Bio: "Louis Amedee Bringier, son of Michael Doradou Bringier and Louise Elizabeth Aglae Du Bourg, was a planter residing at Hermitage Plantation, Ascension Parish, Louisiana. As a youth he attended University of Virginia from 1845-1849, and in 1850 married his cousin, Stella Tureaud. During the Civil War, Bringier served as a colonel in the Confederate Army under Colonel Louis Bush of the 4th Louisiana Cavalry. After Colonel Bush's resignation Louis Bringier commanded the 7th Louisiana Regiment. At the close of the war he returned to Hermitage Plantation to resume planting. During the 1880's he moved to Florida taking up residence at Last Resort as a fruit farmer."

"Civil War letters reflect camp life, military discipline, scarcity of food, and medical care (July 8, 1864); letters also tell of military engagements including victories at the Battles of Pleasant Hill and Mansfield. Several letters comment on the search for "jayhawkers" and army deserters. Military correspondence, including letters by Colonel Louis Bush and Simon B. Buckner, relates the history, organization, election of officers, military orders and discipline of the 4th Louisiana Cavalry Regiment. Other letters by Louis Bringier discuss camp conditions, morning reports, election of officers of the 7th Louisiana Cavalry Regiment, and "cause for rejoicing" at the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (April 23, 1865).

In his postwar correspondence to his wife, Louis Bringier tells of making claims for damages caused to Hermitage Plantation during the war and his attempts to finance the plantation. Letters from I. G. Wilson, manager of Hermitage during the war give a full account of plantation affairs. Correspondence of the 1870's and 1880's relate social events, family matters, and personal activities and include letters to Stella Bringier from her son, Julian Trist Bringier, while he attended Virginia Military Academy. In letters to his children during the 1880s, Louis Bringier discusses his activities on his fruit farm in Florida. Correspondence from Julian Trist Bringier and Louis Amedee Bringier, Jr. from Houmas Plantation and "Browse" (DuBourg) Bringier to their parents comprise the remaining correspondence."
