Interesting. No context, however, Was he a slave his master brought along, and outfitted in a semblance of a uniform? There's no way he was enlisted, as it was illegal under CSA law until March 1865. Maybe this guy was a member of those regiments of free blacks which turned down by CSA forces in Louisiana.
