GDG- Major General Rowley

[Anthony W. Christ]

Hey, I guess there was a court martial. Check this link for the book
"Disgrace at Gettysburg, The Arrest and Court-Martial of Brigadier General
Thomas A. Rowley, USA"
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3905/is_200609/ai_n17194084

Amazon has the book for $35.00 with free super saver shipping! I'll have to
put this on my Christmas list.

I heard the General was drunk during the battle and was court martialed.
  Any sources other then Sears Gettysburg? Were their excerpts from the
proceedings.
  Did he have previous bouts a la Grant with the spirits?
  It amazes me that a Major General could on the eve of Battle be so
irresponsible.
  Poor General Birney who had to suck it up as if Rowley was effectively as
shot as John Reynolds!
