It tended to demoralize the army?« Answer. Yes, sir; through the horde of civilians and cotton speculators and outsiders who necessarily must go with the army. Then the next thing was the disposition of the troops in the order of march, when it might reasonably have been expected that we would have to fight the enemy. The troops, instead of being massed as we approached the enemy, were thrown in in detail, brigade after brigade.
Question. In your judgment, could the force under General Banks ha...ve reached Shreveport had a proper disposition of march been made ?
Answer. In my opinion they could have done it by abandoning the gunboats and wagons. On an expedition like that gunboats and wagons are a great encumbrance.
Question. If they had reached it, what would have been the condition of the army about getting back again ?
Answer. If the enemy had been in small force there, we might, after getting to Shreveport, have marched down on Galveston ; but it would have been such a thing that but few armies could do it.
