Louisiana Zouaves, 1861 – Posters and prints on paper or canvas by standard digital or deluxe giclee printing.

The Zouaves were a class of light infantry regiments of the French Army serving between 1830 and 1962 and linked to French North Africa, as well as some units of other countries modelled upon them. Numerous Zouave regiments were organized from soldiers of the United States of America who adopted the name and the North African-inspired uniforms during the American Civil War. The Union army had more than seventy volunteer Zouave regiments throughout the conflict, while the Confederates fielded about twenty-five Zouave companies.

In the United States, zouaves were brought to public attention by Elmer E. Ellsworth. Inspired by his French friend Charles De Villers, who had been a surgeon in the North African zouaves, he obtained a zouave drill manual. In 1859, Ellsworth took over a drill company and renamed them the “Zouave Cadets”. The drill company toured nationally, performing the light infantry drill of the north African zouaves with many theatrical additions. “Zouave” units were then raised on both sides of the American Civil War of 1861-1865, including a regiment under Ellsworth’s command, the New York “Fire Zouaves”.

None of the Mexican War Louisiana “Tigers” were Zouaves. The earliest, and most famous, Louisiana Zouave unit was White’s Company B (the “Tiger Rifles”) of Major Chatham Roberdeau Wheat’s 1st Special Battalion, Louisiana Volunteers, a.k.a. “Louisiana Tigers”. Another notable Zouave unit on the Confederate side was the “1st (Coppens’) Louisiana Zouave Battalion”, which was raised by Georges Augustus Gaston De Coppens in 1861. They saw action from the Peninsula Campaign to the Siege of Petersburg, all the while being short of supplies. They were disbanded in 1865.

Among the Louisiana Zouaves were the “Louisiana Tigers” or “Coppen’s Zouaves”. These names have been conflated as “Louisiana Tigers at Gettysburg”. Coppen’s Zouaves were at Gettysburg, but they were not then known as “Louisiana Tigers”. Captain White’s Company B, “Louisiana Tigers”, of Major Wheat’s 1st Special Battalion, were not at Gettysburg; they were disbanded after Wheat’s death at Gaines Mill in 1862.Among the Louisiana Zouaves were the “Louisiana Tigers” or “Coppen’s Zouaves”.
