Volume 1: Surnames Aaron through BrinkleyAndrew Booth's monumental work was originally published in 1920. This multi-volume edition contains the results of years of his work in compiling the service records of soldiers in the hundred of Louisiana units into an alphabetized book form. Several thousand young men from Louisiana served during the Civil War, and Booth attempted to list them in one convenient source. Booth's original has been edited and republished for the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. It has long been recognized as an authoritive source for Civil War service history of soldiers from the Pelican state.It is important to note that if soldier is not listed in this work, it does not mean they did not serve. Many records were lost or destroyed during or at the end of the war. Also, be aware that phrases such as "absent without leave" many times meant the soldier had left to another unit. Many of original records used by Andew Booth were visited by this editor in recent years where they are in storage at Jacson Barracks in New Orleans. Several old filing cabinets hold the records, and the archivist felt at the time of the visit there were many additions which could be made to the original work. The records survived the flood waters of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

William Henry King began war service in 1862 in Louisiana and ended it in 1865 in Camden, Arkansas. During this period he chronicled action in the Trans-Mississippi theater, producing a diary that yields one of the most important accounts from a Confederate enlisted man. No Pardons to Ask, Nor Apologies to Make is a gritty look into the life of a soldier, with no romantic gloss. While most journals record the mundane day-to-dayroutine, King's consistently detailed entries-notable for their literary style, King's venomous wit, and his colorful descriptions-cover a wide array of matters pertaining to the Confederate experience in the West. King's observations about his superiors, the Confederacy, contraband, and the underreported Trans-Mississippi campaign are especially striking. Though his long service demonstrates a certain loyalty to the Confederate cause, he writes sharp criticisms of his superiors, of military discipline, and of contemporaneous social and class conditions. His discontent is rooted within a fiery sense of independence that conflicts with centralized authority, whether it takes the form of military, government, or class control. Few published diaries capture the tension and turmoil that existed in the Southern ranks or the class resentment that festered in some quarters of the Confederacy. No Pardons to Ask, Nor Apologies to Make makes an important contribution to understanding how class functioned in the Confederate command and also provides a much-needed account of action in the Trans-Mississippi theater, where the primary sources are extremely slim.
