, reports to that effect' from General Fuller. Later in the morning McPherson ca.me to see me, as he was in the habit of doing; if there Avas any movement on hand he would come and tell ns what he expected, and if not, he Avoiild ha.A'e a kind, encouraging word for us, or a comp iment for Avhat had been done the day before. He aa .is a man avIio issued veiw feAv orders on tiie field, aiul m i respect he Avas a good deal like Grant, AA'ho pointi i ^ on - Avhat Avas to be done, and expected you - dO' it, without entering into details, but left us a i . to do whatever was considered best in the changes light or the movements of the troops, r,.iiiit accomplish Avhat he had told us was his objec „ jMcPhei'son Avas the same way, and when a moA em '; on i)jihand, Jiaim,iM- orAvhen wiit'ii the Liicarmy iiriiiv lay m.* in front of ti -, ciiftino* ,. lAicFiierson.

MePherson received the orders after aivina me my orders, and did not send them to me, and it Avas Avhile pursuing iMcPherson's order to move to the left tliat at 12 o'clock on the 22d nearly all of Hood's army got to our rear and made that tendtic attack upon us, and after ti"'hting from noon until midnight A\'as defeated at all points. There is probably nothing in all Sherman's military career that he criticised more seA erely to himself and to his confidential friends than the fact that A\'hen this great battle AA'as going on at the left, AA'herethousands of men Avere being nioAA'ed doAAm, Avhere the loar of mus ketry lasted from tA\'elA"e at noon until midnight, he did not force the Army of the Cumberland and Ohio, over 50 000 strong, AAdiich stood intact that da.A', not firing a' •^nn, into Atlanta and take it, for there AA'as nothing in Atlanta except Geogia militia and teamsters. Sherman's statement is that he' requested General Thomas to attack Atlanta, and if possible go into it. He told him a great battle AA'as going on to the left, because it is Avell knoAvn to eA'eiy one in an army that one Aving, Avhen the AA'ind is in the opposite direction, may light a great battle, while the other-Aving miles away could only know of it by rumor. Thomas felt the enemy, and seeing the works held l>y the militia, ansAA'ered that Hood'sarmy AA'as in Atlanta, that the Avorks Avere fully manned, and it AAas not pos sible for it to be successfully attacked in his front. So all day long that little Army of the Tennessee, that was neA'i'i" knoAA'u to g"iA'e back one inch, fought and struggled and held its oAvn against double its numbers, thinking and believing that morning Avould sIioaa' Atlanta as theirs, for they knew that the Avhole of Hood's army was upon them. At 2 o'clock in the dav ^MePherson fell. I had no knowl edge of his death, although he Avas killcHl near my line, until I receiA'ed AA'ord from General h uller whom I had instructed to change front to his right and clean out the enemy between him and the lith corps, that he had cap tured the skirmish line of the enemy and taken from them General HcPherson's field glasses and orders of Sherman to l\rcPhorson, and he felt that something had happened to IMcPherson. The first neAvs I received Avas that MePher son had been wounded, not killed, and it was 4 o clock in the afternoon Avhen Logan came to me asking for help to retake the line on the Augusta road, where the enemy had .XNS r I / 11 i PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF broken tbrongb and captnred DeGraw's battery, I gave biin Mersey's brigade, bnt even 1 hen be did not tell me he "'as in command of the army, lie came to me as vre were . +i.n T><in;e dnino- loonn.

I had never imd General IIoAvard, and Avhile I kncAv him to be an experi enced and good .'-oldier, it made no dilTerence in my feel ings; and I think after HoAvard eonimanded that army and plaee(l it in battle, felt its pnlse and saAV Avhat it Avas, he Avonld have felt jnst as Ave did. On the march from the left to the extreme right I saw Gemu-al Sin rinan at a log house. General Logan Avas sitting on theqiorch; he hardly recognized im^ as I AAalked in, and I saAV a great (hange in him. I asked Gemu-al Sherman Avhat the change in commamb rs meant, Avhy Logan Avas not left in command. As e\'eryone knoAvs, Logan's imhqiemlence and criticisms in the army Avere A'ery scA'cre, bnt they all kncAA' AA'hat he AA'as in a tight, and AvheneAer Ave sent to Logan for aid he Avonld not only send his forces, but come himself; so, as Blair said, Ave onlv kneAV Logan as Ave saAV him in 22 personal recollections of Logan could hear every vorcl that was said between Sherman and myself. Sherman did not feel at liberty to say anything in explanation of this change. He simply put me off very firmly but as nicely as he could, and spoke highly of General Howard, who had been given the com mand. I went away from the place without any satisfac tion, and when I met Logan on the outside I expressed to him my regrets, and I said to him: "There is something here that none of us understand," and he said: "It makes no difference; it vfill all come right in the end." The first meeting I had with General Howard was on that morn ing, and I wish to say that while I remained with him and ever since the war, there has been no one that was kinder to me, or who has said kinder things. I am soriw it was not my fortune to have been able to follOAV liim through to Washington. During-the battles around Atlanta, and after Ave had gone from the left to the right, it was my misfortune to be given a Confederate leave., I was supposed to be fatally woundrtl. The doctor reported to Sherman, and he, desir ing to keep the news from my family, instructed every telegi-aph operator to send only his dispatches, but in doing this he forgot that there was nothing that could occur but what went over the Avires immediately. So the news I'eached my people that I had been fatally wounded. Dis])atches came to my staff, ti-ying to obtain the facts, but they could not I'eply because of Sherman's orders. In talking about it afterAA'ards he said: "I acted from my instincts. I simply Avished to send the truth, but I only succeeded iu making trouble, and that has ahvays h.apI>ened to me when I tried to be extra cautious; I always put my foot in it; some smart Aleck gets ahead of me." As soon as Sherman heard I Avas Avounded he came to my tent Avith Dr. Kidd, his chief surgeon, and found a sur geon of my OAvn corps in charge of me. As soon as the shock of the wound passed aAvay I gradually became conscicms as to heai-iug, but not as to seeing, and the first words I heard were when Sherman turned on Dr. Kidd and said: "Kidd, Dodge is not going to die. See, he is coming to all right." You can imagine what my feelings Avere on hearing talk of that kind from Sheimian. I recog nized his voice, and also the fact that probably I Avas badly huiff. The doctors adAused Sherman to send me North, but Sherman said: "No, Ave can keep Dodge two weeks, and then he Avill be all right; we Avant him Avith his corps." I considered the fact, that he would not let me GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN go to the rear until he was forced to swing ai'oimd south of Atlanta, and abandon everything to the north, one of the greatest compliments he ever paid me. I was taken to Greenville, Ind., to a relative, for a rest before I was sent to my own home in Iowa. The first or second evening after I arrived in Greenville, as I la.y upon my cot, I listeiied to the demonstrations being made, by the retum of the delegates who had been to Chicago' and nominated McClellan. I was astonished and indignant to hear cheer after cheer given at the station for Jefferson Davis. I could hardly realize that I was in a northern state, not having been North before since the beginning of the war. I now realized what was meant by the term "Copperhead" and "Fire in the Itear." As soon as I .was able, I sat down and wrote this to Sherman. It was some time aftemmrds when I received his answer, which is too characteristic to publish, but it said "We will settle with those fellows after we get through down here." It was on the first of September that I parted with the Army of the Tennessee. During my convalescence I vis ited General Grant and that magnificent Army of the Potomac at City Point. As soon as able, I had orders to proceed to Vicksburg, and it was the intention while Sherman marched to Savannah that 1 shonld take a colnmn from somewhere in that country and get to the rear of Mobile, but at Cairo I received dispatches from General Grant to repair to St. Louis, and there I fell tO' the com mand of the Depariment of the Missouri, relieving Gen eral Kosecrans. The first order I received came fi'om Stanton; it was a complimentarjr message from Grant, telling me I mnst send everything I could to help Thomas at NasliA'ille, and I sent out of that Department every organ ized force. When the battle of Nashville was fought I hatl not an organized regiment in my Department. I found General Sherman's family in St. Louis, and, naturally, coming from an old commander like him, it was my pleasure to do anything and everything I could for his"^ family. Mrs. Shermau Avas trying to soften the hardships of war by getting people out of prison, and by relieving their necessities. There had been a gi'eat many arrests made. I found the prisons full and commenced emptying them, with the idea that it Avas a great deal cheaper to let these people talk than to feed them, but I got one or two seA'ere repimands for so doing. I knoAA'' that iNIrs. Sherman wrote to the General and told him what I was doing, and hoAV kind I Avas to her, and how I , V<" * i> ' .. '''r i . . . PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF carried out auy requests sLe made so far as it Avas pos sible for me to do so; and Sbermau, still looking after my interests as be had ayways done, Avrote me a letter and said: "You must not issue these orders and release these people simply becanse ^Irs. fciherman requests you to do so. You must use your oaaui judgment in this matter, and only issue orders Avhere you knoAV it is ab solutely right." He said it in a kindlj^ way, and he said a great manj- other things in his letter to me about my policy. He also said: "I appreciate fully Avhat you are doing, and Avhy you do it, but, my dear Cj'eneral, you knoAv yon must still cling to a. soldier's duty." AYhile I Avas in command of that Department Li e and Johnston surrendered. I had received an order from Secretai-y Stanton instructing me to pay no attention to the Sherman and Johnston parole. During this excitement a dinner A\-as given at the Lindell Hotel that brought together the loyal people of St. Louis, to A\'hich I Avas invited as commander of that Department. I Avas aston ished to hear Union people get up and denounce Sherman, criticizing not only his acts but his motiAO s. I listened as long as I could to these excitable speakers, and fiually got up and stated that t had served near and under Sherman for tAvo years, and Avhile I kiieAV nothing at all about the terms of surrender of Johnston except the ordeis 1 had received from the Government—neveidludess I did not lu'opose to sit at any dinner table, or any assembly of any kind, Avhere the loyalty of Sherman Avas questioned; that AvhateA'er he had done, Avhether right or Avrong, had been done by a soldier Avho liad but one thing at heart, his dutA* to his country and the destruction of the rebel army. It Avas not A'erA" long after this before my AA'ords reached Sherman. They bi ought back the kind of resymnse that he made in such cases; aud it Avas only a short time after this until Sherman himself ayiyreared at his home in St. Louis, the AA'ar being virtually over, and being an old resi dent of that city, it Avas natural Avheii he arrived that the yreojde shonld seize u])on him and y)ay him great attention, take him out to dinners, etc. A great many of his old friends AV(n'e I'ebels, and I suyiyrose they sarv in his terms to Johnston an oy)])ortnnity to break the force of the Union sentiment against them, for there Avas no place in the Avlnde United States Avhere the bitterness of the Union and l{(d)el sentiment Avas so ayjyiarent as it Avas in the State of iNIissonri. It keyrt. the State in dissensions duiing the entire Avar. The attentions of the symyrathizers GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN with the rebellion to Sherman were very marked, so much so that some of the Union people called upon me and talked to me about it, and when Sherman came down to my headquarters, as he did daily, I spoke to him about it, and told him how they were talking and how they felt. He said: "They are going to give me a dinner here in a few days, and General, don't you worry, I will settle that question there." He made a remarkable speech at that dinner. He said that since the war was over he did not feel that it was necessary for him to refuse any attentions, no matter from whom they came, but when it came to the question between loyal men and rebels every one knew where his heart was, and everyone knew what his thoughts were; that it was only the clemency of the gov ernment saved them from receiving their just dues long before this time. We never heard any more in that coun try as to Sherman's position, and no one after that misun derstood him. At this banquet given in his honor at the l.imlell Hotel, St. Louis, July 20, 18G5, Sherman in the course of his speech said: "You cannot attain gxeat suc cess in war without great risks. I admit Ave violated many of the old established rules of.Avar by cutting loose from our base and exposing sixty thousand liA'es, but Avhen a thing has got to be done it has got to be done. I had faith in the army I commanded; that faith Avas Avell founded. But there v/as the old story exemplified. We liad the ele phant, and it troubled us to know Avhat to do Avith that elephant, and again we had to put our Avits together and We concluded to kill the elephant. We did not like to do it. I come noAv to a piece of military historj' which has been more discussed tlian any other. I contended at first, when Ave to<ik Vicksburg, that Ave had gaiueil a point which the Southern Gonfederacy, a.s belligerents^—so rec ognized by ourselves and the Avorld—Avere bound to regard. That when Ave took Vicksburg, by all the rules of civilized warfare they should have surrendered and allowed us to restore Federal jioAver in the land. Hut they did not. I claim also that, when Ave took Atlanta, they Aver(» bound by eveiw rule of civilized Avarfare to suiTender their cause. It Avas then hopeless, and it Avas clear to me as daylight that they Avere bound to surrender a.nd return to civil life. Hut they continued the Avar, and then I had a right under the rules of civilized warfare to commence a system that Avould make them feel the power of the Gov ernment, and cause them to succumb to our national authority. I have again and again proffered kindness 26 P kbONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF towards the people of the South, and I have manifested it on thousands of occasions. I lived among them and received generous hospitality; but at the same time if their minds are not balanced so as tO' reason aright, we have the right to apply the rod. So Ave destroyed Atlanta, and all that could be used against us there will have to be rebuilt. The question then arose in my mind how to api^ly the power thus entrusted by my GoAmrnment so as to produce the result—the end of the war, which was all Ave desired; for war is only justifiable aniong ciAulized nations to j)roduce peace. There is no other legitimate rule—except to produce peace. This is the object of war, and it is so universally acknowledged. Therefore, I had to go through Georgia, and let them see what war meant. I had the right to destroy their communications, which I did. I made them feel the consequences of war, so they Avill never again invite an invading army. Savannah fell, as a matter of course. Once in our jJO-Arer, the question then arose again, 'What next?' All asked, 'what next?- I never received ray orders from anybodv. I had nobodv to look to but my own brain. I asked advice aqain and again, Vmt I got mighty little, I can tell you, except from riraut, who is ahvays generous aud fair." No advice—no ' A\ ord at Savannah, saA'e from Mr. Lincoln, who asked Avliat next? I told him I Avould tell him after awhile. ""I'lipn came that last movement, which I do contend involved more labor and risk than anything which I haA-e done, or ever expect to do again. I could take Chaadeston AMthout going there.

I '.jr. t l GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN 27 of a victory—bloodless, but still it produced military results. The next question Avas to i)lace my army still further Avhere I could be in communication with the old aimj- of the Potomac—where Ave could destroy the life of the Confederate aimies, for it seemed at one time as though they were determined to fight to the 'last ditch.' "So A\"e AA^ent to Goldsboro, and then I hastened to see Mr. Lincoln and Grant for the last time. We talked the matter over and agreed perfectly. Grant was moving then. I had been fifty odd marching days on light rations. My men were shoeless and Avithout pants, and needed clothing and rest. I hurried back to Goldsboro, and dispatched everything with as great rapidity as I could, and on the very day I appointed I started in pur suit of Johnston, let him be Avhere he might. Now under stand that in this vast campaign Ave had no objective point on the map; all we had to do was to pursue the Con federate armies Avherever they might go and destroy them Avhenever we could catch them. The great difficulty was to bring them to bay. You can chase and chase a hare until the end of time but unless you bring him to bay you cannot catch him. Grant Avas enabled to bring Lee to bay by means of Sheridan's cavalry. I did not have sufficient cavaliy; if I had, I might haAe brought Johnston to bay; but A\-ith my then force I could not, because my cavalrv Avas inferior to his in numbers. Thex*efore, Avhen Lee sur rendered, Johnston saw as clearly as I had seen months before, that his cause was gone. I had been thinking of it for months; therefore, when he met nie and announced the fact that he Avas 'gone up,' I was prepared to receive it. It was just like a familiar song. It seemed to the North a neAV thing. ATe ha.d expected it, and Avhen they gave up there Avas an end of it, as we supposed. How did they give up, Avas the question; gave up, that was all. No use in fighting any longer. On what terms did they give up? I liaA'e describecl sufficiently clear in my official report all the conversation that took place, and all I will say is that tlie North seemed to be taken unawares, although eveiy paper in the land and every county court orator had preached about peace for the last four yearsyet when it came they did not recognize it. All I claim is that I was prepared for it from the start. The moment Johnston spoke to me I saw peace at once, and I was honest enough to say so, but the world was startled by it. 'f^herman had turned traitor and Jeff Davis had bought him up with Confederate gold.' I rather think he would '. ^ • I" "V .y ■ ■ ■V' * »» ' 28 PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF have found it a pretty hard job toi have bought me up. Poor Davis! I know he never had gold enough to buy me,, although I won't mention my price. But all that is now ])ast and I am satisfied in my heart that we have peace. I am satisfied that by the combined armies and navies, and the citizens of the North, and many of the South, that now we have peace in the land, and what is tbe conse quence? It is simply one stage anew in our history. We have had wars heretofoi'e. Did Ave cut the throats of our enemies? Certainly not; like sensible men, Avhen the war Avas OAmr we went to work to recover what we had lost by the Avar, and entered on a neAV stage." During the year 18(55 and the spring of IjGG it fell to my lot to make the Indian campaign over th ' plains, and to" kill a few Indians, and among them a feAA; squaAA^s and children—when there was a general outciw raised all over the United States, and through the Peace Commissionei's the Avhole Indian policy Avas changed from war tO' treaties of peace; and, being desirous of retiring from the army, Sherman knoAving all my plans, I wrote him in AiAril, ISGG, a personal letter, asking for a leaA'e of absence, niA' resignation not having been accepted. I have no copy of my letter to^ him, but he uuderstood the matter fully, for we had discussed it together, aud in answer to that letter [ received the folloAving: "IIEADtjUABTEBS IIILITABY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI. Major-General Dodge. Dear (^leneral: I Have your letter kpril 27th, and T readily consent to Avhat you ask.

Hoping to meet you soon. 1 am. Yours timlc, W. T. Sherman, M. G." Gtmeral Sherman in his memoirs states that in the year 18-1!) he Avas sent by General Smith vp tO' Sacramento GENERAL T. SHERMAN City to instruct Lieutenants Warner and Williamson, of tlie Engineers, to j)nsli their sun'eys of tlie SieiTa Nevada ^Mountains, for the purpose of ascertaining the possibility of passing that range by a I'ailroad, a subject that th^n elicited universal interest. It Avas generally assumed that such a road could not be made along any of the immigrant roads then in use, and Warner's orders were to look further North up the Feather lliver, or some of its tributaries. Warner Avas engaged in this survey dur ing the summer and fall of 1849, and had explored to the very end of Goose Lake, the source of Feather Elver, Avhen this oflicer's career Avas terminated by death in bat tle Avith the Indians. General Sherman Avas too modest to add, as was the fact, that those instructions Avere sent at his OAvn suggestion; that that Avas the first exploring ])arty ever sent into the field for the special purpose of ascertaining the feasibility of constructing a railAA^ay on a ijortion of the line of the trans-continental routes; and that the exploration preceded by at least four years the Act of Congress making appropriations "for explorations and suiweys for a railroad route from the Mississippi Elver to the Pacific Ocean." On January G, 1859, General Sherman addressed a let ter lo Hon. J(din Sherman, M.C., and made public through the "National Intelligence." It is one of the most remark able and instructive shori, papers to be found in theliterature of trans-continental raihvay construction. He gave many Aveighty reasons Avhy a raihvay to the Pacific should be built, but thought it could not be done unless done by the nation. "It is-a Avork of giants," he sententiously declares, "and I'ncle Sam is the only giant I knoAV Avho can or should grapple the subject." That paper alone, in the light of later events, Avonld stamp its author as a far-seeing statesman and an enlightened engineer. He said: "It so ha])pens that for the ]>ast ten years the Sieri-a Nevada has been crossed at every possible point by miners in search of gold, by emigrants going and com ing. and by skillful and scientific men. I, myself, have been along a great y)art of that range^, and have nO' hesi tation in saying that thei-e are no passes by which a railAvay to be travelled by the most poAverful locomotion now in use can be carried through tlie Sien-a Nevada, unless at the extreme head of the Hacramento, near the town of Shasta or Fort. Eeading, or at the extreme head of the San Joaqnin, near the Tajon." ✓ '.s PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF And now I wish to say that if there are any twO' men in the United States who were entitled to the credit of enabling us to- construct the Union Pacific liailway, out side of those who put their money in it, and made it a suc cess, those two men were Generals U. S. Grant and W. T. Sherman. I undertake to say that had it not been for the personal, active and always liberal co-operation of the armies under their direction, the people who built that road and faced its difficulties would have somewhere been stopped. During all the time of construction of the Union Pacific either Grant or Sherman gave orders that anything Gen eral Dodge asked for should be given to him, because he knows under the regulations what he is entitled to. I made some requests upon military commanders that were unusual, and I said to the commanders; "I want you to obey this, and I will i)rotect you." When the offi cial reports of what had been done reached Sherman, he wrote me a kindly letter, but he said to me, "Don't forget not onlv what your duties are to the Union Pacific, but also what you/conscience tells you is right towards the United States in such circumstances, and what we can annrove." 11 Of course, it was a nice, / quiet, j, gentle reminder -I X that they trusted me, and I had gone a little beyond what they considered was fair to their trust. General Sherman came up to look at the first section of the road examined after I took 'harge of the line. If von go back and read the records you will see he was present. Major Bent, a gentlemai who is now at the head of one of the greatest industries in this country, was assigned to the duty of taking care of the people who examined the road. General Sherman said to him: Every time they buihl a section here I will be on hand to look at it and see lhat it is properly built." Bent wagered with General Slicrman a basket of champagne that he would not do it. Sherman's headquarters were in St Louis and we were building and examining about thirty mnes'oTroad a month. This would have brought lum to examine the road about once every month so^that aft(u' we had built about one hundred miles of load he wrote to me and said: "I am not going tO' come up theie any longer; I am ready to pay my bet." One e^^ning only a short time before he died, at the Union +n mp.- "T vdsli DofUe, that you would get Bent down to ?s>w York, and I will pay tint basket tliam- Siagne that I owe him." As the road progressed, as you GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN all know, there was hardly a mile that "was not built under the protection of the United States forces. EveiT^ engineer that made its suiweys had to be protected against the Indians. You also know that the men when they started to their work in the morning stacked their muskets by their work, ready to fall in at any moment in case they were attacked by Indians, and I have often known them to fall in and defend their camp. Every year while we were building this road Sherman went ovec it, and I reported to him just as regularly as I did to my superior officers, telling him what I was doing and asldng his advice. He saw through the papers that there was a question between myself as Chief Engineer and ]Mr. T. C. Hurant, the chief contractor, as to the lines, and that Mr. Durant had declared against the lines that the engineers of the road had said were the true lines in a commercial and engineering point of vieAV, and that I had sent word to the company that if the lines were not sustained I would have to resign. • I was in Utah at the time ancl received a dispatch from Durant dated at Laramie, to return there immediately to meet Generals Grant and Sherman. I immediately took the stage and started for Laramie. When Durant received my absolute refusal to accept the lines they had adopted, he wired to Sherman, and Sherman to Grant, and both came to Laramie, thousands of miles, showing their interest in the subject. They protested against Durant's action, and when I stepped off the stage Durant said to me; "General, I want you to withdraw your dis patch; the lines you want you may have. I am convinced that you are right." There I met Grant and Sheinnan, and w<mt oAm* ovith them the whole possibilities of the Union Pacific line, and told them that in my own opinion during the year 1809, Avith no untoAvard events, we would have the conni'ction. They discussed its probabilities and possibilities, and said then and there to me: "If that is your plan, General, Avhatever you Avant you may have," and they so instructed the commander of that Department, and Avhat I asked for I received. I have only time to read three letters of the many Gen eral Sherman wrote me on this subject, showiug liis grasp of the whole problem. "St. Louis, Jan. 5, ISGT. My Dear General Dodge: At NeAv Orleans I received your welcome letter from Noaa' York, and I assure you, on its faith, I boa.sted not a little of the vast energy of our countrA inen; "03 miles of the railroad finished in one >■ •. r *"1*1^ ..rvrT*: 32 PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF year is a feat that may well be boasted of. I assure you of my hearty congratulations, and that the greater prob lem of the railroad seems to be solving itself verj ast. You are exactly right in making your location inde pendent of local influence. When I was at Denver and saw the lay of the land, I felt certain that you would locate north of that city, and said so, incidentally, but some felloAv got hold of it and pitched into me. As it was none of my Ijusiness, I held my tongue and counsel, but now the people there will see that though Denver is some, still it is not enough, to direct from its course the Great National HighAvay. I also learn with pleasure that your Eastern connection is done within tAventy-two miles, and I have ordered all troops and stores for the Department of the Platte to go via Chicago, Clinton and Omaha. The loss of Col. Fetterraan's command up at Phil Kear ney may disturb your people; but don't let it, for we shall persevere and push that road to Virginia City, and it Avill divert the attention of the hostile Sioux from your road. The point where yoAi cross the North Platte and Fort Laramie will become great military points, and you should make arrangements with cars to land there our troops and stores. I take it for granted that yon get along well with Cooke, and his Quart erinaster, Myers. I Avould like to knoAv hoAv far this side of old Camp Walbach you propose to leave the Lodge Pole. It looked to me as if you could take the divide some ten miles this side, and get up some 700 or 800 feet before you reach the Black Hills. I remember Avell the diflicuty in California. Our first locations clung to the valleys for some thirty miles out of Sacramento, and then it Avas too late to rise the mountains. Whereas now, the I'oad begins to rise at once on leaving Sacramento, so that they get up near two thousand feet before they strike the mountains. I sup pose your location descends into the Laramie Plains not Lar from WilloAV Springs Station, tAvelve miles southeast, of the neAv Foi't Stevens (.John Buford). The coming year, for better or worse,is to be an imirortant one to our couni ry, and if you could, by superhuman energy, reach the foot of the mountains near Walbach, it would be a great achievement. That Avill be the military point for the road. North and South from that point are good by reason of the nearness of the Avood, the abundant grass and w.ater, and A'alleys that afford good roadways for traveling. I will do my utmost that Gen. Cooke have force enough to cover your paidies absolutely, which Avill be easy from the forks of the Platte westward. ' |,*V ■ ■•c 1'.. j; ., ' - ; ■ ■ ',0 o / 9 9 ^/W{> GENERAL W. T.

I have just read Avith intense interest your letter of the 14th, and though you wanted it kept to myself I believe you will sanction my sending it to General Grant for his individual perusal, to be returned to me. It is almost a miracle to grasp your proposition to finish to Foi't Sanders this year, but you have done so much that I mistrust my oavu judgment and accept yours. I regard this road of yours as the solution of the Indian affairs, and of the jMormon question, and therefore give you all that I possibly can; but the demand for soldiers everywhere, and the sloAvness of enlistment, especially among the blacks, limits our ability to respond. Natur ally each officer exaggerates his oavu troubles, ami appeals for men; thus Ord is greatly exercised lest the blacks and Avhites commence a. war of race, and would have four or five regiments scattered over the whole state of Arkansas to preA^ent local tr'ouble. I want to punish and subdue the Indians, Avho are the enemies of our race and prog ress, but even in that it is well sometimes to proceed with due deliberation. I have now General Terry on the Upper ^Missouri, General Auger witli you, and General Hancock just beloAv, all young, enterprising men, fit for counsel or the field. I Avill endeavor to arrange so that hereafter all shall act on common principles and with a common pur pose, and the first step, of course, is to arrange for the accumulation of the necessary men and materials at the light points, for Avhich vour railroad is the'very thing. M. O. Auger Avill be Avith you before this, and you will find him xirepared to- second you to the utmost of his power. I want him to study his problem and call on Grant, through me, for the least force that is adequate, for we must respect the demand from other quarters. Of course, I am disposed to find fault that our soldiers are now tied up in the Southern states, but in the light they are now regarded, it Avould be impolitic and imprudent for me to ' * ' 1 rw.Vi PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF say so publicly. All I can do is to keep General Grant well informed, so tbat be may distalbute bis army to tbe best advantage for tbe wbole country. As to supplies, General Auger will be, and is,"at liberty to control tbis question accordin 5 to tbe state of facts.

