    Campaigning in Louisiana

    All,

    We have added a link on the Banks' Grand Retreat homepage- www.banksgrandretreat.com entitled "Campaigning in Louisiana." It's a really interesting account from Captain William DeForest, a company commander in the 12th Connecticut.

    Excellent stuff chock full of colorful recollections as well as a fine recounting of the miseries of campaigning in the Pelican State under Comissary Banks.

    Hope you all enjoy and if you haven't yet, get those registrations in.

    Kind regards,

    As [one of our cavalry] passed by, the general halted him and inquired "what part of the army he belonged to." "I don't belong to the army, I belong to the cavalry." "That's a fact," says [the general], "you can pass on." Silas Grisamore, 18th Louisiana

      Bob,

      Indeed. I guess I had Louisiana on the brain. DeForest has now rejoined his comrades in the 12th Connecticut.

      Cordially,
      Fred Baker

        Mr. Baker,
        These errors and mental slick spots are certainly a sign of your mental condition weakening to the point that a Bowie to the gut would be an act of humanity, thus relieving you of the pangs of forgetfullness.
