CS Beauregard
Official references as early as March 1864 indicate C.S. Army steamer Beauregard had been for some time an outstanding unit of the western river fleet serving the Confederate Army's Quartermaster Department. On 22 March she is mentioned as "the most valuable boat" transporting cannon and ammunition from Grand Ecore to Shreveport, La. She and steamers General Quitman and Countess moved two divisions of infantry, cavalry and artillery across the Red River in mid-April 1865. Maj. Gen. F. J. Herron, USA, found her with the pump boat Champion at Mound City, 6 June, and took possession of both.
