by Thomas H. Richey (Author)
The Tirailleurs was a company of soldiers from Brusly Landing, West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. They were mostly Acadians and fought gallantly for the Southern Cause. This book follows them through the Civil War and uses diaries, letters, and memoirs to allow the soldiers to tell their own story. From a bloodbath at Shiloh's Hornet's, Nest, we follow them through the terrible debacle at the Battle of Nashville.
Tirailleurs is the first definitive history of the 4th Louisiana Infantry, CSA. Over sixteen hundred men served in the 4th LA and are all listed by company in the book s appendix making it an excellent genealogical resource.
