soldiers are faceless to us today. But there were many who took portraits. Some of the images are still around. The goal of this book is to put a face behind the Rapides names who served during this historic time of Central and the nation. Period and post war photos were located of over 90 young men from Rapides which make the basis of this book. The book includes a little biography and service record of each man. From the top brass of the generals to the private from the back bayou this book offers a chance to look into the eyes of a variety of Cenla soldiers. Soldiers include: ALLBRIGHT John Adrine ARCHINARD Capt. E. R. KIA ARMSTRONG Mr. & Mrs. James M. BAILEY Joseph built dam BAILLIO Ferdinand Cav BAILLIO Sosthene Washington Art. BARKER Thomas Co.
