Madison Parish Court House, Tallulah, LA. Site Marker:
Tallulah was founded in 1857. In 1862 it was an important telegraph and
railroad station on the Vicksburg, Shreveport, and Texas Railroad. On
August 18, 1862, the depot, telegraph office, and several railroad cars
were destroyed by a small detachment of Federal troops under Col. W. D.
Bowen. The depot contained a large amount of sugar and supplies for the
Confederate Army |
