Colonel Slemons was court-martialed per General Orders No. 47, Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana, March 4, 1863. I don't know the details -- I've always intended to look further into the issue, but just haven't had time. If anyone has access to the general orders of that particular department and would like to post the details, it would be greatly appreciated.

I've read that Slemons was a pretty strict disciplinarian, but seems to have been respected by his men. His regiment had a good reputation.
