Title: A Reply to the Review of Judge Advocate General Holt, of the Proceedings, Findings and Sentence, of the General Court Martial in the Case of Major General Fitz John Porter, and a Vindication of That Officer
Description: Baltimore, John Murphy & Co, 1863. Paperback. 8vo. Tan wrappers. 88pp. Very good. Outer wrappers a tad soiled and age toned, with several quite small edge chips, but overall tight and internally clean. High-profile attorney Johnson (1796-1876) defended General Fitz-John Porter (1822-1901) in his court martial trial after Second Manassas, and in this pamphlet contests the guilty verdict -- Johnson's rebuttal in turn provoked a counter-rebuttal, also published in 1863! First edition. SABIN 36276. .
