149 Years Ago...

 

 

".....it was an awful sight! 

May God spare me from being again a spectator at such a scene! "

 

This account was written by a soldier that witnessed the drowning of 33 men of the 27th Regiment of New Jersey in the Cumberland River at St. Igail's Ferry near Somerset Kentucky on May 14, 1863 and later printed in the "True Democratic Banner" , a Northern New Jersey Newspaper.

 

 

The same soldier remembered the storms from the night before the disaster, swelling the Cumberland and making the current swift.  He later wrote:

 

" Last Tuesday we received a lot of tents borrowed from a cavalry regiment.  We had hardly pitched them when a most bountyful storm visited us, but my tentmates and myself were prudent men, for we built our house upon a rock."

 

The Following Account Was

Also Recorded:

 

"After the accident we remained on the bank a day for the purpose of recovering the bodies that might float to our side of the river, as the rebels held the other side."

 

 

You May Read More About The Cumberland River Accident Blow In The "News" Section. Please plan to join us on Saturday May 26th 2012 at the Civil War Statue in the Cemetery of the Rockaway First Presbyteran Church for a Memorial Service for the Soldiers that Served with the 27th Regiment of New Jersey Volunteer Infantry.  A Special Tribute Will Be Given To The Victims Of The Cumberland River Accident of 1863.