St. Louis, May 7, 1867. ^ly Dear General Dodge; I bave your valuable letter of AluuI 28tb, and am fully convinced tbat you will com plete tbat road tbis season to tbe bead of Crow Creek, and it may be, to Fort Sanders. Wbere tbe spring bas been so pi'olonged, I tbink you may safely count on a late fall. I will not be surprised if you lay rails up to Cbristmas. I tbink tbis year is our crisis on tbe plains, because every montb and year will diminisb the necessity for troops in tbe reconstructed States, and give us more and more troops for tbe plains, esjAecially cavalry. I suppose I am in for tbe excursion up tbe Mediter ranean. We are advertised to sail for Gibraltar June 8, and ougbt to reacb ^larseilles July 4. We are tben to cruise along tbe Mediterranean and Blade Seas, stopping at Genoa, Leghorn, Islaples, Athens, Constantinople and tbe Crimea (Sebastopol); tben out to Smyrna, Beirout, Jopi)a and Alexandria., back to tbe coast of Spain, aud out to Medina, and home in October. If you will keep GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN •cviA' :\ >., i , .'lt? • / Nichols here advised, he will reach me through General Dix at Paris, and I will arrange for General Grant to tele graph me should anything of enough importance occur to call me back, in Avhich event, I will be prepared tO' leave the ship and return by Avay of England. My Departments are now well commanded, and should any combination of the troops be necessary. General Grant will order. I would not go if I thought anything would suffer, but it is vain for me to suppose my presence necessary when Gen eral Grant freely offers to spare me. I will bear in mind your wish and wil write you some letters from abroad as a keepsake, and as evidence of my personal friendship. Wishing yon and yours all possible happiness, etc. W. T. Sherman. The tracks were joined at Promontor^^ on May 10,1869, and, not forgetting what Sherman had done to make the great transcontinental Line a success, I sent him a dis patch when the last spike was being driven. General Sherman answered as follows: Washington, May 11, 1869. General G. M. Dodge: In common with millions, I sat yesterday and heard the mystic taps of the telegraphic battery announce the.nailing of the last spike in the great Pacific road. Indeed am I its friend. Yes. Yet, am I to be a part of it, for as early as 1864 I was Vice-President of the effort begun in San Francisco under the contract of Robinson, Seymour & Company. As soon as General Thomas makes certain preliminary inspections in his new command on the Pacific, I will go out and, I need not say, will have different facilities from that of 1846, when the only way to California was by sail around Cape Horn, taldng our ships 196 days. All honor tO' you, to Diirant, to Jack and Dan Casement, to Reed, and the thousands of brave fellows who have wrought out this glorious prob lem, spite of changes, storms, and even doubts of the incredulous, and all the obstacles you have now rapidly surmounted. W. T. Sherman, General. There is no one who has taken so active a part, and Avho has accomplished so mcich for the benefit of the Gov ernment, in the building of the transcontinental railroads as General Shennan. He has taken occasion to look after and to speak his mind frankly about them since their con struction, and in September, 1888, in commenting upon a paper which was read before th Society of the Army of the Tennessee, upon the Transcontinental Railway, he spoke as follows: 'It. r ::y 36 . PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF "I need not speak to an audience suck as this in praise of the historic paper just read by General Dodge. It so happened that I Avas, before the Civil War, during it and since, deeply interested in the great problem of a Pacific railroad. Every Avord of Gen u-al Dodge's paper is time to my personal knoAvedge, and I endorse every pi'oposition he has made. When the Civil War Avas over, you must all remember that I AA'as stationed at St.- Louis, in command of all the troops on the Avestern plains as far out as Utah. I found General Dodge as Chief Engineer of the Union Pacific Kailroad, in the success of AA^hich enterprise I felt the gi'eatest possible interest. I .promised the most perfect protection by troops of the reconnoitering, surveying and construction parties; and made frequent jpersonal visits, on horseback and in ambulance, and noticed that the . heads of al the parties had been soldiers during the civil Avar. I firmly believe that the Civil War trained the men Avho built that great national highAvay, and, as General Dodge has so vei*y graphically described, he could call on any body of men to 'fall in,' 'take arms, form platoons and companies,' 'deploy as skirmishers' and fight the maraud ing Indians just as they had learned to fight the rebels dOAvn at Atlanta. I aa-III not claim that they Avere all of the Army of the Tennessee, but the heads of the parties Avere all, or nearly all, Union soldiers. "I Avas particularly interesfed in that part of the paper AA'herein is described the discovery of the AA'ay to cross the Black Hills beyond Cheyenne. Th "e Avas no Cheyenne then. They AAmre limited by the laA ti ^"..g foot grade to the mile. Instead of folloAving the .mlley of Lodge Pole Creek, as all previous engineers hr done, he chose the upper or anti-clinal line, instead of tl i- Ioaaut, or sin-clinal line. This Avas a stroke of genius, • i- AAdiich they sur mounted the Kocky MoAintaius by a - ade of eighty feet to the mile, Avhereas by any other route then knoAvn he Avould haA'e been forced to a grade of 200 feet, or to adopt short curAms through the Lar'amie Pass. "The Union and Central Pacific Bailroads were the pionwr transcontinental roads in America, and eA-ery man who did his part should receive all honor, l^ow thime are fi ve transcontinental railroads, the last the Canadian I'acific. It so happened that two years ago, having traveled by evei*y other, I expressed a wish to return from San Fran cisco eastAvard by the Canadian Pacific, just completed. ' V*,' GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN To iny amazement, I tliscovered that the President of that railroad was ^Ma.jor W. C. Van Home, one of our railroad men, ediicated in onr war between Nashville and Atlanta, lie was then, as now, the President of that railroad, with a salary of from §25,000 to .§50,000, and they talked of jnaking him a Duke. He can hold his own with any Duke T have thus far encountered. Anyhow, he acted like a Prince to me. From his office in Montreal he ordered his a«;ent at Victoria, in British Colum|)ia, to extend to Gen eral Sherman every possible courtesy, which was done. T had a special car for myself and daughter, Lizzie, with privilep,e of stopiiin*;' over at any station. "On my way eastward 1 met many peopleand heard many thin.u's of deep interest to me, and, may-be, to you. There are three mountain ranji;es between the ^lississippi, or rather, the Missouri t'alley, and the Pacific Ocean, the Bockies, the AVasatch and the Cascades. These converge to the northwest, so that in the Canadian Pacific the engineers had tO' meet them closer togi ther than by our. Northern Pacific or by the Central and Union. In the first explorations the English t. ngineers saw no esca])e from the conclusion that to pass these ranges from their starting point on to the I'acific, Vancouver, a. mag nificent port, they would have tofollowthegradeof Fraser Uiver, by its west branch, to its veiw head, near the Henry House, and thence descend the Athabasca, eastAvard to Winnipeg, etc. This route Avas about 100 miles longer than the direct line. The board of directors in Mnntreal then called on our United States experienced engineers, and found a, man Avho undertook to cut across this great bend or loop. "Instead of folloAviug the Avest branch of the Fraser Biver, he took the east branch, Thonii)son's, u]) to the Kamlooi)s" lake. The mountains eastAvard seemed im- ])assable, but he reasoned 'Avhere there's a aaHI there's a Avay.' Through brush and trees he forced his Avay, and found a. pass in the Cascade range called Kicking Horse, Avhere his horse had kicked him on his knee. Persever ing, he, in the next or main range, observed the flight of an eagle, Avhich did not, as usual, pass over the highest visible [teak but disappeared around a point; so he folloAved the same course, found an uue^xpected break, and locat(Hl a railroad AAuth less grade.s than the Union Pacific, and saved a distance of four hundred miles, or twenty millions of dollars. ikb; x^il^• .' .—• . . •►* - PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OP "In looking over the nsnal time-tables of the Canadian Pacific, you will find the Kicking Horse and Eagle Pass through which millions of people will travel and millions of dollars of freight will pass. All are, in part, the conse quence of our Civil War, and the men it educated." On December 21, 1S81, Col. F. D. Grant informed me that he had just come from Dr. Fordyce Baker, who told him that his father could not live long; perhaps a month or two, perhaps not so lon.g. He said tlaat Governor Fish and Dr. Newman were the only ones that knew it. I was thunderstruck, for only the Sunday before I was at the house, and the General looked fairly well, though I kneAv he was much distressed. I told Colonel Grant that Sherman was in the city, and suggested going doAvn and telling him how sick his "father was, and have him see him. We went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel and found General Shennan, who said he was in good health; was troubled some with asthma, but Avas full of worlv, attending to meetings, etc., etc. Colonel Fred said to General Sherman: "I think my father's History tells more of what you did than your own memoirs." Sher man said: "Well, when Grant writes anAdhing Ave can all depend on getting the facts. When he AAU'ites and says himself what AA'as done, and what he saAV, nO' sodleir need fear; but Avhen otliers AA-rite Avhat he does and says, it is not always so." Col. Fred said he liad been liaAfing con siderable trouble with the publishers or editors of the Century, who Avere to publish the war articles, Shiloh, Vicksbnrg, Wilderness and Appomattox, and that they had made his father vei*y angi-y^; that they Avanted him to change the Avord rebel in his articles to confederate and the word union to federal. He said that finally General Grant wrote a short letter demanding that his aidicles be published as wi-itten. Fred further said that his father had written three articles, but that he did not believe he Avonld write any more. Sherman said: "This ti-ying to soften treason by expunging the Avords of the General Avas AATong, and that if it kept on, pretty soon the sons of Southern soldiers would consider it as much of an honor that their fathers fought under Lee as the sons of a Union General that their fathers fought under Grant; that the line of union and rebel, of loyalty and treason, should be alAvays kept distinct." I remarked: "As long as our fi'iends live it will, but the tendency all thetimeisto wipe out history, to forget it, forgive, excuse and soften, and Avhen all the soldiers pass from this age it AA'ill be easy 'i.

It looks as though it was that way today." Sher man said; "It M'as a conspiracy nntil Sumter nms fired upon, after that it was a rebellion." During a trip from New York to Cincinnati to attend a meeting of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, the question of the transcontinental lines came up, and Sher man expressed a wish tliat when the lines from Portland, Oregouj which were being connected by way of Tacoma and Seattle, and so on north to the Canadian Pacific, were completed, we could make a trip, stai'ting from New York and going by way of California, and thence north and back by way of the Canadian Pacific, ending our trip and making the circle complete in New York. I said to him: "General, whenever that connection is made I will take a car, and we will make the trip. You shall select your paidy. I have never seen the Canadian Pacific, and I will wait and go with you." A short time before he died, in 1891, he was in my office in New York, and was standing at the windoAv looking at the grand view of New York bay. He said to me: "Dodge, have you noticed that that line between Seattle and the Canadian Pacific is nearly completed?" I answered, and said I had not, but when it was I Avas ready to make the trip. I left New York a feAV days afterAvard. When I reached Omaha I received a telegram from his family, and was called back to attend his funeral, and while he lay dead in New York the connection of those lines was made. It Avas the only thing Avhich he seemed to express a great desire to accomplish before he rounded up his life, and it is the regret of my life that he was unable to do so. We see, then, that General Sherman, as a soldiei', and William Tecumseh Shennan as a citizen, were distinctly t.Avo different men. Sherman as a soldier asked nothing, woAild take nothing except duty from his subordinates, and he gave nothing but absolute loyalty and duty to a superior. He had the good will of every man who worked under him. I know of no man who ever received an order to make a march or go into battle, bu felt he would make the one successful and Avin the other. Sherman had the nickname in the Army of the Tennessee of the "Old Ty coon," but the soldiers knew that he protected and looked after their interests, and they kneAV he would take care of them. 40 PERSONAL RECOLl ECTIONS OF General Sherman after the "vvar, when he came intO' civil life, was one of the most generous of men. The old soldiers and commanders who served under him, he could not be too gracious to. At every opijortunity he would push them to the front. At a dinner, at his club, or at his home, he had a nice way or faculty of maldng every soldier believe that he had done something wonderful, or he gave him the credit of having done something that would give him a standing wherever he was. He spent a great poi'tion of his income for the personal good of old soldiers, and no person could have traveled udth him, as I have done, and see the expressions of love, sympathy and respect he received, but would value him as I do for his large generosity and gi*eat deeds after the war. And, as a. statesman his writings and speeches stamp him as able to grapple with any national problem. It seems almost impossible for us who knew him from the beginning of the war to its clo. e, and then to have knoAvn him from the close of the war till his death, to appreciate the two. distinct qualities that made him superior in each of his tAVO lives. The patience, the firmness, the resolution Avith Avhich he pursued his difficult campaign against Johnston from Chattanooga to Atlanta constitute one of the finest achievements in histoi-y. The bcddness of conception, the ingenuity of the plan, tlie accepting of desperate chances, in giving Lee an opportunity to crush him in his campaign from Savannah to Goldsboro, Avill forever give Sherman prestige as a bold, fearless, strategical commander. Upon that campaign alone I am Aviling to stake Sherman's repu tation for all time. 429 Septen.ber, 1901 New York City, September 11, 1902 L. D.

I have not seen a pro gramme of the meeting, but you will understand about this. I will be glad, also , to attend the n.eeting of the Army of the Teinessee on Tuesday evening. You had better select a better talker than iriyself to represent the 16th Corps. I will, however, be glad to do whatever is asked of rne. I know all the men you name, and nearly all of them are good talkers, and should be put to the front. I have not received the letter from W. S. Belden that you mention in your letter. Wishing you every success in your efforts to have a. good representation of the 16th Corps and the Army of the Tennessee, I am. Truly and cordially yours, drenville . Dodge. 431 '"WV Sep-tember, 1902 New York City, September 11, 1902, dear Cortelyou: I want to congratulate you, i. Iso the j^resident, on your narrov/ escape from serious injury at Pittsfield. i hope in your numerous tr<vels better care will be taken of you. 1 suppose it would be useless to make any suggestion in the matter because of the impossibility of one travelling about as the ^'resident does actually knowing how well he is cared for, and what circumstances may arise, have been thinking of writing the President in relation to the treaty with Cuba. I do not know whether it is being consider ed, but ^ wislj to suggest to whoever has it in hand what I think- would be of benefit to Cuba, and a greater benefit to the ^nited States. You know I spent three months in Cuba last winter, travelling in all parts of it, and especially through the center and agricultural portions, and I was struck very forcibly with the fact that what Cuba needed was a diversification of its crops. Every foot of the island is susceptible to cultivation, and it isdevoted to the raising of sugar and tobacco, whereas it is especially well fitted for the raising of vegetables, and is a country for the small farmer if it had a market. I noticed when there tia t it had in a small way a business with this country from the first of November until the first of Warch, sending in vegetables at the time when thiscountry either raised them in hot houses or uses them canned, and if you want to develop Cuba and Hiake it the honie of Americans and give it a great opportunity, the tariff should be taken off fruit and veget ables iroi; November until March. I'hat is a time when there is no competition in the United States and the only business that Cuba does here in those months comes from the fact that it is competing only with hot-houses, and tlie prices they receive gives them a little profit on what they raise and ship. If we open our country to vegetable^; atthat time of th.e year, and at a time when they are not raised in any part of the United States for comisuraption in our great cities, we v/ould .lot only offer an inducement for a very large number of small farmers of the United States to go there and develop that country, but we would bring those vegetables in here at a price that would place them within the reach of all our people. fhe water transportation is not costly, but the tariff upon them is from fifty to one .hundred per cent, and during the months I mention it certain ly should be taken off, there are a great many small farmers going in there now to raise citrous fruits and vegetables in a small w^, but the nuniber is very small compared with what would go there if we opened our market to the vegetables. We should open it to all fruits, but i judge if we undertook to do that we would have such a contest from Florida and California that it would not be considered. However, it would take five years to establish the cifchous fruit business in Cuba so that it would be able to compete any with our country. m No matter how much you reduce the tariff' on sugar, it willnot in crease .the pOiJulotion orinduce Americans to go to that island in any such numbers, as a reduction upon vegetables'during the nionths I mention. Ido not know whether any representation of this matoer has been n.ade to the Government, but in my travels in ^uba there was nothing that struck me so forcibly as a method ofhelping Cuba as this. I take it there will be no trouble in aiding Cuba at the next session of Congress in such directions as the President may determine. It is evident that those who opposed his policy in the last session of Congress had very little knowledge of what the pedple wanted, and you can appreciate that I am greatly pleased at the reception the President is receiving in his travels, and the fact that the statements I made to him at V»est Point as "to the opinion of the people throughout the V.'est are a good deal more than comfirmed. I, myself, did no;, appreciate how unanimious the feeling was that Cuba should be aided in accordance with our promiises. I trust there will be no delay in getting a speedy and liberal treaty. Ithink we should go at least up to-.thirty^five percenteon sugar; we should go to fifty, and it would never injure us. Then again, it will never injure the beet sugar industry in this country one mill. The fact that the cane sugar interests in the Gnited States have bought a half interest in all the prosperous mills in this country indicates that they pro pose to maintain the price of sugar.in this country.

It will give me great satisfaction to be able to furnish you with such data, such information in regard to any part od my father's life and career as I can. I will be returning to N.Y. some day next week Just when I aan and will let you know, as soon as - I can, I will then get these tiiihgs ready and let you have them before you go to Colorado. I have had it in mind to attend, as I had hoped, with my ^ father, the next meeting of the Reunion of the Army of the Tenn.,-andand, I shall do so now- alone- should I be able and alive to do so. General, 1 do thank you for your loving and beautiful tribute to my dear father, and it makes my heart go out to you, in gratitude and a affection. I have received today from Mr . Charles Aldrich an appre ciative and sjTnpathethio letter. I surely must have some copies of the Register- Leader, whioh contains Mr, A's article. I will send with this mail a copy of the Eost containing your interview, and the account of the funeral. My dear General, we all send our love to you and a hope that you will adopt us, in a way, because we are the children of your friend. Yours truly. Haidee Williamson. .; • .1 ■ 437 Sept* 1902 West Point, N.Y. Sept.13,1902 My dear Oeneral Dodge, I was delighted to see the article about Fred with remarks in the A. &. N. Journal last week and am truly grateful to you for your interest in the same as it never would have been heard of except for your friendly interest, I know that and it has been really dis tressing to me, to have never a mention of Fred's fine work in that or any other Journal, when all other officers seem to be constantly noticed and complemented. I have splendid photographs ( taken by an officer with Fred) of the latter and all his forces during the surrender in Samar and photos of Fred and his Staff and troops all during their active, successful services in Samar. I am positive that such photographs taken under similar circumstances, of any other officer would all appear surely in the A. A:. N. Illustrated Register, the Harpers or other Weeklies, but Fred's will be passed over, with a casual thought that he has done very well. Of course I cannot publish them. It was your personal request that caused the appearance of that article last week and it is very good of you to take an interest; Fred and I shall always appreciate your kindness truly. I expect hirr, Fred, about the middle of October. He is now, on ship being held in quarantine to guard against cholera. He will surely see you on his arrival. I think he will go to Texas immediately. Both of us enjoy the prospect Fred and I shall be delighted with our home there, where he will enjoy the command given him. We shall count upon the pleasure of a visit from you, in Han Antor.io next winter surely. I want to thank you again. Dear General Dodge, for the pamphlets with records of the G, A. R. meeting and your reminiscences so interesting, I am keeping ai;i to show to Fred. Friends sent Mrs. Grant the A. &. M. Journal and she was rejoiced to rend the account of surrender to Fred.

Dodge, No.l Broadway, New York My dear General;- Your telegram touches my heart for I know how sincere are your expressions, but, my dear friend, you do not know the situation. I have been abused and criticised in my own state because I do not believe in the free trade medicine for trusts. Again, because I appointed an old soldier, backed by 1900 republican patrons of the postoffice at Waterloo and turned down a young fellow with twenty two backers and a little paper, and then denounced and pursued in an almost brutal wav bv a number of republicans in East Waterloom they have set a preacher at work claiming that I authorized the illegal selling of liquor in the House restaurant because I gave the usual permit to Mr.Page to keep the restaurant. I have given a ^150,000 public building to the last sLsion at Waterloo, and yet the combined power in that city does not give me the support of either one of the republican papers. They are sticking knives into my back at every issue. I feel as though I ought to he permitted to make a dignified campaign this fall, and so far as ExGovernor Boies and I are concerned it would have been, but some of the republicans would have had it otherwise• . „ ^ fought long for my country in Gongress. I do not soeak nywhere else, and feel that I am being unjustly pursued bv men who ought to approve of my course. Again, everywhere they wanted to bleed me and I have not the help of the faithful. Friends melt awav as snow before a burning sun. The people have got it into thoti- hoaa that I am the only one interested in the congressional race and 1 do against discontented, selfish and brutal republicans? with you? ® to sit down and talk Your friend with sincere affection, D.B. Henderson •N,. , \ ^ '\;t ',. ' tr 441 1902. On Thursday September 18, 1902, at 4:40 A. M. I started with Sir V7iliiam Van Horn and Mr. over the Canadian Pacifi railroad for the West. Run td Matawon on the Ottawa river by ni{Tht--an interesting trip. The Ottawa river is Very wide and lined with towns. There are lumber mills at many points. Spent the latter part of the day in 8^ and called bn the Canadian officers. Friday September 19t]i, we ran north of L'ake Superior. During the day saw 250 miles of very-4<tee work; cost $100,000 per mile. The country is filled with lakes and m .The country, so far as I could see, was of no earthly use unless minerals are discovered. • -On September 20th we reached Winnipeg in the mornin^ and ran right through the wheat country to Bordon. It is a leval open country with wheat shocks in*every field. A fine sight. The country is rapidly filling up from'emigrants mostly from the United States, They raise forty to fifty bushels of wheat to the acre in this country. On Friday the 21st, we reached Glen in Morey County, the town is just east of the mountains. As we get into the foot'-hills of the mountains, the coun^^ry appears to be more barren and mdr-^ adapted to pasture than to agriculture, but it is said to be good o<t vur for wheat. The elevation at Glen3b»4a^is 2000 feet'. We followed up the river to the Kickin g-hc^rse Pass and down the Columbia;- the grade up was easy but was heavy coming down. The work on the line is very light. On September 22nd, we were in the m'o'untains looking at the country, glaciers, etc. and on' Septetober 23rd in the morning was on the Thompson, Run down that stream to the Frazerand down that m 1902. E»BOg to Vancouver. The scenery down the river is very fine. j Vancouver has a fine mrhor and will make a great city in time. We lunched on the steamer "Empire", one of the Canadian Pacifi'c great steamships going to China. The service was hy Japs and was simply perfect. On Wednesday September 24th, we dined at the Vancouver cluh with Mr. Marco and others. During the day drove over the city and through the parks. The city has a beautiful site and is a commanding point for business on Puget Sound and no doubt some day will have a large populationThefceis considerable agricultural country immediately tributary to it. , On Wednesday September 24th, we started East at 2 P.M. We road to the North Bend by daylight. In the morning was at Ravelstock. 'ita Crossed Gold Ran^M^ an easy grade. By daylight cliinbed over the Selkikr range, seeing the entire slope, a loop has been put in o with 3 curves and a three foot grade. The timber all the way was fine. On September 26th crossed over the Rocky Mountains during the night. Reached Medicine Hat in the morning. Crossed the Saskatche wan, a fine stream, with table lands. On Septembers 27th we took an extra from Medicine Hat and ran to Winnepeg. The country next to the mountains was high and dry and well fitted for cattle. They expect to bring the Bow River water out on these plains. We spend the day in Winnepeg. r. offic^®.^ joined us. Mr. E. J. Belfort Atty.,for Queen Victoria, Hon. Jolm Sharpies, Quebec, Hon. John Pltzpatrick, Atty. Justice Quebec; and Arch Bishop Langon of Winnepeg. We reached the North Bay on May the 29th and ran to Montreal. 443 1908. My trip over the Canadiar Pacific convinced me that all the country needed was to be advertised and it would be settled. Farm lands were for sale by the Canadian Pacific from three to ten dollars per acre and the people who had come in there had been prosperous and the people of our country were just beginning to learn what an opportunity there was to obtain cheap lands. While the season here is short, still it is long enough to raise wheat, flax and the small grains but not corn,and it is evidently a good country for cattle. So far no minerals have been discovered there. There are extensive coal mines in the mountains. Ft. Arthur will certainly be a prominent point ^r from this point the grain is mostly shipped east'in the summer months,-which makes it necessary to hold the grain in the elevators there during the winter. Tliis is quite a burden upon the railroads because all the grain ia s to be hauled in a short time in the fall. If this grain could be run to our mills in Minneapolis in the winter, it would be a great advantage to the farmers of Canada.

General G, M. Dodge, No. 1 Broadv/ay, New Y'ork, Dear bir:- Your letter of the 3rd inst. enclosing a letter from Mr. Albert watkins, was received here during ra y absence on a vacation. when the Receivers of the Union Pacific had completed their work an agreement was made pursuant to orders of the court to go through all the old archives with power to destroy such as were not deemed necessary for the use of the pre se:.t company, and to retain suchas might be considered essential to it. Under that authoritj'- Mr. Mink and myself somewhat thoroughly overhauled the . old books and p'^pcrs, and burned such as were not deemed necessarjr for current or future use and turned over to the new company such as were likely to be required, these generally being books of account, and record books of recent date. Under these circumstances there is nothing in my files which I could submit to Mr. watkins to enable him to get the early history of the Union P cific in Nebraska, and 1 am not sufficiently familiar wit^ the Uredit Mobilier and George Francis Train to furnish him anythin- satisf-ctory on that subject. As to the construction of the road in the State of Nebraska I think it would be impossible for me to work up the facts with any intelligence, as n variety of different companies built the lines, and their construction extended over period of years a connected history of which does not exist. By searching- the ' records of all of these old companies the facts could be ascertained, but it is out of the question for me to undertake the work. I think the facts are all on file in the office of the Secretary of State for the St "te of Nebraska, or In the office of tke Board of Transportation, to one or other of which offices the several companies h"ye made annual reports, and these annual reports would show the facts. I rertrn Mr. Watkins's letter herewith, agreeably with your request. j Yours truly. Alex Millar, Secretary. ^ept. 1902 un PERSONAL ^-OFFICIAL. 449 Des Moines, la., Sept.25,1902 Dear Mr. Clarksoh; Sly personal horne is in Boone, whither I go every Friday or Saturday, returning Monday. .The Milwaukee line passes near my door and during the administration of Gen. Dodge, trains always stopped to take me on and let me off, and there was a generous modification of fares. Under this administration I pay full fare, and the Stop-off has been absolutely denied. In consideration of the work I am doing, my seventy-four years, and of the great crowds of people which it brings to Des Moines, it seems to me that the Railroad people ought to at least give me this stop-off privelege, and make me a rate of fare the same as they do people in the suburban towns of Chicago. I do not keep a horse, and my home is a mile from the depot. My salary ^ also still remains a nominal one. I write you now in the hope that you may be able to secure some modification for my benefit, of these cast iron rules. I suppose some of the powerful men of the Milwaukee road reside in New York City, and that you may be acquainted with them. Should you be able to give me any assistance, I will gratefully appreciatt? it. Every other State officer, I understand to have free transportation. Very sincerely yours. Charles Aldrich Hon. J. S.

