And Private Absalom B. Norris was serving as the Regimental Color Bearer of the 12th Louisiana at the end of the war in April 1865. He and Lieutenant Edgar N. Potts of Company F sewed the regimental flag around the waist of Regimental Adjutant Leonidas N. Polk the night before the formal surrender ceremonies. Norris then burned the flagstaff and Polk took the flag home to Bastrop. See the Flag Page to get more on this flag story. Volunteers who joined after the regiment left Camp Moore are designated by the year of their enrollment.
