159th Regiment: 2 Questions

Hi, everybody. My great-granduncle, John Higgins, was a corporal in the 159th New York infantry. He was killed in May, 1863, in New Orleans, LA, but my grandfather's research notes say "Irish Bend, LA." Is Irish Bend part of New Orleans?

Other question: I'd like to find out if any photos of John Higgins exist, either of John alone in uniform or a group shot of him in his regiment. Can someone recommend a good source for this? Please advise. Thanks.

Clare Higgins
