Bixby Quits to Make Way for Lifelong Friend Roswell
In 1878 two West Point classmates rose together in the engineer corps with William H. Bixby becoming chief and Col. Roswell set to succeed him as chief of engineers. Bixby retires while Roswell assumes the role on August 11, then turns 64 two months later, as both men were key in river and harbor improvements. The piece also notes Navy engineering debates, Newark ship sale, and Navy purchasing reforms.
