Oliver O. Howard, Eleventh Corps, Army of the Cumberland (reference)

Oliver O. Howard
Eleventh Corps, Army of the Cumberland
1863 Reference in Official Records

"Oliver O. Howard, Eleventh Corps, Army of the Cumberland" is referenced in an 1863 report. [Note: I don't know if this is before or after reorganization of troops. I thought that Oliver O. Howard was in charge of Eleventh Corps, Army of the Potomac, and that, once he was transferred to the Army of the Cumberland, he was put in charge of the IV Corps. This may be some in-between state of things, or could be a fluke of the officer writing the report.]

The reference is in:

Official Records, Series 1, Volume , Part 1, Reports, Report no. 50
"Itinerary of the Eleventh Army Corps (Army of the Cumberland), Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard, commanding." [The footnote says, "from Returns for November and December."]
