Re: Camp Jackson near Vienna, LA

Powell Casey's book on Forts, Camps and Military Installations in Louisiana makes no reference to the site as Camp Jackson, only as Camp at Vienna La. It says the camp was about four miles north of Ruston as a training and assembly camp. Gray' 28th organized there about May 1862. Casey goes on to say that Brig Gen Paul O. Hebert, commanding the sub district of Louisiana, had his HQ there in October 1863. He says it was a parolee camp in 1864. I'm afraid that's all he has.
