The Regiment was formed at Camp Moore, La., in May 1861 and served on the Mississippi Gulf Coast until 1862, when it was ordered to Jackson, Tenn., to reinforce General Beauregard's army. The regiment fought in the battles of Shiloh (Tenn.), and Baton Rouge (La.) in 1862; New Hope Church, Peachtree Creek, Ezra Church, and Jonesboro (Ga.) in 1864.
In 1864 they were consolidated with the 30th La. Infantry Regiment for the invasion of Tennessee, and later with the 13th and 30th La. Regiments and 14th La. Battalion Sharpshooters. They surrendered at Meridian, Miss., in May 1865.
