​"Joseph Lancaster Brent: Lawyer, Warrior, and

Prophet of Tank Warfare"
Steve Mayeux
October 21, 2021
​​Joseph Brent was one of the more obscure Confederate generals, and to this day some people still don't accept that he was a general. He should have died in two different shipwrecks, but instead, lived on to broker one of the last Confederate surrenders. His post-war prophetic look into the future of tank warfare is almost spooky.
​Steve Mayeux is the quintessential "Louisiana Man." Born in the Cottonport Clinic on Bayou Rouge in 1950, he has paddled across the Mississippi River in a pirogue, run a trap line, managed a cotton gin, kept bees, farmed the family land, and even wrestled a few alligators. He graduated from LSU in 1972, served a tour as a Marine Tank Platoon Commander, and returned to LSU for his Master’s Degree in Entomology in 1976. He worked as an Agricultural Consultant in central Louisiana for forty years, and is now retired. He has served as President of "Friends of Fort DeRussy" since 1994, and in 1999 was named the Avoyelles Parish "Avoyellean of the Year" for his work in having the fort named a State Historic Site. He is the author of Earthen Walls, Iron Men: Fort DeRussy, Louisiana, and the Defense of  Red River, and a contributing author to Confederate Generals in the Trans-Mississippi, Vol. 2.
