Military Reminiscences of the Civil War

THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. At Cross Lanes I met the commanders of the other brigades who were called in by General Rosecrans of an informal consultation based upon my knowledge of the country and the enemy. I naturally scanned them with some interest, and tried to make the most of the opportunity to become acquainted with them. General Benham I knew already, from his visit to me at Gauley Bridge in his capacity of engineer officer. I had met Colonel Robert McCook at Camp Dennison, and now that it was intimated that he would be for some days under my command, I recalled a scene I had witnessed there which left many doubts in my mind whether he would prove an agreeable subordinate.Cox, Jacob Dolson is the author of 'Military Reminiscences of the Civil War', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419234309 and ISBN 1419234307.
