1862-1865

In 1862, when Federal troops captured
New Orleans and blockaded the mouth of
the Mississippi River, Confederate forces
under Maj. Gen. Richard Taylor established
headquarters in central Louisiana
where they successfully stopped
Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Banks' army in its
drive to take west Louisiana. To furnish
Taylor's army with supplies, a military
road was established from Niblett's Bluff
to Alexandria. This marker is on the route
of the Old Confederate Military Road
through Vernon Parish.
