Siege and Capture of Spanish Fort and Blakely
J W Morton recounts the forty four year anniversary of the siege of Spanish Fort and Blakely near Mobile Bay. He notes Union forces led by the Thirteenth and Sixteenth corps attacked entrenched Confederate defenses from Navy Cove and near the bay on March 26 and stormed forts on April 9. Iowa regiments and others took part, with the Nineteenth Iowa singled out for honor and for guiding Confederate prisoners to Ship Island where news of Lee’s Virginia surrender reached them.
