By the order of march, Hardee and Polk were to follow the Ridge and to assemble his corps at Monterey and march one division (Withers's) direct to Mickie's by the Savannah road, while the other (Ruggles's) was to be taken to the same point by following the Purdy roadd 10 A.

cal Society Papers: Sir,--In the February number of your journal is an article by General Ruggles, purporting to be a reply to one by myself, upon the march to Shiloh. Instead of being a mere reply, however, it contains a good deal of irrelevant matter, an excuse for which it is difficult to find. One is offered though, whichrom Mumford, he uses to prove that the troops in his front were Clark's. Anderson says, when he took his place in column, at 3 P. M., marching in the direction of Shiloh, he found the road blocked with brigades, wagons and artillery, almost up to the point where his line was to be formed; yet he passed them in an hour, getting to ed success. No one for a moment supposes that General Ruggles's troops did other than obey his orders. It was my good fortune to see those troops, not only at Shiloh, with General Ruggles, but also at Mumfordsville, Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Resaca, New Hope Church, Kenesaw, around Atlanta, at Franklin, Nashville

This Ridge or Bark road was crossed nearfollowing the Purdy road to the crossing of the Bark road, thence taking the latter in rear of Hardele, while Polk's one division (Clark's), on the Bark road in Ruggles's rear, was to halt at Mickie'sn the morning of the 5th. The first was on the Bark road, east of Mickie's; the second on the same sibly a short distance east of Mickie's, on the Bark road, between Hardee and Polk. Again, where wair order of march, that is, behind Polk, on the Bark road. (Page 58.) But the General somewhat invalmay assume that when my division filed into the Bark road, its advance was obstructed by a division al's would seem to imply that he was not on the Bark road behind Polk, but rather, as we have always belonging to himself (Ruggles), that is on the Bark road, east of Mickie's, directly in Withers's r[1 more...]

roach is cast upon his troops. This cannot be admitted. The rule, I believe, is, that the commander is responsible for his troops, not the troops for the commander. A good many General officers have tried to reverse it, but I cannot recall that their efforts met with marked success. No one for a moment supposes that General Ruggles's troops did other than obey his orders. It was my good fortune to see those troops, not only at Shiloh, with General Ruggles, but also at Mumfordsville, Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Resaca, New Hope Church, Kenesaw, around Atlanta, at Franklin, Nashville and Spanish Fort, without General Ruggles. I never heard that they disobeyed an order or failed in a duty.
