Alan, yes, I have Sacher's article but haven't had a chance to look back over it again. It makes sense that Trenton (West Monroe) probably served as the conscription training camp for North Louisiana in the last year of the war because Camp Vienna closed in 1864. Although it completely escapes me where I saw it, a while back I read an excerpt from a diary kept by a young woman who lived at Trenton about the Yankees raiding the place in 1864 (I think it was when the gunboats came up the Ouachita). She mentioned some enemy encounters with local Confederate soldiers, so there must have been some men still stationed at the camp at that time.
