OF THE 
IL 8. MILITARY ACADEM1 AT WEST POINT, 
FROM ITS ESTABLISHMENT, MARCH 16, 1802, TO THE ARMY REORGAN- 
IZATION OF 1866-67. 
By BREVET MAJOR-GENERAL GEORGE W. CULLUM, 
Colonel, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. 
(This Biographical Register comprises the Etats de Service of all graduates from 
the establishment of the Military Academy, in 1802, to 1867, inclusive, giving their 
promotions, stations, commands, war records, and civil services when they have left 
the army ; a complete register of the officers of the institution, with their histories; 
a full list of the military posts of the United States, present and past ; an alphabetical 
table of all battles, combats, sieges, actions, and skirmishes, in which graduates have 
participated ; besides much other useful and statistical information, showing from 
whence graduates were appointed cadets, to what arms promoted, the casualties of 
service, their rebellion record, and civil occupations after leaving the army. The work, 
containing some 2,300 biographies, is published in two large octavo volumes of nearly 
700 pages each, and printed from entirely new type, on fine paper, being in amount of 
matter equal to about five or six ordinary octavo volumes. The subscription price is 
$10 in cloth binding, or $14 in half morocco, for the entire work.) 
From Gen. U. S. Grant-General-in-Chief. 
Headquarters Army of the United States, 1 
Washington, D. C., February 17, 1868. j 
My Dear General-I have received your "Biographical Register of the Officers and 
Graduates of the United States Military Academy," which you have done me the honor 
to forward for my acceptance. The work ought to show to the enemies of the Military 
Academy, that if they expect to harm the institution in the minds of the American 
people, they must keep from their view the services rendered to the country by its 
graduates. Your book will receive the favor of all graduates, except, perhaps, here- 
after, from those who see recorded against them, "Joined in the Rebellion of 1861-66, 
against the United States." This ought to be odious. 
. With great respect, your obedient servant, 
U. S. Grant, General. 
1 From Lieut.-General W. T. Sherman. 
Headquarters Military Division of the Missouri, i 
St. Louis, February 15, 1868. j 
Dear General-I have received your kind note of February 11th, with the two vol- 
umes of the Biographical Register of the Officers and Graduates of the U. S. Military 
Academy, for which I have waited long. I believe I appreciate the vast amount of care 
and labor you have bestowed on this work, and feel certain you will be well rewarded 
for it in the thanks of the tens of thousands of families who will pore over these vol- 
umes to find therein recorded the brief histories of their friends. I have read your 
preface, and can hardly credit the fact that any intelligent man will now question the 
use and necessity of a military education. Men who profess the law, medicine, ma- 
chinery, or the arts, must first acquire a professional education. How much more 
necessary with us who hold in our hands the lives of so many people, and the honor 
and good name of the country itself? 
I also observe that you meet an objection by some people in the early part of our civil 
war, when the minds of all were aroused, excited, and apt to run astray. None of us 
contend that because we graduated at West Point, we are the less men, with all the 
passions and weaknesses of other men, liable to err, and even to crime; but the facts 
and figures given by you are conclusive on this point, that in the great heaving cause 
that shook our national fabric, a less proportion of our graduates were blinded and 
misled than of Senators and Representatives in Congress, of Judges of the Supreme 
Court, or of the colleges located in the most rigidly patriotic spots of our country- 
Yale and Harvard. 
I do not think we claim that West Point can in four years accomplish miracles and 
utterly remould the character of its pupils, but it has in the past and will make in the 
future, men more useful in the details of life, more reliable and faithful to their trusts, 
whether private or public, and more national in their attributes and aspirations, than 
any other system of education hitherto tried ; and these results are cheaply attained 
by our national Military Academy. 
While there is such unlimited freedom to the expression of public opinion as in our 
country, we must expect the widest criticism and the wildest views ; but my observa- 
tion convinces me that at no former period of our history was the Academy more firmly 
rooted in the respect and good opinion of our people than now, and I have no fears 
but that it will always receive the generous and fostering care of the Government. 
In the course of my service I have been thrown most intimately with volunteer 
officers who had not received the advantage of the West Point course ; but all, without 
exception, regretted that they had not enjoyed, in early life, the minute and systematic 
instruction in the elements of the military profession, which they realized were better 
taught at West Point than at any other institution of our country. 
Instead of learning the same things with the aid of books, they had to learn them in 
camp, sometimes at the expense of valuable lives. 
Knowing the intense interest you take in this subject, I assure you of my ardent 
sympathy and best wishes for your entire success. 
With great respect, 
W. T. Sherman, Lieutenant-General. 
From Major-General George IL Thomas. 
Louisville, Kt., February 17, 1868. 
My Dear General-I yesterday received, per Adams' Express, the copy of the 
Register of the Officers and Graduates of the U. S. Military Academy, which you were 
so kind as to send me, for which I beg you to accept my sincere thanks. 
Aside from its value to the graduates of the Military Academy, as containing a con- 
densed and reliable summary of their military and civil history after graduating, it 
must be a source of just pride to them to see there recorded indisputable evidence of 
as much loyalty among the alumni of our Alma Mater as can be met with among any 
other class of American citizens. 
I venture unhesitatingly to say, also, that no other institution of learning in the 
country has contributed more to the advancement of science and literature than the 
Military Academy at West Point. 
I am, very truly yours, 
Geo. H. Thomas, Major-General U. 8. A. 
3 From a distinguished Officer of Volunteers. 
My Dear General-In acknowledging a copy of your Register to-day received, I 
take the liberty to say how much curious instruction and pleasure I have found in a 
cursory examination of its most laborious details. I am reminded of the expressive, 
stern silence of the vacant place on the wall, once occupied by the picture of Marino 
Faliero among the Doges of Venice, when I look at your short final record of such 
graduates as Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. It seems to me very felicitous to 
leave them and all their barren honors without a word of mention, when they severed 
their connection with an institution which has been the splendid muse-presidium et 
decus-of National Life and Loyalty. It is grand. 
Your preface meets my warm sympathy. As a volunteer it was my lot to serve 
under, with, and over graduates of West Point. I felt the great delicacy of command- 
ing men bred to " le metier des armes" without offending their self-love or my own. 
And it is a pleasant memory to me that my warmest friendships were with regulars, 
graduates chiefly ; and I have often said that I was, in every duty, perfectly sure of the 
true, loyal, and whole-souled service of those men who knew so much better than my- 
self whether my orders were correct enough to justify the ready and energetic support 
which, in every instance of my experience in service, I received. My gratitude to these 
gallant men is glad to find even this private expression. I honored and felt for them ; 
and my grateful esteem for them all-those who taught me much and those who deli- 
cately concealed how much they could teach me, that I ought in my position to know- 
has left me with a most fraternal love for many individuals, and the highest regard and 
respect for the Military Academy as a faithful, essential bulwark of our safety. 
From a Graduate of Harvard College. 
General- .... Although a stranger, permit me to express the obligations which 
every citizen should feel for this most valuable and important contribution to the history 
of the nation ; and its preparation must have involved a much greater amount of labor 
than you even are willing to allow. 
The defence of West Point in your introduction will be of great value, and yet it is 
rather melancholy to think that any word of defence is needed, when the whole country, 
and even our heavens, are covered with monuments of its scientific attainments and 
achievements, and while the paths of the dead are but too thickly strewed with those 
other sad monuments which speak of patriotism, heroism, and faithful endeavor. 
But your pages have a record of the living, which must endear the Academy to the 
hearts and understanding of all this generation-if we except ambitious deciaimers and 
political demagogues ; and for the service which you have done to the body politic, you 
will excuse me if I take the liberty of thus expressing my grateful acknowledgments. 
From the North American Review. 
General Cullum has finally published his long-expected Revised Register of West 
Point Graduates. It is a book indispensable to every one who studies the military 
history or establishment of the Republic; but its keenest interest is for those who are its 
subject. It gives concisely, but fully and accurately, the leading events in the life of 
each graduate, from the opening of the Academy to the reorganization of the army, in 
186G; and the simple record of efforts, triumphs, and tragedies is the more affecting to 
the survivors from the close ties with which the Academy has bound together the Reg- 
ular Army. An esprit de corps, unknown to any other college in the country, is created 
by the very nature and regulations of the institution. Cadets just emerging from boy- 
hood are separated from their homes and from the world for four- years. For amends, 
they are bound together by constant intercourse and a systematic emulation in studies, 
arts, exercises, and amusements. They are in constant and familiar association with 
localities and scenes famous in Cadet tradition for the deeds of their predecessors, to 
which their. o^'n exploits are to be added,-both forming through their lives an 
exhaustless theme for the night watches in the, steaming jungles of the Everglades or 
the icy mountains of Oregon. And to whatever post an officer may go, he will be 
welcomed by those who know him intimately, at least by reputation, and with whom 
he has a thousand common interests. Isolation magnifies trifles ; and in the little 
absolute despotism of West l?oiut, party spirit runs high, and for ten years before the 
3 war, the Cadets took sides in their violent political disputes, almost to a man, as they 
were afterwards divided, in life or in death, on the hard-fought battle-fields of the great 
Rebellion ; and as then, after the dispute, Cadets would quietly fall in and march to 
mess to discuss over their hash the performance of their horses at cavalry drill, so, 
during the war. on our side at least, after the prisoners were brought in, it was no rare 
sight to find a Rebel as much at home in the camp of some former room-mate or com- 
rade, as though for the time every principle of the "little unpleasantness" was for- 
gotten, and the dingy Rebel gray was transformed, and represented to their eyes 
nothing but the old spruce uniform, more familiar to them both than any other. 
This freemasonry seems an obnoxious exclusiveness to some unreasonable opponents 
who ignore its advantages. It is probably one of the causes of the violent and unjust 
attacks to which the Academy is so often subject. The Preface of General Cullum's 
Register gives and suggests facts which should disarm such assailants, and which are 
invaluable for the defence made by its friends, and for candid inquirers after the 
truth. 
In the first years of the late war, many undeserved reproaches were thrown out 
against the Academy for failing to accomplish impossibilities, and the country seemed 
ignorant of the familiar principle, of which General Cullum here reminds us, that for 
great commanders, ability, knowledge, and experience-all three-are essential. In 
1861 there was no military experience in the country at all proportioned to the neces- 
sary scale of operations ; there was, no doubt, more military ability among the men 
whose tastes had impelled them to seek West Point, than among the same number in 
civil life ; and military knowledge was confined to the Regular Army and to the grad- 
uates. Under these circumstances, it would seem to have been clear where our leaders 
should have been sought exclusively at the outset. The assembled wisdom of the 
nation thought differently, and it is an instructive study to compare the places held by 
political generals in the Union Army early in the war with the results they had accom- 
plished at its close. General Cullum, with the modesty of a veteran, does not refer to 
this ; but the Army Register for 1866 shows, that, of the seventeen general officers of 
the Regular Army at the end of the war. all but one were graduates of West Point; and 
without detracting from General Terry's glory, it is just to say that his promotion was 
rather due.to the enthusiasm for one valuable victory than for well-established general- 
ship, and that this victory was of the straightforward sort that depends more on the 
body of troops than on their head. 
But war, if an expensive, is also a thorough school, and the knowledge and experi- 
ence gained in the Rebellion were so great in proportion, that they were rapidly 
destroying the advantage in these respects before held by regularly educated soldiers ; 
and by the end of the war, leaders, whether Volunteer or Regular, were fast falling into 
the places their ability entitled them to. 
It is true many West Point commanders failed, even where this was not due to their 
supporters or to circumstances. This is only allowing that all did not possess the 
three requisites that have been mentioned. But it must be remembered that the Con- 
federacy advanced its West Point graduates much more systematically than we did, 
and that many a defeat for the Union was still a success, though on the wrong side, for 
West Point. 
This leads us to speak of the loyalty of West Point graduates. It is a common 
notion that they were under peculiar obligations to the United States Government. 
This mistake is well exposed by General Cullum, who argues unanswerably that they 
were educated by the country for its benefit, and not for their own ; and that the event 
has proved the economy of the Academy, even in dollars and cents. This is clear from 
a view which the author only hints at. Every Cadet is enlisted to serve four years 
after graduating. In these four years, most of them-all those in staff corps-have 
responsibilities and perform duties that in commercial life would command pay enough 
higher than they receive to amply compensate for the cost of their education. It is 
difficult to see that the crime of a Southern graduate, in rebelling, is any greater than 
that of any other government official. 
But are we not assuming a little too much in taking the disloyalty of West Point for 
granted ? One of the saddest experiences of the war was the observation of the deep- 
seated, firm conviction in the minds of many of the most high-minded, religious 
Southern men and women, and growing from their first consciousness in the minds of 
their children, that their cause was a righteous one, and that they were resisting an 
unholy war of invasion ; one of the pleasantest sights in a general view, but without 
much comfort for our side, immediate or future, was that of the active, cordial sympa- 
thy of the Southern women with the men,-even more general and efficient than with 
us. The question was not brought home to us, and it is hard for us to form an idea of 
the strength and suffering required for a kindly, right-minded man to give up the 
dearest ties of earth for a point of abstract morality enveloped in a thick cloud of casu- 
istry, and to become a reproach and an outcast in the land of his fathers. If those who 
4 failed in this test deserve censure, certainly those who stood it deserve no common 
praise, and in reference to these, General Cullum gives us facts and figures of which 
West Point may well be proud. He says : 
"It is unfortunately true that many forgot the flag under which they were educated, 
to follow false gods. But who were the leaders of this treason, but the honored and 
trusted in the land, filling, or who had filled, the highest places in the government,- 
Senators, Representatives, Members of the Cabinet, Foreign Ministers, Judges of 
United States Courts, and even those who had been elected by the people to fill the 
highest offices in their gift ? Was it then a greater crime for graduates of our national 
Academy to forsake their country than for the highest officials in every branch of the 
government, executive, legislative, and judicial, who, from the seceding States, almost 
to a man, joined the Rebel standard? 
" But let us examine tliis Rebellion Record a little more closely. In the executive 
department four presidents were living when secession began. Of these, the only South- 
erner joined the Rebels ; another did the country more harm than an avowed enemy ; 
while the others, certainly, were not over-demonstrative in their efforts to preserve the 
Union. Belonging to the bench of the Supreme Court there were four Southern Judges, 
of whom two remained loyal, one was strongly sympathetic with the South, and one 
joined the Rebels. The Southern Judges of the United States District Courts sided 
with their own । eople. Of the Senators in Congress from the seceding States, but one, 
and of the House of Representatives, but three, remained loyal. Nearly all the agents of 
the State, Treasury, Interior, and Post-Office Departments, residing in or from the 
seceding States, espoused the Rebel cause Of those appointed in the army 
from civil life, nearly one half, while but a little over one fifth of the West Point officers 
left the service and joined in the Rebellion 
"The statistics show that the West Point part of the army has been by far the most 
loyal branch of the public service ; that nearly four fifths of its graduate officers 
remained faithful; that one half of those from the South stood firm by the stars and 
stripes ; and in the battles for the Union, that one fifth of those engaged laid down their 
lives, more than one third, and probably one half, were wounded, and the survivors can 
point with manly pride to their services here recorded for the preservation of the 
nation." . 
With these facts stated, the Academy needs no eulogy, and can securely rest her 
honor on her loyal children, and her efficiency on her turbulent children as well. 
The book in respect to taste and execution is admirable. It does not stoop to pre- 
serve the fame of misdirected valor, and the only notice of the most eminent Rebels 
after leaving our service, as though when they lost their honor they had lost their lives 
with it, is, that they "joined in the Rebellion of 1861-66, against the United States," 
with the date and place of their death, when known. The labor of compilation and 
correction was immense; the arrangement is singularly convenient, systematic, and 
happy ; and the result is a new honor in peace to its author, already so distinguished 
in war, and a new illustration of the claims of the institution he defends. 
From the New York Herald. 
"After many years of persevering toil," says the author,' "I present to my brother 
graduates of the Military Academy, this record of their services, honorable to them- 
selves, giving world renown to their Alma Mater, and claiming for their country a place 
in the first rank of military nations. " 
This work will not be considered by the public in the light in which its author mod- 
estly regards it, as having its chief interest in the circle of the graduates from the Mili- 
tary Academy. It is a contribution to the history of the country, and just now will be 
more especially regarded as a contribution to the history of the war. It is hardly pos- 
sible to over estimate its value in this regard. It contains, well digested in cyclopaedic 
form, a vast amount of information of a kind always difficult to obtain, inasmuch as it 
is in so great a degree personal. It comprises in its two volumes of over six hundred 
pages each, ' ' The Etats de Service" of all graduates from the establishment of the 
Military Academy, in 1802, to the present time ; a complete register of the officers of the 
institution, with their histories ; a full list of the military posts of the United States, 
present and past; an alphabetical table of all battles, combats, actions, &c., in which 
graduates have participated ; besides much other useful and statistical information. 
And these "Etats de Service," 2,500 in number, though not biographies in the ordi- 
nary sense of the term, nevertheless contain the prominent facts of each individual's 
military or public life. They are the protracted creations of a lifetime, and do not 
come in the category of the numerous easily-written narrations and so-called histories 
5 of the events of our great civil war, with which the press teems, and, moreover, they 
demand habits of mind, intellectual qualifications, and tastes which are rarely com- 
bined. 
When, however, such a work does at rare intervals appear, it at once becomes a 
necessity. No historian can write, no student can read or study his country's history 
without it, while to libraries, public and private, it becomes a sine qua non. Nor would 
any one who has become acquainted with the character of this work and feels interest 
in the civil or military career of any one of the Academy's graduates, or would have a 
remembrance of the events of our various struggles with foreign powers or of those of 
that momentous one for our national existence, willingly be without these volumes. 
The preface to the work sets forth in brief the importance of military education. It 
seems strange that it could be necessary to argue such a point, that we could expect 
individuals or nations to excel in the most difficult of all arts without the study and 
practice which every other art, or science, or calling demands for its perfect exercise. 
Yet we cannot ignore the fact that there are those who depreciate military education, 
and by the phrase "heaven-born generals," would understand men who, from the bar 
or the plough, pass at once to the successful command of armies. Such anomalies are 
never presented. Cromwell, indeed, had little education of any kind when he entered 
public life, but it required years of the stern teachings of actual warfare to make him 
the great soldier he became. Great soldier as he was, he became yet greater as a states- 
man, and that, too, in the same school of actual practice in the art of statesmanship. 
The arguments against education would in his case be as strong, therefore, as applied 
to its use for making statesmen, as soldiers. 
Many, however, admit the necessity of military education while denouncing the Mil- 
itary Academy as a means to that end. 
Against the aspersions of such it is the feature of General Cullum's work that it fur- 
nishes so rich materials for its vindication. To showing how the Academy has been 
not only the means of giving us an accomplished body of officers for our army, but also 
of raising the standard of scientific education in all the colleges of the land, and of 
stimulating the development of works of civil engineering and internal improvements, 
by furnishing the country with able civil engineers, a portion of the preface is devoted ; 
and we think his statements, founded as they are upon the carefully collected facts 
which the book records, must be convincing to all who are not prejudiced beyond the 
power of truth to convince. 
The author is not less earnest and full in dealing with charges of "disloyalty." He 
proves that the most loyal branch of the public service, when looked at as a whole, was 
that mainly constituted by the Academy and its graduates. 
In the brief space we can devote to the subject, we can but indicate its main features, 
and express our conviction of the conscientious fidelity with which the author has elab- 
orated his work, and of the peculiar value of that work to the country, which should be 
the more grateful to the author, since gratitude must be taken by him in part payment, 
for the sale of such books seems necessarily restricted. 
From the Boston Watchman and Reflector. 
These two volumes of thirteen hundred pages are a monument of General Cullum's 
reverence for his Alma Mater, and of the patient industry with which he has ransacked 
archives, examined tons of manuscripts, and written thousands of letters to collect and 
condense the summaries of the services of the graduates of the Military Academy. The 
work contains the " Statistics relating to the Graduates a record of the "Battles and 
Combats fought by the United States Armies since the establishment of the Academy 
a list of the "Forts, Arsenals, and Military Posts of the United States a "Register of 
the Officers of the Academy," of their "Services and Promotions," and a "Register of 
the Graduates" from its establishment until 18G7. The accuracy and completeness of 
the work will render it serviceable to the historian, while its brief but frequent narration 
of services will serve to correct the prejudice against the Academy which so strangely 
exists. While one half of the officers appointed in the army from civil life joined the 
rebellion, but a little over one fifth of the West Point graduates deserted their flag to 
serve in the ranks of secession. One half of the officers appointed from the South 
adhered to the Union ; one fifth of all those graduates engaged in the war laid down 
their lives, one half were wounded, and the survivors may answer hostile criticism of 
their Alma Mater by pointing with manly pride to the services recorded in these vol- 
umes. General Cullum says that " the entire cost of educating the whole of the seced- 
ing graduates, in money, was not more than was saved by the military knowledge of its 
(West Point's) loyal graduates on every day of the rebellion."

