It recently came to my attention that three of Maj. Gen. Cadmus Wilcox's brigadiers (Scales, Thomas and McGowan) wanted Wilcox court-martialed for cowardice (!) during the summer of 1864, looks like before Second Reams Station. Letter, E. J. Hale to Lane, August 2, 1899. I'm grateful to Russ Edwards and Bryce Suderow for this information. I'll be looking into this further and will report on it as more light is shed. Please feel free to pass on any information you have about this to me at johnedwardhorn@gmail.com
