American military officer (1818–1898) who served in the Seminole, Mexican-American, and Civil Wars. His actions in the last were the source of much controversy, and he was ultimately relieved of command for his failure to pursue Bragg’s withdrawal following the Battle of Perryville in 1862. ALS signed “D. C. Buell,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.75 x 6.75, January 30, 1869. Letter to J. A. Campbell. In full: “I have received your letter informing me of my election to an honorary membership in the Society of the Army of the Ohio. The name is one which was borne at different periods during the war by two armies, distinct in organization, but composed in part of the same material. Among those individuals and regiments which have shared the glory of the second, I recognize many that won honorable distinction in the first. I may I am sure venture to say, that your Society will commemorate the deeds, and foster many of the personal attachments of both. I can, therefore, scarcely express to you my appreciation of an act in which I permit myself to recognize not only a graceful courtesy, but also the friendly remembrance of former companions in arms. I beg you to convey my thanks for it; and to feel assured that it will afford me pleasure, if I shall have it in my power, to avail myself of your invitation to be present at some of your future reunions.” Single vertical and horizontal folds, uniform toning with a heavier spot to the upper left, and an area of paper loss to the upper left corner of the second integral page, slightly affecting the text, otherwise fine condition. Buell led the first Army of the Ohio to reinforce Grant’s troops at Shiloh in 1862, ultimately beating back the Confederates and winning the battle—a victory which he took credit for. A letter with great war content and implications.