The Beeches, Monday, March 9, 1868. 
I should do injustice to my own sense of its value, and to the extraordinary pains 
General Cullum has taken in its preparation, if I did not notice, in what terms of favor 
I could, the Biographical Register of the Officers and Graduates of the United States 
Military Academy. In my opinion, no more valuable material for history exists in this 
country. The triennial catalogues of our colleges utterly fail in that for which they 
might be made of incalculable value. This is in showing what the graduates of colleges 
have done. They do show when a graduate has become a clergyman, and when one 
got an A. M., D. D., or LL. D.; but this shows very little of what they really are, and 
nothing of what they have done. Men get D. D.'s and LL. D.'s often when they have 
done very little to deserve them. An LL. D., in its true sense, is a distinction for 
great learning, but when our colleges give such a degree to a man for fighting battles, 
it is just as if West Point conferred D. D.'s for the same thing. Even the universities 
of England have got to giving learned titles just as the German princes confer the title 
of Baron, market ouvert. For this reason the catalogues of colleges, like the West Point 
Register, should tell what the graduates have done, what they have lived for, what they 
have shown to justify a liberal education. 
In this respect, Gen. Cullum's Register of West Point is invaluable. If any one has 
got anything to say against West Point, let him take up that Register, and say it, but 
say it with this roll of hard work, of honorable service, and of great performance before 
him. I undertake to say that, taking the average of their years and opportunities into 
view, the 2,200 graduates of West Point have done more solid work than any equal 
number of any profession. 
Some persons may say that the work for which they are educated is an evil work ; 
that war is an enormous evil. Grant it; but military men do not make war. Wars are 
made by merchants and politicians. The East India Company (a company of mer- 
chants) made more wars and caused more bloodshed than any equal number of officers 
and soldiers on the face of the earth. And more than half of modern wars have been 
caused by what is called aggression on commerce. And even the professed ministers 
of the church, the brilliant priests who figured as the statesmen of the middle ages, and 
of Bourbons and Stuarts, made more wars than any generals of the army. War is not 
the desire, but to conduct war is the business of educated soldiers. As long as avarice 
and ambition make war a business among mankind, there must be men educated to it. 
That needs no argument. 
A graver charge has been made against West Point, that it is immoral and irreligious. 
The latest edition of this charge is in a letter, professedly from some unfledged cadet to 
a paper in Chicago, and subsequently quoted in Congress. Now, suppose this was actu- 
ally true, is it not equally true of every college in the land? It is a high compliment to 
West Point to expect its young men to be perfect when it is not expected of any college 
in the country. I undertake to say, without fear of contradiction, that there is more 
restraint and less temptation to dissipation at West Point than there is at Harvard, 
Yale, or Princeton. What restraint is there at Harvard or Yale to prevent dissipation 
or immorality among young men to any extent? Would it be difficult to find Harvard 
students in gross dissipation ? Would it be difficult to find Yale students where the 
laws of the college forbid them to go ? On the other hand, it is barely possible for the 
cadets at West Point to escape at night and engage in some immorality. This is pos- 
sible, but it is not common and it is not easy. The whole establishment and grounds 
belong to the Government; the discipline is strict and most rigidly enforced, and the 
outward temptations small. The public services of religion are properly attended to, 
and there is a cadet's prayer meeting once a week for those who are religiously inclined. 
The chaplain stands to West Point in the same relation that the Professor of Moral 
Philosophy and Ethics does to the colleges. He could do something more if he was 
entirely relieved (as he ought to be) from the duties of a professorship. I knew a chap- 
lain at West Point to do something I have not seen the professors in colleges do. The 
corps of cadets were drawn up at sunrise each morning of the spring, in a hollow 
square, and in the centre of that square the pious and amiable chaplain knelt down on 
the yet wet grass and offered up worship and service to the living God. I am not 
aware that the chaplains of colleges do much better than that. But there is in some 
things an air of religion about colleges not seen at West Point. Why? Mainly because 
a large number of young men go to colleges for the express purpose of being educated 
for the ministry; and, of course, there are a large'number there who are more rigid 
and earnest in religious duties. 
One great wrong has crept into West Point, which is in imitation of college practices, 
called hazing. I am told it is nearly done away with. Any institution will lose by 
permitting that practice. For the older cadets or students to impose upon the young 
7 and inexperienced, is mean and dishonorable. It is contrary to the whole spirit of 
chivalry, which aims to be just, generous, and magnanimous. The weak and innocent 
are the objects of its care, and to persecute them is alike cruel and dishonorable. 
I intended only to notice the Register ; but I can only state some general facts. The 
first cadet, Joseph G. Swift, was graduated in 1802, and after being engaged in various 
services, civil and military, died in 1865, at the age of 82. The whole number of grad- 
uates, from 1802 to 1867, inclusive, was 2,218. In that sixty-five years this country had 
but nine years of real war, and in those nine years 183 were killed in battle. I think 
that will be thought a large proportion. But it is not half the deaths caused by these 
wars, for there is the long list of those who died of disease or wounds caused by those 
campaigns. Let us take one class as an example. The class of 1841 had fifty-two 
graduates. Of these twenty-five are dead. Fourteen were killed in battle and ten died 
in service. Forty-three -more than four fifths-were engaged in battles. The first one 
on the class list was engaged in thirteen important battles ; the next in twelve ; the 
fifth, having served at Bull Run and Chancellorsville, died of wounds ; the tenth was 
killed at the battle of Molino del Rey; the eleventh (Lyon) was killed at the battle of 
Wilson's Creek ; the twelfth was killed near Cherubusco, Mexico ; the thirteenth died 
at Vera Cruz ; the sixteenth was killed at the battle of Stone River ; the twenty-second 
died near Corinth, Miss., in the army pursuing Beauregard ; the twenty-third (Brannan) 
was engaged in fifteen battles ; the twenty-sixth (Reynolds) was killed at Gettysburg ; 
the thirty-third died of wounds received at Molino del Rey ; the thirty-eighth died of 
wounds received at Sharpsburg ; the thirty-ninth was killed at Spottsylvania ; the forty- 
eighth was killed at Chepultepec ; the fiftieth died of wounds at Mexico ; the fifty - 
second died of wounds at Mexico. This class had sixteen generals, of whom Lyon, 
Reynolds, Wright, Tower, and Brannan were a part; two were killed in the rebel ser- 
vice-the Garnetts. 
I have taken this class as an example, to show both what services were rendered by 
the graduates of West Point, and what admirable materials for history are here. No 
man can write history of any value without a most exact reference to events and dates ; 
nor can the history of the United States, in the last sixty years, be written well without 
consulting very closely the records of West Point. 
History is the record of what is done, and not the babbling of orators, or the verbiage 
of literature. I say, therefore, the Register of West Point, prepared by General Cullum, 
is a most invaluable memoir for history. It ought to have been a government work. 
But our government is a curious affair in some of its workings. Look at the enormous 
sums it spends to pay Gales & Seaton for various sorts of works ; look at the thousands 
it has paid for biographies of Senators, for books, and this, that, and the other thing- 
none of which had the tenth part of the value of this register. But let that pass. 
Human justice is the frailest of virtues. It always follows in the wake of human sel- 
fishness, and if you have not the arts of flattery and importunity, in vain will you 
appeal to government for an iota of justice or a particle of consideration. 
I hope at some time to give some brief notice of men whom I have known in my 
time, and whom these pages partly commemorate. They are to me pages of memories 
-sad, almost painful to look upon ; yet, of such is our life composed, and, as time goes 
on, this volume of memory grows larger and sadder. 
A Veteban Obsebver. 
From the Army and Navy Journal. 
For the last six years, in the press, on the platform, in Congress, all possible changes 
have been rung on what is called the "disloyalty" of the Military Academy at West 
Point. This charge, utterly groundless, thoroughly ungrateful, and base in its ingrati- 
tude, was connected, of course, with the very natural fact that the best generals of the 
South (like the best generals of the North) received their military education at the 
national school of arms. As often as repeated, so often the slander has been repelled 
with indignant vehemence. And yet, with such persistency is the venomous charge 
reiterated, that, we presume, half the people in the North, even among the friends and 
admirers of the Academy, naturally conjecture that there is something in it. As for 
the accusation itself, it has been partly urged in malice, partly by jealousy, but chiefly, 
let us hope, through complete ignorance of the facts. 
Thanks to General Cullum (whose admirable "Biographical Register," a ten-years' 
labor, is such a monument of industry, fidelity, knowledge, and skill, as can only be 
found among those literary products where the love of the work overtops any possible 
reward the result can furnish), we have now the exact facts and figures to refute the 
libel upon our national school, and we trust that, in justice, we shall never again, not 
even when the annual appropriation is to be made in Congress, hear of the "disloyalty" 
of West Point. We will first present the figures, and then some brief comments. 
8 From this careful and elaborate work it appears that, at the outbreak of the Rebellion, 
1,245 graduates of the Academy were supposed to be living, 820 being still in the Army, 
and 425 in civil life. Of the 820 in the Army, only 184, or only about a fifth, joined in 
the Rebellion, while 626, or nearly four fifths, remained true to the Union-10 taking 
neither side. Of the 425 in the civil life, but 99, or less than one fourth, were known 
to have joined the Rebels, while 280, or nearly three times the latter number, remained 
loyal. The careers of 44 were unknown ; but the proportion remains, doubtless, as 
already indicated. In fine, of the 1,245 graduates of the Academy living at the outbreak 
of the Rebellion, less than one fourth joined in the Rebellion, and over three fourths 
were true to the Union. And this is the record on which is raised the cry of "disloyalty !" 
When, in addition, we find from General Cullum's tables that of the 280 loyal gradu- 
ates in civil life, 110 re-entered the service, though half of them were beyond the 
meridian of life, and that of the remaining 170, all under 45 years old, became officers 
of the Regular or Volunteer Armies, except 39, who, from disability and other causes, 
did not take an "active partwhen we find that of all the loyal sons of West Point 
who served in the Rebellion, a greater proportion than one in three were wounded in 
battle, and one in five (an astonishing record) laid down their lives in the same sacred 
cause, surely there should be an end to the cry of "disloyalty." 
So much for the absolute "disloyalty" of this "hot-bed of treason," this "nest of 
'secession," as fervid stump orators are sometimes pleased to style our Military Academy. 
Now let us look at its relative "disloyalty"-its "disloyalty," we mean, compared with 
that of Congress, of such colleges as that at Cambridge, and of the country itself. For, 
if West Point be a hot-bed of disloyalty, then are Cambridge, Congress, and the country 
forcing-houses of treason more fruitful yet. We are assured by good authorities that of 
the Southern graduates of Cambridge, residing still at the South at the time of the 
Rebellion, not one tenth espoused the cause of the Union, much less entered its military 
service. Even in the border States they went for or against the Union, in accordance 
with the general sentiment of their sections. We have heard more than one Harvard 
graduate of a dozen years ago aver that, after reading the names of all the distinctively 
Southern students in his own and contiguous classes, he could not remember one who 
had joined the Northern Army, and all that he knew anything about had joined the 
military or civil service of the Confederacy. 
Now let us turn to Congress. General Cullum declares that of the Senate but one 
member from the States that seceded remained loyal, and of the House but three-and 
they from a border State. All the rest, scores in number, went with the Confederacy. 
General Cullum further well says that even "the Southern United States District 
judges sided with their own people," as did "nearly all the Southern agents of the 
State, Treasury, Interior, and Post-Office Departments ;" of the four living Presidents 
themselves, "the only Southerner joined the Rebels; another did the country more 
harm than an avowed enemy; while the others were certainly not over demonstrative 
in their efforts to preserve the Union." In one word, no position was high or sacred 
enough to insure the loyalty of its occupant, no oath taken or "favors received" from 
the United States could retain a tenth part of the Southern people. And as for the 
whole Republic, it is fresh in remembrance how it was rent in twain, nearly all the 
South going one way, and nearly all the North the other. Not one Southerner in ten 
remained loyal. 
Now, turning to the Military Academy, what do we find? We find that of 350 grad- 
uates born in or appointed from slave territory who were in the military service.at the 
outbreak of the Rebellion, no less than 162 remained loyal, while 168 joined the Rebels. 
In other words, while in the colleges, in Congress, in the country, loyalty was so rare 
an exception among Southern men that probably not one in ten exhibited it, one half of 
the Southern graduates of the Academy remained true to the Union and fought in its 
behalf. In the face of this record, and of the record of the achievements of the loyal 
half of the Southern soldiers, headed by Major-General George H. Thomas, of Virginia, 
compared with the record of Congress, the colleges, and the country, shall we speak 
hereafter of the ' ' disloyalty" or of the lustrous loyalty of the Academy ? 
Much praise has been given, and deservedly, to Harvard, to Yale, and to other famous 
colleges for their devotion to the cause of the Union. Lowell has immortalized that 
devotion for Harvard in his magnificent ode, and its fame has spread not less in Europe 
than America. Only the other day a London newspaper said, " Harvard sent her 
under-graduates, not by ones and twos, but by whole classes, to the front. These lads, 
the flower and the promise of the North, laid aside their books and took up the musket, 
many as private soldiers, to fight for the cause which they saw to be so precious. The 
list of students who fell by wounds or illness is long enough to make a famous bead- 
roll wherewith to answer those who say that the natural aristocracy of America holds 
aloof from her destinies. " It is nobly and worthily said ; but not less devoted, not less 
loyal, not less heroic in battle, w'ere the children of West Point, and their "bead-roll" 
of s'ain is longer and more illustrious. Whereas the Southern sons of Harvard plunged 
9 into disunion in a mass, nearly one half of those of West Point remained steadfast to 
the Union. Have we, then, all praise for one institution, and only the word "disloyal" 
for the other ? 
True it is that the Lees and Johnstons and Braggs and Beauregards and Long- 
streets and most of the famous soldiers of the South were West Point graduates ; but 
lower in rank were Southern Congressmen, holders of the United States offices of honor 
and trust, and graduates of Northern colleges in greater proportions. It was the 
excellence of the training furnished to all its pupils, Northern and Southern, that put 
the cause on both sides completely under West Point control. And for these banes 
there were antidotes in Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Meade, Halleck, Sheridan, Hancock, 
and so on through all the grades, from general down. Were it our purpose to go into 
an estimate of the value of the Academy to the country, we should set forth the splendid 
array of its great names, and the illustrious catalogue of their victories. But it is 
enough to show what a weight of "loyalty" it lent to the Union. Harvard's devotion 
and loyalty are peerless, and we are all proud to reverence them ; but if General R. E. 
Lee was a graduate of West Point, General W. H. F. Lee, his son, was a pupil for two 
years at Harvard ; if West Point sent out Beauregard, Harvard sent out a member of 
Beauregard's staff. Why is it that we hear imputations of "lessons of treason" 
imbibed at one place, but only of "lessons of loyalty" imbibed at the other? 
More convincing than all other proofs, perhaps, of the unparalleled loyalty of West 
Point is the fact mentioned by General Cullum, that of the appointees from civil life in 
the Army, at the beginning of the Rebellion, fully one half joined the fortunes of the 
Confederacy, while only one fifth, as we have seen, of the West Point graduates in the 
Army proved disloyal. What do those say to this fact, who are wont to say that but 
for West Point there would have been no secession? It was the Army officers from 
civil life who, in such a vastly greater ratio, espoused the cause of the Rebellion. In 
face of these accumulated proofs of the loyalty of the Military Academy, of the unequalled 
extent to which it held even its Southern graduates true to the Union, and the conspic- 
uous services it rendered to the country, the voice of detraction should be shamed into 
silence, and, in a reaction of feeling, the long-deferred honor be given where honor is 
due. 
From the New York Citizen. 
General Cullum's work is valuable for two distinct reasons: It is of great use and 
interest to army men, and it fully vindicates West Point from the foolish charge of 
being a nursery of treason. 
During the early part of the war, a portion of the Northern press became impatient 
because our armies did not at once achieve crushing victories ; and calling to mind the 
fact that the Southern armies were chiefly led by West Point men, rashly concluded 
that the West Point element, both in the Rebel and Federal armies, was either hostile 
or lukewarm to the Union cause. The fact that Lee, Longstreet, Jackson, and the 
Hills were graduates of the Military Academy, was made so prominent that the people 
began to believe that the majority of the graduates had joined the rebellion. Long 
before the war was over, the true state of the case became fully known. The loyalty of 
the great majority of the West Point men was established beyond controversy, and the 
fact that the leaders under whom the rebellion was finally crushed were originally 
educated at the much-sneered-at Military Academy, convinced the people that West 
Point was not the useless institution which some had hastily proclaimed it. 
General Cullum, by the inexorable logic of statistics, shows the falsity of the charges 
against the loyalty of the West Point officers. Only twenty-three per cent, of the gradu- 
ates entered the Rebel service. One half of those appointed from Southern States 
remained loyal, and of the loyal graduates one fifth were killed in defence of the flag 
under which they were educated, and fully one half were wounded in the same noble 
cause. These figures need no comment, but prove conclusively that West Point was 
never, in any sense, a nursery of treason. 
Of the admirable manner in which General Cullum has contrived to condense the 
military and civil history of each of the two thousand two hundred and eighteen grad- 
uates into these two volumes, it is not easy to speak too highly. The date of appoint- 
ment and graduation of each cadet, the date of his several commissions or brevets, the 
campaigns in which he served, and the places to which he was appointed or detailed 
for duty, the names and dates of the engagements in which he participated, and in too 
many instances the record of his death, are given with the utmost brevity consistent 
with clearness. The author has displayed organizing abilities of a high order in the 
arrangement of his Register, and a degree of care and industry that reminds one of the 
elaborate thoroughness which he displayed during the war. * * * * 
The Register will be indispensable to every army man, and to any one who wishes to 
understand the true worth of the West Point Academy. 
10 From " The Great Republic," Washington, D. G. 
General Cullum's Biographical Register embraces some 2,509 military biographies, 
carefully compiled from the most authentic sources, and are arranged according to the 
several classes of graduates since the establishment of the institution, in 1802. Among 
the long roll of graduates, we miss, of course, the names of such volunteer heroes as 
Logan, Sickles, Farnsworth, Garfield, and others ; but in the military biographies of 
such soldiers as Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and George H. Thomas, of Hooker, Burn- 
side, Meade, and Pope, of Mansfield, Richardson. McPherson, and Howard, of Griffin, 
MdCook, Heintzleman, and Kilpatrick, and in the statistics and tables of battles and 
other military matters relating to the rebellion, are embraced an interesting and au- 
thentic military record of the battles and grand military triumphs of our thousands of 
volunteer heroes against the common foe. 
General Cullum, himself a graduate of West Point, is manifestly a loyal man, and 
closes the biography of all the rebel graduates in 1860-61, with the pregnant remark in 
every case : "7ie joined the rebellion." We are gratified, too, to notice the many evi- 
dences in the able preface to the work, of how warmly he feels the charge against West 
Point as a nursery of treason ; nor are we displeased with his eloquent efforts to rebut 
and disprove the charge. He shows by his statistics that 162 Southern graduates 
joined the Union forces, and bravely battled against secession and rebellion. These, 
although cradled and reared in State allegiance, he claims, were rescued from treason 
by West Point influences, resisting every appeal of relative and friend to swerve them 
from loyalty and duty, and with all Northern officers (save sixteen, who dishonored 
their alma mater), and 110 graduates from civil life, who rejoined the military service, 
bravely fought the good fight for the Union. While one fourth of the officers of 
the navy on the active list resigned or were dismissed in 1860-61, and, being South- 
erners, probably joined the rebellion, he shows that nearly four fifths of the West Point 
graduates remained faithful to their oaths of allegiance ; that one half of those from the 
South stood firm by the stars and stripes ; that in the battles of the Union, one fifth of 
those engaged laid down their lives, and that more than one third, probably one half, 
were wounded, while the survivors can point with manly pride to their services for the 
preservation of the nation. 
Thus he warmly defends his institution, and asks : Can any other college or semi- 
nary of learning in the land-can Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Union, or Princeton-all 
of whose Southern students en masse joined the rebellion-show a higher record of 
patriotism or sacrifice ? 
But in nothing does he decry or attempt to detract from, the merits and services of 
our gallant volunteers. He praises them highly. After eloquently arguing the impor- 
tance of a military education from the light furnished by the history of ancient and 
modern warfare, and the lives of the great captains of ancient and modern times-of 
Caesar and Hannibal, of Napoleon, Marlborough, and Washington-and showing that 
knowledge and experience have in all ages been the elements of success, that these can 
only be obtained either from actual service in the field, at a cost of the blood of thou- 
sands, or in seminaries of learning like that of West Point, and that it is far wiser, and 
certainly more humane, to obtain them through the latter, he concludes his preface 
with the following eulogy on our volunteer heroes : 
" All honor to our patriotic and gallant volunteers who, from the bar, the farm, the 
counting house, the workshop, and every sphere of life, rushed at the sound of the first 
hostile gun fired in the rebellion, to their country's defence! Their self-sacrifice in 
giving up lucrative positions and the comforts of home for the privations of camp, their 
intelligence in meeting the difficult requirements of their new vocations, their endur- 
ance through long marches and weary campaigns, their steadfastness in the darkest 
hours of disasters, their valor on the battle field or in the deadly assault, their modera- 
tion when victory had assured our success, and their return as peaceful citizens to a 
cordial submission to the laws of their preserved country, are worthy of all commenda- 
tion. Doubtless none more than they felt and appreciated the great value of military 
education and experience as essential adjuncts to a natural genius for war in forming 
the great captain." 
From the New York Evening Post. 
It is not every year that so valuable a book appears as the " Biographical Register of 
the Officers and Graduates of the United States Military Academy," edited by General 
George W. Cullum. Of course, the paramount interest of this book is for those whose 
names figure on its pages, and for their friends ; but it is also an important contribution 
to the history of the country. General Cullum has been indefatigable in his exertions 
to make the work accurate and complete. . . . 
General Cullum adds that "the entire cost of educating the whole of the seceding 
graduates, in money, was not more than was saved by the military knowledge of its 
(West Point's) loyal graduates on every day of the rebellion." 
11 From the New York National Freemason. 
This is not a work of brief labor, but of many years of persevering toil. Official and 
private sources of information have been exhausted to make it accurate and complete. 
The General truly says : " Archives have been ransacked, tons of manuscript examined, 
letters by thousands written, and interrogatories almost countless put wherever a hope 
of gleaning any information at all reliable existed." 
The preface is a complete vindication of the West Point Academy from all aspersions. 
Its reference to the great warrior Masons of the world-Washington, Napoleon, Fred- 
erick, Gustavus, Turenne, Eugene, Kosciusko-is flattering to the fraternity. 
From its statistical tables we learn that cadets were first appointed in 1802. There 
were but two, one from Maryland and one from Massachusetts. In civil life there have 
been 3 members of the cabinet of the United States ; 7 ministers to foreign courts ; 12 
members of Congress ; 5 Governors of States ; 132 presidents and professors of colleges ; 
138 presidents, chief engineers, and superintendents of railroads ; 75 authors. 
There were 70 battles fought in the war of 1812-15 with Great Britain ; 166 in the 
Indian wars ; 48 in the war with Mexico ; 500 in the recent conflict, in all which the 
graduates of the Academy participated. 
The position of all the forts, arsenals, and military posts is given, and a perfect 
register of the officers of the Academy from March 16, 1802, to July 1, 1867, making 
837 in all-among whom we notice many devoted Freemasons. 
Then follows the carefully prepared record of the services and promotions of the 
officers of the United States Military Academy, making 2,218 in number. 
The first graduate, Joseph G. Swift, was born in and appointed from Massachusetts. 
His military and subsequent career was honorable. General Cullum says of him : 
"Amiable and sincere, spotless in integrity, staunch in friendship, liberal in charity, 
General Swift was a model gentleman, a true patriot, and Christian soldier (we add, and 
consistent Freemason), worthy of the imitation of all who, like him, would live honored 
and revered, and die universally regretted. " 
Another craftsman we notice, Jonathan Williams, born in Massachusetts, and 
appointed from Pennsylvania. During the Revolutionary War he resided in Europe, 
being the private secretary to his relative, Dr. Franklin (the Master of the first Lodge 
in Pennsylvania), on his mission to France. Appointed in the army with the rank of 
major, he assumed the superintendency of the Academy, and accepted various high 
military and civil positions. 
Space fails us even to mention the names of the hundreds of Freemasons, whose 
memories will be preserved through the means of this elaborate work. 
The graduates of West Point, their families and friends, and, indeed, the whole 
nation, will gratefully remember General Cullum for his patriotic work. No American 
library, private or public, can be complete without these volumes. 
From the Boston Daily Advertiser. 
So much has been said, and falsely said, of the disloyalty of the graduates of West 
Point, that a few facts gleaned from General Cullum's recently published Biographical 
Register of the Officers and Graduates of our Military Academy, will be read with 
interest. The carefully prepared tables show that of the 1,245 graduates supposed to 
be living at the beginning of 1861, 99 from civil life and 184 from the army joined in 
the rebellion, or less than twenty-three per cent. And if two thirds of those whose 
loyalty or disloyalty is unknown are added, it would still appear that more than three 
fourths of the graduates remained faithful to the Union. .... 
Of those graduates who were in the military service of the United States during the 
rebellion, more than one half held volunteer commissions. Of the graduates who 
served in the battles of the late war, one fifth lost their lives for their country, and 
more than one third were wounded. 
General Cullum is earnest in his defence of the Academy against the charge of dis- 
loyalty, and makes some pertinent inquiries, as when he asks why Congress, the 
Supreme Court, and the colleges are not equally accused of being nurseries of treason ; 
or when he asks whether it is more disreputable to forsake the flag beneath which the 
graduate has been reared, than to stain the ermine of the Supreme Court with the crime 
of treason ; or when he asks whether the makers of the laws, Southern Senators and 
Representatives, who trampled the Constitution under foot, were not as guilty when 
violating their oaths as the graduates of the Military Academy. The General asserts, 
and we believe he is correct, that the Southern graduates of Northern colleges espoused 
the Rebel cause almost en masse, while West Point, by the antidote of its loyal teachings, 
saved one half of its Southern pupils, who, from infancy to manhood, before they 
entered the Academy, had breathed the poisoned air of secession. These are points to 
be noticed, and with the author we would do all honor to the noble band of 162 gradu- 
ates, who, cradled and reared in the atmosphere of State rights, in the hour of trial 
proved true to their country. 
12 From Harper's Weekly. 
The record published by General Cullum of the military and other important opera- 
tions of the graduates of West Point, constitutes the best defence of that institution 
which could have been made. It appears that over 2.200 cadets have graduated from 
1802 to and including the class of 1867. Among the names not distinguished in war 
we observe those of Sylvanus Thayer, long the head of the institution ; of Robert P. 
Parrott, who devised the Parrott gun ; of George W. Whistler, the celebrated railroad 
engineer, lately employed in Russia ; and of Alexander D. Bache, one of the ablest 
representatives of science which this country has produced. 
Washington, in his message of December, 1793, against the expressed opinion of 
Jefferson, recommended what Jefferson called a military academy. "I opposed it," 
says Jefferson in his diary, "as unconstitutional. Hamilton and Knox approved it 
without discussion. Randolph was for it, saying that the words of the Constitution 
authorizing Congress to lay taxes, etc., for the common defence might comprehend it. 
The President said he would not choose to recommend anything against the Constitu- 
tion, but if it were doubtful he was so impressed with the necessity of the measure that 
he would report it to Congress, and let them decide for themselves whether the Consti- 
tution authorized it or not. It was therefore left in." 
In May, 1794, Congress expressed itself favorably to its Constitutionality. In 1796 
Washington again presented the subject to the attention of Congress. But it was not 
until March, 1802, that West Point was selected for this purpose. Mr. McHenry, the 
Secretary of War under Adams, had urged the matter so fully and forcibly in his annual 
report in 1800, that its organization on a limited scale took place. Jefferson, in 1803, 
waiving his constitutional scruples, proposed an augmentation of the institution and its 
removal to the then seat of Government, a suggestion which fortunately was not 
adopted. 
It is generally conceded that the great efficiency of West Point is due to the arrange- 
ments made during the administration of Mr. Monroe, which extended from March 4, 
1817, to March 4, 1825. General Sylvanus Thayer, in July, 1817, then Major, became its 
Superintendent, after having examined the military schools and establishments of 
Europe, which he visited on the termination of their great conflict, and was the instru- 
ment for carrying into full effect the intentions of the Government. In Major Thayer 
there was a fortunate union of those qualities which produce severe discipline and afford 
the requisite scope and breadth to military education. Shortly after Major Thayer's 
appointment John C. Calhoun became Secretary of War, which position he held until 
March, 1825. 
West Point had contributed to the war of 1812 but few officers of great distinction- 
General Scott was not a graduate-and as Mr. Calhoun had been in Congress during 
that struggle, and had a mind peculiarly fitted for organization, his first care on enter- 
ing the War Department was to unite with Major Thayer to place West Point on the 
best footing possible to enable the country to wage successful war. Mr. Monroe's 
administration was the last of those that received their impress from the Revolution. 
It was composed of statesmen selected not because of any partisan tendencies, but for 
their supposed great ability and tried patriotism. It is not too much to say, that there 
was unquestioned purity and fidelity and generally a high tone of honor in all the 
departments during Mr. Monroe's term, and it is fortunate that West Point received the 
impression of a new and powerful impulse from that administration. It has been 
treasured by the Professors-who regard their honor as the brightest jewel-and trans- 
mitted to successive classes until it reached the distinguished actors in the last great 
struggle, in which they conferred renown on the whole country. 
If Mr. Calhoun's doctrine of the right of nullification and secession, announced long 
after his connection with Mr. Monroe's administration, contributed to produce the 
rebellion, which it unquestionably did, though he claimed that this was not his motive, 
he had also provided a remedy in elevating West Point into great efficiency. In one of 
his early reports as Secretary of War he said : 
"It ought never to be forgotten that military science in the present condition of 
the world cannot be neglected with impunity. It has become so complicated and 
extensive as to require for its acquisition extensive means and much time to be exclu- 
sively devoted to it. It can only flourish under the patronage of the Government, and 
without such patronage it must be almost wholly neglected. A comparatively small 
sum expended in time of peace to foster and extend the knowledge of military science, 
will, in the event of war, be highly beneficial to the country, and may be ihe means of 
its safety." 
The Chief Engineer in 1822 reported "that the Military Academy may be considered 
as having been in its infancy until about the beginning of 1818, prior to which time 
there was but little system or regularity and he added, that a large portion of the 
students "have been under the necessity of leaving the Academy without completing 
13 their education." The support given to the institution by Mr. Calhoun, and the pow- 
erful efforts of Major Thayer, enabled Mr. Calhoun to speak of the institution in 
December, 1823, as "not inferior to any similar institution in any country." 
The Southern tendencies of Mr. Calhoun were indicated even at this early day by a 
recommendation to establish another institution of like character in the Southern 
States ; but it is fortunate that the recommendation was not adopted, as both would 
have been more or less sectional, whereas the important fact that a large number of 
those educated at West Point from the Southern States remained true to the Union- 
General George H. Thomas is the most signal instance-proves that the influence of the 
institution was not as unfortunate as has been often alleged. 
A curious examiner into the law of compensation will find in the far-seeing circum- 
spection and sagacity of Mr. Calhoun as Secretary of War, and in the policy of nullifi- 
cation and secession to which he was subsequently committed-the good a partial 
remedy for the evil-much to interest him in weighing and comparing these different 
measures. Certain it is that it required the exercise of forethought and diligence at 
this early period to prepare for a war that happened only about thirty-six years after 
Mr. Monroe's administration had ceased. The term of Mr. Adams, which succeeded, 
was not favorable for such improvement, as supplies were rigidly withheld and party 
spirit ran high. Nor was the term of General Jackson favorable for that purpose, as he 
was an improvised soldier, not especially friendly to West Point, and there were other 
subjects to engage the attention of his Cabinet, arising from the violence of party action 
during his whole term. 
Reflection will perhaps show us that the organization of West Point, on a basis such 
as would enable the country to conduct war with the highest skill, could have taken 
place at no period with such advantage as during the administration of President 
Monroe, and it is to be regretted that General Cullum, in a work so valuable and likely 
to be so enduring, should have omitted, in his able preface, to trace to their true cause, 
so far as external management is concerned, the good results in skill and science, and. 
what is equally important, in honor and patriotism, among the officers of West Point 
which the war developed, and which have rendered that institution hereafter safe. 
It needed a concurrence in both the excellence of the instruction imparted and the 
peculiar relation of the students to render the efficiency of the institution complete. 
The cadets instead of paying are paid, and are the subjects of military rule. While in 
our colleges there is some yielding on the p>art of their professors to pecuniary interests, 
such interests as between professors and cadets in no manner interfere with the efforts 
made at West Point to render military education complete, and to impress upon it a 
character of nationality. 
From the Neic York Evening Post. 
The Cost and Profit of West Point. 
General Cullum's Biographical Register of West Point, of which we spoke a few days 
ago, has some interesting particulars of the services which the West Point Academy 
has done the country. 
The establishment of a military school was one of the hobbies of General Washing- 
ton. During the war for independence he had learned the practical importance of 
thorough military education. Congress, in that struggle, was compelled to ask Louis 
XVI. for engineers ; and General Charles Lee said, with his habitual sneer, that there 
was not an officer in the Continental army who knew ' ' the difference betwixt a cheval- 
de-frise and a cabbage garden." Every one recognizes the greatness of our debt to 
Steuben, Kosciusko, and others, who gave us the benefit of their study and training in 
the European wars. Some of our own officers were, perhaps, a little jealous of their 
more accomplished comrades of foreigh birth, but Washington did not share the feel- 
ing ; in his last annual message to Congress he forcibly reiterated his conviction that 
the country should train up a class of such officers taken from among our own youth : 
"Whatever arguments may be drawn from particular examples, superficially viewed, a 
thorough examination of the subject will evince that the art of war is both compre- 
hensive and complicated ; that it demands much previous study, and that the posses- 
sion of it in its most improved and perfect state, is always of great moment to the 
security of a nation. This, therefore ought to be a serious care of every government, 
and for this purpose an academy, where a regular course of instruction is given, is an 
obvious experiment which different nations have successfully employed. " 
The bill for the erection of a Military Academy of the United States, was reported to 
the House of Representatives, March 19, 1800, by Mr. Harrison G. Otis, of Massachu- 
setts ; Mr. Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, moved that the bill be rejected ; the 
motion was lost; but a few days later, Mr. Joseph Eggleston, of Virginia, procured the 
14 postponement of the bill by a vote of sixty-four to twenty-three.. It was not until 1802 
that the measure became a law. 
The Academy, however, had only the cold shoulder of the administration which in 
the mean time had come into power, and its early years were not very prosperous. The 
result of this policy was, that when the second war with England broke out, there were 
but sixty-five West Point men in the service. In the course of that war the record of 
the first two years shows in the army little but bad generalship, blunders, and defeats. 
Americans, however, learn war rapidly in the field, and the last campaigns were more 
creditable to our arms. In these campaigns West Point men took a conspicuous part. 
Of those in active service, one sixth were killed, one twelfth were wounded, and one- 
fifth of those who survived received one or more brevets for gallantry and meritorious 
conduct. 
During the thirty years which followed the close of this war, the officers of the 
regular army were employed in fighting the Indians, a training which, although useful, 
was yet very incomplete. At the breaking out of the war with Mexico, five hundred 
graduates of the Academy were in the service, and many others re-entered it from the 
occupations of civil life. In this war the utility of military education was strikingly 
proved. In less than a year and a half our small army in Mexico won thirty battles, 
took forty thousand prisoners, a thousand cannon, besides an immense amount of 
small arms and munitions of war, ten fortified places, and the capital of the enemy, 
and acquired territory for the country which now yields every year a revenue equal to 
three times the whole cost of the contest. General Scott, himself not a West Point 
graduate, thus summed up the lessons of this war : "I give it as my fixed opinion that, 
but for our graduated cadets, the war between the United States and Mexico might, 
and probably would, have lasted some four or five years, within its first half more de- 
feat than victories falling to our share. " 
These two brilliant campaigns gave an extravagant fame to the Military Academy, 
which at the breaking out of the rebellion, worked to its injury. The people expected 
impossibilities of it. In General Cullum's words, "the youthful graduates, who per- 
haps had never commanded a larger force than a company, or a battalion, were expected 
at once to lead vast armies of undisciplined troops through unknown morasses and 
tangled wildernesses to assured victory." It was inevitable that the popular expecta- 
tion should be disappointed, and that West Point should thereupon be as extravagantly 
decried as it had been extravagantly lauded. In this reaction of public feeling, the fact 
that the rebel armies were led by West Point men was argued with pertinacity as an 
additional argument against the usefulness of the Academy. 
But as the war went on West Point men steadily replaced the officers appointed from 
civil life in the higher commands. Men who before had hard experience only in 
petty war, learned with wonderful facility to practise grand strategy, and successfully 
conduct campaigns of unparalleled difficulty and importance. Grant and Sherman 
reached their proper places. The annals of the last years of the war justify General 
Cullum's boast that the "cost of educating the whole of the seceding graduates was 
not more than was saved by the military knowledge of loyal graduates on every day of 
the rebellion.'' 
The West Point Academy has given the country between two and three thousand edu- 
cated officers ; has procured for our army a world-wide reputation ; and, at the break- 
ing out of the rebellion, it kept nearly one half its Southern graduates loyal to their 
country ; yet it has never received, in any single year, an appropriation larger than is 
required to maintain a squadron of cavalry ; and has not cost the country, from 1802 
to the present time, a greater sum than was spent in any single week of the last years of 
the rebellion.

