From Bergeron, La. Confed. Units, 73-74:
"This regiment was organized in New Orleans on April 28, 1861, and received orders to go to Richmond, Virginia. From that city, the regiment went to Norfolk. The men remained in the area until early 1862, when they moved into North Carolina. They arrived on the field too late to participate in the skirmish at South Mills on April 19. The remained at Weldon until late May, when it returned to Richmond. During the Seven Days' Battles, the regiment fought at King's Schoolhouse, June 25, and at Malvern Hill, July 1; 214 men were killed, wounded, or missing in those battles. On July 26, the regiment was placed in the 2nd Louisiana Brigade with the 2nd, 9th, 10th, and 15th regiments and the 1st Zouave Battalion. The men fought in the Battle of 2nd Manassas, August 29-30, and in the Battle of Sharpsburg, September 17. At the Battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, the regiment was only lightly engaged and only a few men were wounded. The men participated in the attack by General Stonewall Jackson on the Union army's right flank in the Battle of Chancellorsville, May 2, 1863. Thrown into the attack again the next day, the regiment lost about 46 of 125 men engaged during the two days. At the Battle of Winchester, June 15, the regiment remained in reserve and only 1 man was wounded. The regiment fought in the attck on Culp's Hill, July 2-3, during the Battle of Gettysburg. Returning to Virginia, the regiment participated in the Bristoe Station Campaign, October 9-22, and Mine Run Campaign, November 26-December 2. At the Battle of Payne's Farm, November 27, the regiment lost about 28 of the 112 men engaged. The regiment fought at the Wilderness, May 5, and at Spotsylvania, May 7-20. In the latter battle, the enemy overran the brigade's position on May 12 and captured most of the men of the regiment. As part of General John B. Gordon's division, the remnants of the regiment participated in General Jubal Early's campaigns in the Shenandoah Valley during the summer and fall. So heavy had the casualties been that the regiment was consolidated with the 14th Louisiana Infantry Regiment during this time period. By late December, the brigade had rejoined General Robert E. Lee's army at Petersburg. The men served in the trenches around that city until it was evacuated, on April 2, 1865. When Lee surrendered at Appomattox on April 9, the regiment had only 1 officer and 18 enlisted men present for duty. Of the approximately 960 men enrolled during the war, approximately 162 were killed in battle, 74 died of disease, and 1 was killed by accident. Some 88 men deserted the regiment."
