Soldiers' And Citizens' Album Biographical Record Grand Army Of The Republic 1888 Pages 511-512: JOHN A. LIEBERT, Manitowoc, Wis., member of G.A.R. Post No. 18, was born August 18, 1842, in Posen, Germany. . . March 22, 1863, he enlisted in Company L. 4th Wisconsin Infantry, at Madison, for three years. He joined the regiment in time to participate in both attacks on Port Hudson and was with it when it was con-verted into a cavalry command. He was in all the variety of service, which included the fights at Baton Rouge and Port Hudson previous to being mounted, and after was engaged in scouting, picket duty and foraging and was in many skirmishes in which supplies were captured, rebels dispersed and taken prisoners and, August 20, 1865, was transferred to Company E, of the same regiment, the command serving in Texas, where he was discharged at Brownsville, May 28, 1866, two months after his term of service had expired. The regiment performed much heavy marching and, on one occasion, he was in a forced march from Mobile to Memphis. Before reaching that place they re-ceived orders to go to Vicksburg and for four weeks had only corn meal for food. When General Grierson received orders to move from Port Hudson to Mobile, he sent 1,800 men, including the 4th Wisconsin, with a train of wagons to obtain forage for the horses. One night, during a heavy rain, they camped in the vicinity of 5,00 rebels. One of the Union scouts entered the rebel camp and obtained his supper and heard the discussion of plans to capture the entire Yankee force during the night, but the at-tack was prevented by the rain. The next day a train of wagons which went out for corn was captured by the rebels, but the escort all escaped. It was composed of the 2nd Texas, regiment, and the rebels captured the surgeon of the 4th Wisconsin. They were about to hang him on the supposition that he was a Texan, but he claimed to be-long to the 4th Wisconsin, and they held him two weeks until he could prove his iden-tity, when he was released. On the same trip, in an encounter with the rebels, the Union force captured as many prisoners as they themselves numbered. After the close of the war, the regiment marched through to Texas and spent some time in watching the borders during the process of reconstruction. Previous to this, after the virtual close of hostilities, the column encountered a rebel force that showed fight, al-though Lee had surrendered, but in view of the superior numbers of the Union troops, the changed their minds. At this place, the regiment obtained rations for the first time after a long and heavy march. While the regiment was passing through Alabama, endeavoring to find Jeff Davis, they encountered a body of Confederates who shouted to them, "hello Yanks, you have got to keep on marching until you get home, but we are through." The reply "Yes, that is all right, but our money is good, and yours ain't," was not appreciated. On one occasion when Mr. Liebert was on picket duty, a lady and a little girl came along on a pony. They had to cross a slough and the un-dertaking was a dangerous one; Mr. Liebert left his post, contrary to orders, took the child and the lady across on his horse, leading the pony. Although the lady was a rebel, she thanked him cordially for his courtesy and promised him entertainment, if he would call at her residence. Mr. Liebert enlisted in 1862 in the 27th Wisconsin Infantry, but was rejected on account of his size. Of his company of 112 men but 28
came back at the close of the war. He returned from the war to Manitowoc, where he is engaged in the business of a merchant tailor. He was married in 1869 to Amelia Rietz."
