February 9, 1862---General Grant to troops: "I will punish plunderers."



FEBRUARY 9, 1862: 

 Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant U.S.A. issues a strict order against his men pillaging or plundering the local populations. 

He writes: “This has been done but to a very limited extent in this command so far, but too much for our credit has already occurred to be allowed to pass without admonition.”
