OCTOBER 7, 1863:
The crew
of the U.S.S. OSAGE, serving on the Mississippi River, leave their ship behind
to mount an overland attack on Confederate vessels operating on the Red River.
Surprised by a landward assault, two Confederate vessels, the C.S.S. ARGUS and
the C.S.S. ROBERT FULTON, are destroyed and their crews captured.