Sept. £5th, 1902 As you may know, already Fred is on his way home, to take the Dept. of Texas as his command. I may expect him about the 13th or 14th of October, so am arranging to go to San Antonio myself, with happiness, at once upon his return. In going over our numferous possessions I find in our house in New York City, all the "Resolutions" passed in the different states and cities, of Sorrow andregret over the death of Genl, Grant and condolences with his family, all of which Mrs. Grant sent to Fred, as he had already spoken to you of the plan to have them placed in the small corner rooms of Genl. Grant's tomb, to be hung and preserved there. Many of these "Resolutions" are framed and others are simply the parchments rolled, which might be in Albums under glass. Of course, it was most remarkable, so many being passed, by all the State Legis latures and Governments; a great pride to Genl. Grant's descendants. ^Fred thought them not appropriate on the walls of a private house and besides there tihey would be in danger of being mislaid or lost. V/here as they would seem appropriate in these little corner rooms of the timb at Riverside, where they could be preserved and seen by all visitors to the tomb and better there than in Washington with other things of Genl. Grant's. Fred started off so soon after these were sent to our house in N. Y. City, he going to Porto Rico, and then to the Phillipines so that he could not attend to the matter. Do you remember his mention ing this to you and did you ngree with his idea of their being hung in one of the corner rooms of the tomb at Riverside. I have had all these "Resolutions" in my keeping since Fred's departure and they are now in my store room of our little house in 62nd Street^i N.Y. I thought I would ask you if you remembered his idea about them and if they could be receipted by some one of the "Grant Monument fissociation. I could deliver them to that reliable party, to receive t^^em for your committe if you approved. At any rate I have decided to mention this and learn if you remember Fred's consulting with you about it? He always has had such a dread of the articles connected with his father's life and history being lost or neglected. If you don't wish to receive them for the tomb, I can store them somewhere in New York. Hoping for reply and that you are well. I send regards in which my son joins me. Yours Bineerely, Ida H. Grant .,Ar ■ A TALK TO OLD COMRADES I Address to Sixteenth Army Corps Delivered at the National Encampment, G. A. R... Washington, D. C., October, 1902 By Major-General Grenville M. Dodge Comrades of the Sixteenth Army Corps: The Sixteenth Army Corj^s was organized December 18th, 1862, and formed into two wings. General A. J. Smith command ed the right wing, and General G. M. Dodge the left wing of the Corps. The left wing was organized with the Corps, the right wing a year or more afterwards. The Corps, as a body, was never together, though it probably took part in more widely separated fields tban any other Corps in the Army of tlie Tennessee. The right wing, under General Smith, was in the Vieksburg campaign, and after that it went to the Department of the Gnlf, and was with General Banks in his movement up Red River, and saved that Army from defeat; of this there is no doubt. After that, it was sent after Forrest, and it was the only command that I know of that caugiit and whipped him. The left wing overtook General Forrest at Town Creek, in 1863, in its march to Decatur in the rear of ' Bragg's Army, but he did not stay long enough for us to get a good fight out of him. From the campaign after Forrest, General Smith's command was sent to the Department of the Missouri to drive out Price. There T found them, in December, 1861, when I took command of that Denartment, in a deplorable condition,—without clothing, u]) equipage. Under an order from General Grant, I I Xaslwille, with all the force in my department, some sand men all told, to help General Thomas, and I sent liing they needed to clothe and equip them. You all ow you were frozen in on the Mississippi, and had to •8. One of the pleasantest recollections of my life is A Talk to Old Comrades. that I received a letter from General Smith, thanking me for appre ciating their condition, and having in Nashville when thej' arrived, everything they needed. He said that it was the first time they had been treated decently, and they were thankful they had fallen into the hands of some one who appreciated them. At the Battle of Nashville it was General Smith, with the right wing of the Sixteenth Corps, and the troops of the Depart ment of the klissouri, that turned the left flank of Hood's Army, and was practically in his rear when stopped; and I have heard many officers who were there say that if he had been let alone he would have captured or destroyed that wing of the Army. Thus ended the eventful career of the right wing, and its fortunes were cast with the Army of tlic Cumberland in its chase after Hood. The left wing was organized from the troops 1 commanded in the District of Corinth, and had in it the old Second Division of the Army of the Tennessee that Grant organized at Cairo, that fought at Belmont, Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, and the two Corinths. It had on its banners, "First at Donelson." I took command right after the Battle of Corinth, where it had -been cen sured by Roseerans and praised by Grant for the part it took in the Battle of Corinth. General Grant hold us at Corinth as a pro tection to his communications while the campaign against Viekshurg was going on. In a letter to me he said he had left us there to protect that flank, for he knew that if Bragg endeavored to break that line we would stay; so you see he still had faith in his old Division. From Corinth we marched with Sherman in his cele brated trip from Memjdiis to Chattanooga. We wintered on the line, and rebuilt the Nashville and Decatur Road, and in his illemoirs General Grant, after describing the condition of the Army, and the necessity for rebuilding the railway from Nashville to De catur, speaks thus of the work of the Sixteenth Army Corps: Gouernl Dodge had no tools to work with execirt tho.se of the pioneer— axes, picks, and spades. With these he was enabled to intrench his men, and protect them against surprise from small parties of the enemy, and, as he had no base of supplies until the road could be completed back to Nashville, the first matter to consider, after in-otecting his men, was the getting in of food and forage from the surrounding country. He had his men and teams bring in all the grain they could find, or all they needed, and all the cattle for heef, and such other food as could be found. Millers were detailed from the ranks to run the mills along the Hue of the army. Where they were not near enough to the troops for protection they were taken down and moved up to the line of the road. Blacksmith shops, with all the iron and steel found in them, were used up in like manner. Black- " "vvr:.7« "' n ^ • ■ . I p i I. \r -* H A Talk to Old CoiritADEs. smiths were detiiiled and set to work making tlie tools necessary in railroad and bridge building. A.\emen were at work getting out timber for bridges, and cutting fuel for locomotives and cars. Thus every brancli of railroad building, making tools to work with, and supijlying the workmen with food, was all going on at once, and without the aid of a mechanic or workman e.vcept what the command itself furnished. General Dodge bad the work assigned to him finished within forty daj-s after receiving his orders. The number of bridges to rebuild was 182, many of them over deep and wide chasms. The length of road repaired was 102 miles. 1 only qiiofe a small part of irliat General Grant sa3s in this connection, to sliow j'ou that while the Si.xteentii Corps had its share of hghtinn-, and praise for it, still it was a Corps that Grant called upon in an emergency, and when he wanted great deeds done; and proves not onh" what the}' could turn tlieir hands to when necessaiT, but is also a sample of what our great anni' was made of. In the spring of 1864 we became a part of the great Army in the Atlanta campaign. AVhen we arrived at Chattanooga, on th 5th of May, I called at General Sherman's headquarters. General McPherson, our Arnpy Commander, was there. Sherman said to him; "You had better send Dodge to take Ship's Gap." "AATiy, General," replied AfePlierson, "that is thirty miles away, and Dodge's trfwps are not .vet unloaded, and he has no transportation with him." Sherman .«aid: "Let him try it, and have the trans portation follow." Wc struck out, and that night at midnight Spraguo's Prigade of the Fourth Division of the Sixteenth Corps had gained the Gap. The enemy appeared the next morning. This opened the wa.y through Snake Creek Gap, planting us in the rear of Johnston's Army, and forcing him to abandon his impregnable position at Dalton. Our battles in the Atlanta eamjjaign were those of the Army of tlie Tennessee. The left wing received continual commendation until the groat battle of the 22d, when it happened to be in the rear of our Army, and received and defeated the celebrated move ment of Mood to our rear. Sprague's Brigade fought all day at Decatur, and saved our trains. In the battle of the 22d of July we had only five thousand men in line, but met and repulsed three Divisions of Ilardee's Corps, and McPhenson, who stood on our right and witnessed the fight, watching the charge of Fuller and Mersey, and the breaking of two of the enemy's columns, spoke of us in the highest terms, and five minutes later was dead. Our Army, who knew and loved him, never could reconcile ourselves to his great loss. A Talk to Old Comrades. The Battle of Atlanta was one of the few battles of the war where the attack on the Sixteenth Armj' Corps caught it on the inarch in the rear of the Army, without intrenchments or protec tion of any kind, both sides lighting in the open. In his address describing the battle of the 22d of July, Gen eral Strong, of General McPherson's staff, says: General McPherson and myself, accompanied only by our orderlies, rode out and took position on the right of Dodge's line, and witnessed the desperate assaults of Hood's army. General McPherson's admiration for the steadiness and bravery of the Sixteenth Corps was unbounded. Had the Sixteenth Corps given way the rebel army would have been in the rear of the Seventeenth and Fifteenth Corps, and would have swept like an avalanche over our supply-trains, and the position of the Army of the Ten nessee would have been very critical. General Prank P. Blair pays this tribute to the lighting of the Sixteenth Army Corps, in his official report of the Battle of At lanta: I started to go back to my command, and witnessed the fearful assault made on the Sixteenth Army Corps, and its prompt and gallant repulse by that command. It was a most fortunate circumstance for the whole army that the Sixteenth Army Corps occupied the position I have attempted to describe at the moment of attack; and, although it does not belong to me to report upon the bearing and conduct of the officers and men of that Corps, still I cannot withhold my expression of admiration for the manner in which this command met and repulsed the repealed and persistent attacks of the enemy. The attack upon our flank and rear was made by the whole of Hardee's corps. Under General Howard, a part of tbe left wing took part in the battle of tbe 28th of July. On August 19th I was given a Con federate leave, when that beau-ideal of a soldier, my old schoolmate and comrade. General T. E. G. Ransom, took command of the Corps. The right wing knew him, for he was with you in the Red River campaign. He died on a stretcher in command of the Corps in the cha.?e after Hood. The old Second Division had its innings with General Corse, at Altoona, where the fighting has been immortalizetl in verse and song. My fortunes took me away to tbe eommand of the Army and Department of the Missouri, and the two Divisions of the left wing were merged one into the Fifteenth and the other into the Seventeenth Corps, and, so far as the campaigns were concerned, the Corps fought in two units, the right and left wings, and each was a Corps command. The grave of that remarkable soldier. General A. J. Smith, whose distinguished services were so often reeognized by Generals Grant and Sherman, has not a stone to designate it. The Society I>i 'h: 455 A Talk to Old Comrades. of the Army of the Tennessee is aiding in raising the funds to com memorate liis memory and deeds by erecting a monument in his home in St. Louis. The Sixteenth Army Corps had great opportunities in the campaigns it took part in, and never failed to make the most of them. They went cheerfully to any work assigned to them. They have left in the war records a history that they may well be proud of, and every work they have undertaken has received the strong commendation of their superior officers. « MAJUIJ-OEXEKAL GEOUGE E. MEAD Commander Army of the Potomac 1864 SKI' THE CAMPAIGN IN THE WEST Address to the Army of the South-West AT National Encampment, G. A. R. Washington, D. C. October, 1902 My connection with the United States forces west of the Mis sissippi River eonnneneed at the beginning of the war, when I took Regiment, the Fourth Iowa, to St. Louis, and fell under the command of Fremont. I took part in the campaigns of that Department until after the Battle of Pea -Ridge, when I left the command and went to the Army of the Tennessee. After the At lanta campaign, in November, 18G4, I returned to Missouri as conimanclei- of that Department and Army. Of tlie transactions of the troops south of Missouri I have very little knowledge; but I know that the troops which served west of the Mississippi never had credit for the amount of work, hardships and e.xposures they endured. Owing to the fact of there having been fought there but two great battles, Wilson's Creek and Pea Ridge, and two minor ones, what they did was swallowed up in the great events that occurred cast of the Mississippi. Even Pope's campaign opening uj) a portion of the ]\Iississi|)pi is hardly ever spoken of. The Battle of Wilson's Creek, the iirst signal contest west of the Mississippi, was fought before my command reached St. Louis. The history of that battle, and the credit that is due to the com mander of that Army, General Lyon, and his men, are well known. There participated in the battle many offieers who were afterwards greatly distinguished ; among them Sehofield, Sturgis, Hunter, and others. It was the first battle that called attention to the West, and to the troo[)s west of the Mississippi. That battle was lost be cause a jjortion of tlie command did not comprehend and fulfill General L\on's orders. This mistake would have been overcome if S , ■ '4 ' » . ■*. '* r -_E 138 The Campaign in the West. it had not been for the loss in the battle of its coininander. Gen eral Lyon. But the fighting of the troops and the boldness of the movement immediately attracted the attention of the country, and held it until after the battle of Pea Ridge. The Army of the Southwest, which General Curtis command ed, and which traveled three hundred miles from its base .without water or rail communication, and lived off a barren country, and which fought that decisive Battle of Pea Ridge and cleared the countryi rmtil nearly the end of the war of any organized force of the enemy, had more marching and endured more suffering than the great Armies I was connected with east of the Mississippi, and its three days' fighting at Pea Ridge compared favorably rvith any of our battles, when the numbers engaged are considered. Then again, at the end of the war, the sufferings of the troops that I took onto the plains in the Indian campaigns in tlie win ters of 1864-5, 18G5-6, were far beyond any of the sufferings of any of our Armies during the Civil War. Their exposures through the cold weather, and the brutalities and butcheries of the Indians, which it was impossible for them to avenge or retaliate, were be yond description. Our early campaign in Missouri was without previous experi ence. It was simply one soldier standing up against another in battle, and we had to learn all the tricks of camp life, and from ex perience liow to take care of our soldiers. There were a great many funny incidents in the Pea Ridge campaign. The Southwestern Army was organized at Rolla, Mis souri, of which post I was in command. My quartermaster was Captain Philip H. Sheridan, and my commissary. Captain M. P. Small. No one who knew or saw Sheridan then thought of the great position he was to occupy in our Army, but when he took hold of that Army and stripped it and fed it, three hundred miles away from rail or water communication, we all knew that his was a master-mind. When he came to me at Rolla, the first order he gave was to take away abont three-quarters of our transportation. I think we had about two wagons to the company, and he brought us down to about four to a regiment. You can all appreciate the rebellion I had on my hands when I undertook to enforce his order. I know he stood by and watched to see what I .was going to do. Every Regiment and Command entered a protest, and said some very unkind things of him, denouncing him as a regular officer who The Campaign in the West. had no mercj' upon a volunteer; but I liad then had experience enougli to appreciate our necessities, and started in by stripping my own Eeginient, and then enforcing the orders upon the others. We were not long on that march before they appreciated the foresight of Sheridan. He had great energj' and great resources. He had to run all the mills along our line of march; he had to forage in every direction, and the punishment that he gave to some of the people to make them tell where their horses, forage and sweet pota toes were hidden would astonish those of our people who have been so horrified at tlic mild persuasions used for similar purposes in the Philippines. To show 3'ou liow little we knew of war on our first march, in January, 1862, from Eolla to Springfield, Missouri, all the reports we had obtained were that Price and his Army wore in Springfield. The troops of our Army were divided into two eommands, those under Siegel, composed of two Divisions, commanded by Osterhaus and Asboth, mostly Germans, and two Divisions of Americans com manded by Colonel Jeff C. Davis and Colonel E. A. Carr. I com manded a Brigade on the extreme left in Carr's Division, and, in accordance with instructions, put out a company in front of me as skirmishers. It was dark, and impossible for us to see much, and the first thing I know I had lost my skirmishers, and was in great distress until about daylight in the morning, when, while Siegel's guns and our own were booming away at Springfield, mj' company came back mounted on Confederate horses and mules—old hacks that the enemy had left boiiind tliem—and brought us news that there was no enemy in Springfield, and bad not been for two or three days. As we marched along towards Pea Eidge through the country, Price's Army faced us with a rear guard only, his main body keep ing a long distance ahead of us. At every stream they would halt our advance, and move out a couple of pieces of their artillery, and put out a strong skirmish-line, which would force our Army into line, tliinking we were going to have a battle. My Brigade led the advance most of the time on that march, and as soon as they would line up the officers would have the boys strip. They would throw down their chickens, sweet potatoes, and everything they had gathered, and by tlie time they had gone forward, and the enemy had run, the Thirty-sixth Illinois, or some other Eegiment, would come up and gobble what the}' had left. About the tliird time we mrk.TTJif " ^ ■; /^<?/?r COTro/vWOOD Tiiic Campaign ix the AVest. lined up I discovered that ever}' boy was hanging on to his chickens, sweet potatoes, and provender, and wlien I gave orders to the Col onels to have tliem throw tliein aside, the boys made answer: "ISTo yon don't. Colonel! You can't fool ns any more; we have fed those Thirty-sixth Illinois fellows as long as we propose to." At Pea Eidge we were snrronnded by Van Dorn, who placed Price's two Divisions in our rear, and he himself on our right flank with McCiillongh and Mclntosh's Divisions. The great Pea Eidge divided his Ai'iny, so it was impossible for one part to support the other. His Army was twice as large as that of Curtis, and the fact tliat it was divided enabled Curtis to whip his Army in detail, so that A'an Dorn's Army was virtually whipped before Curtis got his entire force into the field, Siegel only coming into battle after Van Dorn's Arkansas force had left for the South, JeS C. Davis's Division having killed its two Division commanders, and Van Dorn had given Price orders to get out the best way he could, which forced him to retreat to the east towards AVliite Eiver. After the Pea Eidge campaign the Battle of Prairie Grove was fought, under the command of General F. C. Herring, who was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Ninth Iowa Infantry in the Battle of Pea Eidge. As it was not in my command I have no knowledge of the detail of it; but from the reports it evidently was a sharp fight. In the spring of 18G5 Jeff C. Thompson and his command sur rendered to me on the Arkansas line. His command consisted of six thousand men, but he found he could not gather them, and claimed that not half of his command was present. AVhen I asked him how it was possible to get them all together, he suggested that I should send them rations. I therefore loaded two steamers from St. Louis, and sent them around by the AVhite Eiver, and Thomp son issued his celebrated order bringing the men all in, and there was gathered about twice the number he had jircsent when he sur rendered to my forces. AVhen asked for his transportation he said that he would show it to me, and out of tlie rivers and bay'ous he run down about one hundred canoes and flats, as the transportation he had to move his army with. It was at this time that he made that celebrated speech. AVien his .soldiers came in without bring ing their guns, as he had instructed them to do, bringing along old shot-guns and muskets tliat were of no use, he said if they were not satisfied with the generosity of this Government they should emi grate to Mexico, and he denounced more than half of them as being The Campaign in the West. soldiers whom he had never seen, stating that they had stayed in the brush and along the river-banks in Arkansas until the moss had grown upon their heads and backs. From this speech of his came the celebrated saying of "moss-backs." A part of my Corps fought under that gallant General, A. J. Smith, in the Banks campaign up the Red River, and there is no doubt but that his generalship and the fighting of the two Divi sions of the Sixteenth Corps saved that Army from a great defeat. The commander of one of his Divisions, General T. E. G. Ransom, was a school-mate of mine, and afterwards came to me in the Atlan ta campaign and commanded a Division under me in the Sixteenth Corps. When I look at the history of all of the operations west of the Mississippi River, and see their results, it is a great gratification to me to know that all the campaigns, except possibly the one of Banks, were victories for our side. AWien I returned to the command of the Department of the Missouri, in November, 1864, I found all the Indian tribes on the plains at war, occupying all the lines of communication through to the Pacific, and there was a great demand from the people upon the Government that those lines should be opened. General Grant sent a dispatch, asking if a campaign upon the plains could be made in the winter. Having spent eight or ten years of my life upon the plains before tlie war, I answered that it could, if the troops were properly fed and clothed. His answer to that was to place all the plains and Indian tribes within my command, instructing me to make an immediate campaign against them, and I had, therefore, to move the troops that were at Leavenworth, Fort Riley, and other points, onto the plains in mid-winter, and I think it was the Eleventh Kansas that had thirteen men frozen to death on the march to Fort Kearney. Those troops on that winter march up and down those stage- and telegraph-lines, in forty days opened them up, re paired the telegraph, and had the stages running. Then came the longer campaign of the next summer and next fall, where Gen eral Colo's command suffered so much, and also where General Con ner fought the Battle of Tongue River. I remember of the Indians capturing a company of ilichigan troops that were guarding a train that was going to Fort Halleck, loaded with rations and bacon. They tied some of the soldiers to the wheels of the wagons, piled the bacon around the wagons, and burned them up. A band of this The Campaign in the West. party of Indians was captured by a battalion of Pawnees, who were far north of them and got on their trail and surrounded the hand that had committed these atrocities. The chief of them, an old man, came forward and spoke to Major North, who commanded the Pawnees, and holding his hand up to his mouth he said that he was full of white men up to here, and was ready to die. The In dians virtually cleaned out the white people along the stage-lines they captured. I took from them a great many of their prisoners in the fall of 1865, when they came into Laramie to make peace, and the stories of the suffering of the women were such that it would be impossible to relate them. In connection with this campaign on the plains, it is a singular fact that nearly three thousand Confederates took part. When I took command at St. Louis I found the prisons full of Confederate prisoners. The war was then virtually at its end, and they were very anxious to be relieved from prison life, and as we needed forces on the plains, I obtained authority from the War Department to organize what was known as the United States Volunteers, and filled the regiments with these Confederate soldiers, placing over them as officers, men and officers selected from our own command, and thus organized a very effective force, which did excellent service on the plains, three-quarters of which remained in that country after the war was over.

A. R. Washington, D. C., October, 1902 By Major-General Grenville M. Dodge Comrades of the Army of the Tennessee: On the 28th of Augjist, 1861, General U. S. Grant was as signed to duty in command of the District of Southeast Missouri, with lioadquarters at Cairo, 111., and here commenced the organiza tion and growtli of the Army of the Tennessee. It remained under his personal command, or as a iiMit of his great Army, from the beginning until the end of the war, e.xcept for two short intervals, one after the great Battle of Donclson, and tlie other after the great er Battle of Shiloh, both of which he won, and gave the first great light and hope to our country; and it is hard now, after reading all the records, to understand the reasons for his being relieved. It appears to have been done through a misunderstanding, and with no intention of doing injustice to General Grant. Following General Grant as commander came General Sher man, a mend^er of the Army almost as long as General Grant. Gen eral Sherman was in direct command, or the Army served under him as a unit of his greater Army, from the time he assumed com mand until the end of the war After General Sherman came General McPhersou, that ideal soldier, who commanded the Armv until he fell in the great Battle of Atlanta, on the 22d of July.

