History of the Mississippi Marine Brigade
The Mississippi Marine Brigade was a Union Army unit raised during the American Civil War as part of the United States Ram Fleet under the direction of the U. S. Navy patrolling the Mississippi River. It was organized in early 1863 as part of the Regular Army instead of a State unit and was commanded by members of the Ellet Family. The brigade arrived in Vicksburg, Mississippi in late May of 1863 to fight the Confederates. By late June, a casemate fort was built at a point opposite Vicksburg, Mississippi which drew Confederate fire, but there was no loss of life and damage to the fort was insignificant. The gun at the fort was personally commanded and sighted by Capt. Thomas C. Groshon (1840 Bloomfield, NJ-1877 Helena, MT).
