25th Regiment Infantry

[Companies A B C D E F G H I K]

From Bergeron, La. Confed. Units, 133-34:

"This regiment was organized March 26, 1862, at New Orleans with 1,018 men. Ordered to Corinth, Mississippi, the regiment traveled by steamer to Memphis and from there by train to its destination. The men arrived at Corinth on April 11 and later marched to Monterey, Tennessee. During the operations around Corinth the next month, the regiment participated in several skirmishes. On May 9, the men saw their first battle at Farmington, at which 2 men were killed and 29 were wounded. The regiment's brigade commander wrote that the men 'behaved like veterans' during the engagement. When Corinth was evacuated, the regiment marched to Tupelo and remained in camp there until August. The men then went with the army on its invasion of Kentucky and fought in the Battle of Perryville, October 8. On November 30, the regiment was consolidated into five companies and united with the 16th Louisiana Regiment to form the 16th and 25th Louisiana Consolidated Regiment. This unit was broken up on February 3, 1865, and the men of the 25th Louisiana were merged with those of the 4th Louisiana Battalion. They fought in the Siege of Spanish Fort near Mobile, Alabama, March 27-April 8. After the evacuation of Mobile, the 25th was consolidated again. Companies A, B, E, G, I, and K became Company B, and Companies C, D, F, and H became Company C, Pelican Regiment. This unit surrendered at Gaineville on May 8."
