Abstract
Gilbert Shaw, 42nd Massachusetts Volunteers, describes his adventures in the occupation of Louisiana. His voyage on the "Quincy" was perilous; a storm off Cape Hatteras nearly wrecked the vessel. Stationed first at Camp Carrollton and then on Bayou St. John, Shaw tells with humor and bravado tales of camp life. He writes about capturing smugglers on Lake Pontchartrain and about the departure of "registered enemies," civilians shipped from New Orleans across the lake. He also meditates on the laziness of the South and the inadequate housing there. In spite of the "bully" time he is having, he admits that he never wants to repeat his experiences of the past nine months.

Abstract
Johnson Kelly Duncan graduated from West Point in 1849. Born in Pennsylvania (1827 March 19), his army service included stations in Florida and in the Pacific Northwest, where he helped explore a railroad route. He resigned in 1855 to become superintendent of government construction in New Orleans. In 1861 he was the chief engineer of the Board of Public Works in Louisiana, when he was commissioned a colonel of artillery in the Southern army. Placed in command of the coastal defenses around New Orleans, including Forts Jackson and St. Philip, he was promoted to brigadier general on 1862 January 7. After a stubborn defense, Duncan was forced to capitulate in April to the invading fleet; he was captured and later exchanged. Upon his release he was appointed chief of staff to General Bragg, with whom he served only a few months before his death from fever at Knoxville, Tennessee (1862 December 18). The collection consists of two letters written by Duncan during his command while defending New Orleans, one of them on the eve of the defense of Forts Jackson and St. Philip.
