Vickers at DMA

Came across some interesting information today. In Buxton's book on PMC he quite a Judge Grubb another DMA graduate:

"In the military department I was second in command of the cadets while David Vickers of Camden, N. J., a man of fine military figure, was first in command. Vickers, who was a brother-in-law of General Kilpatrick the famous Union cavalry leader, went through our Civil war, and afterwards was retired with the rank of brigadier general."

It also turns out that Robinett was the cadet sergeant Major that year as well. They just had to be good friends, I am supposing!

I am off to the Society for Military Conference at VMI this Thursday, maybe I will get a chance to poke around their archives a bit!

Keep history Alive.
