MONROE COUNTY IN THE CIVIL WAR
Wisconsin, Sixth Michigan and Twenty-first Indiana regiments, went on board the ship Great Republic, which was the next day towed by Jackson toward the Mississippi river and anchored off the southwest pass to await the action of the fleet which had gone up the river to attack Forts Jackson and St. Phillips. Here they witnessed in the distance that terrible bombardment whose lightnings and battle clouds filled the heavens as with a tempest.
The bombardment opened April 18th under Captain Farragut. The forts were damaged but before being captured it was de- cided to pass them and go on to New Orleans, which was done on the 24th, the chain boom obstruction over the river having first been passed and the rebel fleets silenced and the guns of the forts were partially silenced. The land forces were ordered to sail around by a more shallow passage through the Bay of Ronde and strike the river in the rear of the forts. The Fourth Wis- consin was transferred from the Colorado to the Great Republic and on the 26th started with other troops for Sable Island. The expedition was successful and the Fourth Wisconsin received high praise from Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, who was in command of that district. On the 29th the companies of the Fourth Wis- consin were assembled from the gunboats and in connection with the Thirty-first Massachusetts were the first troops to land in New Orleans. With colors flying, their feet keeping time to "Yankee Doodle" as they marched to the custom house and took forceable possession, the Fourth Wisconsin occupying principally the post office. Here it remained until the 8th of May, perform- ing the duty of provost guard in the city. On that day six com- panies embarked on the transport Burton, steamed up the Mis- sissippi river thirty-five miles and landed on the left bank. Just before daylight they started with part of the Sixth Michigan for the Jackson and Mississippi railroad after a difficult and dangerous march through cypress swamps and difficult roads and having a little brush with the outpost of the enemy. On the 18th they reached, in boats, the vicinity of Warrenton at 5:00 in the afternoon and tied up at that place in sight of the rebel works. After some skirmishing the regiment proceeded on the river to Baton Rouge, where it landed and remained until the 17th of June. On the 5th of June General William's order was issued directing the commanders to turn fugitive slaves out of their camps and keep them out. Colonel Paine refused to obey this order and was placed under arrest. Colonel Paine consid- ered that by turning these fugitives out that he was violating the act of congress which provided an officer from employing
114
HISTORY OF MONROE COUNTY
troops under his command to return fugitives from services or labor and that by turning them away from the protection of these troops he was violating that act. The regiment stood by the colonel and was highly indignant, and on the 17th of June it was so modified that he again assumed command and the regi- ment embarked on the second expedition to Vicksburg. At Grand Gulf they burned every building and in the night embarked for Vicksburg, which was reached on the 25th. Soon after the arrival at Vicksburg it was decided to dig a canal from the Mississippi river above the city, the neck of land opposite to the river below. and part of this work was then under the direction of Captain Bailey. Negroes were conscripted from all the planta- tions along the river for this work. It was continued up until July 14th, when, owing to the fearful loss of life from disease contracted in the low, wet ground, the work was abandoned on July 14th. On that same day Capt. John W. Lynn, of Company I, with twenty men, two from each company, crossed to the fleet above Vicksburg and went on board the gunboat "Tyler," and the next morning started up the Yazoo river to perform the duty of sharpshooters. When near Old River the rebel ram Arkansas was met and the Tyler turned about. A running fight followed on the Mississippi river in which the brave captain and five men were torn to pieces by a shell and six others wounded. The ram ran through Porter's fleet to Vicksburg. The Fourth Wisconsin was sent under the command of Colonel Paine to the point oppo- site the town to prevent the crossing of the rebels. While here they witnessed the bombardment of the city by the combined Heets of Farragut and Davis, which was a terrible scene. The regiment steamed down the river and landed at Baton Rouge on the 26th after the bombardment, the expedition having suffered much from disease, and on the 31st of July Colonel Paine, in obedience to orders, started for New Orleans to report arrest of General Butler. On the morning of August 5th an advance was made to meet the confederates under General Breckenridge, who was repulsed with great loss. In this battle General Williams was killed and Colonel Paine was summoned to New Orleans by General Butler and placed in command to return to Baton Rouge and burn the city to the ground. The next night at 12:00 o'clock Colonel Paine reached the city, found that the rebels had retreated and that the federal troops had changed their position and were waiting another attack. Colonel Paine held the city until the 17th of August, when he received information from General Butler that Baton Rouge would be again attacked on the
115

18th of August. The Colonel had also learned the same thing from his scouts and was prepared. All spare baggage was ordered on board the transport, signals were arranged for by day and night, all state prisoners were taken to the boats and sent down the river. On the 18th the enemy approached the works on the southeast but were easily repulsed by the gunboats. On the 19th the colonel posted notices requiring all residents to leave the eity on the following day, and directed that the buildings should be burned on the 20th unless the order was rescinded by General Butler. Before daylight on the 20th an order was re- ceived, dated the 19th, from General Butler, rescinding the order to burn the city. The town was thus saved. for which the people of Louisiana may be forever grateful to the generous heart of Col. Halbert E. Paine, of the Fourth Wisconsin. On the 21st the city was evacuated. The regiment did some service at different points during September, October and November, and on the 19th of December returned to Baton Rouge, Major Boardman in command. The regiment afterwards participated in that famous siege of Fort Hudson and lost very heavily. It had been con- verted into a cavalry regiment in 1863, and as such it took rank with the best cavalry regiments in the service. Most of its serv- ice was in Missouri, Louisiana and Tennessee, and at the close of the war it went with the army destined for Texas and served there until 1866. The Fourth had a longer term of service than any other regiment sent from Wisconsin to the war. From its ranks there came four generals: Gen. Harrison Cubart, Gen. 0. HI. LaGrange, Gen. Joseph Bailey, who rendered the county great service, and Gen. Ilalbert E. Paine, who served several terms in congress and held various positions in civil life. To have served in the bonny Fourth Wisconsin was an honor to any man. The Fourth had as colonels, and they were all superb soldiers and officers, Halbert E. Paine. S. A. Bean, Fred E. Boardman, Joseph Bailey, Webster Moore and N. F. Craigne. The regiment lost in battle 103, and from disease 261. It was mustered out of the service on the 28th of May, 1866, at Browns- ville, Minnesota, and was sent to Madison, up the river, arriving there on the 16th of June, 1866, where this veteran cavalry regi- ment was soon afterward paid off and disbanded.
CHAPTER XII.
ROSTER OF OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MEN, WAR OF THE REBELLION.
A careful search has been made through all available records, including the report of the adjutant general of Wisconsin for 1865, and the roster of Wisconsin volunteers published by author- ity of the legislature in 1886; we have endeavored to give here as accurate a list as is possible of the name of every man who volunteered or was drafted from Monroe county during that great struggle : owing to the similarity in names of towns in dif- ferent counties some confusion has resulted. but the following roster is believed to be correct.
