Infantry had very fine history and was active from Nov. 19, 1861 - August 12, 1865.  Some of the more important battles that they were in were: Battle of Pattersonville, The Bayou Teche Campaign, Battle of Fort Bisland, Battle of Irish Bend, Siege of Port Hudson, Battle of Brashear City, Shenandoah Valley Campaign, Battle Of Fort Stevens, & The Third Battle of Winchester. They were also in many other conflicts besides the battles stated above.