We know of no single contribution to the military history of the nation so rich in 
invaluable data and so essential to the future historian or student of American history 
as the volumes with the above title. The author, a distinguished officer of the Engi- 
neers, and lately Superintendent of the Academy, is himself an eleve of the " Cherished 
AZma Mater," with which he has been many years immediately connected as "In- 
structor of Practical Engineering," and more recently as its Superintendent, Devoted 
to his corps, to the Academy, and to the honor of the service to which the Military 
Academy is so important an adjunct; admirably qualified by study of the exact sciences 
and of the best ancient and modern histories, and by natural and mental endowments 
for labors of profound research and patient investigation, the graduates of the Academy 
are indeed fortunate in their military biographer. For no institution in the world does 
there exist so full and complete a record of its officers, teachers, and graduates, as we 
now have for the United States Military Academy. 
15 The execution of this task has been by no means an official duty, but was undertaken 
rather in payment of a debt of gratitude to the author's Alma Mater, which had bestowed 
upon him a valuable education and habits of usefulness.. 
It was, we believe, as long back as the year 1848, that the then Superintendent of the 
Military Academy, Capt. (now Brevet Brig.-General) Henry Brewerton, believing that 
a period had arrived when some formal and complete record of the services of the 
numerous graduates which the institution had matriculated during the many years of 
its existence, would be not only a convincing evidence of its usefulness, but a most 
valuable book of reference, adopted the idea of a work which should be not only a 
"Register " of the names and dates of appointment and graduation of all the graduates, 
but a brief record of their promotions in the army or of their occupations in civil life 
after graduation. The author was then Instructor of Practical Engineering at the 
Academy. The task was first assigned to other hands, but it soon became evident that 
it was an undertaking to execute which, thoroughly and fittingly, but few possessed the 
requisite qualifications or habits of mind, and almost naturally, we may say, it soon 
devolved upon him. "TheRegister of the Officers and Graduates of the United States 
Military Academy," from 1802 to 1850, was thus the germ of the present important work, 
and, valuable as it was, yet, as compared with the book before us, it is as the acorn to 
the fully developed oak. 
These remarks we deem appropriate, that the reader may fully understand that these 
volumes are not hasty gatherings together of such notes as could be speedily laid 
hands on, but an ordinary life's labor of an author peculiarly qualified for his task. 
That it was a herculean one may be judged from the author's own account of it in 
his preface. . ..... .... 
That by such an amount of patient labor alone could such a task be fittingly accom- 
plished, is evident from the statement, by the author, of its character and scope. . . 
We have devoted so much space to setting forth the origin and character of the work 
that we can spare little to treating of the actual contents ; the r^sum^ we have just made 
will leave, however, no room for doubt, we think, as to its invaluable characteristics. No- 
where else can such an epitome of materials for our country's military history be 
found ; none who would be familiar with that history should be without it, and certainly 
no one who has a relative or dear friend a graduate of the Military Academy, or who 
has been much associated with men and things connected with our military service, 
can well dispense with these volumes. 
We cannot close this notice without calling attention to the author's triumphant vin- 
dication of the graduates and of the Academy from the charge of "disloyalty." Here 
by accurate numerical comparisons he proves that 
" The statistics show that the West Point part of the army has been byfar the most loyal 
branch of the public service ; that nearly four fifths of its graduate officers remained 
faithful ; that one half of those from the South stood firm by the ' Stars and Stripes 
and, in the battles for the Union, that one fifth of those engaged laid down their lives, 
more than one third, and probably one half, were wounded, and the survivors can 
point with manly pride to their services, here recorded, for the preservation of the 
nation. 
"Can Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Union, Princeton, or any other college in the land 
show a higher record of patriotism and sacrifice ? Assuredly not, for their Southern 
graduates espoused the rebel cause almost en masse. Should then these noble semi- 
naries of learning be aspersed as nurseries of treason because they did not retain all 
their sieves in the Union fold ?" 
After showing how important an element to military success in war. and to the organi- 
zation and management of the great bodies of troops suddenly called together to subdue 
the Rebellion, were the graduates of the Academy, and the military knowledge which 
the Academy has been the means of disseminating through all classes, the author 
exclaims : 
" How insignificant is the expense of this great establishment, which has had an 
existence of two thirds of a century, at a total cost during that long period of useful- 
ness not exceeding the nation's outlay for carrying on war during a siw/le week of the 
closing years of the Rebellion! And since 1802, when it was created, the average 
annual appropriations have not been more than those for the maintenance of a squad- 
ron of cavalry. " 
In another place he affirms that the integrity of its graduates is proved by the fact 
that but two per cent, of the entire number have been cashiered or dismissed from the 
army, and nearly all of these for dissipation, and purely military offences. 
We have said enough, we think, to give a comprehensive idea of the value of such a 
work, and of the thoroughness with which it has been executed.