He remained in command imtil the end of the Re bellion, and at the end of the war generously gave way to General Logan, so that one of its original members might command it at the great review here in Washington—an act that could come only from such a just and thoughtful soldier as Howard. 1 speak of our Army's commanders first, as an Army takes its habits and character from its head; and probably no other Army in the world was so fortunate as to have always at its head great sol diers and great commanders, recognized as such the world over— two of them the peers of any commander that ever stood up in a great conflict. The Army of the Tennessee covered more ground in its cam paigns tlian all the other Annies combined, and all its campaigns were marked by some great struggle, battle, or movement that chal lenged the admiration of the world. First came Fort Donelson, next Vicksburg, and following that Chattanooga, where it fought on both flanks in that great battle, one Division taking the point of Lookout Mountain above the clouds. Then came the Atlanta cam paign; following that the strategical march to the sea; and, finally, that bold movement from Savannah to Goldsboro, which is consid ered by the best critics as one of the boldest and best-planned cam paigns of histor}'—one in which every chance was taken, and every opportunity given the enemy to concentrate upon an inferior force. The record of this Army is probably the most satisfactory of any that ever existed, as it was harmonious in all its parts and had no jealousies, each of its units to the best of its ability helping the others. Again, it was modest; it struck blow after blow, and let the world sing its praises. All its campaigns were great successes, and it never lost a battle. All its Army, Corps, Division, and Bri gade commanders were exceptionally able men, and were seldom relieved except to assume more important commands. Its experi ences were more varied than any other Arm.y, for in its campaigns, battles, and marches, reaching from the Missouri River to the At lantic, at Washington, over a territory two thousand miles long and five hundred miles wide, it opened the Mississippi, it forced its way to the sea, it was reviewed by the Government of the nation here in this city, and it disbanded and the men went to their homes t, ■ **. •■'i . ■x: 461 The Army of the Tennessee. ^vithout causing an unpleasant comment or a painful thought in all this broad land. The Society of the Army of the Tennessee is endeavoring to perpetuate its history and memories by erecting here in this capital of our great nation monuments to the memor}' of its dead com manders which will place before the world not only their deeds, but the great events in which our Army took so important a part. First came General McPherson, as he was the first to fall, in the great Battle of Atlanta. He fell just after watching the attack in the rear on the Sixteenth Army Corps, which held the key to the situation. He was a dear friend of mine; and the last words he spoke were in praise of the fighting of that Corps. General Sher man, in reporting his death, spoke of him as follows: General llcPberson fell in battle, booted and spurred, as tbe sallant and heroic gentleman should wish. Not bis tbe loss, but tbe country's, and tbe army will mourn bis death and cherish bis memory as that of one who, though comparatively young, bad risen by bis merit and ability to tbe command of one of the best armies which tbe nation bad called into existence to vindicate her honor and integrity. History tells of but few who so blended tbe grace and tbe gentleness of tbe friend with the dignity, courage, faith and manliness of tbe soldier. His public enemies, even the men who directed tbe fatal shot, never spoke or wrote of him without ex pressions of marked respect. Those whom he commanded loved him even to idolatry, and I, his associate and commander, fail in words adequate to express my opinion of bis great worth. General McPherson was so clear to our old Army that the great victory at the Battle of Atlanta was never spoken of by our Army except to express our great grief at the loss of our com mander. His faith in what he could accomplish with our Army was unbounded. He spoke of us on July 4, 1863, as follows: With tirele.ss energy, with sleepless vigilance, by night and by day, with battery and with rifle-pits, with trench and mine, you made your sure approaches, until, overcome by fatigue and driven to despair in tbe attempt to oppose your irresistible progress, tbe whole garrison of over 30,000 men, with all their arms and munitions of war, have, on this, the anniversary of our National Independence, surrendered to tlie invincible troops of tbe Army of tbe Tennessee. The achievements of this hour will give a new meaning to this memorable day, and Vicksburg will brighten tbe glow of tbe patriot's heart which kindles at tbe mention of Bunker Hill and Yorktown. This is indeed an auspicious day for you. Tbe God of Battle is with you. The dawn of a conquered peace is breaking upon you. Tbe plaudits of an admiring world will bail you wherever you go, and it will be an ennobling heritage, surpassing all riches, to have been of tbe Army of tbe Tennessee pn tbe Fourth of July, 1863. Next we erected the statue, facing Pennsylvania Avenue, of General John A. Eawlins, who, above all, represented the organiza tion and spirit of our great Army, and who shared its fortunes The Army of the Texxessee. from beginning to end as Chief of Staff of its first and greatest commander. In 1873, upon the death of General Rawlins, General John A. Logan spoke of him thus: But there is one wliose toiiKue is now still in tleatli whose name I cannot forhear to mention; one who, tliough gone from our midst, is witli us in memory; for who can forget .Tohn A. Rawlins'? Faithful in every duty, true in every trust, though dead he is not forgotten; though gone forever, yet he will ever live in affectionate remembrance in the hearts of all who knew him. His name is woven in indelible colors in the history of our country, and is linked with a fame that is undying. General Eawlins, in giving a history of the Army of the Ten nessee, paid this tribute to it; In no army did the soldier enjoy greater liberty, consistent with mili tary discipline, than in the Army of the Tennessee, and in none were his rights and his life more carefully guarded. The subordination of the Army of the Tennessee to the iiolicies and acts of the Government affecting the institution of slavery in the prosecution of the war, is worthy of the highest commendation. It had no policy of its own to propose, hut went forth, as expressed by the legislative branch of the Government, to do battle in no spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of the States in rebellion; but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired. The Army of the Tennessee did great deeds in all the departments of the States" service, and individually and collectively illustrated in a peculiar manner the qualities of noble American character which gained success in the field, preserved its fruits by suhsequeut statesmanship, and by exalted virtue crowned victory with the attributes of peace and justice. In April, 1900, wo unveiled the beautiful and life-like monu ment to General John A. Logan, that brilliant, magnetic soldier, our comrade from Cairo to Loitisville. Of him, at the unveiling, President kleKinloy spoke as follows; Logan's career was unique. His distinction docs not rest upon his military achievements alone. His services in the Legislature of his own State, in the National House of Representatives, and in the Senate of the United States, would have given him an equally conspicuous place in the annals of the country. He was great in the forum and in the field. He came out of the war with the highest military honors of the volun teer soldier. Brilliant in battle and strong in military council, his was also the true American spirit, for when the war was ended he was quick and eager to return to the peaceful imrsuits of civil life. G-cmq-al Logan's love and devotion to ns only ended with his life, and at one of our reunions he characterized our work thus: The Army of the Tennessee was not limited in its scope; the theater of its operations and the extent of its marches, comprehending within their hounds an area greater than Greece and Macedonia in their palmiest days, and greater than most of the leading kingdoms of Europe at the present day, reached from the Missouri River on the north nearly to the Gulf of Mexico on the south, and from the Red River of Louisiana to the Atlantic Ocean. Tlie frienclsliip and loyalty of Sherman to Grant was the first great cause of the snccess of both, and for the harmony that exist ed in the Army of the Tennessee. Sherman fell under the com mand of Grant at Padncah, in the spring of 1862, holding a small command. Ho was the ideal soldier, as he dropped from a Depart ment and Arm}" commander to that of a post, and later a Division, without a jnurmnr. Sherman's first words to Grant, on February 15, 1862, were these: I should like to hear from j-ou, and will do everything in my power to hurry forward to you reinforcements and supplies, and if I could be of service myself would gladly come without making any question of rank with you or General Smith, whose commissions are of the same date. On the same date he wrote again: Command me in any way. I feel anxious about you, as I know the great facilities they [the enemy] have of concentration, by means of the river and railroads, but have faith in you. The monument to our old commander. General Sherman, is nearly complete. It is upon these grounds we expect to unveil it next October, and, as President of the.Society of the Army of the Tenne.ssee, and as President of the Commission which has in charge the erection of the monument, I give you a cordial invita tion to be present. You will receive due notice, and proper arrange ments will be made for the occasion, and you will meet here your comrades of.the Armies of the Cumberland, the Potomac, and the Ohio, wlio have already signified their intention of being present to honor tlie memory of our old commander. And now, my comrades, it is with the greatest satisfaction that I say to you tliat after seven years' Continued effort, this year we obtained an ap])ropriation from Congress of $250,000 to be used in the erection of a monument upon these grounds to General IT. S. Grant, (and the model for it will soon be selected,) to this modest, cliaritabic, and Just soldier and statesman. The whole world has given its tribute. From those whom wo fought and defeated have come tl'.e most gallant words of praise and touching sympathy. President Lincoln, above all others, recognized his power and ability when he handed him his commission and gave him command of all the Armies, and assured him that he should not in any way inter fere with him.—armed him with all the powers of the President, with carte hianche to use them as he saw fit. Grant made his an swer at A])pomattox, liringing peace to our nation and gratitude to the concpiered. General Grant was a man of few words, and when ;Wr: ■\ ' '''^■••• The Army of the Tennessee. called upon to speak of the Armj' of the Tennessee, paid it this tribute: As an Army, the Army of the Tennessee never sustained a single de feat during four years of war. Every fortification which It assailed sur rendered. Every force arrayed against it was eitlier defeated, captured, or destroyed. No officer was ever assigned to the command of that Army who had afterwards to be relieved from it. or to be reduced to another command. Such a history is not accident. And now, mj comrades, one of our numher who has left us hy an assassin's hand, whose heart, words and acts were ever for us, who from a Major in our Army became the best-loved President of our nation. Comrade William McKinley, at one of our gather ings paid this tribute to you: It is recorded that in eighteen montlis' service the Army of the Ten nessee captured 80,000 men, with flags and arms, including 600 guns—a greater force than was engaged on either side in the terrible battle of Chickamauga. From the fields of triumph in the Mississippi Valley it turned its footsteps towards the eastern seaboard, brought relief to the forces at Chat tanooga and Nashville, pursued that peerless campaign from Atlanta to the seaboard under the leadership of the glorious Sherman, and planted the banners of final victory on the parapets of Fort McAllister. It is said that the old Army of the Tennessee never lost a battle and never surrendered a flag. Its Corps badges—"forty rounds" of the Fifteenth Corps; the fleeting arrow of the Seventeentli Corps; the disc, from which four bullets have been cut, of the Sixteenth Corps—are all significant of the awful business of cruel war. all of them suggestive of the missiles of death. It gave the Federal Army Grant. Slierman, and Sheridan ; McPherson, Howard, Blair, Logan, Hazcn, .lohn E. Smith, C. F. Smith, Ilalleck, Rawlins, Prentiss, Wallace, Porter. Force. Leggett, Noyes, Hiekenlooper, C. C. Walcutt, and your distinguished President, who flamed out the very incarnation of soldierly valor before the eyes of the American people; all have a secure place in history and a secure one in tlie hearts of their coun trymen. On this anniversary, as my closing words to you, two verses of General John Tilson's tribute are most appropriate: Ho! comrades of the brave old band, we gather here once more. With smiling eye and clasping hand, to fight our battles o'er. To quaff from out the brimming cup of old-time memory. And bright relight the pathway of our old Tennessee. As myriad sparks of war's romance our meetings warm inspire; The heady fight, the anxious march, the jolly bivouac fire; The days of doubt, of hope, of care, of danger, and of glee; Oh, what a world of racy thought illumines Tennessee! Our roster thins; as years pass on we drop off one by one; Ere long, too soon, to yearly call, there will be answer—none; Then as along the record page tliese mourning columns creep. The whisiier comes to closer still our living friendships keep. Another thought we forward cast to that not distant day. When left of all our gallant band will be one veteran gray. And here's to him who meets alone—wherever he may be. The last, the lone survivor of the grand old Tennessee. ' : ■ ' 463 Paris, 2 October 1902, My dear General, I had the pleasiire of receiving the letter you were good enough to write me just as I was leaving New xork. I v/as sorry not to find you at home when i tried to see you to have a farewell talk and say good bye, 1 am much ol liged for the pamphD.et "Personal Recollections of General Sherman".

The War produced few men as gallant and ad loyal. i had a lor.g talk with Root, who came over with me upon my urging and spent some time .vith me at my house here, l recalled the arguments you had so forcibly and fearlessly made in behalf of the deserving officers in the Philippines and for which every soldier is indebted to you and ap reciates fully that you have been Imost his only public champion.

R. A. Alger Gen. G. M. Dodge, #1 Broadway, New York City, N.

I send you his appeal for a pass. Can j'^ou help me in iny way to get him this well deserved favor? He needs it and has well earned it. I am surprised that the railroad company has not had the appreciation to give him this slight recognition in his great work. You know him well, and I am sure will sympathize with ray desire to gain him this privelege. General G. M. Dodge, 1 Broadway, New York (Enclosure) Sincerely yours. James S, Clarkson 471 October 15, 1902 New York v^ity,-October 15, 1902 My dear General: On my return from Washington I found yours of October 2nd. I spent a week at the i^iational Encampment in '''^a.hington, and had a very pleasant time. It was the first Natinnai Encampment of the Grand Army that ever attended, andalL the different organizations I am connected with were there, and gave me a very hearty reception. Matters in this country are just now in rather a critical condition, althourh I am hoping Mitchell will accept the proposed arbitration and close the coal business. The orierators lost their cause by waiting three nonths without making any endeevor to mine coal. I have been in a great many strikes, as you know, andnever allowed one to start without preparing to have soneone go to work next day, but the operators here seemed to think the men would go back of tJ;eir own motio n. In the begin :ing of the strike I tried to convince them they were making a mistake, and they see it now, and have been forced to go to arbitrati -n and virtually give 9p their fight. However, I do not thing there is so very much in their position when you see the national organizations there are all over the country in al1 professions and trades that reiateto labor. We have to go to the natinal president for everything on the foot board, enginners and firement and trainmen, and the trades roganizations have finally got us in for nearly all meci.anics. It is a serious matter, and where it wilt finall^; end I do not know. The trades are much more effective in their organization, and making .much greater demands in cities than anywhere else. t V Root has been oi' great aid to the President in the strike and if it is settled it will be largely through his influence. He is a very able man, and a very level-headed one, and is of great help to the ^'resident. The country looks upon the President's action in this matter in a very friendly way. Of course there are n.any things to be said about such actions, but out people are growing so that they think if we could.go to war to eep somebody in Cuba.from starving the President of the United States has a right to take acticn on the question of our freezing to death for want of fuel, and on the stump anyone with your eloquence cculd make thrt very plain. We buried Williamson in Rock Hill Cemetery. He had a cancer on the 1 ver. I am going to write an article for publication by the "-"tate of Iowa, and will send it to you. He really never had credit for what he did. i*'-c'tter3 in the Philippines have settled down so we never hear anything now. They are more ;eaceable there than they are in our own cou try. 472 I believe we will carry the ne;-t House of Hepresentatives • but there are a great many questions arising in different'districts that may h.urt us. '■'■f.e coal strike may hurt ushere in the East, though 1 doubt it, because the poor people here are getting coal cheaper than they Had it before. General and Irs. F. D. Grant have transferred to the Grant N''onumient Association all the resolutions and actions of the different States, corporations, municipalities etc. upon the death of General Grant--a great many of them in iine conditi n and framed. 'ihe others we will put in sh.ape and place them in the tonb in the alcoves, and perhaps the framed ones outside. 1'hey will attract a good deal of attention, and -L know you will be glad to learn of this. I would be glad to know how "inslow is getting on. Iviss Haidee "illiaiison tlad ii;e she had a very lovely letter fran him on the General's death. VviHiamson did not leave much, but his wife, youknow, was well-off, and when she dies will no doubt have made such provision as will take ctre of those of the fanily who need assistance. The one esp,ecially who should be ta cen care of is Haidee, who was her father's favorite, and is as you know a very deserving woman. I trust you are in good health and enjoying your stay over there, though it will be a piece ofgood news when we hear that you are coming here to stay with us. all miss you; there is nobody here to take your place, and this is o ten spoken of. We need a leader here in all the things you take an interest in. However, -we will n.ake the best oi it until the country can get alopg with out you in France. I notice our officers over there have been having a good tine, and am glad of it. Truly and cordially yours, G . t . Podge . General Kor'ace Porter, Paris, France. ■- J ' n 473 October, 1902. New York City, October 16, 1902 dear Henderson: Your letter of Hepternber 17th in answer to rr.y telop;ram caine during my absence on a tiip to Vancouver, and I only returned from there in time to go to VJashington and spent the week at the National Encampment. It was the first Encampn.ent I ever attended, and as I was a delegate from Iowa I felt it incunbent on mie to be tb.ere. I read your letter very carefiilly, and wi:ile ^ regret very n'luch to see you step out of political life, still I am not going to criticise in natters that I do not understand. There is one tb.ing certain, people, esijecially here in the East, give you credit for - having laid down a great future in supp;or-t of a principle, as they m;ake a vast difference here between your position and the lo^a platformi. I admit that I cann; t see miuch difference between your posi tion and that of Allison, or that of any of the others who have ex plained it, but whether there is a difl'ertnce or not, people in the East generally assume that there is and praise you for the position that youtake, though they would have preferred to have you stick and fight it out. I hope that you are enjoying yourself. There is one satisfaction to rue in the matter, andthat is I think we will get a chance to see more of you during the sun.mers, and be together more, so what will be soii.e peoples loss n^ay be my gain. I shall see you in 'Washington early in December, and want to talk over with you a great many things. In the first place, I must select somie person to nake the address at the unveiling of the Sher man statue for the Army of the i'ennessee, and my mdnd is settled on you, but I do not want you to write me and say "no" until 1 see you. You know the three armies are to be there, also the ^resident, and it will be a great occasion and a great statue. I only put this into your mind so you will not be surprised. If you speak for the Army of ti;e Tennessee you will have to nake the principal oraticm. There will also be someone to speak'forthe Armies of the Potomas and Cumberland, and the President will make an address if he is present, which I have no doubt of. As you will be free from, political duties I know you v/lll, attend the meeting of the old Army at that time. So far as I can see, political matters here look favorable. There was a great deal of noise here about the coal strike, but I have never felt that it would affect us niaterially. The President and Ndtchell have succeeded in settling- it for the present, which will have a good affect. Let n.e know when you are going to be in New York, and what your movements are. Truly and cordially yours, G. M. Dodge.. Hon. D. B. Pienderson, Atlantic City, N.J. 475 Oct., 1902 Brooklyn Borough, N. Y. City, Oct. 16, 1902 General G. M. Dodge, 1 Broadway, New York City. My dear General;- I have not the heart to tell Gen. Sickles of the dis position of his application and the fate which I am sure confronts it at the next meeting. You can do so, and the better explain the efforts made in his behalf. Before the next meeting I shall prepare some resolutions to take the sense of the Commandery in respect to this Italian method of lurking in the dark and stabbing the victim in the back. I shall show it to you and others before.taking any action. Three men were blackballed last night against whom, as I understand it, no objection were made to the Committee of Investigation who reported favorable in each case. This is an outrage which will certainly react upon the Commandery and deter any man of importance from applying for Membership. I shall certainly not be willing to recommend any one else. Gen. Gickles has an office down town I think at 135 Broadway where he comes 2 or 3 days a week, but you can get him on the telephone at his residence 23 Fifth Avenue. Sincerely yours. Horatio C. King 477 October, 1902 Personal My dear General;- No.l Broadway, New York October 16, 1902 As it was at my solicitation that you signed the applica tion for membership in the Loyal Legion, it is due to you from me that t I should explain the circumstances that controlled the action of myself and those who signed your application, and caused us to withdraw the application after it had received the unanimous endorsement of the committee that reviewed the applications. We discovered that there were a few people in the Commandery who had determinedfor personal reas ons to vote against you, and we did not propose to give them that satis faction. When we first ascertained this. General Swayne wrote a letter to the leader, in the strongest terms, appealing to his sense of justice, 3nd in fact, to the rules of the Commandery, which, in my opinion, they violate when they vote against an officer who has an honorable discharge from the army, on account of a personal grievance of their o..n, and in this case so far, as we could learn every one was a personal grienance, so it is not a matter that need give you any concern. The loss is not yours but the Commandery*s but I am greatly astonished and chagrined that any body of soldiers should have among them persons who would oppose you for membership for purely personal reasons. However your case is not the only one, for I am told that on the list with you were three names which were not withdrawn and were rejected. Low my dear General, I wish to say that we have withdrawn this nomination for further consideration, but will not present it amain unless we know this opposition is mollified or withdrawn. Some^'time when I see you I can explain further. General King took up the matter openly in the Commandery, and a very full house. He read General Swavne's letter to this companion, and evidently had the sympathy of every person in the room except three or four. He made a very effective statement, and there were one or two Others, persons I did not know, but not those who recommended you, made speeches in your favor, but the ones who opposed you made themselves known to the Commandery, and stated that nothing would change their views. I wish to say that in my opinion your standing before the Commandery has been greatly aided rather than harmed by the action of these few men, because the reasons for their actions fully!"" officers present appreciated them Very cordially yours. General Daniel Gickles, 135 Broadway, New York City Grenvllle M. Dodge, October, 190<:i New York City, October 16, 1902 Ky dear Kr. President: 1 was greatly gratified this morning; to see in the papers the results of your hard work and anxiety in the coal matter. I could see so plainly when in '"ashington your great desire to bi-ing about a,settlement that 1 was fully convinced it would soon come. I can say to you that there is a much better feeling here among the operators and their friends towards you than there has been hereto fore. They begin to ai;preciate your motives, and the work you have done. 'i'here is no doubt that in selecting General V'ilson you secured a very competent nian for such v.ork. I speak from personal knowledge, for I served with him on a commission for six months, and know his aptmiess in such niatters, as well as his fairness and the justice with which he looks at everything. I have no doubt the rest cf the Coriiriiissicn is of the same character. I think miy friend Secretary Root is also to be congratulated in the matter. I hear but one opinion expressed by everyone, and that is a favorable one. I see that you are out, squarely upon your feet, which is also a subject for congratualtion. Very respectfully yours, Grenville bodge. Ron. Theodore Roosevelt, President of tl^e United States, Washington, D. C. 481 October, 1902. New York City, October 17, 1902, Personal. My dear General: ^ As it was at my solicitation that you signed the a pplication I'or menibership in the Loyal Le, ion, it is due to you from me that i should explain the circunstances that controlled the action of myself and those who signed your application, that caused us to withdraw the application after it had received the unanimous endorse ment of the comnittee that reviewed the applications . «Ve discovered that there were a few people in the commandery who had determined for personal reasons to vote against you, andwe did not propose to give them that satisfaction.

However, your case is not the only one, for am told that on the list with you were three names which were not v.ithdrawn but were rejected. i^ow, my near General, 1 wish to say that we have withdrawn this nomination for further consideration, but will not present it again unless we know this opposition is mollified or withdrawn. Some time when I see you I can explain further. General King, took up the matter openly in the Gomm.andery, and a very full house. He read General Swayne's letter to this compainion, and evidently had the sympathy of every person in the room, except three or lour. He made a very effective statement, and there were one or two others persons I did not kn w, made speeches in your favor, but the ones who opposed you made themselves known to the Comniandery, andstated that nothing would change their views. I wish to say that in my opinion your standing before the Comimandery has been greatly aided rather than harnied by theaction of these few m.en, because the reasons for their actions were so patent and so unjust that every officerpresent appreciated them fully. Very Cordially yours. Grenville M. Dodge. General Daniel E. Sickles, 23 fifth Avenue, New York City, 483 October, 1902 23 Fifth Ave., New York, October 18, 1902 Gen'l. Grenville M. Dod^^e, • 1 Broadway, New York My dear General;- I am p:reatly indebted to you for your kind letter of the 17th-instant. As you may, perhaps, have seen in the "Herald" of yesterday, I had already heard something of what happened Wednesday evening, at the Loyal Legion meeting, Pairman had reason, accbrding to the impulses of human nature, to feel vindicative towards me, as I had disciplined him severely in the early part of *61, when he tried by intrigue, and without my know ledge, to force himself into the command of one of my regiments, by holding what he called an "election " for Colonel. I sent for him and told him that he had sneaked into my command secretly and would be kicked out publicly, which I proceeded to make good.' I have never seen or heard of him since,-- more than forty years ago. Of course, as you know very well, no officer can command a regiment and a brigade and a division and a corps and departments, without finding it necessary to discipline a good many worthless characters. This has happened to me, as to other commanding officers, and I must accept the penalties involved in the discharge of duty, I thank you and General Swayne and General King and other friends with all my heart, for your good feeling and solicitude in my behalf. ' When the "Herald" reporter came down to my house about midnight and pulled me out of bed to interview me about the affair, I took occasion to hand^^him a copy of Longstreet's letter to me, for insertion in the Herald , in order that its readers might know what one of my old enemies thinks of me, in these latter days. So I fancy I turned the incident to good account, as the "Herald" gave a conspicuous insertion to Lono-street*s letter, I don't know anything of the regulations of the Loyal Legion, but it seems to me that a fellow like Pairman, who goes about talking to newspapers of what happens in the meetings of the Legion, ought to be disciplined, as I cannot believe that such conduct could be permitted by so honorable and discreet a body as the Legion. Freedom of expression should, of course, be allowed within the walls of the Societv but to make pblic what happens there is not done by the Legioritseif ^ and should not be allowed when done by individual members, ' ' Again thanking you for your friendly regard, believe me, ■^^ery sincerely yours, Hickels 485 Octo'ber I8th, I90E. Washington, Octoher I8th, I90E. HO. 1773 Mass.Ave.N.W. My dear General Dodge: I thank you most sincerely for your very kind and cordial letter of the I6th inst. My experience upon the War Commission, under your able supervision, will be of great advantage to me upon this still more important work to which I have been assigned and I shall use my utmost efforts to see that absolute Justive is done to all vho are interested in the great problem committed to our Commission.

My dear General;- I have taken the liberty to have some copies made from the most elegant picture which I have of you, mounted on the charger; representing you and the noble animal just as you appeared on the day of the dedication of the Grant Tomb. How much I admire, esteem and appreciate the same, words cannot possibly convey to you. I am so glad that my daughters had the pleasure of meeting you at our reunion in Detroit, two years ago. They consider your picture a wonderfully true likeness; and when you and I have long left for the unknown beyond, the picture will ever remain the most valuable token of friendship of a much honored— and I may say, worshipped-- army friend of their father. I have had several copies made like the one I mail you todav under a separate cover— one for my office; one I have sent to your" ' good daughter, my esteemed friend Mrs. Beard, Port Worth; and I have handed a few to some of my old army friends here, who know you onlv by reputation and esteem you highly. ^ ^ .. . ^ thought you might desire to give some copies like the one mailed you today, to some of your intimate friends of the Army of the Tennessee or the Loyal LeRlon; and I have arranged that tSrjhoLg^anher one-half ?he ^e^la^'pMoe'.

Dear Sir:- I received yours of October 17th on my return here, and read it today at the meeting of the Executive Committee. It was very intersting and gave us a gread deal of information which we were gid to rece ■© especially it was all good, • 'o. , My trip to Vancouver was- quite an experience for ne , It was an eye-opener in some things, especially in relation to the countrv from Winnipeg to the mountains, about seven hundred miles, and running from the south line of Canada north to the Peace River, some eight hundred miles. This country lying next to the mountains is entirely different from our similarly located, because it has plenty of water and plenty of rains, and is nearly all subject to cultivation without irrigation. There is perhaps from one hundred to two hundred miles that might requiuv. irrigation, but if it does there is plenty of water and wells. This is the country that is now being settled. The best wheat raised in Canada this year was on Peace River. The Canadian Pacific, as you will see by .their lines, is covering all the southern portion of this country, and the Canada Northern is pushing up by the Saskatchiwan through Yellow Horse Pass and on to Fort Simpson on Puget Sound, whi'ch will give all thdo country even as far north as Peace River, good railroad transportation. I found in there a very large number of Americans, They have had five good crops. This year their crop runs from thirty to forty bus_hels of wheat, and oats and barley in same proportion,' Their season is late, I was through there the latter part of September and their wheat was sll in the shock, so that corn is not raised, and oats generally as fodder, but it is a great vegetable country, I thought I knew" -that country pretty well, but its development is a wonder to me. I rode through solid wheat farms for almost three hundred miles west of winnipec^ and they are will prepared to take care of it, for at every station t]iev°' have about five elevators, and they have a storage room on their bran ches for sixteen million bushels, and at Port Arthur they have room for ten million more, and are at work there doubling this capacity. This wheat all has to be got out by the way of Port Arthur in the course of a month or two, and the balance has to lay there until the next sprina:, so when they get seventy million bushels of grain there they are pretty G ^ A D ^ O CIC G d • The Canadian. Pacific is in advance of our transcontinental lines in the attention they give their travellers at their hotels and mountain resorts. They had four times as many people this year as they could accommodate, ar-d are enlarging every one of their hotels, some of them to double their present cajjacity and some of them to four times. I saw a good "many Americans that had been up to the hotels this summer, in with their great hotel at Prontenac and ending with their hotel in V.-'ncouver, the capacity of which they are now doubling. 4ri0 They have another advantage in having the finest steamship line running to Jap-n and China. I went aboard the Empress of India and took luncheon with the officers, and never had better attention, service or meal on any fteamship I have ever travelled on, and the meal was not specially prepared for anybody, I find a great many of our- officers go ing to Manila go up there to take these ships on account of the accomodations. They give our officers going to Manila the same rates as they do British officers, which is another indrcement. HillV'with the Northern Pacific^ is trying to push into that country but has not made much headway. The way they have developed tie mountain regions, using the lakes etc. is very interesting. Their mountains "are all bunched together in one range, and whilr the grades are steep the work is very light. I never saw such fine mountain slopes to climb as they have. They go along with no heavier work than they have on the plains. Their great and costly work is after th^y leave the Ottawa River through that rocky and lake country north of and along Lake Superior. Every mile or two is a liake, and the •country is mostly bare rocks ai-.d lakes. If it was near New York or Chicago everyone would have a lake and country residence. The scenery is beautiful but there is no businers. There is a distance there of two hundred and fifty miles that I should think cost ^100,000 ner Sdy._ This part of the William country Van has Home no local told trade, m it took'the though occasionally entire suboi- 'I a mine is opened. If you have never been over the Canadian Pacific you should take your car and go to California and come back over that line;- it would be an eye-opener to you. farmers. « The About Canadian thirty Pacific thousand has have sold gone an immense in there arount this of year, land and to atour principal points I safou^ people from Illinois, lOwa, ^.ebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Dakota and vViscon<='in un there buying lands on which to settle.

There is ^ no large doubt ranch, in my and mind saw that many before of his lon^ cattle it willwhich the Colorado & .Southern to push to a connection with that^ountrv The Canadian Pacific has schemes which I think would interest us when ey begin to develop, and from which we can get connections with them. 491 Hill is developinf^into that country right up to the border at a great many different places, in fact has'gone up into the Crow's nest country for coal. They have anthracite, bituminous and coking coal, but it lies in the mountains just north of our border, and about on the longitude cf Salt Lake. I -suppose you know what is" going on in the Fuel Company matters here. Our friends have bought quite a large amount of stock, and Mr. C-ouldhas bought a great deal. So far as I can see as yet Mr. Harriman has not bought any, or has Gates' party; they seem to be out. It seems te be the plan- for the Colorado railroads to take a prominent interest in t^.e property, with the view of having its business properly developed and distributed. The interests in our company will probably go into the election with "from thirty to forty thousand shares. So far as I can sco there is no effort to get control, and I do not think those comoanies want it. I judge they will be satisfied with any management that is best for the property. I see no-disposition to interfere with the pres ent management, except there is a general feeling that at the head of tbe steel-departm.ent there should be a very competent, practical, experienced man, more so than anyone they have had. I think there is also a feeling that it would have been much better to have taken all the money they have spent revamping that old mill, and v/hile keening that running, have built an entirely new ohe independent of it.' There is much criticism about the way the machinery is lying "out there, and the general block of matters, but as Mr. Osgood has explained it to me, i do not see that the people out there are very much to blame. I suppose it is exactly like the experience we have had in Cuba where so, e of the contracts we madeifor coming in now, and they have sent us parts of things--not complete things. I hope your health is good, also that of Mrs. Trurabull. I had a letter from my sister in \h/hlch she says Mrs. Trumbull has been soUu... When you come to consider the questions of the Port worth & Denver and the Colorado & Southern, which I have been thinking over a good deal, wo /ill have to get some broad method of taking up some of P-^P^rtles as we need them, r '7 more satisfied than ever that we should take the '-^ichita Valley and extenv. it, and possibly there may be other places, and the plan should be com prehensive enough so that we could build north if we wanted to T have ?n in that direction. ® It would be a very things diwicult get cheaper matter we to win get be un looking the Po worth & Denver bonds. It is possible we can get in the stamped stoSk possibly get in the bonds by giving a new bond that would equal it in value. As you are handy in sLi Lt?ers^ -oi had better think it over. I have some iu ea myself, and when we get together perhap- we can work out a scheme by which we can bring the two properties into one and make such additions as we think best. I have no fear of the San Francisco hurting us—I think it will help us, es soci ally ^hen they get their line extended east, if they do, to New Oriearic Financially I think they are very much extended there, and borrowing a great deal of mon/y, or having a great many of their securities carried. I an not &s well posted on this as some others, but it has been hinted to me sevfiral times that this is the case, and if we had any serious troubles it might keep them from completing their projects. However I hope they will be able to close up their line going east into the timber or down to New Orleans. Cf cburse the line of the Santa Fe to Albur-Tierque'avoiding .^he-Rat toon Range is a good project, and the proposition of the Rock Island Choctaw Branch to connect up with their line is a good one, because it lets it south as well as east. Mr. Riplej writes Mr. Berwind that everything, so far as they are concerned,, is prosperous and they are lacking about eight hundred cars per day to handle their business. I suppose that comparatively you are not much better' off, and this seems to be the condition of ever'^'one. f ^ Goal'hiines out West seem just now to be valuable, and as they go up in price I suppose you will go up in rates. I have been looking for them to raise the price of coal to the railroads for some time, as comparatively the price has been very low, and, so far, as I know, there xiQ-s bGGH no advanc sincG the first price was made* Perhaps you. can save something by taking mine run. It looks as though with everything that railroads use going up in price our rates should also go up. I see by the papers that you are having meetings with the smelters out there, and hope you can come to a settlement with thBm that 'ill be beneficial to the pronerties. There re^liv nr»o +, you to figure in that-country, Mr. Gould and yourself. Lid so far I can s e, there is a dispostion here to work in harmony. ^ Thanking you for your 1-ong letter, and the information it gave Very t uly yours, G. Dodge. October, 1902 493 Buffalo, N. Y.

