HIS LIF*E AND T:MES

JAMES W.DENVER, Brig .General, 1861/63 .Letter to his wife, under date of WashingtonCity,D.C.October 23rd 1861.The fOllowing is taken from the letter: "Fremont[John)will, I suppose, (at least such seems to be the general impression, ) be supercededby some one,and report says by Gen.Hunter[David),- who is "our" Gen.Hunter. If reports speak true there will be a horrible expose of Fremont's doings at St.Louis andsince he left there. It seems that he was determined to keep coolon his march against Price[Sterling,Maj .Gen.C.S.A. ,1861/65),for he ordered five thousand tons of iceto be sent after him. Such is the report here,and people from St.Louis state it for afact. From this you see he is determined to have not only the "pomp and circumstanceof war" but also the comforts of whiskey smashes,gin slings and brandy julaps. WellFremont is certainly a most fortunate man. He is among men what comets are among theHeavenly bodies,- making a great display,but no one can tell whence they come orwhat they are made of. Purser Welsh who has had much to do with building him up butwho has been kicked aside by him, says that "he is a statesman who never made a speecha general who never fought a battle,and a millionaire without a dollar he can callhis own". Pretty severe coming from an old friend ,and one too who did as much as anyone else to give him the nomination for President.Your whilome [one time] friend,Judge Merrick, has been rather busy of late discharing young volunteers on write of habeas corpus/and on yesterday the Provost Marshallplaced a guard of soldiers at his house. You will have heard of the death of Col.Baker. Hi s rerna ins have just arr i ved in town. It was a bad defeat [ba t tIe of Ball'sBluff] but he behaved very gallantly.Our loss,from all I could learn from his Aid,cannot be less than five hundred. Nearly all the officers were killed or wounded ortaken prisoners. The Rhode Islanders broke at the first fire and deserted theirguns - three cannon - which were captured by the enemy. After dark the whole of ourmen threw their guns into the river and those who could swam across,while those whocould not were taken prisoners. There was a desperate hand to hand fight for possession of Col.Bakers body after he was killed,but his own men were successful. All thisI have learned since commencing this letter /Your own Will."

This patriotic letter and coverwas written by a soldier who hadmarched with his company fromFort Snelling to Little Falls. The armywas still pursuing the Indians follow~

ing the Sioux Uprising of August1862. He writes ahout the hardshipof winter travcl by foot: ~I slept inthe Barne eVf'ry nij.(llt hut t.l1n·(· we crawled int.o the hay like a parcelof pigs - the Captain had to bunkwith the mules - the corporals andsome of the high privats slept inthe Iiouse - I IlUlS.. tell you of onegreat curiosity I seen. It was at a:;mall tavern where we stoped onenight· I went into a small room totake off my harness. While I wasstandinR there the door opened anda lk'llilliful Ha .. ,~:d, wilh l"l'd hairand red face l.lId eyl's, that lookt'dlike skimed milk, andaOOL:t as big around asshe was long, made herapperance. She turned upher nose t-Jgh enough tohang your hat on. Thenshe slamed the door andsaid :;he wished thedarned .-:oldiers wouldkeep away."
