So I am currently looking at going to Louisiana next month I was wondering if there some good civil war battlefields or sites.
Port Hudson. Camp Moore. Mansfield. Confederate Memorial Hall and Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans.So I am currently looking at going to Louisiana next month I was wondering if there some good civil war battlefields or sites.
Pretty much all that's left of battlefields accessible to the public, besides Port Hudson and Mansfield, is historical markers and a few monuments.So I am currently looking at going to Louisiana next month I was wondering if there some good civil war battlefields or sites.
I believe skirting Lake Charles, getting a view of Lake Ponchartrain, and just looking into the topography of Louisiana could hold your attention. I have hiked up to Alexandria, on to Monroe, and crossed over into Vicksburg back about March-April of 1990. It is a beautiful State. There I was, in midday under a small bridge over a creek bed, where the road was maybe 10 feet higher than the marshy lands surrounding me. I was taking a break from the heat of the day, sitting on the under-support rocks, reading the Book Of Daniel (best library there is) when a wild stripped leopard of some cat species (bobcat etc). happened by. It took fright and so did I. Just a story to enjoy. Pleasant memories; I hope you enjoy your trip.So I am currently looking at going to Louisiana next month I was wondering if there some good civil war battlefields or sites.

Entering Louisiana on a main highway, stop at the travel center. They have a large "Civil War in Louisiana" brochure folded like a state map. It includes a map showing locations and synopsis of everything you wanted to know about the CW in Louisiana but was afraid to ask.So I am currently looking at going to Louisiana next month I was wondering if there some good civil war battlefields or sites.
