Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report to Camp Beauregard, No; 130, U. S. C. V., 1910
During the past year Our meetings and the other events in which we partici pated and arranged have been unusually interesting, and, I think, have reflected credit upon the Camp, and have honored us in honoring the memory of those, living and dead, connected with the cause of the Confederate soldier. At our February meeting an address was made by Prof. Pierce Butler, of N'ewcomb College, in this city (son of a distinguished Confederate soldier), on Judah P. Benjamin, the great jurist and first Secretary of War in the Cabinet of President Davis. In March, Judge Albert Voorhies, the. Nestor of the Louisiana Bar, read a paper describing Shreveport, the Confederate Capital of Louisiana, which contained many hitherto little known instances of the later sixties in this State. Judge Voorhies, after the fall of New Orleans, went with the Supreme Court, of which he was a member, to Shreveport, where it held its sessions, and where the Governors of Louisiana maintained the capital of the State.
