6th Louisiana, "Irish Rebels, Confederate Tigers, The History of the Sixth Regiment of Louisiana Infantry, 1861-1865," by James Gannon. Published in 1998 by Savas Publishing Company and distributed nationally by Stackpole Books, this is a 380 page narrative of the origins of the regiment and its experiences in the war (in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, which includes nearly every battle in the Eastern Theater including Jackson's Valley Campaign, the Seven Days Battles, Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Petersburg, Gettysburg, and at Appomattox) plus more than 100 pages of detailed roster info, with biographies of each of the 1,215 men of the regiment. The book reflects the fact that the regiment was composed mainly of Irish immigrants from New Orleans. It is the first regimental history of this unit. Best of luck to Jim in his new endeavor.
