Guide to Louisiana Confederate Military Units, 1861--1865 (Southern Literary Studies)

Description

In Guide to Louisiana Confederate Military Units, Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., examines the 111 artillery, cavalry, and infantry divisions that Louisiana furnished to the Confederate armies. For each unit, he provides a brief account of its combat activities and lists the outfits' field officers, the companies in each regiment or battalion, and the names of company commanders. A comprehensive index helps locate the hundreds of officers and military subdivisions mentioned in the guide. And a bibliographic essay discusses the major government documents, archival material, and published sources Bergeron used in preparing this original and substantial contribution to Civil War literature.
