This book is a collection of court documents relating to the dismissal of Patrice de Janon, a professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point. The author, Patrice de Janon, was a Spanish professor at West Point for over six years and was summarily dismissed from his position in 1863 without complaint or reason. This book is his response to the report made to President Lincoln by General Richard Delafield, which attempted to justify de Janon's dismissal on the grounds of incompetence. De Janon provides evidence of his competency as a Spanish professor, including testimonials from respected Spanish scholars. He also argues that the report against him was based on false and biased information, and that he was never given a fair hearing. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the United States Military Academy in the 19th century, and sheds light on the challenges faced by immigrants and minorities in the United States during that time. It is also a powerful reminder of the importance of due process and fair treatment under the law.
