Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Colonel Lyons.

 

Fort Donelson, July 28, 1863.—Adjutant Ruger has his commission and will leave us very soon for the Potomac. I mean to have Scott commissioned as Adjutant . Of course, I shall make him Post Adjutant if he is commissioned Regimental Adjutant.

Colonel Bruce was here on Saturday with his staff. I like him very much and think we will get along first rate.
