From Bergeron, La. Confed. Units, 106:

"This regiment was formed at Shelbyville, Tennessee, on November 30, 1862, with an aggregate strength of 1,075 men [from consolidation of the 13th and 20th regiments Infantry].  The regiment was heavily involved in the Battle of Murfreesboro; 187 of its men were killed, wounded, or missing on December 31, 1862, and 129 on January 2, 1863.  The names of 22 men were placed on the government's Roll of Honor for gallant conduct in the battle.  The regiment spent the winter and spring near Tullahoma.  In late May, the regiment went to Jackson, Mississippi, to join General Joseph E. Johnston's army.  The men saw some fighting in the Siege of Jackson, July 5-25, and retreated with the army to Morton.  Returning to the Army of Tennessee in late August, the regiment participated in the Battle of Chickamauga, September 19-20, and captured an enemy battery during one attack.  On November 25, the regiment fought in the Battle of Missionary Ridge. During the winter and early spring, the men occupied camps near Dalton, Georgia.  They fought at Resaca, May 14-15, and at New Hope Church, May 25, during the Atlanta Campaign.  On July 28, the regiment lost heavily in the Battle of Ezra Church.  The regiment accompanied the army in its invasion of Tennessee and fought in the Battle of Nashville, December 15-16.  In February, 1865, at Mobile, Alabama, the regiment was broken up.  The men of the 13th Louisiana were consolidated with those of the 4th and 30th Louisiana regiments and the 14th Louisiana Battalion Sharpshooters; the men of the 20th Louisiana were combined with the remains of the 1st Louisiana Regulars and the 16th Louisiana."
