Every Yankee knew that Grant's star was rapidly rising. It also was widely known within Generals Circles that Grant and Sherman, both at Knoxville during this time, had earlier promoted the "Get Tought" policy on Rebel soldiers wearing Federal clothing, partciularly Yankee overcoats.

I have a copy of trial from The National Archives. It was 28 Dec 1863. He defended himself and was found "innocent of all charges"! At some point after the trial, General Foster, the Union officer in command, had the verdict overturned. It was said that W.G. Brownlow (Parson) was heavily responsible for this.