After many years of persevering toil I present to my brother 
Graduates of the Military Academy this Record of their services, 
honorable to themselves, giving world-renown to their Alma 
Mater, and claiming for their country a place in the first rank 
of military nations. Every source of information, official and 
private, has been exhausted to make this work accurate and 
complete. Archives have been ransacked, tons of manuscripts 
examined, letters by thousands written, and interrogatories 
almost countless put wherever a hope of gleaning any infor- 
mation at all reliable existed. Doubtless many errors will be 
found, but in a work of this magnitude and character, where 
positive data are often unattainable, mistakes are unavoidable; 
but with free access to the records of the War Department and 
Military Academy, a voluminous correspondence with graduates 
and their friends, and a personal acquaintance of more than thirty 
years with the movements and operations of the Army, I have 
by untiring industry, collected and condensed in these volumes 
as faithful summaries of the services of the eleves of the Military 
Academy, as I believe any single individual could accomplish. To 
avoid errors as far as practicable, the etat de service of each living 
loyal graduate was submitted to him for correction before being 
incorporated in this work. A large majority promptly responded, 
but I regret that many replied too late to change their records 
before being sent to the printer. 
The History of the Military Academy is too large a subject to 
be compressed within the preface to these volumes; but I cannot 
forbear dwelling a little upon the value of this noble institution 
to the country, and the cheap defense secured to the nation 
through the admirable instruction there given. 
The Father of his Country, in his last annual message to Con- 
gress, says: " Whatever arguments maybe drawn from particular 
examples, superficially viewed, a thorough examination of the VI 
PREFACE. 
subject will evince that the Art of War is both comprehensive 
and complicated: that it demands much previous study, and that 
the possession of it, in its most improved and perfect state, is 
always of great moment to the security of a nation." 
In elementary tactics, or the organizing and changing of troops 
of any arm from one formation to another, as from line into 
column or square, officers of ordinary capacity can make them- 
selves proficient in a very few months; but a general must know 
much more than this before he is capable of selecting a proper 
base and line of operations, of directing suitable formations on 
the field of battle, or manoeuvring his army to succesfully reach 
a chosen objective point. " Chaque soldat Franpais porte, dans sa 
giberne, son baton de marechai de France," was a true saying, pro- 
vided the soldier carried in his head, at the same time, the qualifi- 
cations for a marshal: hence nearly all of Napoleon's greatest 
generals, to whom he entrusted the command of armies, were 
either educated in military schools or had large experience in 
the wars of the French Revolution. Marshals like Ney and 
Macdonald, so terrible on the battle-field when directed by the 
master-genius of the educated Emperor, were sorry failures in 
strategic combinations when left to their own devices, as 
Dennewitz and the Katsbach bear witness. 
In our days, we no longer believe in what Chatham called 
" heaven-born generals." It is agreed that modern warfare is the 
offspring of science and civilization ; that it has its rules and its 
principles, which it is necessary to thoroughly master before 
being worthy to command ; and that it is wiser to profit by the 
lessons of history than to purchase experience by the blood of 
battle-fields. The brief span of a single life avails little in work- 
ing out the great problems of science ; but education supplies 
the piled-up aggregates of human knowledge. From the days of 
early Greece, which excelled in all the arts, military education has 
been deemed indispensable for great success in arms. It is mind, 
disciplined and instructed, which leads armies and builds up em- 
pires ; mind, not stultified with pedantry, but developed by 
thought and inward will, conferring the power of discerning, 
analyzing, and combining means essential to an end. This 
culture of the soldier is to be acquired, not alone in military 
academies, but in that greater school, the camp and battle-field. 
To form the accomplished commander, the practice of campaigns 
must be the sequence of the lessons taught by the masters of the 
art. " The knowledge of grand tactics," says Napoleon, " is ac- 
quired only by experience and by the study of the history of the PREFACE. 
VII 
campaigns of all the great captains. Gustavus Adolphus, Tu- 
renne, Frederick, like Alexander, Hannibal, and Caesar, have all 
acted on the same principles, of holding their forces united, being 
nowhere vulnerable, and throwing their masses upon important 
points : such are the principles which assure victory. Read 
again and again the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, 
Gustavus, Turenne, Eugene, and of Frederick. Make them your 
models. This is the only way of becoming a great captain and 
mastering the secrets of the art of war. Your genius, enlight- 
ened by this study, will induce you to reject all maxims in con- 
flict with those of these great commanders." 
Genius to conceive great projects and devise extraordinary 
means for their accomplishment is the first requisite of a great 
general; but, besides this creative power, he must have knowl- 
edge and experience, which are the implements with which he 
works. Some eminent commanders, it is true, have had genius 
without great learning ; but the foremost men of the world- 
Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon-were distinguished, not only 
as practical generals but as learned scholars. The first was in- 
structed by Aristotle in all branches of Grecian lore, modelled 
himself upon the heroes of Homer, and was an annotator of the 
Iliad ; the second was a great classical author, the master of 
Roman art, and the rival of Cicero in eloquence ; and the third 
would have been famous as a philosopher had he not been an em- 
peror. " Do you think," said Napoleon, " if I had not been gen- 
eral-in-chief, and the instrument of fate to a mighty nation, that 
I would have accepted place and dependence? No I I would 
have thrown myself into the study of the exact sciences. My 
path would have been that of Galileo and Newton ; and, since I 
have always succeeded in my great enterprises, 1 should have 
highly distinguished myself also in my scientific labors. I should 
have left the memory of magnificent discoveries." 
But, besides genius and knowledge, the habitude of enlarged 
command, which is the education of the field, is indispensable to 
make the great captain ; to know how to organize and form the 
character of an army, as well as to lead it when formed. It was 
not intellectual superiority alone, but that confidence inspired by 
discipline, which enabled Miltiades, with his ten thousand Greeks, 
to stem the avalanche of Persia on the plains of Marathon. It 
was not numbers and muscle that conquered Asia, but Alexan- 
der, young in years, but old in the experience of camps, with 
Philip's veteran phalanxes, led by such skilled commanders as 
Parmenio, Antipater, Attains, and other captains educated in war. VIII 
PREFACE. 
Hannibal was no blind Samson, removing Alpine barriers in order 
to inundate the plains of Italy with his Carthaginian hosts, but 
the learned pupil of Hamilcar, leading the war-trained bands of 
Carthalo, Hanno, Mutines, and Maharbal, well practised in the 
school of victory in Spain. Scipio, though without veteran le- 
gions, had seen the battles of Ticinus, Trebbia, and Cannm, and 
probably had served under Fabius and Marcellus ; but not till he 
had won that double victory over the armies of Syphax and As- 
diubal was he-the educated commander-able to cope with the 
great Punic warrior on the plains of Zama. Caesar was a stu- 
dent from his cradle ; and, though " in him was a thousand Ma- 
riuses," it was not till he had learned the art of war in Spain and 
Gaul, against barbarians, that he could conquer his distinguished 
rival at Pharsalia. 
Knowledge and experience have been equally the elements of 
success with modern generals. Turenne, carefully educated, and 
studying war under his distinguished uncle, Maurice, required 
a dozen campaigns to grow from the youthful commander in 
Lorraine to the consummate strategist, manoeuvring against 
Montecuculi. Gustavus, educated for the throne, and the heir of 
war with his powerful rivals of Poland and Russia, won his 
great victory of Leipsic by the enthusiasm inspired by his heroic 
leadership, no less than by the stern discipline of his troops. 
Conde, though rapidly passing from the school to the camp, and 
from the camp to victory, was, after the rough lessons of Merci, 
John de Wert and Turenne, thrice the general when vanquished 
at Senef, in his later career, than as the stripling victor of 
Rocroy. Prince Eugene, preferring Xenophon and Polybius to 
his breviary, deserted the Church for the camp; but with all his 
passion for war and numerous campaigns, he was not the finished 
commander till the siege of Lille and the day of Malplaquet. 
Marlborough had little book-lore; but from the age of sixteen he 
studied war in the field, and was a pupil of the great Turenne, 
though that education required many successive campaigns to 
change the Churchill of Sedgemoor into the Marlborough of 
Blenheim. Practice supplied his scholastic deficiencies equally 
as soldier or statesman. Frederick the Great, the heir to a mili- 
tary throne, was thoroughly educated for a soldier; but it re- 
quired the mortification of Mollwitz and the teachings of his 
faithful Schwerin to fit him to lead his Potsdam grenadiers through 
that wonderful career of seven years of glory. Wellington was 
educated at the military school of Angiers, in France; but it was 
in applying the principles of war, there taught, to his India cam- PREFACE.

