Letters From the People
WAS m.LEs A CoRps COMMANDERS

Editor Call 1t was stated in The
Call a few DAYS ago that General Miles
was among those veterans still living
who commanded an army corps during
the civil war. Is not this a mistake? !?
General Miles was a splendid soldier
and an uncommonly gallant and
capable officer. but | find no evidence
that hes ever commanded an army corps
unless it might have been for a few
hours. or possibly days, during the
temporary absence or disability of the
corps commander. During the closing
campaigns of the army in Virginia. up
to and including the surrender of Gem
eral Lee. he commanded the First di-
vision of the Second corps, then under
General Humphreys, who had sue
ceeded General Hancock November IS
preceding Was General Miles ever
appointed or assigned to the command
of an army corps during the civil war?
IL so when and to which corps?
