Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  CHARLES DURAND, Co. B, 28th Conn., had been residing in Stamford for a few
years, and when he volunteered was engaged as keeper of the Cornucopia
Restaurant. He was a resolute and courageous soldier and officer. One of the
detail for the assault on Port Hudson, of June 14, 1864, he fell almost
immediately on the sounding of the charge, while urging on his men. His remains
were recovered under a flag of truce, and buried near the picket fence.
