A competent Union General who got on badly with Phil Sheridan, who fired him in the very last days of the war at Appomattox.

The act was controversial, as it gave Warren a dishonourable discharge, which was not overturned till many years after the war.

The charge against Warren was that he had failed to bring reinforcements to Sheridan as quickly as he should have done. The court eventually ruled that Warren was having to follow confusing orders, had to cross difficult terrain at night, and that very little blame attached to him.

Reading Sheridan's memoirs, between the lines, we can detect that it was very much a personal feud between the two officers.
