Alabama Boys Serving in Louisiana

Many Alabama Boys served in the 12th LA Inf. Reg't.

"The comfortable inclusion of the 12th Louisiana with all of the Alabama regiments in Scott’s Brigade may have reflected the fact that a great many of these Louisiana volunteers had extended family living in Alabama."

My gg-grandfather Richard Henry Sanderson from Plantersville, AL was in Louisiana at the onset of the war, presumably farming newly opened lands. He joined the Confederate Army and served in Co. A of the 12th LA Inf.
After the war he returned home to Plantersville.
