Military Record of Louisiana: Including Biographical and Historical Papers Relating to the Military Organizations of the State
Napier Bartlett's Military Record Of Louisiana is the reprint of an 1875 memoir which makes available a valuable resource on Louisiana troops' participation in the Civil War. Bartlett served throughout the war in Louisiana's elite Washington Artillery and fought in many battles in Virginia and the East. Bartlett's Military Record Of Louisiana provides much detailed information and official data concerning Louisiana units in the Confederate Army, including muster rolls of the Orleans Guard, the Thirteenth Louisiana Regiment, the Washington Artillery, and Louisiana troops who fought in Virginia, the West, and the Trans-Mississippi. It also lists the casualties of various regiments (so far as as known then) and the cemeteries where they were buried, and includes company journals and personal narratives of prominent Louisiana soldiers. Part memoir, part inventory, Military Record Of Louisiana is a storehouse of information for scholars, students, and genealogists alike. No civil war reference book collection can be considered complete without Bartlett's Military Record Of Louisiana.  --Midwest Book Review
