Summary
| Description |
English:
Lt. Pierre Toutant Gustave Beauregard, ca. 1845-1846. Attributed to Alexander Charles Jaume (French 1813-1858), Presbytère, Louisiana State Museum. Note: One of the most notable Louisianians to serve in the Civil War was P. G. T. Beauregard, a graduate of West Point and the Confederacy's first brigadier general. As commander of the Confederate forces at Charleston, S. C., Beauregard ordered the bombardment of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, firing the first shot of the Civil War. Like many Civil War troops and officers, Beauregard received his early combat experience in the Mexican War of 1846-1848.
Français :
Un Louisianais des plus notables ayant servi dans la guerre civile, P.G. T. Beauregard est un diplômé de West Point et le premier brigadier-général de la Confédération. Le 12 Avril 1861, en tant que commandant des forces confédérées à Charleston, Carfoline du Sud, Beauregard ordonna le bombardement de Fort Sumter: ce fut le premier tir de la guerre civile. Comme beaucoup de soldats et d'officiers de la guerre civile, Beauregard s'initia au combat lors de la guerre américano-mexicaine de 1846 à 1848.
