In writing, but not for publication, Charles Stewart presents the facts of his brother Colonel William F. Stewart, to journalist Lincoln Steffens. On October 2, 1907, Colonel Stewart received orders to relinquish his command at Fort Barrancas, Florida. Now he is stationed without command at the ungarrisoned Fort Grant, Arizona. Stewart regards his brother’s situation as forced exile, an unfitting position considering he has not been criminally convicted.
