Excerpt from Letter From the Secretary of War: In Response to Senate Resolution of December 10, 1894, Transmitting the Report of the Board of Engineers and Bridge-Building Experts, With Other Information, Relative to the Subject of a Bridge Across the Hudson River at New York City Because Of the great Size of these cross girders and lower chords, and therefore the great excess of strength in this lower truss when the bridge is unloaded, the Board regard the pounds per linear foot of wind pressure on the loaded bridge as the one which throws the greatest strain upon its members, and therefore take this value as the one to be used in combination with the other loads upon a bridge of maximum length.

(Excerpt from The War of the Rebellion, Vol. 41: A Compila...)
Excerpt from The War of the Rebellion, Vol. 41: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies; In Four Parts; Part I., Reports The work of preparing the records of the war for public use was begun under the resolution of Congress of May 19, 1864, by Adjt. Gen. E. D. Townsend, U. S. Army, who caused copies to be made of reports of battles on file in his office and steps to be taken to col lect missing records. Under the provisions of joint resolution No. 91, of 1866, Hon.' Peter H. Watson was appointed to supervise the preparation and formulate a plan for the publication of the records, but he did no work and-drew no pay under this appointment, which expired July 27, 1868, by limitation of the resolution. This resolution also re pealed the former one and work ceased. The first decisive step taken in this work was the act of J nne 23, 1874, providing the necessary means to enable the Secretary of War to begin the publication of the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion, both of the Union and Confederate Armies, and directing him to have copied for the Public Printer all reports, letters, telegrams, and general orders, not heretofore copied or printed, and properly arranged in chronological order. Appropria tions have been made from time to time for continuing such prepa ration. Under this act the preliminary work was resumed by Gen eral Townsend, who first outlined the plan on which the records are printed, though it appears that originally he contemplated publish ing to the world only the more important military reports. Subsequently, under meager appropriations, it was prosecuted in a somewhat desultory manner by various subordinates of the War Department until December 14, 1877, when the Secretary of War, perceiving that the undertaking needed the undivided attention of a single head, detailed Lieut. Col. Robert N. Scott, U. S. Army, to take charge of the bureau and devote himself exclusively to the work.

(Excerpt from The War of the Rebellion, Vol. 2: A Compilat...)
Excerpt from The War of the Rebellion, Vol. 2: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies MY dear 813: On Friday night last ex-governor Charles S. More head, Reuben T. Durrett and M. W. Barr were arrested in and near this city, and I understand they have been taken to Fort Lafayette. I telegraphed you this morning in conjunction with two or three other gentlemen in relation to Mr. Durrett. Mr. Durrett has been and I pre sume still is a bitter personal enemy of mine but I am extremely aux ious for his release. He is a secessionist, but he has never done any harm in our community. He couldn't do any harm if he would. He is not without talent, but he has no influence, and his discharge could not be productive of the least possible injury to the Union cause. But the strongest reason why I wish his release is that his wife, a most estima ble woman, is on the very verge of delirium on his account. I do believe in my heart that if he be kept from her many days she will go utterly and hopelessly mad. Governor Morehead has been one of the dearest of my personal friends for nearly thirty years. I do not believe that his arrest was necessary or expedient. His feelings lately have been with the South, but I have heard him say twenty times and with great vehemence that he would give all he has in the world, life included, to restore the Union to what it was before the Southern States seceded. He has uniformly condemned secession, but has contended warmly for peace on the ground that war could never restore the Union, and unquestionably his feel ings have become a good deal excited against the Government. He has strongly condemned in two or three speeches, and probably in a pamphlet he is said to have been preparing, the suspension of the writ of ha-beas corpus and one or two other acts of the Government, but I have no idea that he had a thought of transcending the legitimate privileges of a citizen. I am sure that his detention in prison can do no good; I think his release may do some. I am assured by his family and friends that if released he would go immediately to the South, and certainly he would not take up arms, and he is very far from being in a condition to aid the rebels with money. I pray you release him unless you have proofs before you of his treason. I beseech you to release him if you can without the violation of a great duty. His imprison ment for any length of time in the present embarrassed condition of his affairs would be the ruin of his amiable and excellent family. Strongly as I am opposed to his recent course, I would rather give a portion of the brief remnant of my life than have his confinement protracted.

Daniel Scott Lamont was of Scotch-Irish descent, son of John B. and Elizabeth (Scott) Lamont, and was born in Cortland County, New York, on his father's farm.
He attended Union College, Schenectady, partly supporting himself, but failed to graduate with his class in 1872.
A job was found for him, first as engrossing clerk and then as assistant journal clerk, in the Capitol at Albany, where he attracted the attention of Samuel J. Tilden and John Bigelow, and became their protégé in the Democratic faction that was at war with Tammany. Tilden gave him a clerkship on the state central committee (1872), which he retained for many years; and from 1875 to 1882 he was chief clerk of the New York department of state.
Daniel Manning, who came to know him on the state central committee, employed him on the Albany Argus (1877 - 82), in which Lamont finally acquired a financial interest. When Cleveland was brought forward in 1882 by Manning, Lamont was assigned to him as political prompter, beginning a connection that was to last and grow more intimate through fifteen years.
He was private and military secretary with rank of colonel on the staff of the Governor in 1883; and he went to Washington as private secretary to the President in 1885. Here he raised his office to a new dignity and importance, acting as buffer for his chief, speeding business by direct reference to the departments, and serving to advance the aims of the President by devotion and forethought. The newspaper men jested of the necessity to "see Lamont" if action was to be secured; and this drew Lamont closer to Cleveland, who welcomed the connection. Lamont came to know intimately the secretary of the navy, William C. Whitney, who gave him a financial job after 1889 in connection with his own large ventures in the street-railway matters; and here Lamont began the construction of a family fortune.
In 1893 Cleveland recalled him as secretary of war, and Lamont reluctantly accepted the post, retaining it through the administration. He handled it effectively, without bringing it into political prominence. He noted correctly in his first year that "it may be assumed that Indian warfare is virtually at an end" (Annual Report, 1893, I, 5); he urged repeatedly and in vain the reorganization of the infantry on the basis of the regiment of three four-company battalions (Ibid. , 1896, I, 7); he directed the policing of Chicago during the Pullman strike.
In 1897 he went back willingly to private life, and although he was occasionally mentioned in connection with political posts, he passed the remainder of his life outside politics. He was now elected vice-president of the Northern Pacific Railway Company (1898 - 1904), coming into close and profitable contact with James J. Hill; and he acquired directorships in many other corporations and banks. He died at Millbrook, Dutchess County, New York, in 1905.
