has abstract	Fort DeRussy, located south of Alexandria, Louisiana, and four miles (6 km) north of Marksville, was a Confederate earthwork stronghold during the American Civil War. It was built in 1862 to defend the lower Red River Valley in Louisiana. Located in Avoyelles Parish, the fort, cemetery and water batteries were designated as a state historic site in 1994. The fort and the water battery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. The fort was named for Colonel Lewis G. DeRussy, the oldest West Point graduate to serve in the Confederate Army. Born in New York City in 1795 to a French family who were refugees from revolutions in Saint-Domingue and France, DeRussy was educated at West Point Academy. He was a career officer in the US Army and engineer, first stationed in Louisiana in 1826, where he lived for nearly 40 years. DeRussy had become a prominent engineer in civilian life after his earlier military service with the US Army, including during the Mexican War. He also had a cotton plantation, and in the 1850s he served in the state house and state senate. (en) Fort DeRussy, situé à six kilomètres (quatre miles) au nord de Marksville, en Louisiane, a été l'une des places fortes confédérées au cours de la guerre de Sécession, défendant la basse vallée de la rivière Rouge en Louisiane. Le fort a été nommé en référence au Colonel , le plus ancien diplômé de West Point à servir dans l'armée confédérée. DeRussy, un éminent ingénieur dans le civil, était l'officier du génie chargé de la construction de la première fortifications du fort. Les restes du colonel ont été exhumés d'une tombe abandonnée et réinhumés sur le terrain du fort le 26 septembre 1999. Le fort a été inscrit sur le Registre national des lieux historiques en 2016.