paigns, that he learned the path to success in Spain and to win 
the laurelled crown of Waterloo. Napoleon, the meteor that has 
so dazzled the world, received the best military education in 
France; and, though his first campaigns are the most extraor- 
dinary on the page of history, it must be remembered that he 
had had the previous experience of the siege of Toulon and two 
years' service with the Army of the Alps. But, brilliant as were 
Castiglione, Arcola, and Rivoli, how much were they eclipsed by 
the after-glories of Austerlitz, Jena, Wagram, Borodino, and the 
immortal campaign of 1814! 
We could go on citing examples to the same effect till we had 
exhausted nearly the whole catalogue of distinguished com- 
manders of ancient and modern times; but the prominent generals 
we have named will suffice to show that, to a natural aptitude for 
war, soldiers, as in all professions and crafts, must be educated 
to their vocation; and, to rise to the high level of a finished cap- 
tain, much practice and the habitude of command are essential. 
Unfortunately, the lessons, taught on almost every page of the 
history of war have been too often lost upon our country; and 
the accumulated evidence of four great wars, in which this nation 
has been involved, does not seem to have changed the course of 
our rulers 
During the Revolution, having but few educated officers, we 
were very frequently dependent upon European soldiers of fortune, 
who were eagerly employed with high rank and extravagant 
pay. To Steuben, the disciple of the great Frederick, the 
Continental Army was mainly indebted for its discipline. Con- 
gress, through Dr. Franklin and Mr Deane, was compelled to ask 
Louis XVI for engineers; "for," said General Charles Lee, "we 
had not an officer in the army who knew the difference betwixt a 
chevaux de frise and a cabbage-garden." Though victory perched 
upon our standards in the beginning of the contest at Bemis' 
Heights, and we had the educated patriot soldier Schuyler to 
prepare our army for the struggle, Kosciuszko, the accomplished 
engineer, to plan our defenses, the impetuous and reckless daring 
of an Arnold to lead the assault, and the unerring aim of 
Morgan's riflemen to deprive the enemy of its ablest commander 
(Fraser), yet were we far from possessing the instruction neces- 
sary for successful war. In the school of adversity, and with the 
blood of thousands, Washington, though opposed to feeble gene- 
rals and small numbers, had to learn more difficult lessons than 
those first taught him at Braddock's defeat. 
Washington fully appreciated the saying " that an army of X 
PREFACE. 
asses led by a lion is vastly superior to an army of lions led by 
an ass:" hence his solicitude, to the day of his death, to see 
established a national school for the education of officers. With 
good generals, he knew an effective army might be created out 
of the most unpromising materials; of which we have the best 
proof in the examples of Portuguese and Hindoos under British, 
and Italians under French commanders. 
Through his efforts and those of the patriot statesmen of the 
Revolution, our Military Academy was established in 1802; but 
it led a languishing life, and, though war was impending, it may 
be said to have almost ceased to have an existence, under 
Dr. Eustis' feeble administration of the War Department. At the 
commencement of hostilities with Great Britain, there were but 
sixty-five graduates of the Military Academy in service, and our 
few regulars had scarce ever seen a battle-field. Again our 
armies had to meet the foe with few educated officers and but 
little experience in war: hence the years 1812 and 1813, except- 
ing the sea-fights, were almost always annals of American 
defeats. The glorious souvenirs of Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and 
King's Mountain were obscured by the pusillanimous surrenders 
at Detroit and Niagara, the barbarous massacres at Hampton 
and the river Raisin, and the disgraceful failures at Chrysler's 
Field and La Cole Mill. During the brief and brilliant campaigns 
of 1814 and 1815, when our education in war was anew pur- 
chased upon unsuccessful fields of blood, the full tide of triumph 
flowed on almost uninterruptedly, and the "Second War of Inde- 
pendence" closed in a blaze of victory. In these last achieve- 
ments the youthful sons of the Military Academy nobly performed 
their part. Of those serving in the field, one sixth laid down 
their lives in the struggle, one fourth were killed or wounded, 
and one fifth of those who survived received one or two brevets 
each for their distinguished gallantry in that war. 
Thirty years of lucrative peace followed before our next contest, 
but the nation had somewhat profited by its past shortcomings. 
The Military Academy, on the breaking out of the Mexican war, 
had over five hundred highly-educated graduates in service, and 
nearly as many more in civil life, ready to resume their swords 
in their country's defense. Our regular army, mostly officered 
by them, had acquired experience in fighting savages on our ex- 
tended frontier, and had learned discipline in the swamps of 
Florida. Our brave volunteers, with high aptitude to form the 
best of soldiers, wisely sought the eldves of our national school, 
and tendered to them the command of their regiments and bat- PREFACE.

