From Bergeron, La. Confed. Units, 126-27:

"The regiment was organized at New Orleans on March 28, 1862, with 961 men.  The men were trained to operate heavy artillery pieces, and they occupied several fortifications along the Louisiana coast during the Federal campaign against New Orleans.  Company A was at Fort Pike and Companies B and C at Fort Macomb.  Company D manned the ten guns at Battery Bienvenue.  Company E held Tower Dupre, and Company F occupied the Proctorsville Battery.  Companies H and I made up part of the garrison at Fort Jackson.  The men of the two latter companies became prisoners when the fort surrendered on April 27.  On April 25, Company F participated in the engagement with the Federal fleet at the McGehee Lines opposite Chalmette.  The regiment reorganized at Camp Moore on May 24 and formed four companies.  From Camp Moore, the regiment went to Vicksburg, Mississippi, and served in the river batteries there during the first Federal attack on the city, which ended on July 27.  The four companies were consolidated into two and remained this way until November.  At that time, the regiment moved to Snyder's Bluff above Vicksburg on the Yazoo River, and the four companies were restored to their separate organizations.  Some of the men captured at Fort Jackson and at New Orleans joined the regiment at Snyder's Bluff.  Enough men reported to necessitate the formation of a fifth company.  The regiment fired on Federal gunboats and forced them to retreat on December 27.  About January, 1863, the regiment's designation was changed to the 21st Louisiana Regiment.  A detachment from the regiment participated in the defense of Fort Pemberton on the upper Yazoo River, March 11-17.  The regiment repulsed a naval and land attack on Snyder's Bluff, April 30-May 1.  When General Ulysses S. Grant's Union army neared Vicksburg, the regiment evacuated the works at Snyder's Bluff and reported for duty at the city.  During the Siege of Vicksburg, May 19-July 4, the regiment, reinforced by two companies of the 22nd (old 23rd) Louisiana Regiment, held an earthwork on the Jackson Road known as Great Redoubt, or Fort Beauregard.  During the siege, 16 men were killed, 50 were wounded, and 1 deserted.  After the surrender, the men went into a parole camp at Enterprise.  They remained there until January 26, 1864, at which time they were merged with the remnants of seven other regiments to form the 22nd Louisiana Consolidated Regiment."
