I'm not sure I'm in the proper forum so please let me know if there is a better place to post this question.
I am trying to determine if an individual commander of a post seized just before the shooting war commenced would have been required to submit a report to his superiors detailing the capitulation of his post. Specifically, I am in search of a report by Brevet Major Joseph Haskin detailing his capitulation of the Baton Rouge Barracks and Arsenal in Jan 1861.
The ORs have some information, but a personal recounting by him or one of his subordinate officers could potentially clear up a lot of foggy details.
Thank you for any advice or assistance
