In May 1863 General Joseph Hooker convened a court martial to hear charges that General Revere had abandoned the field without cause at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Revere had moved his troops, without orders, about three miles to the rear, as they were short of ammunition and without rations. General Sickles relieved Revere of command for doing this. Dismissed from the service, Revere here defends his conduct and his honor; President Lincoln revoked his dismissal in 1864, and allowed Revere to resign. Dornbusch 2350. Sabin 70181. Not in Nevins.
