Official findings of the Turchin court-martial, as published by General Buell, on August 6, 1862:

"[He] allowed his command to disperse and in his presence or with his knowledge and that of his officers to plunder and pillage the inhabitants...they attempted an indecent outrage on a servant girl ... destroyed a stock of ... fine Bibles and Testaments. ...Defaced, and kicked about the floor and trampled under foot. ...A part of the brigade went to the plantation...and quartered in the negro huts for weeks, debauching the females. ...Mrs. Hollingsworth's house was entered and plundered. ...The alarm and excitement occasioned miscarriage and subsequently her death. ...Several soldiers...committed rape on the person of a colored girl. ...The court finds the accused [guilty as charged] ... and does therefore sentence ... Colonel J.B. Turchin ... to be
dismissed from the service of the United States. ...It is a fact of sufficient notoriety that similar disorders ... have marked the course of Colonel Turchin's command wherever it has gone.*
