Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard letter to Senator John Slidell
Manuscripts
Contemporary copy of a letter sent from G.T. Beauregard of the Engineering Corps to Louisiana senator (and Beauregard's future brother-in-law) John Slidell. In the letter Beauregard outlines what he believes to be strategic mistakes in General Scott's planned assault on Utah Mormons with a corps from California. Beauregard analyzes the proposed military strategy at length, as well as offering his suggestions with a variety of historical examples. Later segments of the letter thoroughly express Beauregard's outrage with what he perceives as the economic and political favors granted to the Northern states at the expense of the South. He closes with recommendations for future officer positions under a possible Army expansion, and specifically mentions G.W. Smith, George B. McClellan, and J.K. Duncan. Beauregard writes that he himself would like to be appointed colonel of a regiment, preferably the Zouaves.
