In Response To: Hutton's Crescent Artillery ()

Sorry to be late weighing in on this, but I haven't visited the board in a few days. There was absolutely no connection between Hutton's company and the Crescent Regiment, at least none I ever found. There were a number of volunteer companies from New Orleans who used Crescent in their nicknames. There was another company from the city that called itself the Crescent Artillery. It served as Company D, 8th Louisiana Infantry Battalion. It apparently did not have any cannons when it joined that battalion. I do not know why Hutton's company is usually called Crescent Artillery, Company A.
