in New York, IN speaking Of General
John c. Caldwell, of Topeka says:
General Caldwell succeeded General
Hancock in command of the Red Trefoil
division of "Hancock's cavalry" Modest,
unassuming, brave, intensely loyal, he
was greatly liked by his command, and

engineer, and domestic in taste.

battle.
