The Louisiana Society Order of Confederate Rose has placed a State Historical Marker at a site that is significant to the History of Louisiana each of the last five years. This year the marker will be placed at the site of Blair's Landing. More specifically the site where General Tom Green was killed by gunfire from U.S.N. ships.
Each marker cost approximately $1700. LaSOCR has begun fund raising for the Green marker. Please contact Johanna Pate at lasocr@bellsouth.net or 337.375.1870 if you would like to participate in the project. Day of dedication has not been determined at this time, but is planned for some time in the Fall of 2007.
