Subject: Re: Genealogy & CSA Military Service

Louis Thomas Robertson joined Company B, Wauls Texas Legion as a private in September 1862 after service in the Texas State Militia, CSA. There are also indications he may have been a part of the 26th Texas Infantry, CSA, a three month unit, just prior to his joining Wauls Legion. He served until the end of the war and was present at Vicksburg during the 47 day seige that led to Pemberton's surrender of the Army of Vicksburg to U.S. Grant on July 4th, 1863. He also participated at the Battle of the Railroad Cut at Vicksburg where he and members of Company B re-took the Cut from advancing Union troops of the 88th Illinois Infantry.

His father, Jesse Wiley Robertson was also part of the Texas State Militia but records are sketchy on his service in Willis' Cavalry Regiment which was the cavalry arm of Wauls Legion. After Vicksburg, the paroled units returned to Texas and re-formed in Galveston as Company A, Steel's Regiment where they remained for the rest of the war patroling the coast as far south as Corpus Christi. They never again left Texas.

Louis' next younger brother, Burrell, also joined Company A late in the war and served about six weeks before the surrender.
