Description
The Crisis, an Ohio newspaper sympathetic to the Confederacy, published this editorial excoriating Major General Curtis for using his authority to confiscate and sell cotton. The editorial is followed by a transcript of Major General Steele's testimony before a military tribunal Curtis' alleged criminal activities in Arkansas. Rumors of abuse and corruption dogged many Union officers in cotton country, and Curtis flatly denied any wrongdoing.
