Daniel Ruggles Report

This report of the Confederate Brigadier General Daniel Ruggles, dated 22 October 1862, was written one day after the latter had assumed command of District One of the army's Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana. Roughly speaking, the district encompassed the eastern half of Mississippi, minus the counties on the Gulf Coast. Before the reorganization of 21 October, Ruggles had been in temporary command of the district encompassing western Mississippi, called the District of the Mississippi; this is how the report is headed. It is addressed to Adjutant General Samuel Cooper in Richmond, and was written (and signed) by Ruggles' adjutant, Captain Roy Mason Hooe. It was accompanied by an unknown number of enclosures.
