This is found in its full composition, in Series 1--Volume XVI [16]--Part 1--Reports; of the Official Records. It was published in 1886, and I found it to be such an important event that I kept the original hardcopy. It begins on page 5 with an introduction by Major-General Henry Halleck written in Washington, on November 25, 1862, shortly after the disastrous Perryville Campaign. The actual transcript of the trial opens on page 67. and runs through to page 726, and therefore I may assume very few have covered its entirety. I have not!!
Many questions are called into line before and after the Commission, such as the legality of the Court of Inquiry, whether it was a Courts'-Martial and finally upon a decision, which had not been made as late as 1872. I have not read the full body of evidence (pages 67-726) but I have spent time browsing through many of the witnesses that were called for testimony. I also covered the full mass of information concerning the trial itself, and desired to share a few thoughts of my belief in its importance to the high command. Due to length, I will subdivide this into a few parts, applying the principle of @Pat Young with the Books and Reviews Forum.
Thank you.
