I was the officer who had been selected for this purpose. Cairo was to become my headquarters when the expedition terminated. In pursuance of my orders I established my temporary headquarters at Cape Girardeau and sent instructions to the commanding officer at Jackson, to inform me of the approach of General Prentiss from Ironton.
And in increasing the turnover rate, one of the most important factors was the Detroit, Toledo, & Ironton Railroad which we purchased. The railroad took a large place in the scheme of economy. To the road itself I have given another chapter.
He arrived at Ironton at nine o'clock that night where he remained until morning. From that point to Cincinnati, every town turned out to greet him. The banks were lined with people and bonfires were built at night. A short distance above Cincinnati he was met by an excursion steamer containing notables of that city and newspaper representatives.
Shortly after my promotion I was ordered to Ironton, Missouri, to command a district in that part of the State, and took the 21st Illinois, my old regiment, with me. Several other regiments were ordered to the same destination about the same time. Ironton is on the Iron Mountain railroad, about seventy miles south of St. Louis, and situated among hills rising almost to the dignity of mountains.
In 1874, United States engineers presented a plan calling for an expenditure of sixty millions, but there the matter rests. Andrew Lewis, of whose military abilities he had a high opinion.

The little tailor got up in local Ironton and made a motion that it take to itself the name "Bolshevik" which motion was carried with a whoop.
Our little friend would rush to the corner every morning to get the paper and see what had happened next; he would go down the street so excited that he forgot his breakfast. Jimmie had made a new acquaintance in Ironton; the little tailor, Rabin, whose name was Scholem, which means Peace, had given him a letter to his brother, whose name was Deror, which means Freedom.
Ironton suffered by both flood and fire. A block and a half in the business center of the city were consumed by fire and several buildings were dynamited to check the flames. No loss of life occurred. A citizen of Ironton wired to a friend in Philadelphia: "Floods here awful. Any charity funds that can be directed here through clubs or otherwise would be appreciated."
It has a large slip and a turning basin capable of accommodating any lake steamship; a short-cut canal and some dredging will give a direct lake connection by way of the Detroit River. We use a great deal of coal. This coal comes directly from our mines over the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railway, which we control, to the Highland Park plant and the River Rouge plant.
