Book First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. New York, NY: Hill and Wang. 2000. Hard Cover. 0809073978 . In April 1879, on a remote military base in west Texas, a decorated Army officer of dubious moral reputation faced a court-martial. Captain Andrew Geddes had spoken out about an "unspeakable" act he had accused a fellow officer, Louis Orleman, of incest with his teenage daughter Lillie. Yet it was Geddes the Army charged with "conduct unbecoming a gentleman, " for his accusation had come about because Orleman was preparing to charge Geddes with attempting to seduce and abduct the same young lady. Which man was the villain and which the savior? "In this insightful examination of a nineteenth-century court-martial, Louise Barnett presents evidence that upholding patriarchal values was more important than protecting women and children in the frontier army an ironic commentary on an officer corps that prided itself on its chivalrous conduct. "-Shirley A. Leckie Near fine with light foxing and dust soiling top page edges in fine jacket. See photos clph.

First Edition
Hardcover first edition - First printing. An account of an 1879 Texas courtmartial, in which Captain Andrew Geddes was tried and convicted for accusing a fellow officer of committing incest - "Captain Andrew J. Geddes, whose trial lasted for the extraordinarily long period of three months, an exception was made. Geddes was tried for 'conduct unbecoming,' but in the space where specifications were usually listed in the printed record appeared the phrase 'not fit to be specified.' What abhorrent crime had Geddes committed? What deed so horrifying that the Army's official record could not mention it? In the answer lies the true irony of this case. Geddes had accused a fellow officer, Lieutenant Louis H. Orleman, of an unspeakable offense but instead of investigating Orleman, the Army tried Geddes for speaking of Orleman's alleged crime." Illustrated with photographs, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. 287 pp. Fine in a fine dust jacket (as new.).
