THE RANK OF GENERAL.

Only Three American Soldiers
Have Held 1t. s..
The following communication was
received some days ago from a reader
Of this paper: :, =,
Will you be kind enough to tell me
what officers Of the army Of the United
States held the rank of general and
what ones that Of lieutenant general?
This question is often asked of the
newspapers, and it is seldom answered
correctly. In order to get official in
formation we sent letter OF inquiry
to the war department and received
the following reply: . III,
Sfr-Replying to your letter of the
10th inst. beg to say that the only
officers Of the American army who
ever held the full rank Of general
were Grant, Sherman and Sheridan
These also held the full rank of lieu
tenant general previous to their ap-
pointments to the grade of general.
Gen. Washington was commissioned
lieutenant general July 4, 1885, but
he was never appointed to the full
rank of general under the authority
conferred by the act of March 3. 1899.
Gen. Scott was commissioned brevet
lieutenant general March Z, 1855, but
he never held the full rank of lieu
tenant general. Very respectfully,
GEORGE D. BUGGLES. "
Assistant Adjutant General
The World Almanac gives Washing
ton the rank of general. Other
books of reference that we have seen
do the same. The popular Impression
certainly is that Washington held the
rank Of general and that Scott was a
lieutenant general; but the letter from
