Period printed order in good condition. Document runs four pages.

Order is titled “HEAD –QUARTERS, ARMY OF THE POTOMAC APRIL 25, 1864 – GENERAL COURT MARTIAL ORDERS NO. 12.”

The order elates the outcome of several cases involving officers and men from the following regiments:

119th Pennsylvania

81st Pennsylvania

1st Ohio Cavalry

140th New York

13th Pennsylvania Cavalry

All but one man were found guilty. The officers were sentenced to be cashiered or dismissed while the enlisted men were ordered to be shot. All but one of the death sentences were commuted to discharge or imprisonment.

At the end of a year the printed General Orders like these were usually bound and that was the case with this one. However, years later the books were broken up and the orders sold individually leaving several neat holes from where they were once sewn together.

Item is in good clean condition.  [ad] [ph:L]
