Johnson wrote New Orleans Mayor de
Lesseps S, Morrison about the plight
of the "Cottonbaler" regiment without
a cotton bale.
The colonel pointed out that the reg

orated units in the U. S. Army -got
its start to fame as the only, regular
outfit to fight with Andrew Jackson
at the Battle of New Orleans. Be
cause that brilliant victory was won
largely through the use of cotton bales
as breastworks, members of the regi

balers" since that time. Part of the
regimental insignia is a bale of cotton
surmounted by crossed rifles. '
