Confederate Military History of Louisiana Louisiana in the Civil War, 1861-1865
ITEM DESCRIPTION:On January 26, 1861, Louisiana became the sixth state to secede from the Union and join the Confederate States of America. Upon secession, the citizens of the Pelican State began the organization of troops to defend Louisiana and the newly created Confederacy. Soldiers were sent to all corners of the Confederacy-from Florida to Virginia to Tennessee to Arkansas-serving proudly and nobly for their state. Others stayed home and ably defended Louisiana against Union invasion and occupation. Topics in "Confederate Military History of Louisiana" include (but are not limited to): secession, organization of troops, occupation of the Baton Rouge arsenal, Forts Jackson and St. Philip, the fall of New Orleans, Benjamin F. Butler's occupation, William B. Mumford, Battle of Baton Rouge, CSS Louisiana, CSS Arkansas, Richard Taylor in Louisiana, Vicksburg Campaign, Battle of Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, Monett's Ferry, Fall of Mobile, Louisiana troops in the Army of Tennessee, Louisiana troops in the Army of Northern Virginia, Harry T. Hays' brigade, Appomattox. The final chapter includes a section on chaplains and one on "the Sacrifices of the Women." An index is included for easier use. ISBN: 1932157506
