I am attempting to find out which battle my 1st Louisiana Infantry Regiment relative was involved in when he was wounded (on April 2, 1865). He eventually died of his wounds on April 21, 1865.
We don't know what battle he received his wounds in, nor where he died. I tried to find out if he might have been taken to a hospital and passed away there, but no avail.
I am trying to discern where the few members left of the Louisiana Infantry found themselves (battle-wise) near Appomattox during the last few days of the Confederacy. I have heard of mixed locations (Fort Gregg, Fort Mahone, Fort Stedman, or Sutherland Station). Would anyone have any idea where they would have been placed? I have tried to find a map with details, but no such luck.
