Who am I ? BG Daniel Ruggles. His finest hour came on April 6, 1862 at Shiloh when he amassed a line of 62 guns opposite The Hornet's Nest and proceeded to blast it to pieces. The *hint* refers to General Ruggles' son Mortimer (Born December 11, 1844 at Fort Wilkins, Kenweenaw County, Michigan). Mortimer came across Booth on the banks of the Rappahannock on the night of April 14, 1865. He (accompanied by a cousin and a friend) assisted Booth in crossing the river and getting to the town of Port Royal, Virginia.