Dear Genl;- I exceedingly regret my inability to acknowledge the receipt of the Books you so kindly sent me. I do not know how to thank you for your kind remembrance of me. I have read all in them and put them away for my children to read especially Granville named for you. My: wife called my attentibhr tojyotir''fiSme in the papers some time ago telling me our boy was named wrongfully, telling me she read you name as Grenville. While we had his name recorded in Cook County, Granville Mallon Dodge, should I live to see you I will find out from you and have it corrected. Dear General I thank j/'ou most cordially for your kindness and I don't know a man on Earth but will say the same. Poor Kinsman that you done so much for, he was a good man and I recollect him so well while he was Capt. of Company B, 4th Iowa as it is known all through the United States as the gallant 4th Iowa but much of this is due to the Commander of the gallant Regiment. I remember Poor Kinsman from the fact he used to come down to your headquarters at Rolla, Mo., and stay there until after you went to your^house. Many nights he sat smoking his pipe after you had gone and asked me if he was keeping me out of bed. You have done for him what the whold state of Iowa will willingly do for you but with regrets that you have gone. You have left a Monument that will live for all time to come to your memory and that is the Union Pacific R. R. In regards to General Sherman, I am glad to think as my commander thinks one of the greatest of the age, you are right and has always been. General Sherman alwavs made good selections in regnrds his Corps Commanding, he never compared General Logan to you and he done right to give graduates Preference as I have always understood you was a graduate of the famous Capt. Partridge Military School and he a graduate of West Point. When I look, as boy soldier back to 1864, when a rebel sharp shooter shot you so cruelly on the 21st day of August before Atlanta. Georgia, and when Genl. Sherman come in your tent with his own Dr. Kidd I except the Colored man.

Dodge. 497 Chicago, 111, uctober 26th, 1902', Gen. Grenville M. I^odge, No. 1 Broadway, K.i:. My dear General: * I have read your letter of October 20th and the enclosures with great interest. You ■ are certainly correct in stating that the Battle of Atlanta was the great fight of that Campaign. Your letter and address shed a great deal of light on the details of that bloody conflict. It seems to me clear that the first attack fell on the 16th Corps. It may be that General Blair's hospital was captured before your line was reached. In my account of the Battle I quote largely from your, report and also from Gen'l. Blair's report vol. 74, pg, 545 where he states that he "witnessed" the first furious assault made on the 16th A.o. and its prompt and gall nt repulse by that uomm-nd. X am satisfied that the 17th A. u. was not yet engaged--! think Gen'l. Sherm-^n fell into an error in his report ¥ol'. 72 Pg. 73 when he said "hardee's Corps had sallied from Atlanta and by n wide circuit to the East had struck General Blair's left flank, surprised it, and his left had swung around until it hit vj-enerai -odge in motion —. rom the reports, gather that you marched to the position when you was attacked, halted, closed up, and directed uen. oweeny to remain and await orders. Gen. .^lair says your column halted on the clay road to await your return and that you had gone to the front to select a position on his left for "your «orp , X am glad to receive your letter. ^ will review my account of the x^attle in the light of your letter, address, and papers you cite.-- -.f we were called upon to do our work over again, with the experience wc had during the war and the examin tions we have raaae oi reports sin-e the war we -ould no doubt observe gre ater care in keeping a record of events. But in thh case a comp'^rison and study of the report brings out the facts quite clearly. The position of the IGth Corps on that day was most fortunate, it forced General H ardee to divide his Gorps. If he could have fallen on the 17t,h Corps with his whole fore and have been promptly aided by an ass^lt fro the works around Atlanta it would have been a terrible day for the 17Lh A. U. ,ut I have no doubt the Army of the Tennessee would have been able to take care of themselves . 1 return the article of signal officer Allen. Thanking you for your letter and wishin:'- you health and happiness, I remain. Very truly yours. Green B. Raum. 499 October, 1902, New York City, October 27,. 1902. Personal. korgan Jones, Esn., Wichita Palls, Texas. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of yours of October 25th enclosing the order on Kuntze for the Cuba bonds. They tell me there will be no more assessinents on the Viest -Virginia Central syndicate, which I trust is true. -They claim, to have financdd the matter' now. However, you never can tell about those things . At the request of the Goulds I have gone into the Bowling Green Trust Con;pany. George Gould was n.ade a director at the same tiii.e as myself. If you have any business in New York, or any m.oney here, I think it would be a good idea for you to deposit there. They are very strong and•conservative and are carrying no loads, and onlyloan their money on good miarketable securities. They have about eight hundred depositors here and three hundred banks, and you know an institution with George, Edwin and Frank Gould in it will never get into trouble. If you have any friends in that country that want to do business with a New York Trust Company send them to this one. They pay interest on accounts according to the kind of accounts from two to three percent. They do all kinds of trust business, and if necessary would loan money for banks or depositors. I would like to bring some of my friends into it as customers now that 1 have gone in myself. Please bear this in mind. I saw kcHarg Saturday. I think he feels differently about our line, though he thinks they are building altogether toom.uch in that country, and when a little frost couies many of themi will go to pieces. He said it cost him lOO^j more to build then it should. I told him we had given up building until material got cheaper. I should like to hear from you from Wichita Falls the condition of rriatters. I notice theearnings of the Fort Worth & Denver are increasing very heavily. You can tell something of the demand there when J give you the contracts that are out. There is being delivered to the road now 7 Union Pacific engines, 8 wheels, cylinders 18 a 26. 7 new locomotives come in December and January and ten new locomotives com^e in Lay, June and July. 200 stock cars come in January and February. On the Colorado & Southern they have 15 locomotives coming in April and kay. 250 ingoldsby dump cars in Fay. 150 standard box cars in July. 150 steel coke cars to come in April. Business out there is pressing us. 500 I am trying to get the corn, any to take up the question of getting out some secruity that will cover the i'ort Worth Denver, Colorado Douthern, Wichita Valley, etc. including the stamped stock of the Fort Worth & Denver, and provide for taking up the Fort Worth & Denver bonds at whatever their value is, so as to get the whole concern under one management,, and have it flexible so if we v.ant to build north fron. Orrin Junction we will have something to do it with. What they will whip out I do not know. This inforniation you must consider as confidentail. If you see Trumbull he may talk to you about it. There isquite a contest going-on here in the Fuel Company, but I think the Colorado & Southern and other roads will probably have an interest in it, and work it in harmony. That at any rate is what we want. The Colorado & Southern interests are nov/ heavy hold ers of the stock. Very truly yours, S. M. Dodge . . r t''' • 'o ♦' 501 6btt)t)er 1902 October 28, 1902 Genl.

During those days so filled with historic history, especially for the natives of the town. Not only were you and your brother and sister much in the thoughts of each member of my family but the father and mother who in their early life settled in Danvers. Although so many years have come and gone yet they are remembered as among our best townspeople. We very much regretted that you could not occupy the seat to which you were invited as one of the most honored guests.

Arndt ;<t ^ ■ ' ♦ ' , ^'5'. y ■ ■505 October, 1902, New York City, October 30, 1902 ^';y dear Kr. Secretary: Before you conpleted your report to Congress upon the War Department, Xintended to take up with you the question of the purely military colleges outside of V'est Point. It seems to me that if it is your desire to aid the army, and build up a class of iiien outside of "^est Point wl:o are fitted to take positions in the army, that the United Otates should give more encouragement to the colleges that are purely military'in their system of education and training. There are many schools that de vote some attention to drill, etc. that do not make a specialty of mil itary training. Take for instance Norwich University, which was purely a military college before the Civil 'Aar, and all it has had is the support of the State of Vermont. Its standing in the Civil W^r was second only to that of '''est Point, and if number's are taken^ into consideration, it possible would equal it. Both Grant and Sherman always selected cadets fromi that university next to West Point, and such was also the case on the Confederate side. These colleges are always sir.rll and poor. People do not toke to them, but the students that graduate from then,, no niatter what walk of life they go into, invariably mieet with success. As a general rule they go into the sciences, and take a prominent position in them. Especially is this the case in engineering.» By in some way aiding them the Govern ment could build u^ a system that could be depended upon. For in stance, suppose they gave the cadets fron. these military colleges preference in appointmients to the army after 'est Point. This would be an inducenient for a great many to enter these colleges and thoroughly prepare themselves. If yu will consult th^records, you will find that the officers you h&ve appointed from civil life to the army that have comie from such institutions as Norwich Univer sity, stand much higher than those taken generally froni civil life,, and the reason for this is that after lour years of training in military discipline, and the scientific education they receive, they are well fitted for a military life. They are loyal to their Government, they respect power and are obedient to orders, no matter from where they come. I know you take great interest in these matters, andthis is my excuse for writing and calling your attention to them. I also have a personal interest in the miatter, for I am myself a graduate of Norwich University, and, therefore, know of what I speak. In the Civil '-ar and in the Spanish War a very large number of Norwich University cadets participated--in the Civil Wer all of them, which necessitated closing the institution for a year or two. The records of the university show that 517 of its cade Is were officers in the United States service. Among these there were 6 Major Generals, 506 8 Bri£,adier Generals, 16 .Brevet Brigadier Generals, 35 Colonels, 34 Lieutenant Colondls , ■24'*iv.a jors, etc. In.other words, there were 467 officers in the army and 50 in the navy. I refer onlyto - officers.-'- I'have no statement of the record of the University in the Spanish 'Aar, but a large number of its cadets took part. Since you have been Secretary of '■•fr you have appointed se\eral of its cadets to the regular arniy, and I know that in two of these cases you waived slight defects on account of the services and records of these cadets. I could io on and quote Grant, Sherman and others on the . services of these officers, and what this institution did in the Civil '.'Ur, but that isnot necessary. It is a college that seldom had one hundred cadets. It was established by one of the first Commandants of West Point, Captain Partridge, and stands' today, like it did in the beginning without a single endownient. The State of ■Vermont makes an a^.propriation to it, andeach Senator appoints a cadet to it. It is this class of colleges t?:ink the United Btates should aid in building up as a specialty next to '.Vest Point, and I 'believe it can be done as I suggest, by giving them the preference next to West Point in appointments to the army. Very truly yours, Grenville M, ^odge . « Ron . Liihu Loot, Secretary of War, W: shington, D. C. i ..p " . .

Take for instance Norwich Unviersity, which was a purely mil-' itary college before the ciil war, and all it has had is the support of tlie State of Vermont, Its standing in the Civil War was second only to that of West Point, and if numbers are taken into considera.tion, it possibly would equal it. Both Grant and Sherman always selected cad\^ts from that University next to West Point, and such was also the case on the Confederate side. These colleges are alw ys small and poor. People do not take to them, but the students that graduate from theqi, no matter what walk of life they go "into, invariably meet with sucr^ess. As a general rule they go into the sciences, and take a prominenl position in them. Especially is this tlie case in engineering. By in some way aiding them the Government could build up a system that could be depended upon. For instance, suppose they gave the cadets from these military colleges an-indueeraeHt-fer-a gP6a-t-iB»Ry-te-9Htep-thasa preference in appointments to the army after West Point. This would be an inducement for a great many to enter these colleges and thoroughly prepai'-e themselves. If you will consult the records, you will find that the officers you have appointed from civil life to the army that have come from such in stitutions as Norwich University, stand much higher than those taken gener-.^lly from alvil life, and the r ason for this is that after four years of training in milit-^ry discipline, and the scientific educaion they receive, they are well fitted for a military life Twott their government, they respect power and are obedient t^ orders, no matter from where they come, ooeaient, to I know you take great inter? st in these matte s and thio i o writing and calling your attention to them. ' I also of P TT ti'tercst in the matter, for I am myself a rr-duate t.orwlch University, nnd, therefore, kno>, of rtat I spee^r In the Civil War and in the Spanish War, a very large number of Ilnr-wipR University cadets participated—in the Civil War al? ^f i necessitated closing the institution for^ a ieS or Jwo T? reioSd. of the university show that 517 cadets were officers in the United ot.tes service. Among these were 6 Major Generals, 8 BrlgadlSj General 16 Brevet Brigadier Generals, 35 Colonels, 34 Lieutenant' Colonel^ and and 50 50 in fn'th the navy. other I refer words, only there to officers. were 457 I officer have no in st-tement the ariiy of of it.ro.^L5:!i c detstook part. Since you have been Secret.ary of IVar f "bfr you 508 have apoointed several ol ita cadets to the regular army, and I know that in"two of these cases you waived slight defects on account of the services and records of these cadets. j-' • I could go on-and quote Grant, Sherina.o and others on the services of these cadets, and whs t the institution did in the civil war but that is not necessary. It is a college tt.at seldom has one hundred cadets. It was established by one ol' the first Comrrsndants of West ^oint. Captain Partridge, and stands today, like it did In the beginning, without a single endowment- Tiie State of Vermont makes an approoriation to it, and each Senator appoints^a cadet to it. It is this class of colleges I think the United States should aid in building up as a speciality next to "''=st ^oint, and I believe it can be done as I suggest, by giving them the preference next to West Point in appointments to tiie army.. Very truly yours. (Signed) Grenville . Dodge . Hon. 'Flihu Root, Secretary of War, Was] ington, D . G. ijLf. ■ ' '* 509 October, 1902, New York City, October 31, 1902 IV'y dear N'rs . ii^achsn^an: I received your letter of tiie 18th, also t!ie photograph, which greatly pleases ir.e, and forv.-hich please accept my thanks. When I was in ''ashington during the last session of Con gress I tried to find out son.ething about your clairr,, but could not. Nobody in the Claim Committee seemed to know about it. 11" r. ^"0- Pherrin sent me some papers in relation to it, and I sent tlieni over to Washington to have the matter looked into, but the papers were not returned to me. On consultation there it was decided that to have tiie claim put in shape you would first have to get the i»-ember of Congress from your-district take it up. He is Ivr. Cowhard, a very prominent and influential member oi the Rouse; then I probably could aid in the matter, but it is almost an impossibility to get such claims through. h'.r. NcPher.rin sent ne a statement of the iiiatter and what had been done,'but he wants to present that natter to IVr. Cowhard and post liim th oroughly, and tr. Cowhard should see th^t when the bill is introduced andgoes to the Committee that tlie Com mittee is thoroughly posted. I had a talk with several of ra y friends who are n,embers, and they think something should be done in the niatter. Of course when they refer to the War Department they will all come to the same decision they did before, but it will have to be given upon the equities in the matter, and upon the ser vices of your fatlier to the Governm.ent for which he has never receiv ed any pay. I knew all the Campbells, Robert and Hugh; they were intimote friends of mine when I was Cormriander of the Department cf the Missouri,, and I was often at their house, and knew all about their operations on' tlie plains in connection with the fur companies, The last service your father performed for me was when he guided the Powder River,expedition under Gen. Conner in the year 1865. When he. can.e off the plains he came to my house in Council Bluffs to see me; I forget what year that was. Have Vr. K-cPherrin fix this n;atter up with Nr. Cowhard, and let me know about it, and'^v.hen I go to Washington in December I will see Mr. Cowhard and consult with him in relation to the claim, and what is best to be done in the matter. Truly, G.

Dodge, New York, My dear General: I intend to erect a monument in memory of the soldiers of the Civil War on the public square of our little village. Have decided upon a heavy granite pedestal, with four bronze plates*- one with names of soldiers who went to the army from this vicinity, the other with war emblems. The pedistal to be mounted with a bronze figure, either a private soldier at parade rest, or a skirmisher, or a figiire of Gen. Grant of Pres. Lincoln. I find a portrait statue of Gen. Grant at studio of J. Murr^ Rhind , 208 East 20th St. N, . Y. I do not have confidence in my own judgment whether this is a good portrait of Gen. Grant or not. I would not like to get it unless it would be creditable to the Gen'l,, and worthy of the cause. I 'vould like to ask the favor of you to call end see the cast and talk with the sculptor and give me your opinion of the merit of his work. On account of your intimate association with Gen'l. Grant and your appreciation of a work of art I shall have perfect confid ence in your judgment. Enclosed find letter of Mr. Rhind which I wish you would read and return;With kindest regards. Very truly, Wm. Larr abee. 513 IIEBRASIU STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Nov. 1902 Lincoln, Nebr, Nov. 6, 1902 Gen. G. M. Dod;?:e, New York Dear Sir;- I have to thank you for your kind letter to me of September 2nd. On its susfrestion I wr.ote to Mr. Dey and obtained from him some valuable information,I wish the publishers of the history could afford to let me ^o to New York to examine the Union Pacific records, as you su^pcested, but T fear that they will not f,o to that expense. When the controversy over the location of the bridge took place between the company and the citizens of Omaha a committee of the latter went to New York to confer with Durant, Dillon and others. It is contended by the friends of Dr. Geo. L. Miller that this committee has exhausted its resources without success when he was sent for, and that by his influence the bridge was re-located at Omaha. Another party give the credit to the committee and deny any to Miller. I think the Dodtor's friends are right, but would like your account of the manner in which the desired result was secured. If you so desire I will keep what you say in confidence, though I would prefer to use it openly. Very respectfully yours, Albert Watkins. .... . - ViT, '....tiSWii, .iJtUi. November, 1902 515 San Antonio, Texas, November 6, 1902 General G. M. Dodge, No.l Broadway, New York My dear GeneraljI am now in my quarters here in San Antonio, and find the weather so delightful that I hasten to write you to ask you to come down here some time during the winter and make Mrs. Grant and myself a visit. I believe that this will be a good place for your rheumatism, and feel sure that you would enjoy a short rest from your labors. Whenever you find time to come if you wil!" telegraph me I will have you met at the depot. Mrs. Grant is very well, and joins me in warmest regards for Yours very sincerely, P. D. Grant 517 Nov. 1902 Millwood, Nov.6th, 1902 Gen. G. M. Dodge, Dear OousinjSometimes too many thanks get be be disagreeable; yet I want you to know that the continued favors from your hand are appreciated. We often wonder, while your life work has been, and is, so full that you should so kindly remember us; indeed you and cousin N. P. have added much to interest and brighten our quiet lives. I was verj*- glad to hear of your good health, while a letter from your brother writes of suffering from nervous trouble and depression, and the care problems which he is trying to solve, are weighing heavily upon him, ,.he feels that he must leave business and home in order to rest and yet he is undecided where he may find the most relief from his great weariness and care; he thinks possibly to Cuba would it not be nice for him to accompany you should you conclude ( as the cold weather approaches) to spend a few months on that beautiful island, the perfect climate the'tropical scenery so unlike that produced by the frigid beeath of the North temperate zon9,with its towering palms of the forests and foreign fruits, manners and customs of the people, would surely all the strange scenes would lead his mind along different lines of thought, and he would soon be greatly benefitted. His devotion to his family makes it very hard for him to leave his lovely home, yet he is too good a man to be worn out so soon and he must take a long season of rest. The starting place, for long trips seems to be always New York and should you both meet there we should be very rnuch pleased to have you make a little side journey to Millwood wre you plan to start for the summer land of Cuba or for foreign lands across the sea. We are about as well as usual, father very comfortable and was able to accompany us on a visit to the home of the late J.IEF. Whittier in East Haverhill, he was quite interested in viewing the ancient home of the Quaker Poet, where so many of his beautiful poems were written. The lady in charge was very anxious that he, father, should register his name as he was born in 1807 the same year as Mr. Whittiers; it was a great task for him, his sight so dim and somewhat worried, but he finally succeeded. Just a few days ago we read of the burning of the old home, but I believe much of the ancient furniture was saved. Alfonso iias been unusually busy as the coal strike has caused a great demand for wood, keeping the teamers on the road delivering every day, besides the milling and farming. He has recentlv purchased the other half of the Mill house and farm, built by Grandfather Dodge in 1828 the house was about to be sold as all had left and Fons' connected with the property that he wanted the control. I have just received a letter from one of our great uncle Wm. B. Dodge s granddaughters of Sioux City Iowa, letting us know that her Aunt J^^dith the last surteivor of Uncles' numerous family is very feeble and childish and is living with a grand-neice in Vank+nn u.outh Dakota. Father is much pleased with your kindly notice and mch interested to rend of your great war record and labors of love to all particularly in the case of Col. Kinsman, in whose case, you have done so much to search out and honor the dead hero and friend. I will close with another thank you and a kindly greeting from all while I am Sincerely, B.P.Dodge 519 November, 1902, New York. November 6, 1902, ^rank Trumbull, Esq., President, Denver, Colo. Dear Sir;- I received your telegrams in relation to the election, for 11 which I am very much obliged. There has been a great interest on tlx. part of everybody to hear from Colorado,. I had private advices be fore elction that there was likely to be a change there, but could hardly believe it, as Chappell, who is here, seemed to think there was no doubt of the election of democratic congressmen and senator. Of course, the general result is very gratifying, especially to the President. There se'ms to have been but one bad spot, which was here in New York City, where there were many local causes to affect the vote and make many republicans turn on their party to punish it, but New York City often does that. I read your private letter of November 2nd carefully. What I have been writing you privately about appears to be moving along but there are ups and downs. I am very anxious to retain the present management, while other are just as much opposed to doing so, I hope to bring about final harmony, which is best for all of us. The Board when made up will have no dummies in it, but-all representative men, 1 understand from Mr. Osgood that most of the employes who are in the Board now are simply placed there until they can be replaced by some body else. I had a talk with Mr. Hawley in relation to the organization, as you suggested in your letter, and he says if Bcott is a good man, why not keep him? He also looked favorably upon your suggestion of a Vice President who is an operating man for all the roads. He sai^ the only man he knew who was fitted for the place, and he didn't kn~w whether he could be obtained, is Muir, who is on the Southern Paoilic You had better be looking this matter up, as I am satisfied that the Board will act on your suggestion and give you a Vice President who^ is an operating man, whoever you mcy deem best. If Muir is the man' so much the i.etter. I have no man in view myself. I am very anxious to extend the Yichita Valley up to the Reh River at arley, I don't like the movements down there, and am fearful that the M. K. & T. or Kent interests may get in there and cut ofx this business from us. I hope Jones will see you. I had a talk with Mr. Hawley about it, and we think the Port Worth & Denver should help by selling us the steel that they are going to take un at a low price. I have no doubt that we can get up an organization,'such as you suggested in your letter, and put the Wichita Valley in it. In fact, we must protect ourselves north and sonth, and will have to extend that line some day to the west. I have never been willing to let it go, knowing the time would come when the Fort Worth* Denver would have to have it, I hope while Jones is out there tlat you win what can be done, a d let him have the rails, if he River. Of course you do not want to taUc about this to anyone, as Wichita Falls is stirred up a goot^ deal. Very truly yours, G. M. Dodge. 521 November 8th I90E. IB East 48th St.November 8, I90E. My dear General t am so much pleased and 1 thank you so much for the article you have written about my father. 1 can answer from my father's own record, that guestion about what he did after the taking of Savannan on Dec. El, 1864, as on the 9th of "January 1865, he sailed from hilton Head in the steamship "Aeago" for New York. He went to Des Moines by the way of Wash-■ ingten, where he was until Feb.ES. He remained in Des Moines as your let ters from him indicated, until he weht to St Louis, and then on with you to the Plains. There is one paragraph from his letter to you, abouf'enemies at home" , and "traitors" eto., which was undoubtedly true; but it is too long ago, is it not to quote those opinions,now? And those people, 1 think, came to know that they had made a mistake. 1 copy too, a retract ion on the part of a number of men v.ho signed the petition niade by Lieut. Nichols. 1 suppose, they too, came to know that they had made a mistake. 1 send herewith a photograph taken some time ago, but it is better than others more recently taken. 1 hope that you will have a safe and pleasant journey to Iowa. Yours most truly and with gre;:>t affection. Haidee Williamson. November, 1902. New York Cltyj November 10, 1902 Wy dear General: I am in receipt of yours of November 6th. There is nothing that would give me more pleasure than to be present at the Vermont Loyal Legion banquet. ty relations with Vermont are very close, and I can never I'orget the days I spent there as a young cadet in Norwich University, where I was taught those principles that have been so useful to me during my lile--loyalty to my Government, re spect for the authority of the Government, discipline, the necessity of obedience to all orders from a superior authority, and the drill ing that teaches every cadet to rely upon hiniself. These have all been of great use to me in my life. Your Vermont Society here has made me one of its members, although I am a native of Ivassachusetts. I'-y home while in Vermont was with one of its most distinguished families,- that of General Truman B. Ransom, who you hnow fell at Chapultepec. Two of the sons, T. E. G. and Dunbar P. went to the '"est with n,e. General T. E. G. died at the head of iny corps, and Dunbar R. was a distin guished soldier, and after the v/ar tvas with uie on our !"estern railroads for miany years, and died while in my service. They wore a remarkable family, and tlie good care that ^:rs. Ransom took of me while a young boy was of great benefit to m.e, and I never shall forget my home with them. It would be a great gratification to me to meet Admiral Charles E. Clark and Dr. Webb. The comrades of Admiral Clark-- Dewey and Colvocorresses, in the kanila Campaign, were both cadets at old Norwich University, and the first time he met mie after re turning frou Manila Admiral Dewey said to me that he knew a aood deal more about me than I did about nyself, for he had heard all the good and bad stories that were told of me as a cadet. , , ^ not know that I have ever met Compainion Webb, but his work has been in the line of my own, and I have seen a great deal of it in rriy travels in the East and in Canada. Please express to the Companions my thanks for the invitaregrets at being unable to attend, and to the rest of the Vermonters the riglit hand of fellowship. Truly and cordially yours. Grenville V. Dodge. Geeral T. 3. Peck, Burlington, Vermont. 525 Noveir.ber, 1902 New York City., NQvember 12, 1902, Personal. Albert V.'qitkins, Esq., Nebraska State Historical •society, Orrnha , Ngb. Dear Sir: I arn in receipt of yours of November 6th, and in answer to your inquiry in regard to the bridge^ will give you my recol lection of the matter. The first orders that came to me were to n^ake an examination of the iV^ssouri River from the mouth of the Platte to Florence, to ■ determine the best location, from the engineering point of view , for a railroad brdige across that river. I made qs thorough a preliminary examination as I could, and on December 5, 1866, reported that from an engineering point of view, and taking into consideration the cost of the bridge "and approaches, grades and distances, the crossing at Childs kill was the best, and I compared with it the crossing at South Omaha, at the Telegraph Pole, etc, but I arrived at the conclusion that whereever the bridge should be built it should be a high bridge. Upon receipt of this report, the company sent me additional instructions to c ntinue the examinations, and in making my report to take into consideration the location of the bridge from a com mercial point ofview, as well as an engineering, bearing in mind that the terminus of the road and our shops were then located in Omaha. 0 January 15, 1867, I made my report, favoring what was knov/n as the^k, k. location, or the location of the present bridge. I )lpcated that line to the river at this point in 1853. Other reports u<'on the bridge were riiade by the consulting engin eer, Silas Seymour, in December 1866, in favor of placing a Draw bridge at what was known as the Telegrajh Pole crossing, and also by tr. T. C. Durant, who favored that crossing. r.'r. Jes.;e 'A'iiiiams, one of the Government Directors, took the question up, andnade a report on November 25, 1867. He was rather favorable to the high bridge crossing, but wanted to use what was known as the Ainsworth L,ne, going south by the kissouri Bluffs, and going tlu'ough into ^uddy Creek, near the proposed cross ing at Childs I'ill, and thiis utilize the high bridge at the k. & k. crossing, and accomimodate the shops and city of On,aha . 526 After these reports were in, and had been.considered very f .illy, the citizens of Oii.a,ha took the question up, andl think made a report or addre ss to the" company under date of Ivarch 11, 1868. After that address Seynour made another report on the order of Kr. Durant, which waB dated Iv.arch 24, 1868, and made as strong an ar gument for a pcrmanerit draw bridge at the Telegraph Pole crossing as was possible, and that report was backed cy Mv. durant. The Company and the Government directors were at first very favorable to the Childs ihill crossing, but upon my second re port of Jan. 15th, they generally began to favor what was known as the t'.. &. IV'. crossing, but they thought as it would cost us so much more to build a bridge at that point than at the Childs H.ill crossing that the City of Gmaha or the County should a id in the cost of constructing the brdige, which had to be built' entirely outside of the Union Pacific Railway. There were great difficulties at tliat time in raising money for the purpose, and, as I recollect, the citizens of On.aha did not m.eet the expectations of the company, and there was some doubt as to-what the final result would be. in my mind, however, there was never any doubt what the final decision would be, after i hod made my sec..nd examiination. Iv'y recollection is that dr. tiller than ca,me to New York, and either before starting or after arriving her-e, came to me, and I discussed with him very fully the report i had made. I do not think my second report had at that time been u.ade public, and he was a little.surprised to learn where i stood in the matter, as it had been considered by everyone, on account of my report of december 3, 1866, that I was strongly in favor of the Childs liill crossing. '.Vhen the Doctor ascertained this iiiy recollection is that he went to work to comply so far as possible with what the company con sidered should be done by the city of Omaha, and that his negotiations resulted in the conipany iriaking its decision in favor of the Iv. .& , crossing, where the liridge now stands. I have to write some of t is from miCiiiory, and would like to have you consult dr. ^'iller to see if I am correct in what I have wri-tten. I do not care to enter into any controversy in the matter, because it is past and can do no good. After you consult dp. ^tf.iller I should like to see his statement in connecticn with the matter. Very truly yours, G . N., Dodge . 527 Opelika, Alabama, Kov. 13th, 1902, General Grenville M. Dodge, New York, N.Y. Dear General; I send yoii by to-day's mail news-paper comments on polit ical conditions in Alabama. Collector Bingham, who has been removed from office., is a brother-in-law of mine, and is born Republican. An effort is being made by some of the dirty Ex "Ku-Klux" gang, who fought my confirmation, to have me removed for having participated as a delegate, in the recent Republican Convention of Alabama which refused admittance to a few colored delegnles, all of whom, with two or three expepcions have been owrking. and voting for the Democrats for twenty years, and they were turned out by seating contesting delegates from their counties. I would not have been a delegate to the Convention '.ut was a member of the State Committee, and have been very often ever since the organization of the party in this State, and for thisreason the Republicans of my County insisted on my being a delegate also. As a loy 1 Republican I p_ rticipated in the Convention and did W)-,at I honestly and conscientiously believed to be best for the party under all the existing circumstances, and for the Ne"-ro also. As I rold you in Washington, there are abou 2100 ne'^i'oes registered in Alalama, a. d more than rine-Lenths of that number are Democratic Tools , and have been voting tlie Democratic ticket for years. They wcroregistered for thisreason and not for the r ason that they came up to the re uirements of the New Constitution of Alabama; in fact the negroes who do come upto the requirements of the Consti tution in citizenship, good character, etc. have not (with verv few exceptions) been regieterelfor the reason that this class are mostly loyal Repu liv^ccns. These 'Democratic Tools" were registered for the purpose of bein forced by th Democrats into all Republican Meetings and Conventions to furnish excuse for the Democratic cry of Negro Party and Negro supermacy. General, I have said enough on this subiect I ° the many facts'...,hlvn My political and personal enemies say that Booker T. WnqhClarkson have promised to have me removed from office for the reason that I have stated-there being Ib^olSIelv n^ other reason or ca se for it. In other words, I cannot be turned o of duty; my record In the Post OffJoe ^ Manning of Alexander City, Aia., and ore M w warden of Opelixa, Ala. are claiming that Mr. Clarkson has promised . ... r ,..4. f^9Q ij tvii themto have me removed. I will not consume more of your time now to ventilate the character and standing or rather the lack of characLe r and standing" of these two notorious liars and unscrupulous scoundrels, but will aks you as a favor to me to see Mr. Clarkson at your earliest convenience and ascertain whether or not there is any truth in these reports. Owing to misfortunes in business, caused by fire, I really need the office, bu t the loss of it is nothing compared to the humiliation of being turned out in my old days for no real cause, by such men as are, a; d have been, hounding me. You knov/ me and my family a; d know what we h-ve gone through, .and the sacrifices that we have made, consequently I feelat liberty to call on you to stand by me. Thanking you in advance for all that you may do for me, and for past favors, I am ever. Very truly and sincerely your' ,friend, D. Smith. I trust that it is not out of place for me to add to this letter the fact that I favored the Nomination of Mr. Roosevelt in 1904 before the death of President ^''^cKinely and so expressed m-'self to leading Republic'\ns of Alabama a. d others.

