The plan supposedly protects the Baltimore and Ohio railroad as orders ripple through the army, provoking dismay among Bank’s troops and heavy speculation about a broader campaign.

Wisconsin Fourth Earned Notation in New Orleans Campaign
General Bailer lauds the Fourth Regiment of Wisconsin under Col Paine for sapient endurance during the New Orleans operation. Troops crossed bayous in a four and a half mile march and faced strong currents, with many waist deep. The report notes heavy exertion and credits Wisconsin and Indiana volunteers for the slow progress of operations while denying inflated opposition claims.
