From the April 7, 2014, News-Star (Louisiana) "Presentation of Confederate General Camille Polignac.
Will be given by Daniel Frankognoul of Brussels, Belgium. The general was a Frenchman who commanded a brigade of Catahoula and Concordia parishes men and defeated six Union gunboats attacking Fort Beauregard at Harrisonburg, Louisiana, on the Ouachita River.
The presenter has done extensive research over the past 35 years and has met with descendants of participants in the Red River Campaign. By using diaries, he has come up with new descriptions of the fight at Vidalia, the repairing of Fort Beauregard and other activities in the area.
