LAST OF MUSTER ROLLS LOUISIANA DEMOCRAT FINISHES THE PUBLICATION OF
THE RAPIDES COMPANIES.  Originally formed as "McWaters Rangers" 
 
The following is taken from the Louisiana Democrat: 
It shows that Rapides parish furnished the Confederacy thirteen companies,  
composed of 1,107 officers and men, a greater number we believe, than any other 
parish of the State, save and excepting the Parish of Orleans. The bones
of a large majority of these soldiers lie bleaching on every battle field from Virginia to Texas. Hence, it is meet and proper that the Parish of Rapides should erect a monument to perpetuate the memory of those who sacrificed their lives in behalf of the annals of the civilized world.
