Disgrace at Gettysburg: The Arrest and Court Martial of Brigadier General Thomas A. Rowley
by John F Krumwiede
"The Battle of Gettysburg was a scene of roiling chaos... in the midst of this uproar that Brigadier General Thomas A. Rowley, U.S.A., was arrested for drunkenness and disobedience. But what really happened on that chaotic day, and how did it affect Rowley and those around him in the years to come? A military man for many years, Rowley had served during the Mexican War and had worked his way up from second lieutenant to colonel. When the fighting began at Fort Sumter, he immediately offered his services to the Union Army. This volume chronicles Rowley's life up to the July 1, 1863, battle that ended his military career, with particular attention to the events of that fateful day."

The central characters are members of the Rowley family of Huntingdonshire. Each chapter is based on original letters, documents and rare books."
