146. DANIEL RUGGLES (1810 - 1897) Confederate brigadier general who led a corps at Shiloh, later serving under Bragg, Van Dorn, and Joseph E. Johnston. Fine content war-date D.S., 1p. 8vo., [Tupelo?], Jan. 31, 1863, a partly-printed telegram form bearing the text of a telegraph sent to Ruggles by one James M. Burton. It reads, in part: "...A Scout just in reports that a regiment of Federal cavalry came to Ripley...yesterday & still there late in the afternoon. No enemy north this side Tuscumbia creek...". At bottom Ruggles endorses the message: "Forwarded Daniel Ruggles Brig. General". Typical even toning, else very good. $250 - 350
