From Bergeron, La. Confed. Units, 96-98:

"This regiment was organized at Camp Moore on July 22, 1861, with 796 men, by the addition of five companies to the 2nd Louisiana Special Battalion.  The regiment went to Virginia and received orders to report to the Army of the Peninsula at Yorktown.  On April 16, 1862, the regiment moved to support units engaged with the enemy at Dam No. 1, or Lee's Mills.  The men skirmished with the enemy on May 4 at Williamsburg.  During the Seven Days' Battles, the men saw no fighting until July 1 at Malvern Hill.  In that battle, the regiment was the only Confederate unit to penetrate the Federal lines; 87 of its men were killed, wounded, or missing.  On July 26, the regiment was brigaded with the 1st, 2nd, 9th, and 15th Louisiana regiments and with Coppens' Zouave Battalion.  The men participated in the Battle of Cedar Mountain, August 9, and in the 2nd Manassas Campaign, August 28-30.  After witnessing the capture of Harper's Ferry, the regiment fought in the Battle of Sharpsburg, September 17; 57 of its men were killed, wounded, or missing.  The men were in reserve during the Battle of Fredericksburg, December 13.  On May 2, 1863, the brigade participated in General Stonewall Jackson's attack on the Federal right flank at Chancellorsville.  The next day, the men again attacked the enemy; and in the two days of fighting, approximately 94 men became casualties.  On June 15, the regiment and the 2nd Louisiana Regiment captured 1,000 Federals near Winchester.  The men participated in the attacks on Culp's Hill at Gettysburg, July 2-3, and suffered 116 casualties.  By July 17, only 109 officers and enlisted men were still present for duty.  The regiment fought in the Bristoe Station Campaign, October 9-22, and in the Mine Run Campaign, November 26-December 2.  On May 5, 1864, the regiment was engaged in the Battle of the Wilderness.  The enemy overran the brigade at the Mule Shoe during the Battle of Spotsylvania, May 12, and 56 men of the regiment were captured.  On June 3, the Federals captured the regiment's flag during the Battle of Cold Harbor.  The few remaining men accompanied the brigade to the Shenandoah Valley in mid-June.  There they fought in the following battles and engagements:  Monocacy, July 9; Cedar Creek, August 12; Leetown, August 25; Winchester, September 19; Fisher's Hill, September 21-22; and Cedar Creek, October 19.  Following these battles, the remnants of the regiment were consolidated with the remnants of the 15th Louisiana into a single company.  The brigade rejoined General Robert E. Lee's army at Petersburg in December.  The regiment participated in the attack on Fort Steadman on March 25, 1865.  When Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House, on April 9, Colonel Waggaman commanded the remnants of the two Louisiana brigades in the army.  Three officers and 13 enlisted men of the regiment were paroled.  The regiment had a total enrollment of 845 men.  During the war, 142 men were killed, 58 died of disease, 3 were murdered, and 2 died in accidents."
