All Rights Reserved. Richard Taylor, Lieutenant General C.S.A., is buried in Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans. He was born January 27, 1826 and died April 12, 1879. His father is President Zachary Taylor, one brother-in-law is Confederate States President Jefferson Davis, whose wife, Sarah Knox Taylor Davis is buried in Loctus Grove Cemetery. Another brother-in-law is U. S. Army Colonel William Wallace Bliss who died in 1853 and was buried in Girod Street Cemetery in New Orleans, later removed to Fort Bliss, Texas. His uncle, Union Gen. Joseph Pannell Taylor, is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D. C. His brother-in-law, Confederate General Allen Thomas , is buried in Ascension Catholic Cemetery in Donaldsonville. Another brother-in-law, Duncan Kenner , is buried in the same family tomb as Gen. Allen Thomas. He graduated from Yale in 1845 and then assisted his father, General Zachary Taylor, in the Mexican War as his military secretary. Richard suffered from rheumatoid arthritis causing his father to send him to manage his cotton plantation in Mississippi as the Mexican War continued. He married Louise Marie Myrthe Bringier of Louisiana on February 10, 1851. She was the daughter of wealthy Aglae Bringier. They had two sons, Richard and Zachary, who both died of scarlet fever during the civil war. They also had three daughters, Louise, Elizabeth and Myrthe. By 1850, Richard Taylor owned Fashion Plantation in St. Charles Parish, near present day Hahnville, La. A labor force of 200 slaves raised and harvested sugar cane and made syrup and molasses on the plantation. An 1856 freeze ruined the crop and caused a large financial loss. His father- in-law helped him financially. He was elected to the Louisiana Senate in 1855 and served until 1861. He was selected to attend the Democratic Party convention in Charleston, South Carolina which was a hotbed of secession discussions. He was opposed and made efforts to reconcile the two sides. However, representing St. Charles Parish, he soon voted for secession in the Ordinance of Secession of Louisiana adopted January 26, 1861. A family friend, Confederate General Braxton Bragg, asked Richard Taylor, a civilian, to train and organize the confederate forces that were gathering in Pensacola, Florida. And thus it began.

In this volume of biographical essays, all vividly written, extensively researched, Charles L. Dufour recounts the lives of nine Confederate officers, who served their cause with dedication, skill and bravery. “Porter Alexander is not a household name today, but he should be remembered as one of Robert E. Lee’s most valuable officers. Bold and imaginative, Alexander was an artillerist whose service was requested by every Confederate army commander. He and eight other “men in gray” come to life in vivid sketches by Charles L. Dufour. Singled out are Dick Taylor, the handsome son of former president Zachary Taylor who led the Louisiana Brigade; Turner Ashby, an expert horseman whose death in battle typified the doomed gallantry of the Rebels; Pat Cleburne of the Army of Tennessee, who was called “the Stonewall of the West”; “Savez” Read, a navy man who terrorized the Atlantic seaboard in a one-gun sailing vessel; Willie Pegram, a shy Virginian who was a bold cannoneer; Lucius B. Northrop, whose abrasive personality complicated his task of feeding the army; William Mahone, whose ferocious fighting spirit belied his bantam size; and Henry Hotze, who served brilliantly as a Confederate agent and propagandist.”-Print ed..

During this brief fifty year time period, several hundred garden cemeteries were developed across the country in response to a variety of sanitary, social, and cultural conditions. While garden cemeteries were initially developed outside large northeastern metropolitan areas, such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, by mid-century Valentine Richmond History Center Valentine notable examples could be found in cities and towns across Colorized postcard showing entrance to Hollywood Cemetery. the United States—in the South, Midwest, and as far away as California. history.

At the time I did not appreciate it. As I grew I began to understand the importance of history in general and in our own history.
