Union hospitals at Baton Rouge

[Dick Straubel]

My great grandfather was wounded in the Battle of Port Hudson and recovered (according to his memoirs) at a Union hospital in Baton Rouge. I understand hospitals in Baton Rouge were usually schools.

Anyone know the locations and names of Union Hospitals in Baton Rouge?

Welcome!

Until someone with better info comes along, I did find this old thread from 2012 that might get you started.

Excellent question. Hopefully, someone will be along shortly who can answer.

The Old State Capitol building was used as a hospital.
