Re: Towns destroyed during the War

Steve, some towns that were totally or at least partially destroyed include Baton Rouge (during the battle and then looted), Lake Providence (flooded by Grant's canal projects); Richmond (parish seat of Madison P. burned during Vicksburg Campaign); Grand Ecore (Red River port of Natchitoches), Campti, and a few buildings in Natchitoches and Cloutierville (burned during Red River Campaign); and Trinity (modern-day Jonesville, shelled by Union gunboats).
