Title
Charges Against Captain Eaton, Etc.
Description
Gaither observes that the soldiers are healthy and living in peace and friendship with their Indian neighbors but that is not true of the officers' relations with each other. He wants a copy of the ordnance and public stores shipped to the frontier for the use of the troops in the care of Captain Eaton who is on trial as a result of charges against him by another officer.