taiions. The material of battle had been prepared by skilful 
hands, and educated minds directed the complicate machinery of 
war. The consequence of this fortuitous condition of things, de- 
spite political machinations, is too well known to require to be 
detailed here. Suflice it to say that, in comparing this with the 
preceding war, the fruits of military education are most appa- 
rent. In Canada, during two and a half years, with much 
larger forces than the enemy, our defeats outnumbered our victories ; 
our gains in prisoners of war were less than our losses ; our 
trophies were few ; and our conquests scarce extended beyond 
the camps we occupied. In the Mexican war, our small, but he- 
roic army, in less than a year and a half, though opposed to the 
quadruple force of the enemy, won thirty victories, captured 
forty thousand soldiers, took a thousand cannon and an immense 
amount of small arms and munitions of war, carried ten fortified 
places and the capital of the enemy, and extended our conquests 
over the immense territory of Mexico and California. The gain 
of that war, to say nothing of national reputation, now annually 
pays more than thrice the total cost of the contest. 
The emulator of Cortez, the veteran Scott,-one of the most 
experienced soldiers this nation has produced, and the consum- 
mate leader of our armies in Mexico,-says, in a letter to the 
commission appointed under the act of June 21, 1860, to examine 
into the organization, system of discipline, and course of instruc- 
tion of the Military Academy : " I give it as my fixed opinion 
that, but for our graduated cadets, the war between the United 
States and Mexico might, and probably would, have lasted some 
four or five years, with, in its first half, more defeats than victories 
falling to our share ; whereas, in less than two campaigns, we 
conquered a great country and a peace, without the loss of a 
single battle or skirmish." 
The great results of the Mexican war gave the Military 
Academy an immense reputation, and its popularity continued 
till the first outbreak of the late Rebellion, which at once 
assumed proportions entirely incommensurate with any of our 
past notions or experience in war; yet the youthful graduates 
of the institution, who perhaps had never commanded a larger 
force than a company or battalion, were expected at once to 
lead vast armies of undisciplined troops through unknown 
morasses and tangled wildernesses to assured victory. Though 
they quickly learned to apply the sound precepts taught at 
the Military Academy, yet at the beginning of the war it was 
hardly reasonable to expect them to successfully manoeuvre XII

colossal armies in an unexplored country, and in the presence 
of a brave and active enemy, who thoroughly knew the topog- 
raphy of every battle-field and theatre of campaign. Under these 
circumstances, successful leadership required large experience, as 
well as knowledge and genius, such as had been exhibited by 
scarce a score of generals since the earliest period of authentic 
history; for, leaving out Asiatic conquerors with their fabulous 
hosts, which could neither be fed nor moved in campaign, it 
may safely be asserted that not twenty generals, prior to the 
time of the Southern rebellion, had ever commanded, in a single 
battle-field, an army of one hundred thousand men. 
These early failures disappointed the cherished hopes of the 
nation, and foreign adventurers and greedy demagogues, who 
were aspirants for high appointments in the service, seized the 
occasion with avidity to make the Academy a target for every 
kind of vituperation, particularly the unjust charge of the dis- 
loyalty of its graduates. It is, unfortunately, true that many for- 
got the flag under which they were educated, to follow false gods. 
But who were the leaders of this treason but the honored and 
trusted in the land, filling, or who had filled, the highest places in 
the government: Senators, Representatives, members of the Cabi- 
net, foreign Ministers, Judges of United States Courts, and even 
those who had been elected by the people to fill the highest offices 
in their gift ? Was it, then, a greater crime for graduates of our 
national Academy to forsake their country than for the highest 
officials in every branch of the government, executive, legisla- 
tive, and judicial, who, from the seceding States, almost to a man, 
joined the rebel standard ? 
But let us examine this rebellion record a little more closely. 
In the executive department, four Presidents were living when 
Secession began. Of these, the only Southerner joined the 
rebels; another did the country more harm than an avowed ene- 
my ; while the others certainly were not over demonstrative in 
their efforts to preserve the Union. Belonging to the bench of 
the Supreme Court there were four Southern judges, of whom 
two remained loyal, one was strongly sympathetic with the 
South, and one joined the rebels. The Southern judges of the 
United States District Courts sided with their own people. Of the 
Senators in Congress from the seceding States but one, and of 
the House of Representatives but three remained loyal. Nearly 
all the agents of the State, Treasury, Interior, and Post-office De- 
partments, residing in, or from the seceding States, espoused the 
rebel cause. Over one fourth of the officers of the Navy on the PREFACE.

active list resigned or were dismissed in 1860-61, nearly all of 
whom, being Southerners, probably joined in the Rebellion. Of 
those appointed in the Army from civil life nearly one half, while 
but a little over one fifth of the West Point officers, left the ser- 
vice and joined in the rebellion. 
With these pregnant facts before us, we would ask : was it a 
greater wrong in an humble graduate to forget the nation's foster- 
ing care in training him for four years at the Military Academy, 
than for a President to renounce his allegiance to the country 
which for four years had encircled his brow with the republic's 
crown ? Was it more disreputable to forsake the flag beneath which 
the graduate had been reared, than to stain the revered and vener- 
able ermine of the Supreme Bench with the Upas of Secession? Were 
the makers of the laws-Southern Senators and Representatives- 
who trampled the Constitution under foot, less guilty than grad- 
uates, for violating their vows ? Strange to say, though so many 
of these highest officials of the land rebelled against the Union, 
we rarely hear Congress, the Supreme Court, the executive, and 
other departments of the government, stigmatized as nurseries 
of treason, while the Military Academy has been the butt 
against which every opprobrious epithet has been hurled by 
unscrupulous demagogues, as false to the flag and ungrateful 
to the nation, notwithstanding the statistics show that the 
West Point part of the army has been by far the most loyal 
branch of the public service ; that nearly four fifths of its 
graduate officers remained faithful; that one half of those from 
the South stood firm by the stars and stripes; and, in the battles 
for the Union, that one fifth of those engaged laid down their 
lives, more than one third, and probably one half, were wounded, 
and the survivors can point with manly pride to their services, 
here recorded, for the preservation of the nation. 
Can Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Union, Princeton or any other 
college in the land show a higher record of patriotism and sacri- 
fice? Assuredly not: fortheir Southern graduates espoused the 
rebel cause almost en masse. Should, then, these noble seminaries 
of learning be aspersed as nurseries of treason because they did 
not retain all their eleves in the Union fold? And is it just to 
launch anathemas at the Military Academy which saved by the 
antidote of its loyal teachings one half of its southern pupils, 
who, from infancy to early manhood, before they entered this 
our truly national institution, had imbibed the poison of secession, 
till the virus had permeated every fibre of their hearts and brains? 
Note.-See Rebellion Record of Graduates on page 8. XIV 
PREFACE. 
That noble band of one hundred and sixty-two southern grad- 
uates, cradled and reared in state allegiance, but rescued from 
treason by West Point influences, bravely battled against rebel- 
lion, and no less firmly against every appeal of relative and 
friend to swerve them from loyalty and duty. These, with all 
Northern officers (save sixteen who dishonored their Alma Mater) 
and one hundred and fifteen graduates from civil life who re- 
joined the military service, fought the good fight for the 
Union, though their merits were often overlooked to give place 
to those who had not learned, as Napoleon calls it, "le metier des 
armes." 
Much unreasonable clamor has been echoed throughout the 
length and breadth of the land of the enormity of graduates 
joining in the Rebellion because they were educated at the pub- 
lic expense. True the government gave them the best scientific 
military education, at a cost for each of from two to three thou- 
sand dollars. But, it may be asked, was this out of pure love 
for the individual cadets and as a charitable bounty to promising 
young men, or did the republic, requiring the best officers for its 
small standing army, act upon the principle of all communities, 
that it was more profitable to employ educated talent to execute 
her high trusts than to procure cheap ignorance, to be heavily 
discounted in disaster and disgrace on the first shock of arms ? 
It is not for the benefit of the Military Academy but for the 
nation's self that she supports and fosters that noble seminary 
of science and military art, which has already a thousand times 
repaid its cost in the success of our arms, in the diffusion of 
special knowledge, in the execution of great public works, and 
in the proverbial integrity of its graduates. The whole annual 
cost of the institution would not equal the losses through igno- 
rance by a single blunder in ordnance or engineering construc- 
tion, or the profits by knavery on a few corrupt contracts; and 
the compensation for the educated talent of the graduates of the 
Academy, if obtained from civil life, would exceed the pay of offi- 
cers of the army by an amount far greater than the entire expenses 
of that institution: hence it is supported not only to secure effici- 
ency but as a measure of economy. It might as well be argued that 
the nation pays high salaries to its Presidents, Judges, and Le- 
gislators as gratuities, and not for their services to the republic, 
as that the Military Academy is a charity school for the benefit 
of its eleves. The nation maintains the Military Academy exclu- 
sively for its own, and not for the graduated interest, and the 
entire cost of educating the whole of the seceding graduates in PREFACE.

