No. 90.--Report of Brig. Gen. F. A. Shoup, C. S. Army, commanding Third Brigade.
[ar37_405 con't]
DALTON, GA, April 11, 1864.
GENERAL: I have the honor to transmit, inclosed, the report of operations of my brigade during the siege of Vicksburg. Before leaving Vicksburg, I rendered a report to Major General Smith, which was lost. I was directed by General Pemberton some time ago to make another and send it to you direct.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
F. A. SHOUP,
Brigadier-General.
General S. COOPER,
Adjutant and Inspector General, C. S. Army.
[Inclosure.]
HEADQUARTERS THIRD BRIGADE, SMITH'S DIVISION,
Vicksburg, Miss, July 8, 1863.
MAJOR: I have the honor to submit the following report of operations of my brigade during the siege of Vicksburg:
On May 18, I was ordered to send a regiment of my command on the Graveyard road, to a point near Willis', to cover a foraging party collecting <ar37_406> supplies in that quarter. Colonel [L. D.] Marks' regiment (Twenty-seventh Louisiana) was accordingly ordered to move. I accompanied the regiment. When it arrived at our line of intrenchments, intelligence was brought me that the enemy were upon us. I at once threw forward a strong line of skirmishers to check his advance and to allow us time to occupy the trenches. The skirmishers were engaged before they had advanced 300 yards from our line of rifle-pits. The trenches to the right were partially occupied by General [Louis] Hebert's brigade. I sent to ask that those troops be extended to the left, to close the interval, which was done. Colonel Marks' regiment rested, with the center at the redan, on the Graveyard road. I dispatched a courier at once to inform the major-general of the position of affairs. This was about 1 p.m. My skirmishers maintained their position. The enemy extended his forces to our left. After a time, Colonel [Winchester] Hall's regiment (the Twenty-sixth Louisiana) arrived, and was posted in the gorge at that point, where an advanced line of rifle.pits on the left strikes the principal line. Other troops arrived and extended the line to the left. Colonel [Allen] Thomas' regiment (the Twenty-eighth [Twenty-ninth] Louisiana). of my brigade, was temporarily detached.
Sharpshooting was maintained all along my front till dark. In the night I was advised that it had been determined to abandon the advanced line on the left, and was ordered to withdraw Colonel Hall's regiment as soon as the troops of that line had fallen back, which was accomplished quietly at dawn. I caused Colonel Marks' regiment to close to the right, to make the line more complete, and placed Colonel Hall's regiment on its left. The latter regiment found its position almost without intrenchments. Few tools could be had, but in a surprisingly short time a very tolerable cover was constructed.
At daylight the enemy had taken possession of the heights abandoned a few hours before by our troops, from which position he soon opened upon us with artillery. By 10 a.m. he had placed his batteries in our front, as well as to the right and left of my position, the line making a very decided salient. The fire from artillery and sharpshooters soon became very heavy. We made little reply, waiting for further developments.
About 1 p.m. the enemy debouched in force from a gorge in front of the center of my position. We opened on him. He broke and fled to the cover of the hills. After a time he reappeared in greater force farther to the right, in front of redan occupied by Colonel Marks' regiment. Our fire staggered him, but the fragments of several regiments succeeded in gaining the cover of a ridge in front of the redan. Here he remained some time almost wholly free from our fire. He finally made a rush, with the intention of carrying our line, but was met by a terrific fire in front and flank, and fled in utter confusion, leaving many dead. Colonel [A. C.] Riley, First Missouri Volunteers, in response to request, moved promptly to support the point attacked, and arrived in time to render valuable assistance. The enemy continued a terrific fire until dark.
In this attack the enemy lost several prisoners, a stand of colors, and many stand of arms. Our loss was heavy.
Colonel Hall, Twenty-sixth Louisiana, was severely wounded while in the gallant discharge of his duty. Capt. Louis Florence, a volunteer aide for the occasion, was killed early in the action; he had borne himself with great bravery. Several other officers were killed and wounded. <ar37_407>
Too much praise cannot be given to both men and officers. My thanks are expressly due to Capt. B L. Moore, acting assistant adjutant-general, for valuable and intelligent service during the day; he displayed the most marked gallantry.
