Hi all,
In my research into the arrest of McClernand, I have been unable to locate the Army of the Tennessee General Order which places the War Departments' General Order 67 of 1861 into effect.
The said general order requires that the "General in command" approve any item being sent to the press, and failure to do so is an offense under the 57th article-of-war. This was the pretext for McClernand's arrest.
I am interested in exactly what procedures were created by the Army of the Tennessee, as Grant's wording implies he only needed to be informed rather than explicitly approve the publication.
Does anyone know if there are compilations of the AoT's GO's etc.?
