Re: Court Martial Records of Proceedings

I've also reviewed thousands of Confederate service records, almost all dealing with Arkansas and Louisiana soldiers, and have found only one complete transcript of a court-martial in a man's service record -- the case of Lieut. Col. Batt Jones, commanding 8th Battalion Arkansas Infantry. In all other cases, if a man was court-martialed, the documentation ranges from an entry on a muster roll to a summary of the judgment; but these latter documents are fairly rare. In official correspondence from the period, I see references to the Office of the Adjutant-General, Richmond, as the repository for court-martial proceedings.