May 20 and 21.--Continued fire from the artillery and sharpshooters of the enemy. We improve every moment to strengthen our line and protect ourselves from the incessant fire. Our artillery is almost useless, since we have no properly constructed protection. Being almost without intrenching tools, we can do little to repair the evil.
May 22.--Fire from the enemy before dawn; keep it up with extreme vigor. A little after noon the enemy attempted to carry my position on the extreme right; another failure. A force on my extreme left begins to assemble. Taking advantage of the gorge in front, they gain the cover of the steep declivity at the foot of ridge running down from our line into the gorge. Several regiments are finally assembled. About 3 p.m. a very heavy force discovers itself on my right and General Hebert's left. It moves forward to assault our line; it is repulsed with great loss. Many of the enemy are killed in the ditch of redan occupied by Third Missouri Volunteers. A terribly beautiful scene. About 5 p.m. the force on my left just spoken of makes a dash at my line. It is slaughtered, and flies in confusion. The troops behaved most admirably; mount the parapets with enthusiasm. Colonel Marks, Twenty-seventh Louisiana; Lieutenant-Colonel [L. L.] McLaurin, Twenty-seventh Louisiana; Lieutenant-Colonel [W. C.] Crow, Twenty-sixth Louisiana; Major [W. W.] Martin, Twenty-sixth Louisiana, and Major [A. S.] Norwood, Twenty-seventh Louisiana, each display great gallantry.
May 23 to 31.--Enemy intrenching energetically at night, keeping up a continuous fire during the day. He has an almost continuous line of circumvallation; his guns are thoroughly protected with mantlets against sharpshooters. We are ordered not to expend ammunition. Colonel Thomas' regiment rejoined the brigade on May 25, and was placed in the center of my position. We are still at work improving our line. A furious cannonade on the 31st.
June 1.--Enemy has established a new battery opposite the center of my line; also some additional rifled guns opposite redan; do our works considerable damage.
June 3.--Fire as usual. We lose a number of men each day. Last night enemy was at work within 150 yards of redan. Feel the want of light-balls; have no means of lighting up. The nature of the ground being very broken, permits the enemy to work so near us; are not strong enough to drive him away.
June 4.--Enemy opened on my left this morning at 10 o'clock with artillery and musketry; continued above an hour. He has quite a complete parallel in front of redan. It extends from the road (Graveyard) about 150 yards to the right, and is only distant about 100 yards from the redan. This salient is very weak; we are doing all we can to strengthen it; have urged the importance of it to the major-general. We are constructing rifle-pits in front of stockade between the redan and lunette on the left.
June 5.--During the night the enemy kept up an incessant artillery fire and occasionally musketry. The enemy is pushing forward his approaches on the Graveyard road. Last night he constructed a rifle-pit to the left (our) of the road and within 75 yards of redan; he has complete cover to it. Sharpshooting from those new works is maintained <ar37_408> with great activity and bitterness. We are entirely too weak to drive him out of these works; besides, the ground is very unfavorable for such an adventure. Are pushing forward work on our post; much yet to be done. We fire upon his parties at night, but cannot altogether stop his work. Have recommended the construction of lines of retrenchments as a precaution should the enemy carry this point. We are using cotton for protection. It does not answer very good purpose; takes fire and has to be pulled down. It is good against sharpshooters.
June 6.--Enemy fired nearly all night from artillery; otherwise much as usual.
June 8.--Nothing unusual on yesterday. Today the enemy remarkably quiet; continuous fire during the night. He still works vigorously on his approaches. Can now come within 50 or 60 yards of the redan; is advancing by double sap. Call attention again to the importance of constructing interior works to command redan should it fall. Pickets captured a prisoner (Ninth Iowa) last night.
June 9.--Last night the enemy fired into our working party on the left, wounding 2 men. We are constructing a rough stockade at that point, to prevent a dash from the enemy's works, now not more than 75 yards distant. We work under great difficulties; want axes and intrenchment tools. On the right we are strengthening ourselves steadily and surely; are making in the ditch and in front of the redan rough stockades with brush and wire entanglements.
