John Wilson Ruckman (October 10, 1858 – June 6, 1921) was a general in the United States Army. ==Early life== Ruckman was born at Deers, Illinois, a flag-station just southeast of the University of Illinois. Biographies, however, usually list his place of birth as Sidney, Illinois (Champaign County). His parents, Thomas and Mary O'Brien Ruckman, were farmers. His uncles, John W. and Wilson Ruckman served the Union Army with distinction in the American Civil War (Company A, Illinois 35th Infantry).〔https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/seadams/www/35thcoa.html〕〔http://ehistory.osu.edu/uscw/features/regimental/illinois/union/35thIllinois/companya.cfm〕 After three semesters at the University of Illinois, Ruckman was appointed from the 14th Congressional District of Illinois for acceptance to the United States Military Academy. His nomination was made by Republican Congressman Joseph Cannon. Ruckman graduated from West Point (1883), the U.S. Artillery School (1892), the U.S. Army War College (1915), and the U.S. Naval War College (1916). He married May Hamilton, the daughter of Civil War hero Colonel John Hamilton, and was nominated Brigadier General by Woodrow Wilson in 1916 and Major General in 1917. At the time, Major General was the highest rank in the Army. Ruckman was the only individual to command three of the six designated interior military Departments in the United States (Northeast, Southeast and Southern).
