Butler): The Hero of New Orleans Maryland, and assigning General Butler to the command. Few who had occasion to visit the ancient town during the latter days of April, 1861, will forget the interview which they were compelled to have with the General Corn manding before they could walk at will beyond the walls of the Naval Academy grounds. Seated in a large room in the main school-building, surrounded by his staff and numerous clerks, day and night, early and late, could this representative of New England loyalty be found, ever firm in his determination to carry out the regulations be deemed best adapted to the exigency, yet always courteous to the hundreds of visitors who thronged his office. Troops were despatched; actual or suspected rebel emissaries were arrested and examined; extensive purchases of sup plies were made; and citizens were received and their questions or complaints promptly answered. There was no confusion, no dissatisfaction, and General Butler abundantly proved that he was just the man for the position. While attending to those around him, he also kept his eye upon an important body which had convened at Frederick - the Maryland Legislature - and gave its members to understand that if they passed an ordinance of secession, he would arrest the entire Senate and House of Representatives. The annoyances to which he was subjected were sufficient to cause a less energetic officer to fail, but there is only one instance on record of his having lost his temper. A correspondent of a newspaper, who, finding the hotels full and the oors of the numerous buildings of the Academy covered with weary soldiers, came at midnight to the General's room and besought him to designate the place where he could sleep that night. The answer he received, and which doubtless he to this day remembers, was as follows Sir, I have done te-day about every thing that a man ever did in this world, but I am not going to turn chambermaid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1962, this is a biography of Benjamin Franklin Butler, (1818-1893), aka “Beast” Butler, an American lawyer, politician, soldier and businessman from Massachusetts, who became best known as a political major general of the Union Army during the American Civil War, and for his leadership role in the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. He was a colorful and often controversial figure on the national stage and in the Massachusetts political scene, where he served one term as Governor. “In the history of the United States, there has never been anyone quite like Benjamin Franklin Butler. Without a doubt one of the most incompetent Generals and corrupt politicians this nation has ever seen, Butler was accused during the Civil War, of murder, trading with the enemy, theft, maltreatment of women, blackmail, and arson. He was the only Union General that the Confederacy ordered hanged on the spot if captured. With his malefactions public knowledge, he became after the War, successively five times Republican United States Congressman, Democratic Governor of Massachusetts, and Greenback-Peoples candidate for the Presidency. He achieved these high positions by sheer bluff, taking care of his supporters, and by an oratorical ability to twist any occurrence, no matter how incredible, stupid, or shady into a vindication of himself. He was a demagogue’s demagogue.”—Robert Werlich, Foreword

Book excerpt: After only eight months in Louisiana, General Benjamin Butler departed New Orleans vilified by many Confederate politicians, their military leaders, the Southern press, and some citizens and foreign consuls living in the city. His eight-month stay was long enough for some Northern politicians who viewed him as a troublemaker. In the South, Butler was regarded as a thief, murderer, and beast. But was he those things, or simply a patriot who sought to punish the South for its treason? The answers lie within.
