註釋Few things in life generate more anguish, anger and frustration than being unjustly accused of wrongdoing. But thats what happened to Major George C. Trimble of the 11th West Virginia Infantry. Previously a captain in the 1st West Virginia Infantry, Trimble had the potential to be a great leader in the Civil War. Instead, he was "dismissed the service," along with his superior, Colonel John Castelli Rathbone, for cowardly conduct. This is a biography of Major Trimble, a Wheeling, West Virginia officer, entirely dedicated to the Union cause. It is also about a collection of Trimbles personal items, and about his family, friends and associates, particularly millionaire oilman, Colonel John Castelli Rathbone, of Wirt and Wood Counties, West Virginia. Major Trimbles life, in general, was profoundly sad. The dishonorable discharge surely resulted in the death of his expectations - yet, somehow, he managed to continue his life and work in Wheeling, as he persevered to clear his name.
