OverviewFrom the little-known Filibuster Wars to the Civil War battlefield of Gaines' Mill, this volume details the unique and fascinating story of one of the South's most colorful military units, the 1st Louisiana Special Battalion aka Wheat's Tigers. Beginning with a brief look at the Filibuster Wars (a set of military attempts to annex Latin American countries into the U.S. as slave states), the work takes a close look at the men who comprised Wheat's Tigers: Irish immigrant ship hands, New Orleans' dock workers and Filibuster veterans.
