Red River Expedition, March-May 1864
Watercolor by James Alden, depicting the monitors USS Neosho
and Osage running through a break in the Red River dam
to pass safely over the rapids, 9 May 1864.
This passage took advantage of an accidental break in the dam,
which was being built by Army engineers to raise the river level
enough to permit passage of all the vessels trapped above. Four
gunboats passed through at this time: Lexington (which
went first), Neosho (second), Fort Hindman and
Osage.
Collection of Cdr. George M. Bache, USN.
