| dc.description.abstract | Letters of General Joseph R. Hawley to Charles Dudley Warner, The Hartford Daily Times, February 07, 1930. One of the tragedies of American military history was the Fitz John Porter case. Porter served throughout the Mexican war and made a brilliant record. For gallantry at Chapultepec and elsewhere he was promoted. In the Civil war he proved equally brave as a soldier and was on his way to a brilliant record, indeed had already made one. Then at the second battle of Bull Run, after he had been brevetted brigadier general for gallant work at the Chickahominy, he failed to move forward as ordered. He was court martialed for failure to obey General Pope, was deprived of his rank, dismissed from the army and forbidden ever to hold an office of trust under the United States. He spent the rest of his life in an endeavor to have this injustice, as he deemed it, undone, and, to a certain extent succeeded. | en_US |
