AMBUSH AT ANCIAUX'S WHARF
by A. J. Morrow
The histories of all military units catalogue with pride the wars and campaigns in which such corps served. Few histories, however, deal with civil disturbance service. Most often, civil disturbance actions are dirty, disorganized, emotional confrontations against one's own countrymen. Such history is usually deemed best unwritten and quickly forgotten. Such has heretofore been the case with the history of the Republican Blues of the First Regiment at Savannah. History recalls only a whisper of the first civil disturbance service at Savannah, when daggers of American seamen crossed with the poignards of French privateersmen from November 12-15, 1811.
