• Brevet Brigadier General James M.
  Brevet Brigadier General James M. Ruggles 1st & 3rd Illinois Cavalry Civil War Archive 69 letters and documents; 1 diary; 2 presidential appointments; Veteran's hat; 2 shoulder straps; and coin purse with 19 coins. 1855-1900. An early and well-connected activist in the antebellum Republican Party and a strong supporter of Abraham Lincoln James Ruggles was born in Mansfield Ohio in 1818. Seeking a place in life he apprenticed as a printer and moved to Ogle County Illinois at 19 but went on to study law before finally settling into business in Bath Ill. An antislavery man from early on Ruggles was intensely interested in politics. An admirer of Daniel Webster and an ardent anti-Democrat he was elected to the state senate in 1852 and became a friend and supporter of Lincoln in the elections of 1856 through 1860. With the Civil War erupting he volunteered for service in July 1861 and after some wrangling secured a commission as Major in the 3rd Illinois Cavalry. His distinguished service under arduous conditions at Pea Ridge earned him a promotion to Lt. Col. after which he distinguished himself at Haines Bluff Arkansas Post and the siege of Vicksburg. After mustering out of the service at the expiration of his enlistment on Sept. 5 1864 he was brevetted Brig. Gen. for faithful and meritorious services. The Ruggles collection contains both pre-war political letters and war-time documents providing glimpses into Ruggles' world of power and influence the earliest days of the Republican Party and Ruggles??T relationship with Lincoln and Governor Richard Yates of Illinois. On Jan. 9 1860 for example Yates then a potential candidate for governor wrote Ruggles about whether he should run for office: The opinion is entertained by some friends of mine that I would run better in the center & south and as well in the north as any candidate yet named -- I confess that I feel conscious of some strength once before the people and have rather concluded to be a candidate before the convention unless advised differently by some friends... There is a second ALS from Yates dated Sept. 16 1855; and a printed flier issued under Yates??T name To the Voters of Morgan County May 31 1855 clarifying where he stands on temperance legislation (he was soberly in favor). In these early days the Party faithful were filled with optimism. As the election of 1856 approached William Kellogg (soon to be congressman) advised Ruggles on no count [to] connect yourself with the Filmore movement there is death it in to any man who espouses that faction at this juncture... but added: The Democracy are getting up Filmore Meeting as a last hope. We shall rout them all the true old Whigs will come back and the Pro-Slavery men will go to Buchanan. The Republican State Central Committee sounded almost millenarian: The day for the battle of freedom and freemen is close at hand and if the friends of Lincoln work until the night of the day of the election a triumph is sure and certain. An unscrupulous party is attempting by its imported hordes of traveling voting machines ?to subdue? and over-ride the fair expression of the legal voters of this state... Much more on illegal non-resident voters trying to sway the vote in the state (the letter is fragile separated at the folds and worn but a highly important relic of early Republican Party history). Rounding out the political content are two rare election tickets for the Republican slate headed by Gen. John A. Logan. Ruggles' war-time service is represented by eight fine letters that give a sense of then range of conflicting issues and emotions Ruggles was forced to confront. The earliest is a letter written after the first Battle of Bull Run describing the heroism of the famous 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment: C. Hazlett wrote to Col. James Raguet to inform him that Samuel Raguet had been wounded by buckshot and had been operated on. Saml stood it manfully he is doing very well the shot entered the right side of his neck about 3/4 of an inch below the ear passing by the Jaw Bone without injuring it on around until it struck the bone in the back part of the neck. It made a very deep and severe-looking wound.... We have quite a number of patriotic northern Ladies who have come here as nurses. They are very kind... Saml. walked nearly the whole distance from the Battle to this city [Washington]... he was wounded in the second fire of the Traitors bur remained on the field and fought manfully all day. His sword was broken in the first of the fight. He has a sword that he took from a ?Secesh? cavalry man he held his revolver toward the above named Traitor and he fell Saml. having relieved him of the trouble of doing any more damage... I was on the ground during the whole of the Battle on the look out for my friends... Saml wishes you to tell Wm Wolf that Eugene Wilmer was shot through the head dead on the first fire.... It should not be surprising to find that Ruggles remained a political animal while under arms and the collection includes a fascinating letter from July 1 1862 rallying Ruggles??T support to get Illinois soldiers to defeat Democratic-inspired proposed changes to the Illinois constitution. Other war-date items include three superior letters from Henry G. Thomas an ambitious young officer (apparently a Brevet Colonel) looking to use family influence to advance in the army a printed copy of War Dept. General Order 126 Sept. 6 1862 specifying the composition of regiments