General Fitz John Porter, cashiered for misbehavior before the enemy by a politically driven court-martial in 1863, following Second Manassas, undertook a decades-long fight to have his conviction reconsidered. Finally, a board headed by General John M. Schofield cleared Porter's good name. Records of the Schofield trial were rare until Anders made this fresh study of the case.

Recent scientific satellite photo-imaging technology confirms that the early miners only scratched the surface. This book tells the best way to find gold.
