• A Large Archive of Confederate
  A Large Archive of Confederate Martyr William B. Mumford 1860s-1950s hundreds of photographs and ephemera from Mumford his family and later generations including newspapers tintype albums CDVs cabinet cards advertisements presented loose and in albums. Note: In a combined land and sea operation initially under the command of Commodore David Farragut and soon involving Gen. Benjamin F. Butler Federal forces entered the mouth of the Mississippi River and assailed New Orleans the largest city of the Confederacy on 25 May 1862. Farragut sent a message from the Union fleet requesting Mayor John T. Monroe to remove the Confederate flags from the Custom House Mint and City Hall as a sign of surrender. Monroe's refusal caused Captain Henry W. Morris of the USS Pocahontas to send ashore an advance team of Marines to physically remove the Southern flags and substitute Federal ones while Farragut was still attempting to secure an official surrender from the mayor. As the Marines raised the American flag an angry crowd gathered; they were warned that the Pocahontas would fire charges of grapeshot on anyone tampering with the Stars and Stripes. Notwithstanding that warning William Bruce Mumford (c. 1820-1862) and six other Confederate sympathizers tore down the Union flag from the Mint. Mumford cut a staff to drop it and indeed the Pocahontas fired; a sliver of stone dislodged by the shot slightly wounded him but he carried the flag through rebellious citizens to the mayor at City Hall. By the time he arrived the remnant was almost unrecognizable and General Butler - who had declared that no activity in support of secession would be tolerated - was incensed: I find the city under the dominion of a mob. They have insulted our flag - torn it down with indignity. Both the perpetrators and abettors [will be punished] so that they will fear the stripes if they do not reverence the stars of our banner. Butler took official control of the city on 1 May 1862 and Mumford was arrested for treason (despite his Union patriotism as a Union soldier during the Seminole and Mexican wars). On 30 May he was convicted by a military tribunal sentenced on 5 June and hanged "from a flag-staff projecting from one of the windows under the front portico" of the Mint by now memorable as the scene of his crime on 7 June 1862. He is buried in a vault at Cypress Grove Cemetery in New Orleans. On 18 June 1862 Thomas Overton Moore the Confederate governor of Louisiana declared Mumford a hero and a model. C. S. A. President Jefferson Davis pointing out (as did Gen. Robert E. Lee) that the city was not yet in Yankee hands when the incident had occurred issued a proclamation threatening Butler and his officers with death; but Gen. Butler eventually interceded for a job in Washington on behalf of Mumford's widow Mary (c.1825-1912).
