The Battle of Beecher Island
The Battle of Beecher Island
According to Leo Fries, the nephew of Joseph Fries: After leaving the fighting of the Civil War Joseph enlisted with General Sheridan to fight indians on the western frontier. According to Leo, Joseph was badly wounded, but survived the fighting. Following is the story of the Battle of Beacher Island.
--------------
In an indecisive but bitterly fought battle at this site, a force of about 50 frontiersmen under Maj. George A. Forsyth engaged more than 1,000 Sioux and Cheyennes, led by Roman Nose, Pawnee Killer, and other chiefs. Pursued all the way from Fort Wallace, Kans., on September 16, 1868, the Indians turned on the troops, who entrenched themselves on a small sandy island in the Arikaree River. During the 9-day siege and the repeated Indian charges that followed, volunteers worked their way through enemy lines to obtain reinforcements from Fort Wallace, 125 miles away, who drove off the Indians. Casualties were heavy on both sides. Half the soldiers were wounded, Forsyth four times. The dead included Roman Nose and Lt. Frederick W. Beecher, after whom the island came to be named. Immediately after this battle, Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan began his 1868-69 winter campaign.

The island has long since disappeared because of shifting river channels, but a large monument near the post office at the town of Beecher Island commemorates the battle.

Status: Located; From the last days of September through October 1863, Gen. Braxton Braggís army laid siege to the Union army under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans at Chattanooga, cutting off its supplies. On October 17, Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant received command of the Western armies; he moved to reinforce Chattanooga and replaced Rosecrans with Maj. Gen. George Thomas. A new supply line was soon established. Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman arrived with his four divisions in mid-November, and the Federals began offensive operations.

On November 24, 1863, Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, the Union commander, ordered Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker's force to storm Lookout Mountain. Hooker's men swept up the western slope of the mountain and then charged around the base of the cliffs. The battle reached its high point near the Craven House just below the cliffs. The outnumbered Confederates were repeatedly pushed back.

Battle of Lookout Mountain--November 24' 1863.

Because fog enveloped the mountain most of the day, soldiers nicknamed the battle of Lookout Mountain the "Battle above the clouds".

On November 25, Union soldiers assaulted and carried the seemingly impregnable Confederate position on Missionary Ridge. One of the Confederacyís two major armies was routed. The Federals held Chattanooga, the ìGateway to the Lower South,î which became the supply and logistics base for Sherman's 1864 Atlanta Campaign1.

The Metagama--Annie, Edward and Andrew emigrated from Scotland to the United States on this vessel, leaving Glasgow on 14 March 1923.
The steamship Metagama was a typical commercial seagoing vessel in her day. She was built by Barclay, Curie & Co. of Glasgow and launched in April, 1915, just in time to see duty as a troopship during World War I. England and Germany had been at war for nearly a year and the Canadians were already supplying troops for the war effort.

The steamer was large for its day, at just over 500 feet. She offered accommodations for 520 first-class and 1,200 third class passengers. While designed to carry both passengers and freight for her owners, the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., the Metagama may have been pressed almost immediately into service as a troop carrier.

Among the photographs we found of the Metagama was one dated Nov. 20, 1915 as she was steaming from Montreal with troops packing her decks. Since she was Canadian owned, the steamer probably belonged to the Canadian Merchant Marine of more than 100 ships. Her exact role was shrouded in wartime secrecy so it is difficult to know just who or what government controlled her. She flew the flag of England when at sea.

After the war the vessel maintained regular transatlantic passenger duties, mostly between Liverpool and St. John, New Brunswick. Between 1915 and the day the Metagama was taken out of service 16 years later, she made 151 ocean crossings.

The Obituary of Frank Friese From the Columbia City Post
Status: Located; Frank often spelled his name as Friese, while many of the family chose the abbreviated spelling of Fries.
