Frank Goyette, Private, Company E, 15th Louisiana Infantry, received his extra duty pay, December 10, 1862 at Guiney’s Station, Virginia. Guiney’s Station/Depot was located on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad (RF&P), approximately 10 miles south of Fredericksburg, Virginia.

On the morning of December 12, 1862 Col. Pendleton’s brigade marched from Guiney’s Station [HQ Jackson’s Division]
for the scene of the operations around Fredericksburg participating the next two days in the Battle of Fredericksburg.

“Although my command was not at any time closely engaged, it was three times subjected to a sharp fire, and was throughout the days of the 13th and 14th in constant expectation of being brought into action. Under these circumstances every man remained firm at his post; not a straggler was to be seen leaving the ranks, and all evinced a commendable eagerness to engage the enemy, which need only opportunity to ripen into the gallantry heretofore so conspicuous in the troops from Louisiana. . . The casualties of my brigade have been heretofore reported at 2 killed and 35 wounded.