money was not more than was saved by the military knowledge 
of its loyal graduates on every day of the rebellion, and the saving 
to the reputation of our arms was wholly incommensurate with 
any price paid for the maintenance of that nursery of soldiers. 
But how insignificant is the expense of this great establish- 
ment which has had an existence of two thirds of a century, at a 
total cost during that long period of usefulness not exceeding 
the nation's outlay for carrying on war during a single week of 
the closing years of the Rebellion ! and since 1802, when it was 
created, the average annual appropriations have not been more 
than those for the maintenance of a squadron of cavalry. Yet 
for this pittance in the yearly budget, this admirable institution 
has supplied the nation with over 2 200 accomplished officers, 
of which any army might well be proud; has filled every arm of 
the service with talent, efficiency and integrity; has materially 
aided in successfully conducting three great wars, extending our 
national domain, and preserving the Union; has perpetually 
pushed the wild savage from our borders, and been the pioneer 
of advancing civilization; has constructed and armed our fortifi- 
cations, improved our harbors, lakes and rivers, defined our 
boundaries, surveyed and lighted our coasts, and explored the 
length and breadth of our land; has given to our militia and 
volunteers large numbers of valuable officers, and to our colleges 
able presidents and professors; has furnished distinguished civil 
engineers, who have bound our territory together with a net work 
of railways and canals; has supplied valuable city, state and 
government functionaries; has improved our workshops and the 
culture of the soil; has added its mite to the counting-house, the 
bar and the pulpit; and, through the contributions and text-books 
of its graduates, has greatly elevated the scientific standard of 
most of the educational institutions throughout our country, and 
even extended its influence abroad. 
With such a catalogue of services of the eleves of the Military 
Academy; while the integrity of its graduates is proved by the 
fact that but about two per cent, of their entire number have 
been cashiered or dismissed from the army, and nearly all these 
for dissipation and purely military offences; and where there is 
so much excellence, matured for years by the thought and fos- 
tering care of so many wise and conscientious men who have 
shaped the Academy's destinies-it is certainly due to the insti- 
tution, which has been tested in the crucible of peace and war, 
that our statesmen should feel that the past is a guarantee of 
future usefulness; that its value should be enhanced by adding XVI 
PREFACE. 
materially to the number of its graduates, now limited to about 
one annually to every million of our people; that untried projects 
of military education should be discarded as schemes like to re- 
turn to plague the inventors; and that this great national Academy 
is worthy of the country's confidence, and, as Napoleon said of 
the Polytechnic School, is for the Army, "le poulet aux oeufs 
d'or." 
In advocating the importance of military education and setting 
forth the usefulness of our great National Academy, there is no 
design of arrogating for its graduates any exclusive excellence as 
leaders of our armies, nor of detracting from the merits of those 
who have not enjoyed the same advantages. All honor to our 
patriotic and gallant volunteers who, from the bar, the farm, the 
counting-house, the work-shop, and every sphere of life, rushed at 
the sound of the first hostile gun fired in the Rebellion to their 
country's defense ! Their self-sacrifice in giving up lucrative 
positions and the comforts of home for the privations of camp, 
their intelligence in meeting the difficult requirements of their 
new vocations, their endurance through long marches and weary 
campaigns, their steadfastness in the darkest hours of disaster, 
their valor on the battle-field or in the deadly assault, their 
moderation when victory had assured our success, and their 
return as peaceful citizens to a cordial submission to the laws of 
their preserved country, are worthy of all commendation. Doubt- 
less none more than they felt and appreciated the great value of 
military education and experience as essential adjuncts to a 
natural genius for war in forming the great captain. Those only 
who know nothing of the profession of arms- 
"Count wisdom as no member of the war, 
Fore-stall our prescience, and esteem no act 
But that of hand : the still and mental parts, 
That do contrive how many hands shall strike 
When fitness calls them on, and know, by measure , 
Of their observant toil, the enemies' weight; 
Why, this hath not a finger's dignity ; 
They call this bed-work-inapp'rj'-, closet war : 
So that the ram that batters down the wall, 
For the great swing and rudeness of its poise, 
They place before his hand that made the engine ; 
Or those that with the fineness of their souls 
By reason guide its execution." STATISTICS

This record shows that of the 
1,219 Graduates of the Military 
Academy, supposed to be living at 
the beginning of the Rebellion, 99 
in civil life and 184 from the army 
joined in the war against the Uni- 
ted States, or less than 23 per cent. 
Adding even two-thirds of those of 
whom it is unknown whether 
they were loval or disloyal (whi^h 
would probably include all that 
were living). It appears that more 
than three-fonrths of the Graduates 
remained faithful to the Union. 
Of the 821 Graduates In the 
army when the Southern States 
seceded, 184 Joined In the Rebel- 
lion. being 22 per cent., or but a 
little over one-fifth of the whole 
number. 
Of the 99 Graduates who Joined 
in the Rebellion from civil life, all 
were from slave territory, or resi- 
dents therein, except one. 
Of the 350 Graduates born in or 
appointed from slave territory, 
who were in military service when 
the Southern States seceded, 162 
remained loval. and 168 joined the 
rebel ranks-that is, they were 
; about equally divided. In addi- 
tion to the latter, 16 from the free 
; States joined in the Rebellion, 
j making the total of 184. 
Of the 292 Loyal Graduates in 
civil life at the date of secession, 
115 re-entered the military service 
as otllcers of Regulars or Volun- 
teers, to suppress tho Rebellion, 
which included two-sevenths of t hose 
over 45 years old, and all below 
that age, except 39, who from dis- 
ability and other causes, did not 
take an active part in the war, 
though many performed useful 
services in civil capacities requir- 
ing military knowledge, while 
others, who had tendered their 
services, were unable to procure 
commissions. 
Of those tn the military service 
of the United States during the 
Rebellion, over one-half held volun- 
teer commissions. 
Of the Graduates who served in 
tho battles of the Rebeliion, one- 
nfth laid down their Ilves to pre- 
serve the Union, and more than 
one- third - probably one - half - 
! were wounded in defence of their 
| country's Hag.

* The Rebellion is considered as beginning Jan. 9, 1861, when the first rebel shot was fired Into tho 
" Star of the West," bearing the United States flag, and terminating Aug. 12,1866, the date of the Presi- 
dent's final proclamation that all hostilities had ceased. 
This List embraces only the principal engagements of the Rebellion, the many thousands of skirmishes 
and minor actions being omitted. Though much care has been bestowed upon its preparation, it is by no 
means perfect, for want of reliable information, which does not exist in published works, nor do the 
records of the War Department give full and entirely satisfactory data. In the classification here adopted 
the term Battle is applied to prolonged contests of armies or large bodies, usually not less than an army 
corps; Combat to a lesser battle, where a division at least was engaged ; and Action, for the want of a better 
appellation, or as a substitute for Affair, used by some military writers, is here employed to designate a 
minor engagement between small bodies of one or a few regiments. In the summaries of services of 
graduates it will be found that these terms do not always correspond to the classification in this list, which 
has been more recently prepared and with fuller information than was attainable when the former were 
written. 14

f The Chief Engineer was ex officio Inspector of the Military Academy, from April 7, 1818, till the passage of the 
iaw of July 13, 1866, which provided that the "charge of the Academy shall be in the War Department, under such 
officer as the Secretary of War may assign to that duty." 
t The selection of the Superintendents of the Military Academy was confined to the Corps of Engineers from the 
establishment of the institution, March 16, 1802, till the passage of the law of July 13,1866, which opened it to the 
entire army. By the act of June 12, 1858, the local rank of Colonel was conferred upon the Superintendent. 
§ Major Williams resigned June 20, 1803, on a point of rank, and pending its settlement to April 19, 1805, when he 
again returned to service as Chief Engineer, no permanent Superintendent of the Military Academy was appointed, the 
command devolving upon the Senior Officer of the Corps of Engineers present for duty. 
II During the absence of Colonel Swift from West Point, on war or other services, while he was Superintendent, the 
command of the Military Academy devolved on Captain Alden Partridge or other senior officer of the Corps of Engineers 
present for duty. 
1 Bvt. Major P. Q. T. Beauregard, Corps of Engineers, by order of the Secretary of War, John B. Floyd, relieved 
Colonel Delafield Jan. 23, 1861, from the superintendency of the Military Academy, but was himself displaced In five days 
after, Jan. 28, 1861, ly direction of the succeeding Secretary of War, Joseph Holt, the command again devolving 
on Colonel Delafield. 40

Died, July 23, 1865, at Geneva, N. Y. : Aged 82.* 
* The Superintendent of the Military Academy, General Cullum, directed honors to be paid to 
Gen. Swift's memory, in the following order : 
" Headquarters, U. S. Military Academy, 1 
" West Point, N. Y., July 30,1865. J 
" The First Graduate of the U. S. Military Academy, General Joseph G. Swift, departed this 
life at his residence in Geneva, N. Y., on the 23d instant, at the advanced age of nearly 82. 
" General Swift was born December 31,1783, in Nantucket, Mas.; was graduated at the Mili- 
tary Academy soon after its organization ; and was promoted Oct. 12,1802, to be Second Lieutenant 
in the Corps of Engineers, in which branch of service he continued through all the successive 
grades, till he became Colonel and Chief Engineer of the Army, July 31,1812-during that period 
being chiefly engaged in the construction of fortifications on the Atlantic Coast. In the War of 
1812-15, with Great Britain, after serving as Aide-de-Camp to Major General Pinckney, he became, 
in 1813, the Chief Engineer in Wilkinson's campaign on the St. Ixiwrence, participating in the 
Battle of Chrystler's Field, and was subsequently, in 1813-14, Chief Engineer of the forces for 
the defense of New York, receiving for his ' Meritorious Services,' the brevet of Brigadier- 
General, Feb. 19, 1814. After the war he assumed the direct Superintendency of the Military 
Academy, and was its Inspector for a brief period preceding his resignation, Nov. 12, 1818. 
Upon leaving the Army, he, for nine years, was Surveyor of U. S. Revenue for the Port of New 
York, and then became a distinguished Civil Engineer, employed by the Government, for a long 
period, in directing harbor improvements on the Northern Lakes, and aiding in suppressing 
Canada Border disturbances, being, in 1841, honored by the President with a mission to the 
British Provinces with reference to a Treaty of Peace with Great Britain. 
" Born at the close of the American Revolution, and dying at the termination of the American 
Rebellion, General Swift lived through the most momentous period of history, and was himself a 
prominent actor in the grand drama of our national existence. His military career began with 
that of the Military Academy, which he fostered in its feeble infancy, and ho lived to see, in its 
developed maturity, the sons of his cherished Alma Mater directing the high destinies of his 
country on victorious fields in Canada, Florida, Mexico, and within the wide domain of our 
Southern border. He now calmly sleeps, after a long and useful life of more than fourscore 
years, leaving this world in the blissful consciousness that he and his brother graduates of this 
Institution, have ably performed their allotted part in subduing the savage foe, in conquering 
foreign enemies, and crushing treason in oar midst, and that he has loft behind a regenerated 
fatherland of one people, with but one emblem of nationality, sacred to Liberty and the triumph 
of the best Government on earth. 
" The personal excellence of General Swift can be only appreciated by those who knew and 
loved him, and they were all whom he met on his long journey of life, for he had no enemies 
but his country's. Amiable and sincere, spotless in integrity, stanch in friendship, liberal in 
charity, General Swift was a model gentleman, a true patriot, and Christian soldier, worthy of 
the imitation of all who, like him, would live honored and revered, and die universally 
regretted. 
" As an appropriate tribute of respect from the Military Academy to his memory, there will 
be fired, under the direction of the Commandant of Cadets, eleven minute guns, commencing at 
meridian, to-morrow, and the National flag will be displayed at half-staff from the same hour 
until sunset." U. S. MILITARY ACADEMY.

Second Lieut. , Reg. of Artillerists, Mab. 6, 1806. 
* The Secretary of War announced his death to the army, April 23,1864, in the following Gene- 
ral Order: 
" Another, and among the last of the heroes of our ' Second War of Independence,' is gone. 
Bvt. Maj.-General Joseph gilbert Totten, Chief of Engineers of the U. S. Army, departed this 
life on the 22d instant, in this city, in his seventy-sixth year. 
" General Totten was born August 23, 1788, in New Haven, Ct., and was graduated at the 
Military Academy in 1805, from which he was promoted to the Corps of Engineers, and, with a 
brief interval, from 1806 to 1808, continued in that arm of service, passing honorably through 
every grade until he became, in 1838, Chief Engineer of the Army. The Senate, before his death, 
unanimously confirmed bis nomination by the President, to be ' Major-General by brevet, lor 
long, faithful and eminent services.' 
" General Totten's military career of more than half a century, has been one of continued 
usefulness and distinguished services. In 1812, he was called to the field to assume the ardu- 
ous and responsible position of Chief Engineer of the Army on the Niagara frontier, where he 
took a conspicuous part in the attack on Queenstown Heights ; and the following year in the 
capture of Fort George, Upper Canada, and repulse of the British flotilla on Lake Ontario. In 
1813-14, he became Chief Engineer of the forces successively commanded by Generals Wilkin- 
son, Macomb, and Izard, participating in the attack on La Cole Mill, Lower Canada, and the 
battle of Plattsburg. In this brief war, General Totten won the respect and admiration of his 
brother officers, and the marked approbation of the Government, which conferred upon him 
two brevets for his meritorious and distinguished services. On the return of peace, his high 
professional abilities were called into activity on the Board of Engineers, which projected our 
extended line of lake defenses and sea coast fortifications. These works, most of which were 
planned by himself, are the enduring monuments to his memory. In the war with Mexico, 
General Scott summoned his early companion-in-arms to aid him in the siege of VeraCruz, where, 
for his 'gallant and meritorious conduct,' General Totten was brevetted a Brig.-General. For 
the past twenty-six years, ho has been at the head of the Engineer Department, administering 
with untiring devotion, spotless integrity, and signal ability, the varied duties, the financial 
responsibilities, and the professional labors of that arm of service so essentia] to our na- 
tional defense. 
"In addition to General Totten's multiplied military avocations, he was an active member of 
the Light House Board, from its organization in 1852 ; a Regent of the Smithsonian Institution, 
from its establishment by Congress, in 1846 ; a Corporator of the National Academy of Sciences, 
created in 1863 ; one of the Harbor Commissioners for (he cities of New York and Boston ; and 
a member of many scientific associations. 
" Distinguished for urbanity of manner, genial social qualities, and that great moral excel- 
lence which adorns the Christian soldier and gentleman, he has left behind an exalted repu- 
tation worthy of the emulation of his brother officers, and which his surviving children may 
well regard as a priceless legacy. 
" As a tribute to his memory, the officers of the Corps of Engineers and Military Academy 
will wear the prescribed badge of mourning for thirty days, and the day after the reception of 
this order at the Military Academy half-hour guns will be fired from sunrise to sunset, and the 
national flag be displayed at half-staff.

