It remained there, doing guard and fatigue duty until May 30, when it was ordered to proceed forthwith and report to Major-General Banks at Port Hudson. It there bore its share in the labors, fatigues, and hardships of the siege until the fort surrendered. In the assault on June 14, two of the companies were detailed, with others, to carry hand-grenades in the advance of the attacking column. Captain Bartlett, who commanded the whole of the party, fell mortally wounded upon the very breastworks of the enemy, while he, and the officers and men und
