Where’s the Justice?

The story is told of a young Confederate soldier who committed an infraction of the Confederate Army’s rules and regulations.  He had, in some fashion, disobeyed an order.  Whatever the infraction, it was bad enough that his commander, at the field level, thought if noxious enough that his case was ordered up the chain of command until the soldier was escorted to the command headquarters tent of General Robert E. Lee, the Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia.
