  • Columbus-Belmont History
    Columbus-Belmont State Park – Historic Pocket Brochure Text “The Gibraltar of the West” A thirty-two pound Sea Coast cannon (largest Civil War cannon in Kentucky), a portion of giant chain with 20- pound links and a huge anchor that once blocked the passage of Union gunboats on the Mississippi, and a network of earthen trenches were part of an impregnable Confederate stronghold known as “The Gibraltar of the West.” These artifacts, as well as a house believed to have been used a as a hospital, are preserved at Columbus-Belmont State Park. The Battle of Belmont, which took place on November 7, 1861, cost the country more than 1,000 casualties and in reality neither side was the victor. Control of Columbus was critically important during the Civil War and many strategies were planned by both sides to control the position. In addition, the Battle of Belmont was instrumental in the rise to power of one General Ulysses S. Grant, who led Union forces on that day. The Columbus Fortifications In September 1861, Confederate General Leonidas Polk, who was also the Bishop of Louisiana, moved his forces from Tennessee to occupy the heights at Columbus, Kentucky and established a camp at Belmont on the Missouri side of the river. Throughout the autumn and winter, as many as 19,000 Confederate troops labored incessantly to make the position at Columbus impregnable. A floating battery was positioned on the Mississippi including river streamers which were converted to gunboats; more than 140 guns were positioned on the bluffs; and a huge chain, firmly anchored on the Columbus shore and resting on rafts was stretched across the river.

Available at: https://doi.org/10.17077/0003-4827.6181 Hosted by Iowa Research Online WITH FREMONT IN MISSOURI IN 1861 Letters of Samuel Ryan Curtis EDITED BY KENNETH E. COLTON This second installment of the letters of Samuel Ryan Curtis, Congressman, engineer, and soldier, continues the publication of his correspondence through the first year of the Civil War, begun in the July issue of The Annals of Iowa as "The Irrepressible Conflict of 1861." As this second series begins. Colonel S. R. Curtis is on his way east to Washington, to attend the special session of the Thirty-Seventh Congress, and hopeful of winning a general's star in the volunteer army of the United States. Meanwhile his troops, the 2nd Iowa Volun- teer Infantry, continues to guard the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad line, to which duty they had been ordered in June, one month before. The reader will be interested in Curtis' comment upon the problems of supply confronting the Federal forces in 1861, problems much in the public mind in 1942, facing another war. Of special interest in this series of the war correspondence are the accounts of the developing crisis in the military command of the Department of the West, under that eccentric, colorful and at times pathetic figure.

BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse.

  • Timeline 1861
    CIVIL WAR TIMELINE 1861 Early 1861 Although the country has feared war for years, no one truly expects the horror the Civil War will become – in fact, South Carolina Senator James Chesnut boldly promises to drink all the blood that might be shed as a result of secession. He could never have imagined that in the South, between 1861 and 1865, three out of four white men of military age will take up arms . or that twice as many soldiers will die of disease as of wounds of battle. As one Iowa veteran would later observe, dying of illness offered “all of the evils of the battlefield with none of its honors.” [Faust, 4] Jan. 1 President-elect Lincoln declares slavery in Confederate states unlawful. “ Louisiana Senator Benjamin’s statement that “The South will never be subjugated” is met with “disgraceful applause, screams and uproar” by the crowds in the Senate gallery. [New York Times, p. 7] Rumors continue to circulate about Lincoln’s cabinet appointments. Fortifications in Charleston’s harbor are increased as tension mounts. st “ TN “Jan. 1 finds the American Eagle in great distress. .The politicians cannot save the Union, the people are divided, business [is] stagnant & nothing but the powers of Almighty God can save us from that destruction to which we are so rapidly hastening.” [Diary of William L.B. Lawrence, Nashville attorney] Jan. 2 South Carolina seizes inactive Fort Johnson in Charleston Harbor. The governor of North Carolina sends troops to seize Fort Macon, the forts at Wilmington, and the U.S. Arsenal at Fayetteville.

  • Belmont 1861: Geography of a Battlefield
    —from Glacial Deposits (Yearbook of the ISU Geography-Geology Dept), summer 1998 BELMONT 1861: GEOGRAPHY OF A BATTLEFIELD “All battles are fought at the junction of two or more map sheets.” -Murphy’s Law corollary This rule certainly applies to the battle of Belmont, the nearest Civil War battlefield to central Illinois….but at least there’s a good reason for it. Since the former hamlet of Belmont was located in the southeast Missouri Bootheel, on the Mississippi River across from Columbus KY, the 1:24,000 USGS maps of the area come from those two states. In November 1861, when Ulysses Grant took 3,114 young men down from Cairo IL in paddlewheel steamers for an attack on the Confederate position there, he may or may not have had the same problem with maps. Visiting historic battlefields is a popular pastime for several reasons: good exercise, attractive scenery, intellectual stimulation, and emotional engagement. There is a haunted atmosphere to those places where dramatic and deadly events took place, especially when the location isn’t commercialized and overrun with tourists. This is certainly the case with Belmont, twenty miles south of Cairo. The Confederate fortifications on the Kentucky side of the river have been made into a very nice state park, but Missouri has done nothing with the actual battle site other than putting a single historical marker on Highway 80 near the river. I’ve taken several groups there, and we have always had the place to ourselves. This would be an especially rewarding trip for anyone interested in geography or geology, because those disciplines explain why there was a battle here and why it went the way it did.
