Dixon Miles was spared another court of inquiry and probable cashiering by a burst fired after he agreed to surrender Harpers Ferry. Not much to recommend in this fellow personally or in his martial skills. ” Shanks ” Evans comes to mind as one who might have given Miles some pointers as to blending maintenance drinking and military endeavors. methinks Evans would have offered a better defense of Harpers Ferry, although he had problems with Hood and a couple of others along the way. the officers detailed for the court are interesting… all prominent.

The very same Miles who featured in the Harpers Ferry debacle during the Antietam campaign, where I recall a vague allegation of possible drunkeness as well. Very interesting, thanks.
