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 . . .
