George I dont know the exact site. I was at Gulfport 2 years ago with my Reserve Seabee Battalion before I deployed and I spent a weekend looking for the Bonnect Carre Oct 19 1862 Battle site above New Orleans. I had info passed down from My ancestor who served in Co B 9th Conn and they looted a plantation there and were attacked by Wallers Texas Cavalry unit. They tossed a bunch of confiscated weapons down a well. They had gone up the river on the USS Iberville to take hogs head of sugar from the plantation. I was in touch with a relic hunter who had dug a 9th Conn camp he recovered a bunch of Connecticut state buttons as the 9th wore frocksthrough the whole war with state buttons.I had purchased a excellant map of Miss River plantations from Jeff Davis home bookstore its the best map of that area. I got up to that site with a friend who lived in NO. That site was totally changed from 1862 due to the Spillway they built there.I just started researching the fight at Bay St Louis.Bay St Louis as someone on here stated was also called Shieldsboro. Confederate Cavalry were stationed there. If you google Shieldsboro and play around with dates your come up with some hits. When I get company H's report from a friend who runs the 9th Connecticut site I may be able to tell you more info. I know the US Navy burned a large Confederate tannary there in 1862.
