The Battle of Irish Bend--Battlefield Louisiana

[@chetfuller6253]

Thanks for making this video, was in the middle of reading the battle in the bayou country by Morris Rapheal and thought maybe someone might of made video and here you are. Much easier to understand what happened. Loved ❤ the video. Might have to stop in area next spring to check it out.

As a child my big cousin expressed she saw this in live action (seemingly impossible) while on a school bus. I have subconsciously been looking for proof of this since I was a child now this finally makes sense. This happened in the territory that is on our route to school. We would go from the town or neighborhood of the St. Joseph community into Franklin.

I enjoyed the first video as well as this one. I’ll be looking forward to the next video in your series. Thank you very much for taking the time to keep our local history alive.

My 3rd great uncle was in the 26th ME and was one of the KIA.

[@92thrasher]

Interesting information. My 3rd great grandfather was actually in the 159th NY regiment.

My 3x great grandfather (and his 3 younger brothers) were all members of the 26th Maine, and luckily all 4 survived the war.

Any 8dea where they crossed the basin? I just got into metal detecting and would love to trace their route

Contact me at the Acadian Cultural Center in Lafayette if you are interested in some assistance with future Civil War videos in Acadiana or Louisiana.

My southern ancestor was one of the 70 you mentioned that was captured by the Union. He was a camp surgeon with the 2nd cavalry. I don't find anything else on him until after the war when he's back at home in Natchitoches. Where would they have been held?

[@christopherguidry6005]

I don't know if this would help but my great great grandpa served int he 18th La. Inf. and was captured in the Battle of Bayou Teche. Records show that he was subsequently sent to New Orleans to be used in a prisoner exchange.

[@gscottthorn2388]

What was his name? I've a considerable amount of research records on Taylor's Army and there are rosters of some captured officers among them.

Great

Can u do 1 on the battle of OPELOUSAS???

[@lorencklein]

The final episode in the series covers the Confederate withdrawal and Union occupation of Opelousas. I'll probably do a video about the Texas Overland Expedition where the Battle of Opelousas took place, but my issue is trying to frame the narrative together because the Union simply marched through the same area as the Bayou Teche campaign, so it's hard to put something together that's more unique.

[@terrellbrown7556]

[@terrellbrown7556]
