Excerpt from A Statement of the Case of Brigadier-General Joseph W. Revere: United States Volunteers, Tried by Court-Martial, and Dismissed From the Service of the United States, August 10th, 1863, With a Map, a Copy of the Record of the Trial, and an Appendix Justice to those friends and fellow-citizens of mine, at whose instance I took up arms in this war, and also to a military reputation founded upon twenty-five years spent in the service of the United States, in her armies and in the Navy, in every part of the world, compels me to lay before those friends and the public, the following statement of facts and accompanying documents. I have endeavored to confine myself strictly to the official action of the Court-Martial which sentenced me to dismissal from the Army, and to matters respecting that action, for, in my quality of a soldier, I have always judged men by their acts, and not by what they say of themselves, or by what their friends or others say of them. I submit this statement in the belief that the public, more fully informed than the Court, will exonerate me from the censure cast upon me by its sentence.
