The headquarters of the military department to which I was assigned
when relieved from duty at New Orleans was at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, and on the 5th of September I started for that post. In due
time I reached St. Louis, and stopped there a day to accept an
ovation tendered in approval of the course I had pursued in the
Fifth Military District—a public demonstration apparently of the
most sincere and hearty character. From St. Louis to Leavenworth
took but one night, and the next day I technically complied with my
orders far enough to permit General Hancock to leave the
department, so that he might go immediately to New Orleans if he so
desired, but on account of the yellow fever epidemic then
prevailing, he did not reach the city till late in November. My new
command was one of the four military departments that composed the
geographical division then commanded by Lieutenant-General Sherman.
This division had been formed in 1866, with a view to controlling
the Indians west of the Missouri River, they having become very
restless and troublesome because of the building of the Pacific
railroads through their hunting-grounds, and the encroachments of
pioneers, who began settling in middle and western Kansas and
eastern Colorado immediately after the war.