June 10.--Rained heavily this morning. Everything quiet except an occasional shot.
June 11.--More rain last night. No unusual movement on the part of the enemy. He has not been at work since the rain began. He is running a regular zigzag, using gabions and sap-roller in front of redan. The relief of the redan is so great that we cannot bring a gun to bear on his sap-roller. The sharpshooters are extremely vigilant, and are within 60 or 70 yards, excellently covered. In front of the center of my position the enemy is constructing approaches to gain the point in front of lunette. The Twenty-sixth Louisiana is securing its front against a dash by means of a picket with brush entanglements. Have directed that my entire line should be protected by brush; it is progressing rapidly.
June 12.--Enemy did no work last night in front of the redan. We finished our stockade on the left last night; shall cause a rifle-pit to be dug immediately on its rear. Shall complete the brush protection along my line to-night. No great firing yesterday.
June 13.--Enemy again at work on the right. Did little last night, but something. Again urge that the engineers construct inner works. No particular change observable at other points. This morning the enemy is unusually active on the right, firing on the redan; has cut away the parapet very considerably. Sharpshooting very bitter. Sharpshooters take aim at exposed points, and when one exposes himself in the least a number of guns are discharged simultaneously.
June 14.--Enemy cut down parapet of redan and disabled 12.pounder gun at that point. He made no perceptible advance with his sap last night. We used rampart and hand-grenades on his sap last night with good effect. Have organized my artillerists into a hand-grenade and thunder-barrel corps, since our guns are of no service. The Twenty-seventh Louisiana has suffered dreadfully up to this time. It was relieved for a few days by a Missouri regiment.
June 15.--No change since yesterday. Sap at redan very close, within <ar37_409> 10 paces of ditch. We are using hand.grenades on working parties. Completed our rifle-pits on the left between new stockade and our works. Since 12 m. artillery firing has been very heavy.
June 17.--No change since yesterday. Two men deserted from the Twenty-sixth Louisiana last night. The Twenty-seventh Louisiana has returned to its position. We are on speaking terms with the enemy at the redan. The picket parties at that point agree upon short truces, during which neither party is to fire. Notes are thrown across from one party to another. Some trading going on in coffee, &c. Have forbidden communications, but after sundown the firing ceases and there is a good deal of talk going on between the enemy and our own people, but principally in the brigades to my right and left. I permit it only in the presence of the officer of the day. Brothers, relations, and friends are constantly inquiring after each other.
June 19.--Day passed as usual yesterday. The enemy has constructed two new embrasures on the left of my line, probably to attempt to cut down the stockade at that point. The stockade between the redan and lunette is perfectly riddled, but is still about as good as ever; it is of poplar timber. The enemy seems to take delight in firing at it. He is running a double sap up the ridge on the left, but he can accomplish nothing with it; that point is secure.
June 20.--Furious cannonading began at daylight and continued a good part of the day. Enemy was at work again in front of redan. Think he is constructing a parallel on each flank for his sap. There are no indications that he is yet running galleries. He seems not to have worked all night.
June 21.--Enemy broke new ground last night in front of lunette; is using gabions; has secured cover within 60 yards of works. He could reach this position in spite of us; think he only wants cover for sharpshooters. Urge the importance of light-balls; if light-balls proper cannot be had, some substitute can. Ask for more hand-grenades; find that they work excellently well. Lieutenant-Colonel [L. L.] McLaurin, Twenty-seventh Louisiana, mortally wounded; he was an excellent and gallant officer.
June 22.--Maj. W. W. Martin, Twenty-sixth Louisiana, was killed instantly by sharpshooters. He was one of the most gallant and excellent young officers of the command. His loss is a most serious one. Everything much as usual.
June 23.--We are constructing galleries from several points in the ditch of redan against the enemy's works. Cannot hear him at work yet. Major [A. S.] Norwood, Twenty-seventh Louisiana, wounded. The Twenty-seventh Louisiana is now without a field officer, and has but one captain for duty. My entire command is sadly reduced in officers.
