470 MO., ARK., KANS., IND. T., AND DEPT. N. W. [CxAP. xxXIV,
This report is a general summary of the operations of General Steele's
command, commencing with the organization of the expeditionary force
at Helena, and ending with the capture of Little Rock. As soon as Gen.
eral Steele's more detailed report shall be received, I will forward it, with
such recommendations as individual merit and services shall seem to
have justified.
General Steele's operations have been conducted with marked skill
and good judgment, and the importance of his success can hardly be
overestimated.
My troops at Fort Smith have already opened communication with
Little Rock. All Arkansas and the Indian country west of it are vir-
tually in our possession. Our troops are cordially welcomed by a large
proportion of the Arkansas people.
I am, colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. M. SCHOFIELD,
Major-General.
