Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Personal Recollections of the Vicksburg Campaign: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States On the 22d of February, 1863, Logan´s Division embarked at Memphis, and next day landed at Lake Providence, above Millikin´s Bend. I commanded the 20th Ohio, in Leggett´s Brigade, Logan´s Division. Lake Providence is a portion of a former bed of the river, left by a change in its course. The bank of the lake was bordered by live-oaks, trailing with gray moss and with glistening magnolias. We camped in an old cotton-field. The ground was so wet that every tent had a board floor, and most had an extension of the floor in front, making a porch. The lake gave bathing and fish, and at evenings the band would play on a batteau sailing on the water. It was an ideal camp. About a week or less after their arrival a furious cannonade was heard in the night in the direction of Vicksburg. In a few days we learned the cause. On the night of the 2d of February the ram Queen of the West had run by the batteries of Vicksburg and Warrenton; but it shortly after ran aground in the Red River, and was captured. On the night of the 13th the iron-clad Indianola, with its heavy armament of two 11-inch and two 9-inch guns, ran by. But, on the night of the 24th, it was attacked by the Queen of the West and another ram, aided by two smaller boats.
