Landry, Phillippe

Bio:
There are few records of Landry's service with the exception of his supposed involvement at Donaldsonville, Louisiana, in August 1862. A number of incidents of artillery firing on Union steamers passing up and down the Mississippi River influenced the U.S. Navy to undertake a retaliatory attack at Donaldsonville. Landry, thought to be the captain of the partisan unit, reportedly fired on the landing party during the raid.
