Reseña del libro "Pointe Coupee Portraits of Blue and Gray: The faces of some of the soldiers and citizens whose were part of the Civil War in Pointe Coupee (en Inglés)"
Pointe Coupee provided hundreds of its men to the Confederate Army. As the talk of war began in 1861, several units of soldiers formed in Pointe Coupee. Some stayed in the area as local militia. Others left to join regiments of the Confederate Army. The goal of this booklet was to put an image to a name in an effort to give more identity to the war in Pointe Coupee. Regretfully most will remain faceless. The local men tended to be from one of the locally organized units. Among the companies formed in made up largely of soldiers from or identified with Pointe Coupee were: Fausse River Guards Grosse Tete Flying Art. 6th Field Battery Morgan's Cav. Nixon Rifles Pointe Coupee Art. Battalion Pointe Coupee Creoles Pointe Coupee Light Inf. Pointe Coupee Regiment Pointe Coupee Volontiers Porche's Cav.
