Orleans Guards Regiment, Louisiana Militia

Overview:

Orleans Guards Infantry Battalion was a six-company pre-war militia unit that entered Confederate service in December, 1861. The men were from New Orleans and P.G.T. Beauregard was a member at one time. His name was called at each taking of the roll, and the answer was given was "Absent, on special assignment." It was attached to Colonel P. Pond's Brigade, Army of the Mississippi, and reported 17 killed, 55 wounded, and 18 missing in the Battle of Shiloh . Later the unit was mustered out of service, but most of the men transferred to other Louisiana commands. Major Leon Querouze was in command.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts on December 29, 1809, Albert Pike  is asserted within the Southern Jurisdiction as the man most responsible for the growth and success of the Scottish Rite from an obscure Masonic Rite in the mid-19th century to the international fraternity that it became. Pike received the 4th through the 32nd Degrees in March 1853 from Dr. Albert G. Mackey, in Charleston, S.C., and was appointed Deputy Inspector for Arkansas that same year.
At this point, the degrees were in a rudimentary form, and often only included a brief history and legend of each degree as well as other brief details which usually lacked a workable ritual for their conferral. In 1855, the Supreme Council appointed a committee to prepare and compile rituals for the 4th through the 32nd Degrees. That committee was composed of Albert G. Mackey, John H. Honour, William S. Rockwell, Claude P. Samory, and Albert Pike. Of these five committee members, Pike did all the work of the committee.

In 1857 Pike completed his first revision of the 4°-32° ritual, and printed 100 copies. This revision, which Mackey dubbed the "Magnum Opus" was never adopted by the Supreme Council. According to Arturo de Hoyos, 33°, the Scottish Rite's Grand Historian, the Magnum Opus became the basis for future ritual revisions.

In March 1858, Pike was elected a member of the Supreme Council for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, and in January 1859 he became its Grand Commander. The American Civil War  interrupted his work on the Scottish Rite rituals. About 1870 he, and the Supreme Council, moved to Washington, DC, and in 1884 his revision of the rituals was complete.

Scottish Rite Grand Archivist and Grand Historian de Hoyos created the following chart of Pike's ritual revisions:
