cy during 1861 and 1862, and until the summer of 1863, when the capture of Vicksburg and of Port Hudson by the Union forces under Grant and under Banks wrenched the majestic river from the Confederate control, and once again, in the words of Lincoln, it flowed unvexed to the sea. The first decisive blow in the recovery of the Mississippi was the capture of Island No.10 in the river opposite the line between Tennessee and Kentucky in April, 1862. In the same month fell Forts Jackson and St. Philip, not far from the river's mouth, by which victory New Orleans was restored to the Union. The battles of Pittsburg Landing, north of Vicksburg, in May, and of Baton Rouge, south of Port Hudson, in August, 1862, each a Union success, left only the Fortresses of Vicksburg and of Port Hudson, with the river between them, in the hands of the Confederacy. This was the military status of the Mississippi on January 1, 1863. In the foregoing I have noted the events of the war preceding and

associate, Charles D. Elliot, dates from the birth of the Somerville Historical Society. From the acquaintance thus formed there naturally sprang a friendship that grew and strengthened, till the memory only remained. I was quick to learn that we had, not a little, but much in common. In a heart-to-heart talk one day, friend Elliot made a remark that prompted me to tell him something of my feelings and emotions on that Sunday morning, December 14, 1862, as I stood on the parapet at Fort St. Philip and witnessed the passing of the fleet of transports bearing General Banks and his troops to New Orleans to relieve General Butler. Whereupon he very quietly and modestly said: I accompanied that expedition. This was the first intimation I had of his connection with the Union Army. Needless to say, a fraternal feeling existed between us from that moment. If from this point I quote freely from the History of the Nineteenth Army Corps, and from Mr. Elliot's paper on The Siege of Por

ah; Forts Key West and Garden Key on two small islands at the extremity of Florida; Forts McRae and Pickens at the entrance of the bay of Pensacola in the same State; Forts Morgan and Gaines in front of Mobile, in Alabama; and Forts Jackson and St. Philip on the Mississippi, below New Orleans. The garrisons of these forts had been so much reduced that they were all liable to be captured by a sudden attack. The excitement in Congress was great. With the exception of the secession leaders, al followed the example of Anderson, eluded the vigilance of the enemy who was watching him, and abandoned the first to retire into the second, which was thus wrested for ever from the hands of the Confederates. On the same day Forts Jackson and St. Philip on the Mississippi were delivered up to the authorities of Louisiana, and on the following day they took possession of the arsenal at Baton Rouge. On the 18th, in order to close the Upper Mississippi against any possible attacks from the north

it takes the shape of a half-closed fan, each branch lying between two similar dykes. Its depth diminishes gradually with the rapidity of its current, and it drives slowly before it, like a moving barrier, an accumulated mass of mud which interposes a serious obstacle to navigation; its waters no longer advance, but from the pressure of the mass which follows them they finally mingle with that sea which seems to shrink from their contact. Two important fortifications, Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip, command the course of the river near the point where it leaves the coast, to discharge into the open sea, the basis of the new delta which has been perceptibly forming around. The point where the waters divide is called La Tete-des-Passes, and among these channels there are only three practicable for vessels of great draught—on one side the south-west pass, and in an entirely opposite direction La Passe-a-Loutres and the north-east pass. The Confederates occupied the forts, but it wa
