The Sabine Rifles were Co A 6th La.
The Sabine Rebels were Co. B 17th La.

I have been told that the flag of the Sabine Rebels was two crossed rifles. The Sabine Rebels were from Sabine Parish, and formed up near Anacoco Prairie.

“On August 29th, we fell in line in front of the (Anacoco) church house where several hundred had met to bid us good bye and when they all marched down our line and had bid us farewell we marched off to the tune of Carry Me Back To Old Virginia Shore, played on the violin by Jeff Williams.”

Then we “marched 75 miles to Alexandria on Red river, there we were taken as passengers on the steamer Roebuck for New Orleans, arriving at New Orleans, we took lodging at the St. James hotel. The next morning we were sworn into the State service, after which we took the train for Camp Moore which was the organizing and training camp for Louisiana. Camp Moore was located on the railroad line between New Orleans and Jackson, a short distance north of Lake Ponchartrain.

On arriving at Camp Moore, the 17th La. Regiment was being organized. It took 100 men for a company to get into a regiment and we only had about eighty-five men. So we sent L. J. Nash and Dave Bray back to Sabine Parish to get recruits.”
