About This Item
In March 1899, John C.W. Brooks, an army officer who had been serving in the west, was ordered to report for examination for promotion at Governor's Island, New York City. He passed the exam, and later that year he was promoted to captain.
Document signed, with an engraved eagle, Washington, December 26, 1899, promoting Brooks to captain. A few years later Brooks took a position on the faculty of the Department of Military Science and Tactics at Carnegie Mellon University. He also founded the ROTC program at that university. An interesting juxtaposition between the army and academia.
