Headquarters, 1st Louisiana Infantry Battalion
March 4th, 1861

To my Brother in Arms,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits, for I bring news that calls us all to duty in a time of great need. The winds of war have swept across our land, and our beloved South finds itself standing in defense of the rights, traditions, and honor that have long been the backbone of our way of life. Our very future is at stake, and it is for this cause that I write to you today, inviting you to join the ranks of the 1st Louisiana Infantry Battalion.

The time has come for every true son of Louisiana to stand firm in the face of those who would see us divided and enslaved to powers foreign to our own soil. The Battalion you are being asked to join is made up of brave men from all across our proud state—each one of us willing to lay down our lives to protect the land we hold dear, from the marshes of the Bayou to the fields of sugarcane and beyond. You, my friend, would be among the first to answer the call, and together we will carry the spirit of Louisiana wherever duty demands.

We are a force formed not just of soldiers, but of brothers. Our colors fly high with the pride of our families, and the strength of our heritage fills every man who steps forward. You would find yourself armed with rifle and courage, ready to face the challenge of battle as we fight for the Southern cause—one that is as old as our grand fathers, fought on fields of honor, steeped in tradition.

As a member of the 1st Louisiana Infantry Battalion, you will be trained, organized, and equipped to fight with the determination and fortitude that marks the very spirit of our people. Your training will make you a soldier—prepared for the hardships of war and the sacrifice it demands. But more than that, it will make you part of a family, bound together by a common cause.

I ask you to join us, for our cause is righteous, and the defense of our homes, our kin, and our way of life is worth every hardship we may face. Let your heart stir with pride as we take the field in the name of Louisiana, and know that the strength of our battalion rests not just in our arms but in our hearts.

The first battle awaits, and the 1st Louisiana Infantry Battalion calls upon you to stand beside us. Will you answer the call? Will you take up the honor of being a Louisiana soldier?

Your devoted comrade,
William M. Lodère (Root)
1st Louisiana Infantry Battalion

P.S. Remember, Louisiana’s honor cannot be taken lightly. The time for action is now—our homes need us. Let us march together, proud and unyielding, for the South and for the honor of our state.
