CIVIL WAR GENERALS’
DAYS OF PIONEERING
IN OREGON RECALLED
(By Associated Press)
SPOKANE, Wn„ Feb. 10.—Little
known incidents in the early army
careers of Generals Ulysses S. Grant,
Phil Sheridan and George P. Mc
Clellan are related in an account ol
a year they spent at old Fort Van
couver, Oregon territory, written by
Mrs. Delia B. Sheffield, who as the
wife of a sergeant in the Fourth
United States infantry, the command
to which they were attached, shared
their pioneering experiences there
in pre-Civil war days.
A movement has been launched to
restore old Fort Vancouver near
what is now Vancouver, Wash., across
the Columbia river from Portland,
. Ore. The Fourth United States in
- fantry, one of the pioneer organiza
tions of the army, now is stationed
at Fort George Wright, Spokane.
Mrs. Sheffield’s memoirs of these
days have been made public by Will
; iam S. Lewis, historian of the East
jern Historical Society, who receiv
| ed them from Mrs. Caroline Hatha
Iw'ay Cook, Mrs. Sheffield’s daughter.
General, then Captain Grant, was
regimental quartermaster and was in
charge of the transportation of the
Fourth infantry on its long journey
from Governor’s Island, New York,
to Fort Vancouver in 1852. The trip
was commenced on July 5, by steam
er for Aspinwall, Panama by train,
boat, on muleback and afoot. The
, officers were accompanied by their
I families and some of the women
carried small babies.

journey, the California gold rush
was in full swing, and after the reg
iment had boarded a steamer on the
Pacific side of the isthmus, Asiatic
cholera broke out. San Francisco
was reached September 1, but no
shore leave was granted for fear
of desertions to seek gold. At Ben
ecia, Cal., an army post, the regi
ment went into camp to recuperate
until September 18, and then again
boarded ship for Fort Vancouver
which was reached some days later.
Besides the army barracks there,
the tpwn consisted of the Hudson’s
Bay Company’s trading post and a
dozen log huts of Indian and half
breed employes of the company,
which carried on extensive trapping
operations with Fort Vancouver as
the base.
In order to raise the money to
bring his family from the east, Cap
tain Grant with a fellowT officer leas
ed a tract of land not far from the
fort, which be planted to potatoes
and oats. However, Mrs. Sheffield’s
account relates, the river flooded
out the crops.
In the spring of 1853 Captain
Grant asked Mrs. Sheffield to take
into her home as boarders himself,
Lieutenant Phil Sheridan, Captain
George B. McClellan and two others.
When she objected that she would be
unable to care for so large a house
hold, Captain Grant replied:
“Oh, that can be easily managed.
I shall detail one of the soldiers who
is a good cook to do the cooking,
and besides, 1 have an excellent
cook book and am a pretty good
cook myself. I am sure that we shall
manage very well.”
Grant missed his wife very much
at this time and frequently expressed
a desire to resign from the army and
live with his family, which some
time later he did. After the potato
failure, Grant and his business as
sociate bought all the chickens for
20 miles around and chartered a ves
sel to ship them to market in San
Francisco. The ship returned with
the news that the chickens had died
on the way, however, thus dealing a
second blow to Grant’s fortunes.
When Grant was ordered to report
for duty at Humboldt, Cal., he gave
Mrs. Sheffield his cook book, his
feather pillows and some trinkets.
“During Grant’s stay of one year at
Fort Vancouver he had not made an
enemy and gained the friendship and
good will of everybody,” Mrs. Shef
field wrote. “He was indeed one of
nature’s noblemen.”

NAUEN, Germany, Feb. 10.—Di

the sending station at Nauen and Bu

herself with the glass. In this, Su
perintendent Donner wrote, she per
haps went to extremes.
“Cut this,” he continued, “is a very
old custom among these people, and
she, being a very old lady, it would
have been useless to have tried to in
terfere with her belief and convic
tions. I want to say, however, that
the custom is not extensively prac
ticed, except among real old-timers
“I remember attending funerals or
his reservation 20 years ago when a
many as 15 or 20 women would prac- ^
tice this custom at the death of a
noted member of the family. The cus
tom is gradually dying out and will
be discontinued in the course of time
j without any interference on the par1
of this agency.”
