A Civil War relic recalls Admiral Porter and Red River tale
A local writer preserves a Civil War poem titled Admiral Porter's Lamentations written by Wm. H. Campbell during Porter's Red River campaign in spring 1864. The piece, found among notes about ships Gazelle and other vessels, portrays naval drama as boats faced shallow water and damaged falls near Shreveport.
