Major General Philip A. Sheridan, then in command of the Gulf District, refuses to overturn the court’s decision based upon his previous court martial.
Sheridan forwards the transcript to the Secretary of War who passed it on to President Andrew Johnson.
Guess how this one turns out? I am beginning to believe that Harry might have what we today call PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) or he simply has a REAL alcohol problem.

I'm a Civil War buff, so I've actually heard of Henry Clay Robinette. He's a shadowy figure in the many ACW histories I've read, the bare bones of his service and tragic end mentioned almost in passing, so I'm fascinated by the information on him you've shared here. The Confederate gentlement, Mr. Lincoln, is entirely unknown to me. I look forward to learning about him as your research progresses.
