Re: Recruiting stations - New Orleans

As it relates to Co B, 1st La Special Battalion, Tiger Rifles, they were recruited individually into their company, in New Orleans. I believe (if memory serves me) it was on Gravier Street, between Poydras and Canal, about where the south end of the River Walk Mall is now. It is my understanding that each company would set up shop in their community and take recruits.
