The Editor of the Souvenir has had occasion to remark in previous editions that each Legislature has some peculiar characteristic to distinguish it from all others It fell to the lot of the Legislature of 1898, for the first time in over 30 years, or the usuil span of a generation, to make war preparations and to discuss war measures. The breaking out of the war with Spain found our Legislature rjady to do its part promptly and patriotically. With absolute unanimity and no more delay than was necessary for the making of the proper motions and the sig- nature of the bill by Governor Wolcott, the whole transaction occupying less than half an hour, the war appropriation of half a million dollars was voted ; and in the Senate the enactment of the measure was greeted with three cheers. No partisan discussion but patriotic action marked every measure of similar import. But this Souvenir is not intended as a record of what was done.

    “A Mainer From Rockland: Adelbert Ames in the Civil War.” By Michael Megelsh Master’s Thesis: Liberty University Thesis Director: Dr. Brian Melton Second Reader: Dr. Steven Woodworth Table of Contents Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………1 Chapter 1………………………………………………………………………………………10 Chapter 2………………………………………………………………………………………31 Chapter 3………………………………………………………………………………………61 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………………...87 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………………95 Introduction Surrounded by rough seas and located along the Cape Fear River, Fort Fisher was considered by the destitute Confederacy to be of vital importance to their survival. By early 1865, the salient fortification remained the last gateway between the Confederate States of America and the Atlantic Ocean. Located 18 miles south of the prized city of Wilmington, North Carolina, the formidable fortress had evaded capture while Federal forces held Charleston, Mobile, and every meaningful fortification along the Mississippi River. 1 Its capture would most certainly deliver a severe moral and logistical blow to the weakening Southern armies. Robert E. Lee declared that the fort must remain in Confederate hands at all costs or else he and the Army of Northern Virginia could not endure. 2 The United States War Department and its senior commanders were well aware of the strategic importance of Fort Fisher and the morale which it provided to the weakened Confederacy. In December 1864, 7,000 troops from the Army of the James, under the eccentric Major General Benjamin F. Butler set sail from the Virginia coast eventually joining forces with Rear Admiral David D. Porter and a massive flotilla of 60 warships. 3 Prior to the arrival of the infantry, Porter’s naval command sailed within striking distance of the southern stronghold but failed to force the fort’s defenders to surrender.

General Adelbert Ames, United States Senator Elect From Mississippi STUART B. LORD Adelbert Ames Soldier & Politician A Reevaluation Adelbert Ames was born in Rockland, Maine on Octo­ ber 31, 1835, the son of Jesse and Martha Bradbury Tol­ man Ames. Since his father was a master mariner, and given the shipbuilding atmosphere of Rockland, it is not surprising that young Ames served as a sailor and later as mate on a clipper ship.1 In 1856, when he was twenty years old, Ames was ap­ pointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Here he probably took such courses as mathe­ matics, languages, tactics, chemistry, engineering, ethics and law, and ordnance. He mastered these quite well ap­ parently, for when he graduated in May of 1861, he stood fifth in a class of forty-five.2 He was assigned as a Second Lieutenant to the Second Artillery Regiment, but due to the Civil War and the need for trained officers, he was made a First Lieutenant in the Fifth Artillery eight days later.3 Within a month of his commission, Ames was moving South with the Union Army.
