On page 51 of Vol 20, No 3 issue of America's Civil War, David Palmer in an  
article entitled 'King of the Hill', states: "Greene took matters into his own 
 hands and told Geary that he was reinforcing the skirmishers. Lt. Col. Hiram 
 Rodgers from Slocum's command arrived with an order from Slocum as Geary was 
 about to have Greene arrested for disobeying orders."
 
Does anyone know a source for this 'arrest order' from Geary. I'm seen  Capt. 
Charles Horton letter in the Bachelder Papers telling about Lt. Col.  Rodgers 
ride, but can find no 1st hand account of Geary's action to arrest  Greene.
