Interesting stuff, Dan! The whole N.O. Fire Dept. story during the war is intriquing. I'll have muster rolls and some scattered facts about both the LA Fire Battalion/Regiment and the Orleans Fire Battalion/Regiment ready to email out to any interested parties pretty soon. Nothing earth-shattering; just the basics. Also, I'll have a brief history of the Violett Guards and their muster roll and extracted Compiled Military Service Records ready to email to anyone who's interested pretty soon. Still wonder what your particular interest is or what motivated your interest in these companies/units! -- Jim Huffman, Violett Guards, Co. K, 6th La. Inf. Vols
