Tsouras @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } AMERICAN ENTRENCHMENTS, PORTLAND, MAINE, 1:55 AM, OCTOBER 24, 1863The early morning cold of a hard autumn seemed to bite to the bone. The breath of the entire Maine Division rose in vapor wisps as they stood silent in their ranks, broken down into their sequenced assault groups. Almost three thousand veteran men in blue and another two thousand militia, men hardened quickly in the two weeks of siege, waited behind the city's landward defenses. Two days of intensive preparation had readied them for the supreme effort - the sortie to break the siege.The opportunity for such a desperate measure had leaped almost instantly into Chamberlain's mind when his interrogation of the Canadian lieutenant revealed how weak the force guarding the British fortifications was. He must strike before Doyle returned with his division. With luck, Sedgwick would win, and that would be the end to the threat to Portland. If not, then the sortie must succeed to give the garrison a new lease on life.
