Excerpt from Personal Memoirs of Gen. W. T. Sherman, Vol. 2 of 2 Enable them to regain the influence they had lost; and, as a general reorganization of all the armies was then necessary, he directed me to keep in mind especially the claims of Generals Buell, mccook, and Crittenden, and endeavor to give them commands that would be as near their rank and dates of com mission as possible but I was to do nothing until I heard further from him on the subject, as he explained that he would have to consult the Secretary of War before making final orders. General Buell and his officers had been subjected to a long ordeal by a court of inquiry, touching their conduct of the campaign in Tennessee and Kentucky, that resulted in the battle of Perry ville, or Chaplin's Hills, October 8, 1862, and they had been substantially acquitted; and, as it was manifest that we were to have some hard fighting, we were anxious to bring into harmony every man and every officer of skill in the profession of arms. Of these, Generals Buell and mcclellan were prominent in rank, and also by reason of their fame acquired in Mexico, as well as in the earlier part of the civil war.
