Wisconsin Lumberman Saves Red River Fleet
In 1864 a Wisconsin lumberman engineered a dam across the Red River to raise water level and enable Union gunboats and army transports to pass rapids. Despite ridicule from officers, Colonel Joseph Batley and 3,000 workers halted a loss of 80,000 soldiers and $2,000,000 feet of timber. By May 12 vessels crossed, and June 11 Congress thanked Batley with honors to Porter's fleet crew.
