General Louis Hebert, CSA

Came across a bit on this general from Louisiana who was at Fort Fisher.

Born 1820and died 1901. After Vicksburg, he commanded heavy artillery at Fort Fisher and was Chief Engineer of the Department of North Carolina. After the war, he was a newspaper editor and school teacher.

He was buried on private land, and, with the assistance of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, in October 2002, was disinterred and moved to St. Joseph's Cemetery in Cecilia, Louisiana.

There are nice photos of the reburial at
