As colonel of the 13th Louisiana Infantry, he fought at the Battle of Shiloh. After being promoted to brigadier general on January 11, 1864, he fought at the Battle of Atlanta and the Franklin and Nashville Campaign. War-dated ALS signed “Randall Lee Gibson, Col. 13th Regiment La Vols, Ruggles Brigade,” two pages, lightly-lined on two adjoining sheets, 7.75 x 10, November 29, 1861. Letter to General Daniel Ruggles. In part: “I have the honour, in compliance with your suggestion, to forward such requisitions as are needed to place this Regiment in thorough condition. The winter overcoats, under clothing, shoes and caps are more needed than other articles. It is at present provided with one suit throughout—but there can be no change either of under clothing or shoes and their caps are much worn.” Gibson’s postscript, signed “R. L. Gibson,” reads: “Capt. King Adjt. Says Col. Tell the Genl. For Genl. Hoke to come to Columbus and assume command of the Louisiana Troops and I fully sympathise with his feelings.” Second page has been inlaid to a slightly larger sheet. In fine condition, with postscript and second signature light, but legible.
