TWIGGS, DAVID E.
(1790 - 1862) Confederate major general who turned over his Federal forces to Ben McCulloch at the start of the war, and was later given command of the District of Louisiana. War-date partly-printed D.S. "D. E. Twiggs" adding rank, on CSA Officers' Pay Account form, 1p. oblong 4to., [n. p.], May 30, 1862, dispensing pay for the second quarter of 1862 and showing that two months had yielded Twiggs $302.00 plus a bonus of $90.00 for fifty years active service. Very good.
