8 p., unopened. 28th Congress, 1st Session. Ho. of Reps. War Dept., Doc. No. 211. Major General Braxton Bragg, CSA, then a lieutenant, made the decision in 1844 to let congressmen know what he felt was wrong with the Army, especially its commander, Winfield Scott. For this act of poor judgement, he was court-martialed and punished. When, during the trial, he was allotted time to defend himself, he used the greater portion of it publicly insulting General Scott. These 8 pages contain copies of correspondence between army officials and Bragg during this episode. [Loc.:E 973.7]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002226
