Wounded on 14 June 1863 at Port Hudson, LA
Mustered out Company B, 26th Infantry Regiment Connecticut on 17 August 1863 in Norwich, CT
From May 27th until June 14th [1863] the entire command was under continual fire, night and day [at Port Hudson]. On the afternoon of June 13th a heavy skirmish line was thrown out on [General T. W.] Sherman's front, in which the Twenty-sixth performed a conspicuous part, losing one man killed and seven wounded. On June 14th a second general assault was ordered. Sherman, who had lost a leg May 27th, had been succeeded by General Dwight, who selected a position ... near the Mississippi River. The result of this assault was similar to the first. It was made in the early morning. No troops could have been better handled, or acted with more gallantry. In this charge the Twenty-sixth numbered 235 men, and its total casualties were sixty-one. Of this number four were killed and sixteen wounded by a single shell. After this battle the brigade commander said in his report: "The nine months troops have demonstrated by their gallant conduct that they can be
relied upon in any emergency." - WRITTEN BY CAPTAIN LOREN A. GALLUP, LATE OF COMPANY F, TWENTY- SIXTH CONNECTICUT VOLUNTEERS.
Buried in the "Grand Army of the Republic" (GAR) section of the cemetery.
After the end of the American Civil War, veterans formed fraternal groups to continue bonds formed in the war, ultimately gaining political power. The GAR emerged as the most powerful among the various organizations, by 1890 numbering 409,489, and aligned with the Republican Party. Founded in Decatur, Illinois on April 6, 1866 by Benjamin F. Stephenson, membership was limited to honorably discharged veterans of the Union Army, Navy, Marine Corps or the Revenue Cutter Service who had served between April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1865.
