Index. The dust jacket has some wear, soiling and an edge tear at back. The Mutiny at Brandy Station presents, in microcosm, the c…haracter and actions of men who served the United States Army of the Potomac in 1864. The story follows key players through the reorganization, the courts martial, and into the Wilderness using quotes from their diaries, memoirs, and reports as well as original trial transcripts. Foreword by Clark B. Hall. Fred Arner was educated at the George Washington Law School and the Harvard Law School. He served as a tail gunner in a B-29 during World War II and as a chief gunner on a B-36 in the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War. He worked for the Congressional Research Service and as a Congressional Committee staff member for more than thirty years and is the author of a book and several articles on these subjects. The setting is Brandy Station, Virginia, ten months after the greatest cavalry battle of the war had played out across its fields and now headquarters for Maj. Gen. George Meade's Army of the Potomac. Gen. Meade reorganized the army in March 1864 and in the shuffle broke up the venerable Hooker Brigade, in existence since late summer of 1861. In an effort to keep the brigade together for a few more months, until the three-year enlistments of its veterans would expire, the junior officers protested the order. Five of the so-called ring leaders were charged with mutiny and other offenses and court martialed. Four of the five were from the 11th Massachusetts, a unit that wore the white diamond insignia of the Hooker Brigade with unbounding pride and honor. The story follows the key players through the reorganization, the courts martial, and into the Wilderness.
