HDQRS. BATTERY M, FIRST MISSOURI LIGHT ARTILLERY,
Grand Ecore, La., April 18, 1864.

SIR: In compliance with orders received from headquarters chief of artillery, Department of the Gulf, I have the honor to very respectfully report the part taken by my command while on the Red River expedition since it left Alexandria, La. March 26, at 8 a. m., we left Alexandria by land and marched on a road leading along Bayou Rapides to a point on Red River called Judge Boyce's plantation, where we arrived at 1 p. m. March 27. Remained here in camp to await the arrival of the transports, supposed to have much difficulty in passing the falls above Alexandria. Transport having arrived April 2, we embarked and moved up the stream at 2 p. m., arriving at Grand Ecore on the next date. April 7, at 6 a. m., the Sixteenth Army Corps moved from our camp to join General Banks' command, then on its way to Shreveport, while our division embarked as a guard for the transport as they proceeded up the river. One section with me was on Emerald and one section with Lieutenant Shepherd on board the Thomas E. Tutt. Left Grand Ecore at
