Death of General John Hunt Morgan

BGen. John Echols promised an investigation into the death of Gen. Morgan at Greenville, Tenn. on the morning of September 4, 1864.
Does anyone know of his subsequent report? I have not been able to locate one.

George Martin

I will order a thorough investigation of the affair at Greeneville, in order to ascertain by whose neglect or misconduct the surprise occurred . . .
