**"Ask A Gettysburg Guide 108: THE LOUISIANA TIGERS with LBG Mike Rupert"**
🔥 Join us in this LIVE episode of "Ask A Gettysburg Guide" as we dive into the legendary Louisiana Tigers, a unit that made a significant impact during the Civil War!
🎖️ In 1863, during the Gettysburg Campaign, Hays's Brigade distinguished itself with a pivotal win at the Second Battle of Winchester, where they captured a crucial fort and forced Union General Robert H. Milroy's troops to retreat. As they advanced into southern Pennsylvania, many locals expressed fears of the notorious reputation of these spirited Louisianans, often associated with rowdy behavior.
🌍 At the iconic Battle of Gettysburg, Hays's Brigade took bold action on the second day by charging East Cemetery Hill and managing to capture several Union artillery pieces. However, they had to withdraw when they did not receive the necessary support from fellow Confederate units.