I do not know the present address of if r. Carnegie, but he is somewhere in Europe--perhaj;.s in Scotland. I understand he is going to return here before long. I understand most letters never, reach him; they si,.ply go to his secretary, who answers them, unless they are of a character tocall for his personal attention. What I suggest is that you it ve gotten up and typewritten a concise brief in regard to the library, which can be seen at a glance. It should con'oain: 1st. The name of the library. 2nd. How many books it contains. 3r.d. What it now costs to sustain it. 4th. What the city does for it. 5th. What the population of . the city is, 6th, Number of the differeiit railroads entering the city. 7th. Number of railroad employes living in the city. 8th. Stateii.ent that the necessary guarantee will be given for the support of the library. 9th. Now tl.e library is located, and what this money is wanted for. Also anything else you may think of. Nut itin such shape that he can see at a glance what it is, and then send it to me and I will take it to him with your letter when he returns here, which is the only way to recch him. I have written him several times on this library question and have never had an answer, and I know if a letter of iTiine reached him he would answer it, because he and I are old friends, end were together in early days, but the fact'is my letter never get to his eye, but know I can get an interview with hiti' when he gets back here. It would also be a good thing to state how long the library has been in existence, how ithas been built up, and its present condition. Very truly yours, G. iv'. Dodge .

I have tbad the letter of Captain Smith and herewith return it. There never has been any warrant for anyone quoting me as being in favor of his removal as Postmaster. While I do not agree with him on his theory and belief that the Republican party can be made one thing in the South and another thing in the North, I would still support him because ox his fine record during the war and your recommendation. These Sout?iern Republicans, who can do no good for the party at best, never stopped to confer with anybody as to how much harm in the South. Lf.T There are nearly or quite attempting 500,000 Negro to exclude voters in the theNegro Northern tates and without them we cannot elect either a President or Congress, and they would never tolerate the attempt of the party to be a white Man's party in the South and all colors party in the No?th!

It is so long suppose you can only use it in one of your Sunday issues. If you publish it, I would like to have you use the sanie type and print ior me in pamphlet 1 orm one thousand copies as soon as practicable, andsend tl.em to me here. Al4o. wlien you print the ar-ticle send rue twenty-five copies of the paper, and also send twentyfive copies to Aiss Kaldee V'illiamson, 18 East 48th Street, New York City. Send bill for the pamphlets and papers to me here and I will send check for same. I enclose you photograph which no doubt you will want to use with the article in your paper. At any rate I desire copies of it to be bound in the pamphlet. I am sending you a pamphlet recently gotten up for mie, and suggest that the ones you miake be ofsimilar size and style.

Captain Sn.ith and his family (six of them) father and brothers, came to me at Corinth, t. ss., having been driven out ofnorthern Alabama, It was through their influence that i raised the first Alabariia reginent, comiposed entirely of residents of Northern Aiabaii.a . Attorney Cmith who ran for Governor, is a nephew ol tr.e senior -Iniith. They have all been consistent republi cans, and fighting ones, and it was through the influence of Alli son, Gear and n.yself t};at Sii.ith :_ot his appointmient and confirmation as Postmiaster of Opelika. Tqu will note he says he needs tb.e posi tion, which I know to be true. I recently met him andhis sister at the Grand Armiy Encampmient in Washington. If you can, I wish that you would have him retained. I believe all he tells is true. I understand the reason for the removal ofBingham, hut it seems to n.e tiat is suflicient to determlnethe policy of the party. There is no question as to Captain Gndth's standing in Alabaima, not only among republicans, but amiong demiocrats and the better people there, and I would dislike very match to see him removed, on account of his ser vices in the war in Alabamia, and my personal knowledge of him. Kindly let me know ifit is necessary to take any action in this matter in A'ashington. Please return me Smiith's letter. Very truly yours, G . , Dodge . i'on. J. §. Giarkso.i , Surveyor Port of New York, Custom House, New York City. 539 Ncven.ber, 1902. New York City, NQvember 1.7, 1902, Hon. Henry C. Payne," Postmaster General, '''ashin£ton, P. G. fi/.y dear Oir : I am in receipt of a leti-er froii, Capt. D. B. ^mith, of Opeliks, Alabama, statinr tfat there are rumors there thathe.'is to be removed from his position as Postmaster on account of his having taken part in the republican convention in Alabama.. In belialf of Capt. Sriith, I wish to say that early in the Civil tVar he, with five brothers, came to me through the lines from Northern Alabamia to Corinth, Nlss., and it w:s through them that I raised the I'irst Alabama Cavalry, which was composed entirely of citizens of Northern Alabama. The record of the regiment in the service is a fine one. It was a regiment General Sherman thought a great deal of, in fact in his march to the sea and in the Carolina camx:)ain£S he had it de tailed as his headquarters guard. All of the Smiths were strong Union men, and became republicans and have been so ever since. One of them was afterwards Governor, and a nephew has just been rimning for Governor. Captain Snith is a man who is respected, not only by the republicans, but by the democrats in his country. He has been a fighting republican tl:ere ever since the war, and I hope no change will be made, for he really needs the office. He has held his county as a republican county ever since the war, and i.t is such today. I am told that his record as Postmaster is excellent. However, that is a matter that iseasy for you to ascertain. I will take it as a great personal favor if he remain undisturbed in his office. /hile I understand fully the reasons for the action of the administrati n, still I think sufiicient example has been made, and where we have good strong republicans like Smith in office in Ala bama we should retain them. I have a letterfroni James G. Clarkson, who is also very much in favor of retaining him, andhas so written the Advisory Con.mittee in Alabama. Very truly yours, G . Ii/i. Dodge . 541 I'lQveir.ber, 1902. New York City, N vember 21, 1902 i^-organ Jones, Esq., 603 Plyriiouth Building, Chicago, 111. Dear ^ir: A letter I have received froii; Kaufn.an indicates that he does not appear to be getting in any bonds. We have got in now about all there is in New York that I know of. Pearsall has tv-enty-five which will be sent in. I have sent for a list of the men who hold the notes. You should go to see Charles S. Sweet, Vice President of the Pullman Company, Pullman Building, Chicago, and get the bonds of the Pullman Company, and also ascertain wheti.er the Pullman estate does not hold some of them. I think we let the Pullman Conipany have some bonds for enuipnent, and, as I..r. ^^ullman was an original subscriber, hH. estate must have sore of the bonds. You will have to attend to this natter in person in order to get them in. There is no one here who has any knowledge of the matter. You ask about the money situation here, falling stocks, etc.. It was all caused by the banks forcing liquidation, and getting them selves in a stronger positinn. They had over-loaned here to these speculators. It is said the Chicago crowd and its following was carrying a million and a half shares of stock her'e. Anyhow, the banks and trust coii ponies combined and forced them to liquidate, whidh has bei n a go.^d thing. As long asi business is as good as it is now in the country there" is notmuch danger of any great disturbance. After January 1st probably money will be easier. The fact is there is not money enough in the country now to do the legitimate business and carry on the big specualatiuns that have been going on. Let me hear from y.u about this bond matter, because it is inportant to get it in shape. We will have to follow it up person ally by writing i-arties who have not come in. I saw Chappell here, and he said he would send his down as soon as he got home, but you had betterwrite him a letter. How many bondshave you got, and who are the other large holder-s? There are about five hundred bonds we have not heard from. Very truly yours, G . y. Dodge . November, 1902 543 Washington, D. C., November 22, 1902 My dear General;- I am exceedingly glad to get your- letter of November 20th, Indeed, I was very much tempted before taking the -step to ask your advice in the matter, but realized that after all it was question which I must in the end, decide for myself, which conclusion I believed it best to decide at once. Mrs. Johnston personally did not advise me one way or the other, but now that the irreparable step has been taken admits that she is very happy that I have resigned. I hope you will be able to get accommodation at the Hotel Walton Philadelphia, where we are stopping, but if, as is more likely, you will be the guest of pone of your friends in Philadelphia, I hope you will dine with us Saturday evening after the game. Please let me know what your address in Philadelphia will be. I wrote the report on the maneuvers for the General Officers, and have retained a personal copy for myself which I will show you when you come to Washington in December. Mrs. Johnston .loins me in cordial good wishes. Sincerely yours. John A. Johnston, General G. M. Dodge, No.l Broadway, N. Y. Gity s 545 rovember, 1902. New York City, Nov. 25. 1902 Hon. Elihu Foot, Vice President, Grant r.'.onurrient Association, V'ashington, o. C. f/y dear Sir: As soon as General and t.rs . Grant turned over to iiiS the memorial souvenirs upon the death of ^-'eneral Grant i had them taken up to the tomb end stored there. There is a very large number of them many of which are framed, and are very fine. As I talked with you when I was in ''Washington, I asked Ivr. Duncan to take up the question of lighting the alcoves. He wrote nie that he.had been considering the mat er and had come to the conclusion that it was better to light the tomb with electricity, and would take the matter up with the electrical companies. I enclose herewith his letter of November 24th, in which he says he is disposed to go back to the original plain, and light only the two circular apartment, which, in my opinion, is sufficient. If you approve of this being done at the cost he sug gests, if you will write me I will have the Secretary give the necess ary order. flease return Nr. Duncan's letter with your answer. Veru truly yours, Grenville . ^odge. 547 Noveiiiber, 1902, New York City, November 28, 1902, Sir "illiara C. Van Nome, c/o Nessrs Kuncie & Nandulay, Obispo 1, Havana, Cuba, dear Sir '.''illiam; Yours of November 21st reachea me today. We had a meeting at one o'clock for tte pur;0se of passing resolutions to call in the outstanding dubenture bonds, and authorize 30 days notice to be given, and notify those people who have not paid up. Er. Ryan had received your letter, andread it in our nieeting, andeveryohe was greatly gratiiled at its contents . As I remember, there was something like$500,000, perhaps a little miore, of the stock which had not paid Ut.. Among them were Thomas, Kill, Whitney, Iv-ills, and a few others, all of whom will pay probably as soon as they get the second notice. There are J|;4C5,000 of the dubenture bonds which have not come in. ^^165,000 of them are held by Thomas and others. This would leavesomething lime :,-;300,000 if I remember. ; rightly, that we will have to redeemi. 1 have not the statemient before mo, but there are a good many of the subscribers who did not take the bonds, which were sold outside. Hill and i'ills have asked for explanations of miatters, and 1 guess liill has done considerable talking. He was to see Ryan, but he referred him to me, and when he comes to see me I think will be able to explain what hewants to know. 1 ti;ink all hills wants is to get a little information which he has not received. I understand young Thomas has left the country and gone to India. He has the power of attorney for his father, andseveral others are in Europe or returniUi^, from there. Todd has not paid. We instructed the Secretary to wrii.e a letter tothose who have not come in, calling their attention to the necessity of tlieir paying up. I was glad to your report upon the condition of the roadbed, and to know it is in as good condition as it is. We do not any of us understand why the Register is Cuba collected the check for ;^160,000 that was deposited there, which we all understood was to be carried on deposit. I suppose there must have been a good reaoon for it, as all the other deposits we have made there they have treated as per their agreements. We were also pleased to learn you got a good arrangement from Havana to oanta Clara. I suppose you are waiting before sending any more equipment for action on the tariff. 548 Did you do anything about the ore cars of the Cuba t-ining Company they cilered to seel us? The option Clark has on these cars expiredfirst of December. Everything here is moving along nicely. I have no. doubt you have good weather there now. '''e will all be glad to see you on your return.

My dear Genl: It has been a long time since I last wrote you. I was in New York last fall and called at your office and learned that you were out of town. Trust you continue in good health. I have been mining in the Yukon Country since 1897 and cannot complain of my success. It is a wonderful country and each years development shows greater permancy, in fact the country is as yet only partially scratched. In /98 the What Pass and Yukon Ry. was stahted by Mr. E. C. . Hawkins wl;o was the Chief Engineer and Genl. Manager. He built it over the White Passand down along side of ^ake Bennett and along down the Yukon River to White Horse 111 miles to the head of navigation on the Yukon, where their present terminus now is. Then they organized a steam Boat Company connecting with the road composed of a fleet of 18 steamers which during the open season are all kept busy used in for warding the White Pass freight to Dawson and lower river points, al ready the White Pass Ry . has more than paid for. itself in the past four years, covering their entire cost of construction and equipment which was nearly four million dollars. This will give you a little idea of wl.at that country has been doing in the last four years. One year ago Mr. Hawkins resigned from the White Pass Ry. for the purpose of organizing a new Company, which is to operate in and about Dawson and the rriines tributary thereto. He has his or*ganization complete and surbeys and cross sectioning well under way. He has also his terminal yards all in at Klondyke City, together with about 3000 feet of track laid this fall. He has one engine. and about 20 cars, so you see has gotten things pretty well under way on his new enterprise. He is one of the finest little gentlemen you ever miet. He left here a few days since for Ottoway Canada and will also visit New York with a view of business. I gave hin a letter of introduction to you thinKing per haps you might give h.i.ii a pointer in placing his bonds there in the City. Should he call upon you he wi 1 be able to explain more fully. Knowing that you were always interested in the development of this Northern Country (which is the richest possession of the U. S. ) I send him to you for advice. Should he succeed in placing his bonds, it will very materially assist n.e also. When you meet him he can pve you a little information regarding me for the past five years, i ® that you can I are now the only ones left of our Texas «m sSrei; loSryofup';'"'" ' ®Saln this .inter I Trusting that you will still survive many winters I remain.

Grant u^jon the death of his father were offered to the Grant Monument Association, Iconsulted with Mr . Root in '>"ashington, and we agreed to accept them. It was also agreed that ui on iry return to New York I would consult with Mr. Duncan in regard to lightin g the alcoves ofthe tomb, so as to properly exhibit these souvenirs and the flags. I endose Mr. Duncan's letter on the subject. It seems he took^'up the question of lighting the entire interior of the tomb with electricity, but gave up the idea on account of the expense, ■etc., and recommiends lighting the two alcoves with gas. I sent this letter to Mr. Root, and you will note froni Mr. Root's letter, also enclosed, that he returns it approved, and I also approve it, 7'ill you, therefore, please arrange with M^r. Duncan to have the al coves lighted as suggested, so we may use one of them for exhibit ing these memorials. Some of themaj-e very fine and we wish to hang them. There is also another question, that is th.at while these pipes are being put in perhaps theycould be arranged so that the mem orials that are in frairiescan be hung fron> the pipes instead pf laving to put in son.e kind of an iron moulding, or something else, to hang themlrom. Please take this up with M.r. Duncan when you send the instructions. A good many of th.e souvenirs that are not framied can be hung up in the glass case, but many of them will have to be hung on the walls . Very truly yours, G . f» . Dodge .

Dear Sir: Nearly three weeks ago I sent to the Register and Deader my sketch of General Williamson, consisting of about thirty-three typewritten pages, also a good photograph of him, and asked them when they published it to make in-pamphlet form for ne one.thousand copies. 1 navt never heard from then; whether they received it or not. On account of the length of the paper f suppose they would publish in on Sunday, or it may be so long theydonot want to publish it al all. I'he faiidly were anxious to have it published in the Register and Leader, as it would give a larger circulation over the State than by any other n.ethod. The thousand pamphlets we pro pose to send to all theold soldiers who served with him of whom we have a list, also to the Society of the Ariny of the Tennessee, of which he was a member. If you are over there, I wish you woulh ascertain from them if they received this article, and what they .propose to do in the matter. There is no one connected with the paper that I know per sonally, so I sent it to the editor. If Pick was there, or any of my old acquaintances or friends, I probably would have heard from it.

I^y dear Sir: I received your letter of November 28, and was very glad to hear from you again, also tonote that you are prosperous. I have kept close watch of Alaska. There was in my office today a young ii^an ;.ho went from my office to Nome, and had quite a quantity of gold with him. He has large placer claims_on Nome River, and seems to be very enthusiastic over thatcountry. Evidently as the country is explored it develops great mineral wealth. They say they have plenty of tin and mercury in the Nom.e district. I will (-..e glad to meet N.r. Hawkins when he comes this way, and if I can do anything to aid him will gladly do so. I do not know that I told you when I wrote you that we were the pioneers in Alaska. I was connected in the West with t];e Western Union People when they sent their band of explorers -u^. there in 1867 to build the telegraph line, and on e of their men by the name of Libby was the discoverer of gold at Non.e at that tine, but 1b,s kept it to himself, it is said, until within a year or two. v'/hen those men returned they reported finding gold, or the color of gold,., in the streams pretty much everywhere they tried them. Then when the Union Pacific took over the Oregon Navigation Company, we had a lot of old boats and put themi into the Alaska trade. I think they were the first boats regularly sent into that country. We run them there a good niany years before they brought us much income, and a good while before any n.inerals were discovered. I will be glad to hear from you at any time and receive any information you "have about the country. If I was young I would go and see it, but I am too old now to investigate and explore much. Wr. Granger is here, and I showed him your letter. He says he Is going to write you and tell youthere are some left of the old Texas & Pacific crowd besides yourself, though a great niany of them have passed over the divide. Very truly yours, G . V.

I cannot bear to have all passed over in silence to the rest of the world, which is such a real heartfealt compliment to Fred and your recommending it to Col. Church of course has all weight. It is generally stated that San Antonio has never given such an elegant affair as that in Fred's honor last Thursday and a grand reception is being arranged by the citizens for us on the 17th. Please pardon the interest of Fred's wife, and do write us that we will see you here, dear Genl. in our home. Yours sincerely, Ida H. Grant We gave a reception to Genl. Crozier on Wednesday and to Governor Durban of Indiana the day before. Yours sincerely, Ida H. Grant Dec.1902 Fred and I were delighted to receive the papers, with references to you, which we so greatly enjoyed and thank you extremely for letting us hear, Fred has been very much occupied since arriving here, finding this Dept. very much run down during the past four years and he is now absent on an "Inspection tour", to other posts but wishes to write you himself. Meantime I am writing to ask, if you will remember, dear Genl. that we are counting upon a visit from you, here, and if you will try to come in March when there are no more "Northers" expected. The weather is charming and the roses blooming. We think March is an un pleasant month in New York, and the change and rest will do you good, and we should so love to welcome you, in our hd)me. Fred and ihope you will take this into consideration and visit us here, surely. 'l know that you would be glad to know that the Texans seem most charmed, delighted to have Fred in command of this Dept. and he himself, has shown the wisdom and courtesy to call upon the Mayor here, and the Governor at Austin, "officially". This created a most favorable im pression, all are speaking of it and say, that "Fred is the first Genl Officer, who ever though of doing so, and showing this politeness to the"civil Authorities". Fred has received a perfect o/ation, from the civilians here and in each city and from the Army. I send enclosed w * w y i--—— ww Fred has received a perfect ovation, from the Department Headquarters, U.S.A. San Antonio, Dec.5th December, 1902, New York City, ,Oeceniber 6, 1902 F.y dear Mr. Hays: I noticed in the papers your statement of the intention of the Grand T^unk to buildVrom North Bay to Puget Sound. You know I take great interest in all those matters, although not direct ly, or even indirectly, connected with them, and since m^y trip over the Canadian Pacific, and seeiiig the wonderful development in the Northwest Territory, I have been reading up on that country, especially that lying from Ouebec alm.ost due west to the Saskatchiwan and Peace Rivers, and I had wondered why a road had not been projected through that country. The question that from N'oi'th Bay you would go unbroken country, thus avo the Canadian Pacific meets whether in passing north of iwan and then on the Yellow or whether you would keep s Peace Rivers, going to Puge arises in ;.y mind is whether in going directly north until you got into the iding the rocky and difficult country from North Bay to Fort William, ^nd also Winnipeg you would follow tthe SaskatchHoTse Pass, and so on to Fort Sinipson, t-11 further north by the Churchill ard t Sound by the Skeena, Would it be asking too much of you if you have a dodger or map of that country that you draw a line showing the general direction of your route? I suppose the Canada Northern would take the Saskatcliiwan route and go through Yellow Horse Pass on to Fort Simpson or port further south. In miy opinion the route north of that has great possibilities, by branches to Hudson Bay', adi other branches into the Alaska country. However, no doubt your explorations have determiined your general route, and if it is not giving away any secrets, and you can give nie any information, I would be glad to receive it. Of course it is i'or ny own personal information. Since my visit to Canada I l:ave become greatly in.i>resced with the fut ure of that country, and when I see so micny of our own people drift ing into the Northwest, and the wheat that took tiie premium at Winni peg comdng from. Peace River, I see what a possibility there is on those great plains between HudsBay and the mountains. Trusting that you are well, and thanking you for your many courtesies, I am, Truly and cordially yours, Grenville . Nodge. Charles M. Hays, Esq., Vice President, Grnad Truck System, Montreal, Canada. Please remer.ber ne to Mr. Mgrse. Dec., 1902 Personal 561 Montreal, Quebec, Dec. 8th, 1902 My dear Oeneral Dodgej I have your favor of Dec. 6th, and I am glad to give you for your personal information a general idea of our plans for our Pacific Coast extension. It is our intention to go in a northwesterly direction from North Bay until we get over the hbight of land, where our reports inform us the country is not only bf a better character for construction purposes than that immediately north of Lake Superior, but where there is also a great deal of timber as yet untouched and considerable arable land. After reaching this point we will go directly west, possibly dropping down to the south shore of Lake Nepigon so as to obtain a connection with Lake Superior, and from there northwest again to the Saskatchewan Valley which we will follow to Peace River VaUey, thence via Pine or Peace River Pass over the mountains to Port Simpson. All of our reports and infromation are to the effect that the Saskatchewan and Peace River Valleys are to be the future wheat fields of the world and this taken in connection with the possibilities that the route proposed affords for the handling of the Yukon business,- all of which we ought to get,- and constituting as it will the short route to Japan seem to me to offer very a]luring opportunities to be availed of. I do not know how you feel personally about the future trade to the Orient but I expect to live to see the day when we will be hauling as much wheat for export via the Pacific Ocean as now comes in this direction. I herewith enclose you a folder on which is indicated about the route we intend taking and I will be glad to keep you advised as further matters of interest develops. Yours truly, Genl. Grenville M, Dodge, No.l Broadway, New York (Enclosure) Chas. M. Hays 2nd Vice-Brest. & Genl. Mgr. December, 1902 Mv dear General'Dodge;- m The ^uba Company, 80 Broadway, New York, 10th December, 1902 I enclose -a copy of a letter I have just wrtttento Mr. Hill, together with a copy of the statement referred to therein. Yours ver3'- truly. W. C. Van Home Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, 1 Broadway, New York L. M. A. E. December 11th My-dear Mr. Hill11th December, I am sorry to have missed you yesterday because I could have explained in person much better than I can by letter matters relat ing to the Cuba Company. I enclose a statement at the 30th November showing what money we have received and for what it has beenexpended. In making up this statement the new bond issue has not been taken into account because none of the money coming from that source had been used at the date named. You-understand, no doubt, that $2,500,000, of the s?4,000,000 of bonds goes to pay for the ^2,500,000 of debenture bonds, which leaves us $1,500,000, for cleaning up and for paying for"the remainder of our freight and passenger equipment, and for future purposes. The item "Cost of Road" related to the main line from Santa Clara to San luis - 335-i miles- and the Sancti Spiritus Branch- 9 miles- ( the Branch not-yet quite done) which makes the cost of the road in itself very nearly $22,000 per mile, and this will be slightly exceeded when every thing is finished. I hoped to have got through with several thousand dollars a mile less than this, but the rock work vastly exceeded anything that the examinations of the ground gave reasons to expect, .and the number, si^e, and character of the "bridges required was also a long way beyond our earlier calculations. Those two items, together with some climatic conditions of which we did not know, will account for the difference. We found out quite early that, because of the impossibility of handling timber in that country at a reasonable cost, it was better to make the structures of masonry and steel at the start wherever we could. have a fine railway with good alignment and favorable grades, and the line is so placed that the existing grades may be very much lightened without change of line as the demands of traffic may warrant. • f I am sending you a book of photographs, gleaned from our construction .reprts, which will give you some light on the character of the work. The labor employed was much inferior to that of the north, and, although towards the end, the average* was not more than 603^ of effective work as compared with what we get in the north. 564 We have now practically completed the first step in our enterprise and have secured the future of the eastern half of the Island, embracing nearly 70Jv of its area, and I would like to have the principal share holders go down there this winter and look over the property so that they may^be able to consider intelligently such further steps as may be thought advisable. I hope you will be able to do this, say in February, when our sleeping cars will have arrived and when we shall be able to make you comfortable.' The whole trip may be- made from New York and back inside of two weeks and you would find it very pleasant and interesting from beginning to end. I shall be glad to send you any further information you may wish, Yours very truly, (Sgd) W. C.-Van Home Jmes J. Hill, Esq. St. Paul, Minn. P. S. The f2,500,000 of temporary debenture bonds issued early in the year were not expected to complete everything, although I hoped we might ' get through with their proceeds. They were intended to carry us along until the general financial arrangement through the sale of the railway property to the Operating Go. could be carried out. This, because of the pending change of Government in Cuba at that time, and for other reasons, was likely to take six months or more, and we had to make temporary provision for our requirements.