Senate, or compatible with the public interests ; for it would, very possibly, imply the 
necessity of ulterior proceedings not contemplated in the petition, and which it would be 
manifestly improper to originate on this wise, or from this committee at all. As far, however, 
as the committee may be justified in pursuing the course desired, they will proceed very 
cheerfully. 
"The career of the petitioner in the Army of the United States, during a long period of 
nearly forty years, is a matter of history that may justly excite the pride and admiration 
of every American citizen. Brave in battle, ho presided, for along time, with distinguished 
honor and ability, at the head of one of the most difficult and arduous bureaus of the military 
department, and has left to the country lasting monuments of his skill and science in the 
construction of various magnificent fortifications, both to exhibit her strength and to insure her 
safety. 
" While thus honorably and usefully employed in the public service for so many years, he 
was constantly confl led in by his country, and never abused her confidence in the disbursemint 
of immense sums of money, and lived honored and respected by all classes of men, with no 
taint of suspicion attaching to his name. 
"With a character so high to sustain him, the charge of malfeasance in office should be 
received with great caution by the people, and rigidly scrutinized by Congress, and no unjust 
influences of any nature whatsoever, should be permitted to prevail in his case ; but if, unfortu- 
nately, such influences do obtain ground, then it is obviously the imperative duty of Congress 
to remove them, for no higher duty devolves upon the federal legislature than the protection 
of the honor of its military officers, of which it is necessarily, to a very great extent, the chief 
custodian. 
"In the attainment of this object no obstacle whatever should be allowed to interpose. 
Wherein legislation is deficient, it should be supplied, and all bars of rules^and regulations of 
the service should be removed, for nothing can be so dear to the American officer as his honor, 
and nothing should be more assiduously guarded by the American people than that, for the 
honor of the soldiers of the Republic is in no small measure the life and spirit of enlightened 
freedom. With these brief general observations, the committee will as briefly revert to the case 
of the petitioner. 
" The case of General Charles Gratiot, who was the Chief of the Corps of Engineers in the 
Army of the United States, has been so elaborately discussed in every circle, and so fully 
reported upon to Congress, that the history of the whole case is familiar to every one. 
"The alleged grievance, which constitutes the cause of his dissatisfaction, was the sum- 
mary dismissal of the petitioner from the army, in the year 1838, by the President of the Unite 1 
States-first, upon the plea that the power thus exercised was arbitrary, and contrary to the 
true meaning and intent of the act of Congress conveying it; and secondly, that a defalcation 
in the accounts of the petitioner, which was the cause assigned for the removal, did not and 
never did exist in truth. 
" In support of his first plea, the petitioner exhibits a mass of testimony, which is certainly 
entitled to be very calmly weighed and measured ; and among the same is the opinion of the 
General Commanding-in-Chief, upon a parallel case, .than which no authority can be higher. 
" In support of the second plea, he denies totally the truth of the charge of defalcation, and 
contends that he is not, and never was indebted to the United States for moneys misused by 
him, and that a just and legal adjustment of his accounts will bring the United States in debt 
to him ; that the withholding of the funds, upon the demand of the Secretary of War, was a 
measure of self-defence, justified by the circumstances of the case, and that he was then and is 
now prepared for an equitable settlement, which is his demand and desire. 
"It seems to the committee that both of the pleas are reasonable, and should receive atten- 
tion, urged as they are, with the earnestness of conscious rectitude, by a gallant soldier, who 
has acquired a right to be heard from the blood he has spilled in battle. 
"Further than this the Committee regret that they cannot go, as it is not in their power tc 
afiord an adequate retnedy by recommending the passage of any law for the relief of the peti- 
tioners, and they therefore ask to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject. " U. S. MILITARY ACADEMY.

* General Halleck, commanding the Division of the Pacific, in directing military honors to be 
paid to his memory, says : 
" General De Russy was many years Superintendent of the Military Academy, often served 
as a member of the Board of Engineers, and was several times Acting Chief Engineer of the 
Army. At the time of his death he was in charge of the fortifications on the Pacific Coast. 
He was the oldest graduate of the Military Academy in active service, and one of the last of 
the heroes of the War of 1812. 
" Of great kindness of heart, and possessing most urbane and polished manners, ho was 
endeared to a large circle of friends, and the surviving graduates of the Military Academy who 
were educated under his superintendence, will cherish his memory as that of the kindest of 
fathers. By his strict integrity in the expenditure of many millions of public money, his faith- 
ful discharge of every duty of office and of life, and his unsullied honor, he has left an example 
most worthy of imitation." U. 8. MILITARY ACADEMY.

* General Hitchcock, who passed over the battle ground, Feb. 22, 1836, reports : "Along the 
north and west faces of the triangular breastwork, formed by felled trees, were about thirty 
bodies, mere skeletons, although much of the clothing was left upon them. They were lying, 
almost every one of them, in precisely the position they must have occupied during the light- 
their heads next to the logs over which they had delivered their Are, and their bodies stretched 
with striking regularity, parallel to each other. They had evidently been shot dead at their 
posts, and the Indians had not disturbed them, except by taking the scalps of most of them. 
* * * The advanced guard, doubtless, fell during the first attack. It was during a cessation 
of fire, that the little band still remaining, about thirty in number, thiewupthe triangular 
breastwork, which, from the haste with which it was constructed, was necessarily defective, 
and could not protect the men in the second attack." 
The action laste 1 from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. The U. S. troops amounted to 108, and the savage 
foe to 800 Seminole Indians, and 100 negroes. While a man could load a musket, the firing was 
continued.-Captain Gardiner, next to the last surviving officer, fell, pierced by five or six 
shots, his mortal wound being in the breast.

*This system of Rifled Ordnance was first introduced into actual service at the Battle of 
Bull Run, Va., July 21. 1861. Throughout the Rebellion ot 1861-66 of the Seceding States, these 
guns have been most extensively an 1 successfully used by both Army and Navy, and were con- 
spicuously serviceable in almost the closing operations of the w ir, before Mobile. The calibres of 
these guns are now made from 10 to 300 pounds. In General Gilmore's operations against Fort 
Sumter and Charleston, S. C., in 1863-64, one of these guns, a 30-pounder, was fired from Cum- 
ming's Point 4,606 times before bursting, an 1 generally at 49° elevation, with charges of 3% 
pounds. Of these rounds, 4,253 reached the City of Charleston, a distance not less than four 
miles. This is, perhaps, the most noted instance of endurance on record. U. S. MILITARY ACADEMY.

* At a meeting of the Assistants of the Coast Survey, Feb. 18,1867, the following Resolution 
was adopted, " as a tribute to the memory of their respected and honored Chief, and beloved 
and valued friend 
"That, in the death of Professor Alexander Dallas Bache, Superintendent of the United States 
Coast Survey, the country has lost an eminent and faithful public servant, science its highest 
representative in America, and the Coast Survey its wise, prudent, and energetic Chief, under 
whose careful administration and guardianship it has attained and maintained its present 
vigorous existence." 
The Secretary of the Treasury announced his death in the following order, of Feb. 19,1867 : 
" Treasury Department, February 19.1867. 
" In the death of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey, Professor Bache, the Department 
mourns the loss of one of its most valuable and most highly cherished officers. His decease 
occurred at Newport, R. I., on the 17th Inst., in his sixty-first year. 
" No man within the present generation was more widely known in the walks of practical 
science; none has been so closely identified with collateral service in the various public 
departments. 
" Alexander Dallas Bache was born at Philadelphia, in April, 1806. He was graduated at 
the Military Academy in 1825, and there remained a year as Assistant Professor. Subseqently, 
having resigned from the Corps of Engineers, he filled, at intervals, until the year 1843, an 
important chair in the University of Pennsylvania. 
Within the same period he was, during five years, President of Girard College, and matured 
the system of education adopted for the Philadelphia High School, yielding to that object time 
for examining the principles of systematic education in Europe. 
"His devotion to practical science, and his abilities as an administrative officer being well 
known, Professor Bache was appointed, in December, 1843, to the vacant post of Superintendent 
of the Coast Survey. Under his direction, that great national work has been eminent, no less 
for its abundant results than for its high scientific character, which has won the approbation of 
the leading learned bodies of the world, among whom his name has long been held in honor. 
He possessed by nature the qualities most conducive to success in the management of widely 
extended public interests. Invariably mild and forbearing towards those serving under his 
direction, his unremitting energies and his untiring patience were as invariably given to the 
accomplishment of the service in view. 
" His sympathy with the efforts of others, and readiness to give credit for their exertions, 
secured a cordial spirit of co-operation. Sagacity, perfect freedom from bias, and constant 
activity within the sphere of his public duties, strongly marked his relations with this Depart- 
ment. 
"He was a member of the Light-house Board, and participated in its organization ; a Regent 
of the Smithsonian Institution ; and ever the valued associate of leading men to whom are com- 
mitted questions in regard to matters of public utility. His advice was eagerly sought in the 
determination of many local and general facilities to further the interests of commerce and 
navigation. 
" That the deceased Superintendent had become illustrious in America and in Europe is due to 
the steady devotion of his great talents to the service of the people. 
" His genial disposition attracted the love of associates and of subordinates ; his wisdom 
commanded their respect. He leaves us a name of unsullied purity, and a memory that adds 
lustre to the many public records upon which it is borne. 
" As a tribute to his memory, the Coast Survey Office will be draped in black, and will be 
closed on the day of the funeral.

* General Hitchcock, who passed over the battle-ground, Feb. 22, 1836, reports : " Along the 
north and west faces of the triangular breastwork formed by felled trees, were about thirty 
bodies, mere skeletons, although much of the clothing was left upon them. They were lying, 
almost every one of them, in precisely the position they must have occupied during the fight 
their heads next to the logs over which they delivered their Are, and their bodies stretched 
with striking regularity, parallel to each other. They had evidently been shot dead at their 
posts, and the Indians had not disturbed them, except by taking the scalps of most of them. 
* * * * The advance guard, doubtless, fell during the first attack. It was during a cessa- 
tion of fire that the little band still remaining-about thirty in number-threw up the triangular 
breastwork, which, from the haste with which it was constructed, was necessarily defeotive 
and could not protect the men on the second attack. 
The action lasted from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. The United States troops amounted to one hundred 
and eight, and the savage foe to eight hundred Seminole Indians, and one hundred negroes. 
While a man could load a musket the firing was continued. When all the officers, except Lieut. 
Basinger, had fallen, he said : " Now, my boys, let us do the best we can : I am the only officer 
left," upon which the firing recommenced. About half-past two o'clock be was brought down 
by a rifle-shot in the thighs, and he was afterwards cruelly massacred by a negro. 
A beautiful monument, of white Italian marble was erected at West Point, to "Dade and his

* General Hitchcock, who passed over the battle-ground, Feb. 22, 1836, reports : " Along the 
north and west faces of the triangular breastwork formed by felled trees, were about thirty 
bodies, mere skeletons, although much of the clothing was left upon them. They were lying, 
almost every one of them, in precisely the position they must have occupied during the fight- 
their heads next to the logs over which they had delivered their fire, and their bodies stretched 
with striking regularity, parallel to each other. They had evidently been shot dead at their 
posts, and the Indians h id not disturbed them, except by taking the scalps of most of them. 
* * * * The advance guard, doubtless, fell during the first attack. It was during a cessa- 
tion of fire that the little band still remaining-about thirty in number-threw up the triangular 
breastwork, which, from the haste with which it was constructed, was necessarily defective 
and could not protect the men on the second attack.' 
The action lasted from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. The United States troops amounted to one hundred 
and eight, and the savage foe to eight hundred Seminole Indians, and one hundred negroes. 
Lieut. Mudge fell on the first fire.

Killed,* Dec. 28, 1835: Aged 24. 
* General Hitchcock, who passed over the battle-ground, Feb. 22, 1836, reports : " Along the 
north and west laces of the triangular breastwork formed by felled trees, were about thirty 
bodies, mere skeletons, although much of the clothing was left upon them. They were lying, 
almost every one. of them,in precisely the position they must have occupied during the fight- 
their heads next to the logs over which they had delivered their fire, and their bodies stretched 
with striking regularity, parallel to each other. They had evidently been shot dead at their 
posts, and the Indians had not disturbed them, except by taking the scalps of most of them. 
* * * * The advance guard, doubtless, fell during the first attack. It was during a cessa- 
tion of fire that the little band still remaining-about thirty in number-threw up the triangular 
breastwork, which, from the haste with which it was constructed, was necessarily defective 
and could not protect the men on the second attack.'' 
The action lasted from 8 a. m. to 4 P. m. The United States troops amounted to one hundred 
and eight, and the savage foe to eight hundred Seminole Indians, and one hundred negroes. 
Lieut. Henderson fell, and Lieut. Keais was disabled by having his arms broken on the first fire. 
The latter " got one of the men to tie both arms with a handkerchief, and was placed against 
a tree, where he was tomahawked by the negroes." 
A beautiful monument, of white Italian marble, was erected at West Point, to "Dade and his
