Notes
a Although Geddes’s actual rank was captain, his brevet rank was major. A brevet title is a form of commendation for merit, the brevet title being higher than the ranking for which the officer is paid. As a courtesy, officers are often addressed or referred to by their brevet titles. Geddes, like many officers in the frontier army, held a brevet rank for Civil War exploits.
b The date of Sherman’s letter, December 9, suggests that Sherman may well have had in mind the Geddes case, in which he had taken a s
trong personal interest. The President was the final reviewing authority for a court-martial, and President Hayes’s decision on the Geddes trial was dated December 3.
c A plea in bar is a request to dismiss the case.
d The Judge Advocate General is the final reviewer of a court-martial in the Army’s judicial system. His recommendation is forwarded to the President.
e She actually survived another four years, dying in 1860.
f This may initially have been part of a strategy that Lady Byron adopted at the suggestion of her divorce lawyer. But it seems that over the years Lady Byron’s continuing preoccupation with her former husband included maintaining good relations with Augusta and her family.
g Byron had died in 1824. Medora died in 1849, Augusta in 1851, and Lady Byron in 1860.
h In this famous clash, known as the Battle of Beecher’s Island, Major George A. Forsyth and a group of fifty experienced plainsmen held off six or seven hundred Sioux and Cheyenne for a week until Captain Carpenter and his soldiers arrived.
i His wife, who is not named in the army report, was Florence Towers. However, Geddes gave the date of his marriage as October of 1868 in his trial testimony.
j John Bigelow, Sr., had handled much of the delicate negotiation with the French over their position in Mexico.
k President James Monroe’s address of 1823 warned European powers that the United States would view with hostility any attempt to colonize in the Americas.
l These two counties are slightly to the west of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
m Army doctors were either surgeons, receiving the pay and emoluments of cavalry majors, or assistant surgeons, receiving during their first five years of service the pay and emoluments of first lieutenants in the cavalry, after which they were promoted to the rank of captain. See Appendix A for a list of commissioned officer ranks.
n Fortification wasn’t necessary because any approach created a noticeable cloud of dust.
o These units, created after the Civil War, were the Ninth and Tenth Regiments of Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Regiments of Infantry.
p It may be significant that in the post medical record book all the pages for 1872 have been ripped out.
q “Stables” is the term for both morning and afternoon care of horses in a cavalry regiment. The trial refers to afternoon Stables, beginning around 3:30.
