Avoyelles Parish, with its location near the junction of the three main waterways of the Atchafalaya, Mississippi and Red Rivers, sat at the center of much activity during the Civil War. And with more than 1000 able bodies young men in its population, Avoyelles was a major supplier of troops to the Confederate cause. Several of those Avoyelles men spent time at Vicksburg, some during the great siege, others passing through to other battles, and some even being detained as prisoners of war by the Yankees. Avoyelleans at Vicksburg is an attempt to outline the names of these men from Avoyelles and the time they spent at Vicksburg.
