Samuel Briggs Todd of the Crescent Regiment-- Part 2

The two mainstays of Mouton's Brigade were the 18th and 24th (Crescent) Louisiana regiments.

These two regiments were brigaded together at Corinth during the Confederate buildup before the Battle of Shiloh.  They were a part of Col. Preston Pond's  Brigade and fought at the Battle of Shiloh together.

Following Shiloh, the two regiments took part in the Siege of Corinth and accompanied the army in its retreat to Tupelo.  From there, they eventually made it back to Louisiana

The 24th Louisiana disbanded at the conclusion of their 90 day enlistment in June.  It reorganized under Richard Taylor in southern Louisiana.

During this time, Alfred Mouton was recovering from a facial wound he received at the Battle of Shiloh.
