Silas T. Grisamore was born in Indiana in 1825 and moved to Louisiana in 1846, settling first in Napoleonville and then in Thibodaux. He engaged in a variety of occupations but found most success as a merchant, selling goods from a flatboat that plied the waterways of the southern part of the state.

Grisamore's recollections of theshooting war are lively and compelling, but equally important are his reminiscences of the operations of the support branches of the army. As quartermaster, Grisamore was responsible for procuring food, clothing, tents, and other supplies for his fellow soldiers and transporting t
