Siege of Port Hudson Ends in Confederate Surrender
Personnel from the Eleventh North Carolina and supporting units defended works at Port Hudson under Colonel Bell during a March to April siege. Union forces led by Lt. Ames McDouall and others breached defenses, fighting bitterly with canister and musketry. Surrender followed after hours of heavy combat near Port Hudson on April 9, with prisoners and captured fortifications changing hands as Union troops advanced from the lower lines.
