Twiggs, David Emanuel 1790-1862
Military officer; born in Richmond county, Ga., in 1790; entered the United States military service as captain in the spring of 1812, and became major of infantry in 1814.
In 1836 he became colonel of dragoons, and as commander of a brigade he distinguished himself in the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca De La Palma (qq.
v.). He was made brigadier-general June 30, 1846, and was brevetted major-general for gallantry at Monterey (q. v.). Twiggs commanded a division in Scott's campaign in Mexico in 1847, and in 1848 he was made civil and military governor of Vera Cruz.
Early in 1861 he was in command of United States troops in Texas.
General Twiggs had served his country honorably in its armies for forty years, but the virus which corrupted so many noble characters did not spare him. He was a native of Georgia, and seems to have been under the complete control of the Confederate leaders.
He was placed in command of the Department of Texas only