in each line of service; half a dozen documents; an undated manuscript signed Maj. John Campbell regarding drafting men; a printed letter of transmittal accompanying Ruggles' Brevet to Brig. General Oct. 6 1866; and an interesting a manuscript circular Jan. 3 1862 declaring Pickets are not to go into houses nor tell Secessionists exactly where they are stationed where they are moved &c. and that they are not to be so careless as to allow persons to ride in among them before they know it... and much more to be learned by green recruits. Of special note are two Confederate items and two relating to some spectacularly poor discipline in the 3rd Illinois Cavalry almost amounting to mutiny. The Confederate pieces include a very rare manuscript oath of allegiance issued for a soldier from Nathan Bedford Forrest??Ts cavalry datelined La Grange Tenn. and reading in part I George H. Bennett a citizen of Fayette Co. Tenn. and conscript soldier of Forrest??Ts command having returned to my home where I wish to remain and take no farther part in the Rebellion... (marked duplicate at bottom left of document). Joining this is a particularly handsome and large printed Confederate States Loan certificate for $1 000 (very good condition and finely printed) issued Aug. 20 1862 slated to come due in July 1874. No warranties are made for exchange. The Ruggles' command was no Shangri-la appears in four documents beginning with a manuscript transcript of charges and specifications leveled against officers in the 3rd. The first a 7pp cites Captain Charles Dunbaugh for cowardice among many other things. The incidents detailed include Dunbaugh running away to the rear of the Battalion after a picket was fired upon leaving shamefully abandoning his post as commander of the company to which he did not return until some time after firing commenced); breaking down in tears when separated from his son and cried and bellowed shamefully saying ?My Georgy is lost ? ??" ?we are I an enemy??Ts country? ??" ?it will kill his mother?...; and shameful behavior at the Battle of Pea Ridge where he was so much under the influence of fear from the fire of the enemy that he repeatedly called upon the commander of the Battalion to move the command out of the range of the enemy??Ts guns... The charges go on to include malingering with an allegedly injured foot neglect of duty conspiracy and disrespect against his superiors drunkenness conduct unbecoming (falsely reporting himself wounded visiting a house of ill fame occupied by degraded and abandoned prostitutes repeatedly) and more. As might be expected the list of witnesses to the charges is nearly a page long (and a long page at that). As if that were not enough paired with Dunbaugh??Ts charges are charges against Capt. James Nichols for violating military orders and discipline leaving his command without authority in Nov. 1861 going AWOL insubordination conspiring with Dunbaugh to undercut Ruggles??T authority and conduct unbecoming an officer. Perhaps as evidence the collection also includes a fascinating letter written to send to Gen. Siegel but apparently not sent relating to an expedition under Dunbaugh that tore down a secession flag at a court house near Springfield Mo. that was appropriated by the Major in charge and not returned to the men who took it down. More ill discipline is documented in a letter from Col. L.F. McCrillis Jan. 30 1863 citing Capt. R.H. Carnahan for disrespectful and insolent language used while attempting to tender his resignation for want of confidence in his Colonel and Lt. Colonel and then corruptly and feloniously abstracting the paper from its proper place and requesting his dismissal from the service. Notably the dockets on the verso include signatures of Gen. John A. McClernand and U.S. Grant. Finally among the gems in the collection is a noteworthy closely-written 7pp detailed Historical Memoranda of the 3d Ills. Cav. Vols. possibly written by Capt. A.B. Kirkbride of the regiment in about 1864 describing the regiment's formation and service its battle record but also the controversies over its officers and political machinations. It ends Notwithstanding these efforts to break up and destroy the Regiment by intermeddling and malicious officers the remaining 83 men of the 3d Ill. Cavalry are as brave patriotic and well-disciplined men as are in the service and will again make their marks upon the enemy when opportunity affords. The lot also includes the following: 1860 newspaper clipping outlining delegates that attended the Republican Convention in Illinois making reference to J.M. Ruggles a Secretary at the Convention; two Presidential Appointments for Ruggles both for the rank of Colonel by Brevet one dated 3 July 1866 the other dated 3 August 1866. Each with Andrew Jackson??Ts stamped signature; Society of the Army of the Tennessee certificate recognizing Brvt. Brig. Genl. J.M. Ruggles as a member dated 15 October 1874 signed by President W. T. Sherman; Civil War veteran??Ts hat with braided cord with acorn drop and wreath and star insignia; Colonel??Ts and Lieutenant Colonel??Ts shoulder straps; and small coin purse containing 19 19th and early 20th century coins. With its balance of pre-war politics and wartime dramatics the Ruggles collection offers a marvelous opportunity for research into the personalities and events of a critical period in American history centered on an individual in the inner circles of power. Condition: Good condition throughout with expected signs of wear and age.