New York City, December 11, 1902 Albert Watkins, Esq., c/o Nebraska State Pistorical Society, Lincoln, Neb. N'.y dear Sir: I am in receipt of yours of December 8th. Since writing you I have hsd occasion to take this n;atter up in connection with another, and my records verify what Isaid to you in my first letter. If you will-refer to that letter you will notice that I spoke of the rriectings in New York in 1868. The only difficulty in deciding upon the location at the .& h. crossing, where the present bridge is built, w.'.s on account of the failure of the omaha and Council Bluffs people to meet the requiren;ents of the railway company. If they located the bridge at the Iv'-.<5c N. crossing, they considered that the extra costof palcing the bridge at that point should be made up by those cities, and the counties in which they were located. In read ing the printed statement of Ivr. Balcomb which you send me, I find it confirms what I have said in that respect. It is possible Dr. Iv'iller is right, andvery probable that the company did state to him that they had decided upon the Childs Iv'iiil C''''ossing, for this would be a natural thing to do if they desired to Bring about action on the part of the two cities in making a bonded and land donation. Dr. ^•iller•s statemient that he was brought there by the Omaha people I, have no doubt is also correct, because I know that it was to a great extent his influence that brought the two towns to comply with the demands of the railway company. I enclose you a short address that I made to the Omaha Club on December 1, 1901, which answers your other questions very definite ly. When I made the surveys in 1853-4 to the fv.issouri River, the interests conr.ected with the i*-'-.A K. Ry, (now the P.Ry) were i'arnum and Sheffield in the East, who had built the C-R.I- ^ -"^'Ry. across the State of Illinois, md the local interests were in the hanb of Cook and Sargent, of Davenport, Iowa, who were very prominent bankers and lawyers. They were menbers of the board of directors of the Iv. .& I'. Ry., and, of course, from their financial and legal position controlled the policy of the company in Iowa. They were very much in favor of the Piteon Greek route and favored the crossing of the road at Florence, ^.y surveys demonstrated that the Iwosquito line from an engineering and commiercial point of view was far super ior, and this was more than co firmed by my surveys west of the I^dssouri River. The contest in the board of directors came up on that report, which wca fully endorsed by Nir. Peter A. Dey, who was chief engineer of the N. & I>i;. Ra d. I was his principal assistant and made the surveys. iVr. Durant was not then connected with us, andthat decisio . was made upon my report and the backing Mr. Dey gave it. Tlie fact is the board of directors of that conipany were nil able men, and took hold of the matter with the view of deciding it for the best interest of the Company, 568 h'r. Durant becaitie connected with the company at a later day. This decisbn was made soon after. my surveys for -^ commenced work from Council Bluffs east-ward by the Mosquito line in 1856, i thiniC.,. I notice in the article of ¥.r. Balcomb you send me there is much discussion of the determination of the initial point of the Union Pacific Railway. .There is no questionin ray_mind_but that when Nr. Lincoln made the location after his. interview v/ith me he intended to locate it on the iowa side, from the fact that he had been in Council Bluffs, had seen that country, and knew all about it and ^ do not-believe he intended to locate the initial point of that railway in the middle of the Missouri River. I think in m.ak- ■ ing the description he follov/ed the law that itshould be on the western boundary of Iowa, and so described it that itwould be in Council Bluffs, where the courts afterwards decided that it shouS be . I have no objection to your referring to me as your author ity in these matters, in fact all you would have to do would be to refer to my stateirients made in Omaha. Very truly yours, ft G . li. Dodge . K' • I ''v ! V. ■ . j \ ' / ^-v. -'1 569 December, 1902. New York City, December 12, 1902 ^'.y dear H/'r. Speaker: ■ / I received yours of December 10th. When in Havana we all stop at the Hotel TelSj^rapho, which has a fine restaurant and fairly good rooms. have also stopped at the Ingleterra, which Ix s fine rooms, but we do not consider the restaurant as good, though there can be no complaint made of it. There are more good rooms in the Ingleterra than the Telegrapho. The Louvre, which is close by, (in fact all three are situated within about a block of each other) has not very good rooms, but is said to have the best restaurant. You might stop at any of them and get your n.eals where you please. The liQtel Passaje caters to Ariiericans. The Illinois Central send their people tl:ere,but I do not consider it a s good as those I have mentioned. If you are going there you want to cable for rooms. If you have a friend in Havana you had better cable to him, because they are not as particular over there about these matters as we are. I shall be in Washington Londay, stopping with Anison, and can go over these matters with you better than I can write. Our road is open but the accommodations for travelling over it are not very comfortable, as we only run in the day-time. . "e are waiting for our good equipment. About next February we can take you through from Havana to Santiago on a Pyllman. However, I would like very much to have your party go over the road, and perhaps you touId be glad to go,even if you have to stop over a couple of-nights between Havana and Santiago. ^ Very truly yours.

On October 4th, 1862, at the second battle of Corinth, the 43rd Ohio, Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith commanding, was placed to support batteries Williams and Robinette, the key to the position on the west approach to Corinth. Early in the morning the enemy opened up with artillery about three hundred yards in front, and shortly after 10 A. M., led by Colonel Rogers of the 2nd Texas, moved forward to assault. The opposing forces were but a few feet apart, and fought almost hand to hand, and men went down on both sides in great numbers. At the first assault Colonel Smith fell mortally wounded, and Adjutant Hyles and Captain Spangler were killed at the same moment. 1 he com mand of the regiment fell to Lieut. Colonel .Swayne, who at once, under a withering fire, changed front with out confusion, a movement that would have severely tried the metal and steadiness of any regiment that ever saw a battle field and, together with the .Sixty-third Ohio, he is credited with defeating the determined effort of the enemy to take forts Williams and Robinette. The regiment lost in this battle 16 killed and 75 wounded. Colonel J. W. Fuller, commanding first brigade, second division. Army of the Mississippi, says in his report: "During the as.sault on the right the Fortythird Ohio was thrown into momentary disorder by the fall of their Colonel, and were rallied by the efforts of Lieut. Colonel .Swayne, and the General commanding the division, D. S. .Stanley, and they successfully re pulsed the enemy's column, and every rebel who showed ■'t " X' " '.V'' ,v1 i-1' . i . says; "J grand sight than the moment. enter if trtle'^lZZslir"/ " ''"^'Pted ■ soon restored cXfrd^,:t order r fi hfJie utmost ga/lantry.' • S.

October i8th, for his )nel Swayne was made '-third Ohio Infantry 3, Brigadier General ipplies for the award a3'ne for extraordin- ary bravery and coolness in handling his regiment at the battle of Corinth, Mississippi, October 4th, 1863" (1862), and submits a statement as follows: " I certify on honor, that I was present, and in com mand of the Second Division of the Army of the Mis sissippi, at the battle of Corinth, Mississippi, on the 4th of October, 1862. That at the most critical period of that battle, when the Confederates attacked the position known as Battery Robinette, the greatest force of the assault fell upon two Ohio regiments, the Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry; both of these regiments suffered heavy loss in killed and wounded, the brave Colonel of the Forty-third Ohio J. L. Kirby Smith had fallen, and many of the officers were killed and wounded. Just at this instant I came to the posi tion of the Forty-third. I here found the Lieut. Colonel, Wager .Swayne encouraging his men, by example and speech The regiment was cut up so seriously that there was danger of a panic. By the coolness and bravery of Lieut. Colonel Swayne, the regiment was formed in line, changed front forward, and fought out the battle, and helped to gain a victory. The Battery Robinette had been silenced, and the gunners killed or stampeded. Lieut. Colonel -Swayne coolly sent a detail to reman the guns, and by so doing assisted to complete a victory won with much bloodshed." During the first advance from Memphis along the line of the Holly Springs and Grenada Railway to wards Vicksburg by General Grant, the Forty-third Ohio was on the railway between Memphis and Corinth, guarding it. In the celebrated raid of Van Dorn to the rear of Holly Springs, and Forest crossing j; ''--5v '. v srf. V •- the Tennessee River at Clifton, and attacking Jackson at the rear of Corinth, the Forty-third Ohio was stationed at Bolivar, the rest of the brigade, under Colonel Fuller, taking part in driving Forest across the Tennessee River at or near Clifton. At this time I was in command of the District of Corinth, and upon this attack of Forest I was ordered by General Grant to take such troops as I could gather, and take com mand of whatever force I could find, and drive Forest out of that country. Among the forces that I gathered up was the Ohio Brigade, the Twenty-seventh, Thirtyninth, Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio, a brigade that became very justly celebrated during the war. They were under the command of Colonel J. W. Fuller, and were driving Forest rapidly towards the Tennessee River. To avoid them. Forest was obliged to swim the larger part of iris command across that river, losing a good many men in the operation. I found that the brigade was destitute of almost everything. They seemed to have been drifting around without anyone to look after them. 1 hey lacked clothing and equipment, and a portion of them were bare-footed. I brought them with me to Corinth, and they remained in my command until August 19th, 1864. It was about January ist, 1863, that I first became acquainted with Colonel Swayne. In April, 1863, I received instruc tions from General Grant to move my forces up the Tennessee River Valley towards Decatur, into Bragg's rear, with a view of destroying the immense amount of stores at all the stations from Bear River to Decatur along the Memphis and Charleston Railway, and at the same time General Rosecrans had prepared a force of , ' - ,• "• ' i »■' vC ' t / ^ . , V ■ I ■ .i - • i.'i * . : I' - ' .5 '-..D. i i two thousand men under Colonel Straight which was to come up the Tennessee River on boats, and join me at or near Tuscumbia, with a view to making his cele brated raid to destroy Bragg's communications south of Chattanooga. Colonel Straight came to me poorly prepared. Six hundred of his men were unmounted, and most of those who were mounted rode mules. The first day he reached me, at Eastport, he lost two hundred of his mules. I stripped my transportation and gathered together all the stock I could, but when he left me he had two hundred men still dismounted, for whom he expected to pick up the stock on the way. Forest with his command, was in my front, also Roddy and Chalmers, and I pressed forward up the Tennessee River Valley, driving them before me, making as strong a diversion as 1 could, until I reached ITwn Creek, giving Straight two days start. In this move ment Colonel Swayne commanded the Forty-third Ohio, and took part in the battles at Bear River, Tus cumbia and Town Creek. At Town Creek Forest heard of .Straight, who had got way south of the Tennessee Valley at Moulton, and immediately left my front with all his mounted force and followed Straight, and continually harassed and fought him until .Straight was forced to surrender his command near Rome, Ga. If Straight had been properly equipped and mounted, there is no question in my mind but that his raid would have been a success. I was greatly surprised when .Straight came to me to see how poorly prepared he was for such an expedition. After the destruction of the Tennessee Valley, and the immense stores Bragg had accumulated there, we returned to •t I > • 4 . •.!•■ c..' ; A Corinth, where Colonel Swayne's regiment remained until the march of Sherman's army from Memphis to Chattanooga. Colonel Swayne, in command of the Forty-third Ohio, was a part of the First Brigade com manded by Colonel J. W. Fuller, of the Fourth Division, commanded by General J. C. Vetch, of the Sixteenth Army Corps, and took part in that march up to Pulaski, Tennessee, and were posted at Prospect where they wintered and participated in the rebuilding of the railway from Nashville to Decatur. During this winter the regiment almost unanimously reenlisted. On their return from their veteran furlough, I directed Colonel J. W. Fuller, commander of the brigade, to cross the Tennessee River and capture Decatur, then occupied by the enemy. For this purpose the Sixtythird and Forty-third Ohio crossed the river in boats at daylight, surprising the enemy and capturing the town. The Forty-third Ohio remained at Decatur, and the Ohio Brigade was divided, the Forty-third, Sixty-third, Twenty-fifth Wisconsin, forming the second brigade commanded by Colonel J. W. Sprague. This brigade was in the Fourth Division of the Sixteenth Army Corps. On May ist, 1864, the brigade moved with the rest of the command towards Chattanooga, and at Woodville was put on the cars and landed at Chatta nooga on May 5th 1864. On that day the Sixteenth Army Corps took the lead of the Army of the Ten nessee in the movement to the rear of Johnston's army at Resaca, and it was Swayne's regiment that at mid night on the 6th of May, captured Ship's Gap, the pass through the first range of mountains, and that opened the way for us to pass through Snake Creek Gap on J y I ■' 1' ^ ' l« . • • > ■ * > ■ I 1- - lE^I ;he night of the 8th, and planted us in the rear of Johnston on the railroad north of Resaca on the gth of May. At the battle of Resaca, Swayne, with his regi ment was in the support of the Fifteenth Corps, and his skirmishers were the first to enter Resaca. He moved with the army, taking part in all that long and tedious campaign, where it is said the skirmish line was never brought in, and fought at Dallas and Kennesaw Mountain, and was in the charge on the 4th day of July, at Smyrna Camp Ground, or Ruff's Mill, where his division carried the only line of works that was carried in that campaign, in the charge taking the main works in front of Hood's corps. After the army reached the Chattahoochee River, Swayne moved with the Sixteenth Corps to the extreme left, to Roswell, where that corps built a bridge across the river. Upon arriv ing at that place, Swayne's brigade forded the river, the bands playing national airs—a beautiful sight—and took the south shore and built a tate-de-pont, protecting the workmen upon the bridge. I'pon the movement of the Army of the Tennessee across the bridge and south towards Atlanta, I selected Colonel Swayne to remain at Roswell to protect our trains, giving him the Forty-third Ohio, .Sixth Illinois mounted infantry and a section of artillery. The entire supply trains of the Army of the Tennessee, were halted at that place, and Swayne was selected to take charge of them because in such matters he was very reliable, and in emergencies handled his men with good judgment. He came for ward with his trains on the 22nd day of July, and reached Decatur just as Sprague's brigade was being driven through the town by the whole of the Con- m-: federate cavalry under General Wheeler. Before h . reached Decatur, Swayne turned his trains off so as ' throw them in behind the Army of the Cumberlan and thus prevented Iverson's division of Rebel cavalr from capturing them, which General Wheeler had as signed it to do, and joined Sprague in his defence o! Decatur. His regiment took part in the movements around Atlanta, which were a continual battle up to August igth, when I left that command. He took part in the movement to the rear of Atlanta, destroyed the railway near Fairbury on August 29th, and reached Jonesboro and Lovejoy Station, where on September ; 3rd, General Swayne in his report of the campaign says of his regiment: "After four months of labor, dangers 1 and experience, without impairing its patriotism had exhausted its strength, it welcomed an order finally announcing the close of the campaign that had already yielded the fruition of its hopes." He also said: ! higher tribute is due to the suffering and the dea M the last sacrifice to freedom has been freely made, ai wounds just less than death have been borne as brave : men can. Last winter all but a fraction of the enlisted' men renewed their pledge of service, knowing all its meaning. In carrying out that pledge the hard trials i of war have been met freely but these only have been called to show the full honor and devotion of their act. They have shown it with their bodies and their lives— more than this cannot be written." General .Sprague, who commanded the brigade General Swayne served in during the Atlanta cam paign, speaks of him thus: "To Colonel Wager Swayne, Forty-third Ohio Infantry, my profound |FTv.lA thanks are due and rendered for his untirinsf zeal and never failing gallantry thronghout the long and arduous campaign. Such has been his devotion to duty, and so faithfully have they been seconded by the ofificers and men that at no time during the entire campaign could they be found not ready to meet the enemy." General O. O. Howard, who commanded the Army of the Tennessee, writes as follows: "When 1 took command of the Army and Department of the Ten nessee July 27th, 1864, Swayne had risen by promotion to the Colonelcy. He commanded his regiment and finally a brigade in campaign and battle. He was with General G. M. Dodge, Commander of the Sixteenth Corps, in the battles of July 22nd and 28th, 1864. The fi rst is called the Battle of Atlanta and the second the Battle of Ezra Church. He is frequently mentioned by his brigade, division and corps commanders for his promptitude, bravery, energy and fi delity to duty. On the consolidation of the F"ifteenth. Sixteenth and .Seventeenth Corps, that is the portions on the front line, Swayne is found first with the Forty-third Ohio in the Seventeenth Corps, and later as the senior colonel commanding a brigade in General Mower's division." On October 3rd, 1864, Colonel Swajme was assigned to the command of his brigade. General Fuller com manding the division. He took part in the campaign to the rear of Atlanta, when Hood made his bold move ment on Sherman's communications and was checked at Altoona, and continued his march into Tennessee and was finally so signally defeated at Franklin and Nashville. This was a campaign of marching rather than fighting, and after it was over they returned to Atlanta. ■ , ' " V ■ . f''.C ' -!,■ \ i ,' L . . ' ■ ■ In the campaign from Atlanta to Savannah, Colonel Swayne's regiment was in the Second Brigade, com manded by General Sprague of the First Division, commanded by General Joseph A. Mower, of the Seventeenth Army Corps, commanded by Genera Frank P. Blair. It moved out of Atlanta on November 15th and marched to Savannah, but only an occasional skirmish disturbed this picnic of the old Army of the Tennessee. After the capture of Savannah, with the rest of General Sprague's brigade the regiment held the important post of Dillon's Bridge. After Savannah came the campaign through the Carolinas. General Swayne's regiment was in the same brigade, division and corps. On January 3rd, 1865, the Seventeenth Corps was put upon transports and taken to Beaufort, S. C., to avoid the swamps and streams that the right flank of our army would have to encounter by land, and was to join Sherman's army at Pocotaligo. This march commenced January 3rd, and Pocotaligo was reached on January 14th. As soon as the left wing of the army crossed the Savannah River, the right wing on February ist moved to Whippy Swamp. General Mower's division of the Seventeenth Corps, of which Colonel Swayne's regiment was a part, found the road obstructed by trees, but soon cleared the way and built a corduroy road and bridge, and was soon across the river on the east side. On reaching the road leading to Bruxton Bridge General Mower developed the enemy in force, and the bridge, a long one over the Salkahatchie, he found the enemy had destroyed. Mower pushed on rapidly up the river to River's Bridge, about five miles above, and prevented ^ '■j'' .'U-Nv '' ' ■ . . . V the enemy from' destroying it, but was met by a furious discharge of musketry and artillery, and here it was that Colonel Swayne fell, being hit by a piece of shell which made necessary the amputation of his leg. At the time he was directly under the eye and orders of General Mower, who in speaking of this says: '"After saving the bridge, I ordered the Forty-third Ohio Veteran Infantry to move in and take position on the right of the road. While showing Colonel Swayne his position a piece of shell struck him in the leg rendering amputation necessary, which deprived me of the services of a very brave and valuable officer." In his letter to me General O. O. Howard pays this tribute to General Swayne: "On February 2nd, 1865, near River's Bridge, I wrote a letter to General Sherman. This letter contained this clause. 'General Mower succeded in preventing the rebels from destroy ing the bridge (River's Bridge across Salkahatchie), but discovered an earthwork upon the other shore with two pieces of artillery bearing upon the road ; the rebels opened fire as soon as our men appeared. Colonel Wager Swayne of the Forty-third Ohio, commanding brigade, lost his leg.' That morning, February 2nd, 1865, I was moving towards the front near the head of the second marching division, when Colonel Swayne was brought near to me, as I remember it, upon an army stretcher, possibly it was a roughly made support put together with boards and joists, as some of his friends say. The shell, or fragment of a shell, which had so badly injured his leg had left it in a fearful state. We were in a grove of pines at the time, .and I thought that I could ease the position of his limb ' '*>■ i ■ - r J > Vi-' - ■ • ,v^-' : y>"^:"i • ^ ' -I while the bearers were resting, as I took several piney burrs of large size and straightening the limb held it in position with the bnrrs, as you would prevent a gun from rolling. What I did seemed to give Colonel j Swayne immediate relief. He looked up into my face j with a pleasant smile, beaming expression, and said , substantially' 'The Lord sustains me.' I have often , said and fully believe that that expression was a key to his whole successful career and beautiful life. While he was as fearless as a man could well be, he always j leaned strongly upon the arm of the Lord. His faith was simple, but was undoubting and unvaried. Integ rity best expresses the character of the man. That remark 'The Lord sustains me,' in the midst of extreme peril, when there was hardly a chance for life to con tinue, impressed me so strongly that just as soon as I found that he would be willing to accept a position in my organization of the Freedmen's Bureau, I sought and obtained his assignment to the Commissionership of Alabama in 1865." On being wounded he was carried back to Savannal in an ambulance, with an escort of cavalry, and thenc by steamer to New York, where after a long time h recovered. On March 8th, 1865, he was made a Brigadier-Genert of United States Volunteers, and on June 20th, 1865, hi was appointed Major-General, U. S. V., and on July 26th, 1865, he reported for duty at Montgomery as Assistant Commissioner of the State' of Alabama of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands. In speaking of his services in this difficult position, Whitelaw Ried, in his "Ohio in the War" says : "Here, through the manifold vV fy • .'f" T': '' L p ; ■ ' < . "W ' ■ U -rt VA'' ■/ ■ ^ ^ • '.tj « troubles of the reorganization, General Swayne con tinued to bear himself no less honorably than in the field. Recognizing clearly for what he had fought, and fully resolved that no act of his should help to cheat the nation out of the fruits of its victory, he steadily cast his influence in favor of impartial justice and equality before the law for all. The efforts of the party which sought to give these principles punctual recognition in the reorganization, found in him a firm supporter. He was prominent in their public meetings, and soon be came a civil as well as a military power in Alabama." In his letter to me, General O. O. Howard saj's of General Swayne's work : "For nearly two years Gen eral Swayne had the management of nearly everything connected with the affairs of Alabama. As soon as the new Governor w^as appointed by President Andrew Johnson, General Swayne went to him and made him his friend. A little later he came to command the State in addition to his bureau duties as Military Governor. His thorough knowledge of the law, his splendid diplomatic ability, his high character and Christian courtliness enabled him in reality to lead my other Assistant Commissioners in rehabilitating the State so that the whites and the freemen could live to gether in comparative peace and prosperity. It would take a volume to set forth what he did. After relieving want and establishing good schools, he first saw to it that the negroes testimony should be received in all the courts of that State. This ended, he worked out in a wonderful way against a prejudice and an opposition of a most pronounced character. General Swayne, contrary to his first expectations, a "TV V ■ ■ > V' . ' ■ little later found the Alabama legislators anything but fair and just. He, General Swayne, said: 'The vagrant law of Alabama operates most iniquitously upon the freemen. In terms the law makes no distinc tion on account of color, but in practice the distinction is invariable. I am satisfied that the law would be an nulled if fairly tested. I have taken up three cases under it by habeas corpus, but in every case the persons were discharged for information in the commitment without reaching the merits of the case.' So many grievances occurred that even Swayne, with whom the good Governor sought to co-operate, was forced to re establish bureau courts in several of the worst localities. The "Swayne School" and also the "Emerson School" at Montgomery, Alabama, not now found in the United States School Reports, were absorbed in the newer "State Normal School for Colored Students," which gives an aggregate enrollment for 1896 of 809 pupils and 20 teachers. General Swayne, my diligent and able Assistant Commissioner, aided these schools in every possible way. The Talladega Alabama Normal School began about the same time as that at Tougalos, under the same paV.'onage, and having General Swayne's active and efficient aid. Its name was soon changed to college. In 1869 there were 2 teachers and 70 scholars. In 1896 we fi nd Talladega College in full and active operation. The total enrollment was 577 students, coming from seven states. There are 23 in the body of officers and instructors. Just before he died he told me some of the details of his operations and felt prouder of his work then and there than at any period of his life. .

