Bvt. Brig. Gen. D. C. MCCALLUM,
General Manager U. S. Military Railroads:
GENERAL: As general superintendent of military railroads, Divis-
ion of the Tennessee, I have the honor to submit the following
report:
I succeeded Maj. E. L. Wentz as general superintendent military
railroads, Military Division of the Mississippi in May, 1865. He
succeeded A. Anderson in the same position in November, 1864; so
that I am the third general superintendent who has had charge of
operations in this department during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1865. Not having access to all the annals of my predecessors in
office, I shall find it almost impossible to make a report as minute and
complete as is desirable.
