“Bergeron has produced a book. . . essential to the serious Confederate scholar.”—Journal of American History In Guide to Louisiana Confederate Military Units, Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., examines the 111 artillery, cavalry, and infantry units that Louisiana furnished to the Confederate armies. No other reference has the complete and accurate record of Louisiana’s contribution to the war. For each unit, Bergeron provides a brief account of its war activities—including battles, losses, and dates of important events. He also lists the units’ field officers, the companies in each regiment or battalion, and the names of company commanders. “This book should serve as a model for studies of other states in the Civil War.”—Military History of the Southwest

This microfilm publication reproduces "an alphabetical card index to the compiled service records of volunteer soldiers of the War with Spain belonging to units from the state of Louisiana. The index contains most of the names of Louisiana soldiers to which references were found in the records used in compiling the service records. The cards give the name of the soldier, his rank, and the unit in which he served. There are cross-reference cards for soldiers' names that appeared in the records under more than one spelling."

This comprehensive history fills an important gap in the story of the Civil War. Too often the war waged west of the Mississippi River has been given short shrift by historians and scholars, who have tended to focus their attention on the great battles east of the river. This book looks in detail at the military operations that occurred in Louisiana—most of them minor skirmishes, but some of them battles and campaigns of major importance. The Civil War in Louisiana begins with the first talk of secession in the state and ends with the last tragic days of the war. John D. Winters describes with great fervor and detail such events as the fall of Confederate New Orleans and the burning of Alexandria. In addition to military action, Winters discusses the political, economic, and social aspects of the war in Louisiana. His accounts of battles and the men who waged them provide a fuller story of Louisiana in the Civil War than has ever before been told.
