Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 31st Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment was one of only a handful of New England units to serve in Louisiana and the Gulf region during the Civil War, and, of those, it remained there the longest. Its soldiers, most of whom were impressionable young men from small towns in central and western Massachusetts, assumed numerous roles, functioning as infantry, cavalry, and mounted infantry when needed. The regiment operated as an army of occupation; participated in siege warfare at Port Hudson, Louisiana; marched and fought in long field operations such as the Red River campaign; engaged in guerrilla warfare; and garrisoned coastal defense fortifications. It also had the distinction of being the first Federal unit to enter and occupy New Orleans. Larry Lowenthal’s authoritative history of the 31st is the first comprehensive examination of this remarkable regiment and its men. When veterans of the unit attempted to write its history in the late nineteenth century, they were not able to complete the task, but they did collect a large quantity of primary-source materials and deposited them in a Springfield, Massachusetts, museum. Lowenthal’s work draws heavily from that unpublished cache. Among the documents are highly personal letters, diaries, and first-person recollections that offer vivid and unrivaled accounts of the unit’s military experiences, as well as its soldiers’ impressions of the people and physical conditions they encountered in Louisiana. The men also offer their unvarnished opinions on a variety of subjects. Lowenthal, a longtime historian and former U.S. National Park Service employee, relays many of the stories in the soldiers’ own words. Their impressions of the South—which they viewed as essentially a foreign country—are highly revealing. Critical issues such as slavery and abolition, as well as more private matters such as personal experiences and military life, are also discussed. To all of this, Lowenthal brings a modern perspective, presenting a crucial picture of the period’s people and their views of the South and active military life. A Yankee Regiment in Confederate Louisiana is a welcome addition to the literature on occupied Louisiana and the Union Army’s service in the Gulf South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ninth Regiment of Louisiana Volunteers was organized and sworn in at Camp Moore, Louisiana, on July 6, 1861. Of the ten companies, six had joined for the duration of the war and the remainder (which included Company D) for a period of twelve months. The regiment, which was commanded by Colonel Richard Taylor, was immediately dispatched to Virginia but arrived too late to be engaged at the First Battle of Manassas. So many men had fallen to disease that by the early spring of 1862, the entire Confederate Army was re-organized and the 9th Louisiana Infantry Regiment joined with the 6th, 7th, 8th Regiments and Wheat's Battalion under the command of Brig. Gen. Richard Taylor with Col. Leroy Augustus Stafford in command of the 9th Louisiana Infantry. Known as "The Louisiana Brigade" Taylor's Brigade was placed in General Richard Ewell's Division and joined the command of General Stonewall Jackson. During the “Valley Campaign” between May 7 and June 9, 1862 it was engaged at Somerville Heights, Front Royal, Middletown, First Winchester, Front Royal, Mount Carmel, Cross Keys, and the “Coaling” at Port Republic. Following the Seven Day's battles, the Louisiana Brigage followed Jackson to Second Manassas, Antietam and finally Fredericksburg. Following Jackson's death, they followed Lee to Gettysburg, Spottsylvania and the siege of Petersburg. Of the twelve thousand Louisiana men who came to Virginia in 1861 and 1862, the Louisiana Tigers had 373 men on duty when the folded their colors at Appomattox. The 9th Louisiana Regiment was the largest remaining regiment among them with a compliment of 68 men. They surrendered but were never defeated.