June 24.--Comparatively quiet. Rained during the night. Think the enemy is making galleries. An attempt was made to spring our mines; failed. The train was laid in gas-pipes; will not communicate. Find by experiment that powder, when confined in a long tube, when ignited, will burst the tube a few feet from the end, and will not burn farther.
June 26.--Everything much as usual yesterday; continuous firing.
June 27.--Our mines at the redan were sprung last night with success. The wire under changed mines. No damage done to the counter-scarp of ditch. It is still perfect. Must have done the enemy much harm.
June 28.--Enemy fired upon and drove in our working parties, which were attempting to construct a picket on the outside of lunette. No <ar37_410> change observable in the enemy's doings. Colonel [L. D.] Marks, Twenty-seventh Louisiana, mortally wounded. He was a gallant officer.
June 29.--Enemy seems to change his point of attack. Is at work in front of stockade, between redan and lunette. The declivity is so great that we can do him little harm. Are using hand-grenades on him.
June 30.--Enemy discovered to be approaching rifle-pits in front of stockade on the right with sap.
July 1.--Enemy drove in our pickets in front of stockade last night, wounding 2 men. Enemy is erecting a gabionade in front of redan. Amounts to nothing.
July 2.--Enemy advancing his sap in front of stockade. Protects himself from hand-grenades by covering his track with rails, thus making a sort of gallery. We are running a gallery from our trenches to blow in the enemy's works.
July 3.--A truce to-day. We can now see more clearly what the enemy is about. He has abandoned work in front of redan. He is running a gallery, with the intention of blowing up the stockade between lunette and redan. Is hard at work to-day. We follow his example. The question is, which shall explode first? A sad accident occurred last night. Lieutenant [E.] McMahon, engineer, was mortally wounded by the carelessness of our own men. Lieutenant McMahon has done most excellent service, and his loss is greatly to be deplored.
July 4.--Capitulation ordered. At 10 a.m. we moved out of our trenches by battalion, stacked arms, and then returned to our old quarters in town. The men were full of indignation. Though they have had very scant fare, and had been exposed to a merciless and almost continuous fire, remaining at their post in the trenches without relief, I have rarely heard a murmur or complaint. The tone has always been "This is pretty hard, but we can stand it." Too much praise cannot be given to officers and men.
Detachments from the following batteries were posted on my line, viz: [J. Q.] Wall's, [William E.] Dawson's, [W. T.] Withers', [W. N.] Hogg's, and Francis McNally's.
Lieutenant-Colonel [W. C.] Crow, Twenty-sixth Regiment Louisiana Volunteers, bore himself with marked gallantry throughout the siege. He was the only field officer remaining in his regiment.
Col. Allen Thomas, Twenty-eighth [Twenty-ninth] Regiment Louisiana Volunteers, was constantly at his post. He was vigilant and energetic.
The Twenty-seventh Regiment Louisiana Volunteers had no field officer remaining. Two were killed and the third severely wounded. Captains [E. W.] Robertson, [R. W.] Campbell, [C. J.] Foster, [Joseph T.] Hatch, [T. C.] Lewis, [Alexander S.] Norwood, and, in fact, the entire regiment, deserve the highest commendations.
My thanks are due to the following officers, who rendered me excellent assistance as staff officers: Capt. B. L. Moore, acting assistant adjutant-general; Lieut. Louis Guion, acting inspector-general; Capt. G. W. Clarke, acting ordnance officer; Capt. James C. Wiggs, acting inspector of artillery; Mr. Eugene Hill, volunteer aide, and Dr. Foster, volunteer surgeon.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Brigadier-General.

28 44 ---- 72 There are no muster-out rolls of the Confederate regiments. There are partial sets of muster-rolls and monthly returns at Washington in the Bureau of Confederate Archives; but they are defective and incomplete. There is no way of determining accurately the mortuary loss of each Confederate regiment during its entire service.
The total losses of a few regiments have been ascertained from other sources. The History of Gregg's South Carolina Brigade states the number of deaths in each regiment, and, judging from the casualty lists given for each action, the statistics are substantially correct.
