The first obstacle to this 'Red River Campaign' was the capture of a small undermanned Ft. DeRussy, which stood like the 'Rock of Gibraltar' guarding the Red River from the Union navy. Here less than 350 Confederates showed their courage against a force of 10,000 invading Union soldiers. This video explores the rationale for the construction of the fort as well as some of the more significant events associated with Ft. DeRussy in an effort to raise awareness of this Civil War landmark, located in central Louisiana, that is slowly fading away. This documentary was made in Louisiana, by a Louisiana Independent Film Company, and starring Louisiana authors/historians. Written by Anonymous See less
