Transfer from 21st AL Inf. to 1st LA Inf.
Thu Feb 8 10:16:29 2001


In Ken Jones' short history of the 21st AL it states the following:

"In the summer ('62?), the regiment was ordered to Mobile and was on garrison duty at Fort Morgan and at Oven and Choctaw Bluffs. Non-commissioned officers and men of companies "G" and "H", predominantly of French and Spanish ancestry, were transferred to the 1st Louisiana Infantry Regiment, and two other companies joined the 21st on 24 March 1864."

Does anyone know which 1st Louisiana Inf. this was? I would imagine Strawbridge's. Did these companies remain intact and what as their designation in the 1st Louisiana?
