From August 2 to August 16, the New Orleans Daily True Delta published

of Howard C. Wright, a Confederate lieutenant in the 30th Louisiana Infantry
of the Port Hudson garrison. The text was also published in book form in 1937,
and reissued in 1978. See this National Park Service site for further information.
