About the Book

This book is the culmination of over forty years of collecting old photographs by the author in Avoyelles Parish. The faces of about 150 of these soldiers or Civil War participants are the largest collection of its type. The rarest of the photographs depict local soldiers in uniform, some bearing arms. There are also portraits of two Avoyelles men who were among the hundreds of local young men who died in the war.Over 1000 men from Avoyelles served during the war. Bordered by two rivers, the rich soil of the Mississippi and Red River valleys enabled large and many small plantations. Avoyelles gave its share of soldiers on both sides of the battlefield. About 100 of its citizens gave their lives either during a battle or from disease. Many of the local men were in one of a handful of units which were formed in Avoyelles. These French speaking soldiers spread out and collectively fought in just about every battle in the war, from Gettysburg to Mansura.Portraits include: Palmire Boyer AmetPrudent AymondFB BaillioAristide BarbinLudger BarbinEvariste BarreHeber BennettMansuel BennettJoseph BettevyDr. James K BondEdmond BonnettEmile BordelonGervais BordelonLouis Landry BordelonPierre Auge BordelonRemi BordelonSt James BordelonDavid French BoydAlonzo Lucien BoyerBenoit BrouilletteAlcide CailleteauSerge CallegariCapt.
