Excerpt from Report of the Operations of Maj.-Gen. Fremont: While in Command of the Mountain Department, During the Spring and Summer of 1862
Sir: I have had the honor to receive your communication of the 4th ultimo, requesting a report of operations in the Mountain Department, during the period of my command, in 1862.
Unavoidable engagements have interfered to prevent an earlier compliance with your request; and having been specially ordered, shortly after I was relieved, to turn over to my successor all books, records, and documents, pertaining to the Department, I am also without the data necessary to complete and full statements.
Under the order of the President, bearing date March 11, I proceeded to the designated Headquarters of my Department, Wheeling, Va., relieving Brigadier-General Rosecrans, and assuming command March 29, 1862.
The disposition and numbers of troops, upon my arrival within the Department, were reported to me as follows:
Within the District of the Cumberland, comprising all east of the Alleghanies and west of the Department of the Potomac - three regiments of infantry and one company of cavalry. The district commanded by Brigadier-General R. C. Schenck.
