Remembering Brigadier General Daniel Ruggles, born January 31, 1810 in Barre, Massachusetts. A West Point graduate and veteran of the Seminole and Mexican–American Wars, Ruggles went on to serve as a division commander in the Confederate Army at the Battle of Shiloh, where he famously organized one of the largest artillery concentrations of the war. A complex figure of American military history, his legacy endures in stories of strategy and service. Happy Birthday to a notable Civil War general!
