| Description |
English: Print of a battle scene with an officer on horseback firing a pistol at an officer holding a flag in the foreground. "LIEUT. HAMMOND CAPTURING COL AVERY, OF SOUTH CAROLINA, WHILE HE WAS ENDEAVORING TO RALLY THE FLYING REBELS. - FROM A SKETCH BY OUR SPECIAL ARTIST, MR. J. H. SCHELL." (printed below image).
“Battle of New Berne- Lieutenant Hammond capturing Colonel Avery, of South Carolina, while he was endeavoring to rally the flying Confederates. Our illustration represents the moment when Lieutenant Hammond, of the gunboat Hetzel, who served one of the guns of McCook’s naval battery at the battle of New Berne, hearing that a Confederate colonel was, flag in hand, endeavoring to rally a South Carolina regiment, resolved to capture him. Riding up to the Confederate, the gallant Hammond, pointing his pistol at his head, demanded his surrender. A glance at the flying Confederates convinced the colonel that the day was lost, and he gave up his sword to the lieutenant. Two flags were also taken- one made of blue and white silk, elegantly fringed, with this inscription, ‘Then conquer we must, for our cause is just,’ with ‘Victory or death.’ The name of the Confederate officer taken was Colonel Avery; three hundred of his regiment were also captured at the same time."— Frank Leslie, 1896 Note: Clark Moulton Avery (North Carolina). In an action near New Bern, Avery was captured when the Thirty-third and Twenty-sixth North Carolina regiments, after making a valiant stand, were surrounded and overrun by the enemy. He was transported to Old Fort Columbus on Governor's Island, N.Y., and moved to Johnson's Island, Ohio, during the summer of 1862.