Very sincerely yours, O. O. HOWARD." On July 28th, 1866, General Swayne was commis sioned as Colonel of the Forty-fifth Infantry, U. S. A., and on March 2nd, 1867, was brevetted Major-General, United States Army, for gallant and meritorious services during the war. He was retired July ist, 1870. -Since General Swayne's death, I have received a letter from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, dated December, 23rd, 1902, written by Colonel Charles Morton, who was a comrade of General Swayne's in the war. In this letter Colonel Morton says : " The first time I met him after my return from the Santiago campaign was in front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. I was getting off and he on a Broadway car. I met him in the door, he on his crutches. He let the car wait, and throwing his arms around me, exclaimed God bless you! I am glad to see you back alive. I helped him off the car. He fi nally asked me to send him any recommenda tions I might have, and a comprehensive synopsis of my service. I did so, and he recommended me for a Col onelcy in the regular army. When I met him again he asked me if I had received the appointment. I told him I had not; that I had not received any advance ment ; that I was on the Pacific Ocean when the • • '.* •')*'. v" •"■'»* '. • " . r ,i* » .

He touched his bell and a stenographer appeared, and he commenced to dictate a letter to President Roosevelt, asking him to appoint me a Brigadier General. I fi nally demurred, telling him that no one could enjoy or appreciate being a General better than myself^ but my friendly relations were such with the President (we were together two days under fire at Santiago) that I could not ask him a favor ; that I did not want him to think I was asking a favor, or importuning him in any way, and while I appreciated the kindness of his heart sincerely, I would i prefer he would not send the letter. He said: "Your friendly relations with the^^ President have nothing to do with my relations with him, and I am writing this solely upon my own part''. He firmly disavowed my having anything to do with its dictation and sent it. I thanked Ifim for his sincere interest in me, and great kindness. He tried to dismiss the subject, and fi nally said: when, I got up this morning I wondered if I could be of any good or benefit to myself or anyone that day, and that my call had furnished the opportunity, and I had really done him a favor besides giving him the pleasure of my call. P'or many years I had regarded him as the great citizen of our country. Disinterested except for the best interest of our country, simply a great, pure, patriotic citizen. From all of which you my infer my feelings on reading of his death." After the war General Swayne returned to Toledo, where he took up the practice of law, and became attorney for one of the competing telegraph lines with which I was connected, and won such great victories for it against the Western Union Company which was * .A » 4 : " V 'V .t ' A 1 , ■ ■ .•sA/W;.. A,. ■■ ] all powerful then, that he was brought by those interests to New York. Of course when he reached here our old friendship was renewed, and we were intimately together in both social and business ways. He was my personal attorney, and also attorney for several of the roads with which I was connected, and it has always been one of the great pleasures of my life in New York to be with him. It is a singular fact that the very last time I met him General O. O. Howard and myself were in the Union League Club together when General Swayne came in, and we all three dined together. Swayne seemed to be at his best, and was saying kind things of Howard and myself, and told us some instances where the old soldiers said kind things of us, and some things that had been said that were not so kind, but all interesting to us, and niuch of it new, as it had passed out of our memories, \Ye remained there talking until every person in the dinning; room had left. When we rose from the table ind were going out one of the gentlemen who had Deen dining there came to me and said : ''We have all ) oeen watching the earnestness with which General Howard, General Swayne and yourself have been talk1 'ng, and we all wished that it had been possible for us t o have been listeners to what you had to say, for we 1 mow it would have been of great interest. We could s ee that you were talking about old times " During all his later life the great interest he has ( taken in the old soldiers is well known to you, and his 1 being so long Commander of the New York Com 1 nandery gave every one of you an opportunity to 1 meet, greet and know him, and I do not hesitate to say '• ^ -t i ■ ■''v. V-L, ".-"''■Vo'ny, v,-; I that he had something more than your respect. 1 believe that every one of you had a great affection fpi him. Whenever he spoke to you he had something new and interesting, and he never tired of saying kinc words of you, and of all old soldiers, and doing wha. he could for them. Perhaps no one knew him more intimately than I did. I saw him in camp, on the march, in battle, in the trials, annoyances and hardships that come to a good soldier. He never complained, he was always looking out for his men, anxious only, for them. 1 have seen his regiment on short rations, without proper clothing and many of them baie-footed, but not a growl or a grumble came from them; they knew they would be cared for as soon as the necessitie | of their long marching were over, and their love an J confidence in their commander was shown when th^ J almost unanimously veternized in December, 1863. f the war he was the same modest, unassuming but clea headed and deliberate officer that you have seen her n in civil life. He held a commanding position here in New York and as a leader in public matters he came quickly t( , the front of best performance, and maintained the higf est standard throughout his career. In social lif benevolent and church connections he was alwa} trusted and beloved. As a soldier, a scholar, a lawy. and above all as a consistent Christian gentleman, I ■ had endeared himself to all of us, and all who met ai knew him. In all the walks of life he was a credit an ; great honor to this Commandery and to our Country, j IS' t f ^ 2^ 585 f My dear General: Will you act as one of the pall bearers at my mother's funeral on Saturday—you have always been such a friend of our family's and were so close to both my father and mother, that we all look to you for help in this time of affliction.

A. at the Chamber of Commerce Dinner, December 20, 1902, The text Riven me is as broad as the country's history. It suRgests the struggle for freedom in the campaigns from Lexington to Yorktown; the battles on the frontier of Michigan and of New Orleans; from Palo Alto to Chepultepec, Fort Rumpter to Appomattox; from Santiago and Porto Rico to the Phillippines and to Pekin and a long list of Indian 'Vars, all rich in valor and far reaching results of benefit to the country and civilization. But it is not to the past I shall address myself rather to the present and future, inviting your particular attention to the pressing needs of the military service. We have much that is satisfactory; our officers and men are the best,— sober, brave and intelligent. We are fortunate in having a permanent military estab lishment of volunteers. What is known as the regular army is in the highest sense a volunteer army, every officer and man takes service of his ov/n motion, and be it said, that, from the beginning of the Government to the present day there has never been a conscription for the regular army. The only conscription we have ever had was to fill the quotas for some of the States during the war of the Union. But to our needs. It is perfection of organization that is demanded. A harmonious and intelligent method of co-ordination and direction. For a century we have nursed the hope that radical defects would adjust themselves. During the past century we have had many statutes aiming to promote the efficiency of the army, and enacted with good intent; but, they have as a rule related to ^ department and not always with, intelligent relation to Smv words, laws for the administration of the i^or>+i -s + Si^^^^ted on the statute books in many parts, without a of legislative thought, so that starting out with the consti tutional provisions that the President shall commend the Army and Nnvv you soon overtake conditions which baffle and bother tho^P TIv responsibilities connected there»lth. TLt these nnha^ov co^H^^f- ^ obtain is largely due to the fact ttat nrLe hal o??e?ed a safle?»Lo. solution. Secretary Root offers one. He recommends that a bo"d of experts shall be created at the head of which there shall bp rank who shall be the chief mllltajrofnc" ol the War Department to be known as the Chlpf nf c' + qp-p r, i. ^4 . ? the President and Secretary of ilr!

The President is authorized to detail the Chief of Staff from the General officers of the line or staff, thereby giving him -a large number from which to make the - selection and while performing this important duty the officer detailed shall have the rank commensurate with this important duty. At the expiration of the detail as Chief-of Staff, the officer returns to his rank in the line or corps or department from which he was selected. The bill does not increase the number of officers but continues the numbers and rank now provided for the Army. In the event the senior officer is not selected for Chief of Staff provision is made that he shall have a command commensurate with his rank and experience. The exacting duties of administration and detail may not appeal to the senior o-eneral. In such instances only, would the provision of the detail of another than the senio-r apply. That there has been friction no one can wonder. That there has not been more is a matter for congratulation. Perfect harmony of administsation is no more possible under existing conditions of law and regulations conflicting with constitutional provisions, than the placing of two pegs in one hole. During the War with Spain the Department was presided over hv a secretary who had served with honor and great distinction for full fLws Union and who in business affairs incivil life had achieved marked success. General Alger of Michigan. Under Secretarv Alger s administration. war was carried to, full and complete success. 5 K relating to active operation of war being done the work Islands was next in order. government-in President Cuba, McKinley Porto Rico determined and the the PhiliooiL head of ^ M the Department should now be presided over by one of marked legal abilltv and training, one distinguished for his knowledge of constitutional ^ law and the ruling of our courts in all such auestlL^ . possessions should have governments builded on solid and lasting^legal^^^^ foundations. The concensus of opinion of those concjin+Pfi ne ^ degree these qualifications, determined the"^ sidenfs selection of the present Secretary of War. The wisdom of advantage of being helpful in eve?y direction ai^hnnfJi^® ? no question has Mr. Root addreseed fiv, hurtful in none.

Gen. H. C. Corbin . and investigation, free from any feeling of partiality toward any officer or officers of either the line or staff in the Department or out of it. His first thought has been the satisfactory solution of perplexities that have for long years confronted the country and the Depaifctment. He finds faulty administration due to a lack of proper organization and co-ordination. He offers a bill that in his judgment will cure the existing evils and make harmony;-ii!itelligence, and efficiency take the place of confusion and apparent contention, the blame for which cannot rightfully be charged to men, but to the conflict of law and regulations with the most clearly defined provision of the constitution. Just so long as the constitution stands, just so long must the command of the army rest under the President and"his constitutional representative and executive officer, the Secretary of War. Under these conditions not only the Secretary of War, but the President should have the advice and counsel of the best military experts that can be given them bv a chief of Staff, who will be selected by the President from among the general officers of the army, and supporting the Chief of S*aff'a board of military experts. This is a solution entirely in consonance with our form of government. It gives the President and Secretary of War the information necessaryfor intelligent and efficient administration. It serves to accentuate in a forceful way the subordination of the railitarv to civil authority. Mr. Root's plan is not the German or French plan or that existing in any foreign army. While he may have gained valuable suggestions by a close study of the organization of foreign armies, his scheme is wholly American and conceived on the lines and spirit of our government; and is in close touch with the constitution. It should be accepted in the spirit it is offered and there is no question but that it. ir It tJ" is worth If the while intelligent even in consideration your busy lives of to the give country your is thoughts given and to charfL charged with the + H administration important of great affairs problem.' find Should jour those organization of you censure your faithful subordinates for that fault? . board of ne directors, +' correct would the hold fault them and blameless, then and and then assembling only Lid yourall „It is a matter of as much concern to the every course loyal SecretarrRoot citizen nc: +/-» propSL. +vm itself.

Each of hs has already more than forty years service, and collectively it covers almost a century and a quarter. While our service has been ionr,. and at times tedious and seVere, we have the satisfaction that Roes, with abundant reward. In passing; let me say that in each General present the youth of the land will find an inspiration that will cheer him on, each of us havinp, started on our careers as farmer's boys with no aid but 'our own efforts, demonstrating in a way that in this country all things are possible to all men. The young man who enters the army should understand that he consecrates his life to patriotism and comparative povert3r. The rewards in the army under any conditions are few. The youth desirous of fame and fortune should not seek a place in the military service. Civil life offers a far more fruitful field. In the arm.Vj only few can have high rank, and but few of these ever reach the dignity of real a nd ever lasting fame. In all our history. Washington, Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan alonfi have reached it. Many (bbhers have achieved high rank and great distinction, and the respect and admiration of their ,countrymen. The same talent, application and enterprise that gains rank and distinction in the army would in the business or professional world bring far greater reward both in the way of position and compensation. Many deserving officers wear their lives away without the reward of rank. The fact is, there never'has been or never will be places for all or any consider able number of the deserving however strong their claims, so that at life's end the greater number must console themselves with the concious- _ ness of dutv well done. This is not the reward that glitters, but it A comforts, and all in all, it is about the best that can come to the most favored. It is within the reach of all and we can but call him fortunate who gains it, but continued effort, and the coinstant appli cation of the principles' of true manhood are necessary to its possession. It is a decoration that the man with the gun can win .quite as readily as •the officer with the sword. It is becoming the citi?.en and soldier alike. f . ■».!■■ ■ ' ..

I am very »nxious to get your detailed statement of the number of bonds you have so as to know whether they are all in, I shall spend the day in Port to-morrow and the next day in Dallas then I shall go North to the mines and Chicago. The more I study the situation over here the more I see the necessity of building to Red River a distance of 18 miles. The Wichita Valley Charter does not cover an extension North so I believe it would be better build under a new Charter and have the same kind of Charter in Oklahoma. I think I can get the right-of-way to the River and I believe I can get the people here to furnish the piles necessary to cross Red think it to our interest. I have been figuring the cost ^ miles. The material, new rails, ties and bridge material will cost about ^'100,000, the grading and all other work will cost betwppi |40,000 and ^n.ooo so if you. Walters and 1 will put in fsJ.Sw apiece!

New York- City, December 22, 1902. ^iy dear General: I know you will want the particulars of the death and burial of Krs . Grant. She died on Sunday, 14th instant, at 11:45 P .Ik!. An hour before she died she was sitting in her chair talking about going down to Texas to visit Pred. She had been failing during the last sumn.er, but they did not look for her departure so suddenly, although we hove known for some little time that it was possible she might be taken at any tinie . As I have said, she was sitting in her chair,secming to be very lively, and finally she said she would go to bed, and after they had put 'her in bed she continued talking of Pred and the children. She had a suspicion that she was sicxer than they told her, and she asked l^'.rs . Sartoris if she was not sicker than she thought she was, and also asked her if they had telegraphed the children. Of course Ivirs. Satoris told her "No," She hod been in bed but a short time before she went to sl'eep and never awakened, goin^ off as pleasantly and quietly as she would sleep and she would like to have done. None of the family were in Washington except iv.rs. Sartoris and her two daughters. I reached Washington Sunday night, and went to the house Ivionday morning and took charge and made all the arrange ments for the funeral in Aiashington . Secretary Root immediately touk hold and arranged the transportation, and gave us the keigs, and ordered the army officers, to appear in full uniform. The E::ecutive Gomnittee of the Grant Itionument Association was imiriediately called together, and they.placed Biakeman in charge of everything in New York., the Association assuming charge of everything from Jersey City. Biakeman came over to see Hoot and myself, and we endeavored to have present here in New Y^rk everyone who should be there. You will see from the papers that we included almbst everyr body you would wish present. When his mother died. General Grant was at the mouth of -the Rio Grande. He arrived in Washington late Thursday night. He had to travel 160 miles by stage. The funeral was held in the Kethodist church at 4.l/2 and C Streets, which Ceneral ard Mrs. Grant used to attend,and ^Dr. Bristol officiated. The President and all his cabinet, the Supreme Court, District ComiTiissioners, Congress, Diploii.atic Corps were ..resent, and qUite a large gathering of the Society oi the Army of the Tennessee, of which I» r s. Grant was a member, also representatives of the Army of the Potomac, Army oft. e Cumberland, G.A.R. and Doyal Letion. The galleries were crowded with citizens, and the officers of the army and navy turned out in a body in fuil dres uniform, making a very imposing furneral. The sei'vices lasted an hour, and I had everything aboard the train ten minutes be.fore eleven. Theri. can.e to Hew Y rk only the niembers of the family. Buck Grant arrived from California at Ten o'clock, and got to the ch.urch in tims for the services. 594 Jesse did not £:et there. Both he and Buck were l^id out over sixteen hours on account of snow. '^-e arrived in New York with thee, body and family at five o'clock, and were met by Blakeman and i.ayden of the Association, and by. twenty-five members of the U. S. Grant Post as a ^uard of honor'.'^ - The cofi'in was placed on the teigs. Buck Grant, and Hayden r,oing with it direct to the tomb, where it was placed in the sarcophagus, tiie lid'lowered and sealed, and the scaffolding and other things gotten out of the way. At eleven o'clock on Sunday, in one of the heaviest rains you ever say, tte services took place, conducted by Bishop Andrews, of the hethodlst Church, and hackaye-Smith .of Philadelohia, an..old friend of the family, taking part. ''"e limited the number of invitations to what the tomb would hold in the rotunda, somie four hundred, and tie y were all ther notwithstanding the rain. The officers of the army and navy attended in a body, as Root had ordered-them out here as well as in '"ashington. Th.e ceremionict. were very impressive. There would have been twenty thousand people outside"^ if it had not rained. As it was over two thousand stood there two hours in the down-pour, and we let them into thetomb as soon as the services were over. You v/ill^see that at the tomb ghe entire family were present. ^^rs. urant s two sisters were present in .'ashington but were too feeble to conie over here, but the General's two sisters were present here. The only persons absent wer.e young who is in the Philippines, and the. iamilies of Buck anT Jesse who were .n California. ' The fandly were greatly pleased with all the arrangemients and the attention given them, and it is wonderful whht a tribure the whole world has given; messages have come to the family from all quarters of the earth. The floral display was beautiful.^ There w^re nearly one hundred pieces in Washinfton and forty or fifty were added here, so thi. t the tomb was a rerular bed of flowers. lenclose you the cards we sent out from here. The whole affair in Washington and here went off without a hitch, as they always do when people are in charge who know how to handle such matters. 1 enclose two slips from the papers, and when I get those riving account of the funeral in 'A'ashington I will send them to you.'. The oeci-etary of Aar was present at both ceremonies, then he and I haci to go tc l)ury our old friend Bwajne, whose funeral oc-- curred rt 2:30 P.IV.. of th.e san,e day, , ^ send you in a few days a copy of my sketch on the life and services of Williamson. Tlie old comrades arc passing awav pretty rapidly. Itrust you are well. my own health is' excellent. The President wrote a beautif 1 letter to the family, and took a great interest in all the arrangements. He and Root stood ready to do everything 1 asked, leaving the matter entirely to me as to what should be done, and Ithought it only fitting and proper that we should pay as much resriect as poseible to the memory of h^'rs. Truly and cordially yours. General Horace Porter, Ambassade Des Etats Unis, Paris, France. Grenville N.. Dodge 585 Dewemtier 22, 1902. New York, Decemlier 22, 1902. My dear kind General: Your note, with the two letters enclosed, came Just this evening, and I am sending them hack to you as req^uested, after having read them with the greatest interest and satisfaction. You have done a very kind and noble deed, to have thus set forth my father's claims to praise and distinction for the part he played in life as a citizen and a soldier. *Tis said that Republics are un grateful, and sometimes States are also amiss, and I have sometimes felt that that had been so in Iowa,but perhaps my father was too mod est en his side, 1 have thou^t so very often. Your article may make some of the older ones think again of c'ays gone by with a quickened appreciation. In the name of the family of Williamson, again I thank you. Haidee Williamson. What is the date for the next Reunion of the Tenn. Army? 597 December, 1902. New York City, December 23, 19C2 r/y deer H'iss Sherman: I received youra of December 5th while in \"ashin£;ton .making arrangements for ^'rs. Grant's funeral ceremonies there and in Kew York. Her body was placed in the tomb with very in'Oressive ceremonies in tte presence of a .distinguished gathering. A great tribute Vrac paid to her, not:only by this country, but by testimon ials that came from all over the world. I note wliat yo say about notifying frs .•• Tahckers, which, of course, will be done. Vi'e shall give notice to all the members of the family in tin.e for their' to reach here. Ishall keep Gumph posted, so he can tell the rest. It looks now as though .he unveil ing would coM.e in I»ay--the wrok is far enough advanced for that, '''e have added very n.aterially to the beauty of the monumient by putting a. sub-base around the pedestal, which relieves its heighth, and in this enlarged base, (v/hich is froii six to ten feet wide} will be a mosaic walx-, which wil.l have the General's battles worked in the mosaic instead of on the pedestal, which will relieve it. I was in Washington last week and obtained an appropriation of V8.000 for this work. The ground around the monument is so steep we found it was ne esssry to broaden out the base to give it symn.etry, and Congress was very glad to make the appropr-iation. I trust that you are well and enjoying yourself in Paris. Iv'y health is. excellent. Tie Arn.y of the Tennessee, Army of the Ohio, Army of the Cumberland and Army of the Potomac have all signified their intention of being present at the unveiling of the monunent, and the (Govern ment, of cours§, will take part officially. I have secured Hon. D. B.

This anniversary day this year is rather a sad one to m.e, for I have had to lay to rest during the last week a dear friend, the wife of General U. S. Grant, whom I have known ever since 1862. At one time the first lady of the land, not only our country but all parts of the earth mourn her loss, and the messages that have come to her family show the resj-iect andiove in which she was held univer sally. Te laid her beside the body of her distinguished husband in the Grant Tomb on Riverside in New Y^rk last Sunday. This fall snotl er distinguished friend, con!r:.de and citizen of Iowa, General Willian.son, who started out with m.e as Adjutant of the Ith Iowa, was laid to reat in I'ashington. On last Sunday the last sad honors were paid to General Wager Swayne, who served under me for nearly three years, and was my personal friend and attorney ever since. You can see asthese old comrades pass away that it brings to me a feeling of sadness, but their lives should be aguide andexam^le to you who are assembled to make merry at this Cliristmas gathering. I regret very much that I cannot be with you to see arid greet you, but I extend to you rr.y heartiest greetings and nty best wishes for your health and future welfare.

December 27, 1902 My dear General Doflge; As you may have noticed, Johnston of the Adjutant Generals Department has tendered his resignation to take effect the first of Februaru. He goes out to take charge of the Vandergrift estate, which you know is very large; perhaps, all things considered, he has taken the wise course, anyway he has taken it and it is a great loss, not only to my department, but to the service at large. As Chairman of the Commission that Investigated the conduct of the War with Spain you are possessed, as perhaps no other one is, of the spiendid service he rendered in connection with the organisation, not only of the volunteer, but the regular array. Prom the beginning until the date of his resignation he has been in charge and practically responsible for all that related to the enlistment and administration of the enlisted force of the army, a work he has dene with singular fidelity. The thought has come to me that in severing his relations with the service it would be a proper recognition of his great merit, to confer upon him the grade of Brigadier General. A vacancy now exists. I think a good strong letter from you to the President and one to the Secretary of War would give me the help I feel I need in the premises. If you can see your way clear to do so and do it at once, I shall be obliged. We must get the action between now and the 5th of January, the date of the reassembling of the Senate or the vacancy will be filled and the opportunity passed. Of course resignation will hold even if promoted. With all good wishes for the coming New Year, I am with very great regard. Gen. G. M. Dodge, NO.l Broadway, N.Y. City Faithfully yours, Henry C. Corbin 603 December, 1902, New York City, December 27, 1902. ^■y dear Sir '"illiam: I control the patents of a telephone system, which. If put in operation alon^; the line of the Cuba Kailroad, would provide cheap and effective telephone comiiunication between the main line and all the towns along the road on the north and south coasts. The rail road stations can in many cases be utilized as "Centrals," and the lines run ten or iifteen miles into the towns,taking in all the sub scribers. A town large enough to furnish forty oh fifty subscribers could have a local exchange with connecting lines run to the main line. A message could then be sent by telephone irom a coast town and transmitted over the railway telegraph, or better, the present telegraph poles can be utilized to carry telephone trunk line so that telephone communication nay be held between all the towns, and the system gradually extended over the island. ' The system is cheap, as it enables a large number of sub scribers to be palced on a small number of wires on the party line plan, without the annoyance of bells ringing in stations not desired. The instruments differ but little from the ordinary telephone, and can be made for about the same outlay. The whole system is very simple, and I have spent a good deal of iiioney in developing it andputting it in.practical use. It is peculiarly fitted for a sparsely settled country, because we can put 12 subscribers on three wires. The great advantage of this system over the ordinary party line used by Dell is that each subscriber can talk without any"other hearing, ^hen we .et to building the telephone line in Cuba I would like to put it in there. It can be used on our telegraph line if yai pro pose to usetelephones on it. I do not expect anything for the use of the system. All the Cuba Railroad Co. would have to do would be to build the line and buy Lne instruments, the same as they would ay other telephone. I want to get thesystem in practical use on a large systn,e . if you desire 1 can send you blue print and full description of tlie centi'al office, and how it works. Then you conie in ^'Onday I v 11], take the mati.er up with you, or would be glad to have kr. Charles B. Sn.ith, the inventor do so. h'.r. Smith is a son of the late Chief tlectrician of the Testern '-nion Telerraph Company, who was tlie inventor of this system. There are no com plications, machinery or anything else about it out of the ordinary, except that in the box it has one extia relay. Very truly yours. G. V. Dodge. Sir Filliam C Van Home, 80 Broadway, New York. eo5 Dec. 1902 2111 Massachusetts Ave., Washington, DJC. December 29,1902 My dear Genl. Dodge I must express again to you personally and through you to all the members of the "Grant Monument Association", my heartfelt thanks and those of my sister and brothers for the kind sympathy and consider ation shown us by you all at this time of our sorrowful loss. We assure you that vie are most grateful for the tribute paid by you and your Association in carrying out the dying wish of my dear father, that my mother should be placed at his side for the long rest. Words cannot exoress all our gratitude to you and to the "Grant Association" as well as to the Society of the Army of the Tennessee. We can only beg you all to accept our thanks which I hope to express at some future time in person, more fully. I take great pleasure in enclosing to you herewith a photograph of our dear mother to be used in- the report of her death by the Society of the Army of the Tennessee. Mother was born January 26th, 1826, married August 22nd. 1848 and died Dec. 14th, 1902. I give you this as data for your use in this report. Hoping to see you before I leave for Texas and with warmest regards and appreciation of all your kindness, believe me, dear General Most faithfully yours, Frederick D. Grant. Dec. 1902 GO? New York, Dec. 30, 1902 General Grenville M. Dcdse, No.l Broadway, N. Y. City My dear General;- You followed Gen. Porter as Commander and was elected May 1, I 1897. That, you will remember was the year of McKinley s first in auguration, of Porter's appointment to France and of the Grant Momxment parade, and I remember very well talking with you about your acceptance. I think Porter first suggested your name and I have no doubt he conferred with General Swayne and asked him to see you. I am very glad that you have undertaken the proposed paper. I informed General Burnett several days ago of our conversation and he then expressed the hope that you would undertake *hat you now say you have commenced. With compliments of the season, believe me Yours truly, A. Noel Blakeman December, 1902. New York City, December 30, 1902 ¥y dear ^'r. President.* have learned with great regret that Lieut. Colonel John A. Johnston has tendered his resignation in the United States Army to take effect the first of February. I understand that pri vate matters have induced him to take this step, and, perhaps, all things considered, it was necessary and wise for him to take this course. ^ know it will be a great los;: to the Adjutant General's department and the scrivce at large, for as Chairman of the Commiss ion that investigated tie conduct of the '^ar with Spain, am poss essed,as probr bly no other one Is outside of the "'ar Department, of informati n concerning the splendid service he rendered in connection with the organization, not only of the volunteer, but the regular army. From the beginning to the end of the Spanish 'A'ar, in the Fhilip^.'ines, and I understand since that time, he has been in charge and practically responsible for all that related to the enlistment and admdnistration of the .enlisted force of the aripy, and it is not necessary for me to speak of what importance and value this service has been. I have also personal knowledge of Colonel-. Johnston' s abil ity in the organization and movement of large forces, for he has twice been on miy staff, when two of the largest columns ever moved in this country were organized and handli_d, and I discovered then that he was an officer of great proniise, of experience and m.uch ad ministrative ability. As he leaves the service, the suggestion I desire to submiit is this. Cannot his services be recognized officially, as we all know them, by making him a Brigadier General? This would not inter fere with the promotion of anyone, and would be no burden upon the United States, and believe it would be very satisfr ctory to the entire army, as they all know what his work has been. This is not an unusual step, for at the end of the Civil war this was. done in niany cases where officers had been of great service, and had not had an opportunity for promotion while in the line of their duty. I must say it would be a great gratification to me jiersonally to see Colon Johnston r-ecognized. Very respectfully yours, Crenville M. Dodge. Uon.
