Talk:Siege of Port Hudson

Untitled
Your blurb on the Battle of Port Hudson at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Port_Hudson is all whacked out. I do not know who made it up, but there is no information in that brief text that resembles anything that actually happened there, except that the Rebels and Yankees were at war.

You are right, the article suffers from a lack of content. I will load some in from actual history books and the "Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies." Modifications will appear in "History" as "Calendar5". Frank (talk) 18:37, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

The uses of adversity


During the Siege of Port Hudson in 1863, the Confederates put one locomotive to a strange use: "Lifted free from the rails and with a Belt attaeched to the driving-wheels, it was used to operate a grist-mill that ground the corn into rough meal, whieh was their substitute for flour. It did the work in a very satisfactory manner." --NearEMPTiness (talk) 09:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
