Edward McGarry

Was Edward McGarry (soldier-politician) in command of the District of California? This September 2, 1865 issue of the Army and Navy Journal^[1] says

"Colonel EDWARD MCGARRY, Second California cavalry succeeds Brigadier General WRIGHT, in command of the District California. The Sub District of Nevada constitutes the District of Nevada, under the command Lieutenant Colonel MCDERMOT, Second California cavalry"

However, Eicher^[2] lists only

"George Wright, October 1861 - June 27, 1865"

The article discusses the June 1865 reorg and refers to ^[3]

^ "The Military Situation". The United States Army and Navy Journal and Gazette of the Regular and Volunteer Forces. 3. New York: Army and Navy Journal: 18. September 2, 1865.
^ David J. Eicher, Civil War High Commands, Stanford University Press, 2001, pg.822
^ "General Orders No. 118". Official Records of the War of the Rebellion, Series I. XLVI, part=3: 1298–1300. June 27, 1865.

Perhaps McGarry should be added as a commander? However, the September 1895 ref says "District of California," when the District had be renamed in June? Cxbrx (talk) 20:25, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
