Okey gents, try this one...
In April 1861 Captain Samuel D. Strugis, commander of a Federal garrison at Fort Smith, Arkansas evacuated this place and headed for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. When Strugis left, he was short one man, his erstwhile second-in-command who tendered his resignation and headed to join the Confederate army. This officer ultimately became a general and was killed in one of the main ACW battles.
Q: What was the name of this officer?
Hint: It was not Maxcy Gregg :laugh:
