assumed command of the country, was
full Of hostile Indians, who covered the
country west of the Missouri river from
the boundary line Of our possession on
the north to the LO Concho river in
Texas. But few settlements existed.
The construction of railroads in the
country had only just begun. Since
then the Indians have been 80 far sub
dued that in the territory formerly oc-
cupied by them alone town and cattle
interests have grown mp and railroads
have been built. In these great changes
the troops of she division have been
active and empowered agents. During
these many years IL has been my special
qualification that l have had no dis
agreement with any subordinates, and
that from the department. commander

been rendered to the Government.
With the assurance that shall always
remember the hardships suffered, battles
fought, results achieved and gallant
comrades who have lost their lives In her
warfares, resign the command that has
been to me pleasure as we'll as duty.
