REGIMENTAL HISTORYL.D. Bradley was a member of Waul's Texas Legion, formed by T.N. Waul in 1862. Bradley had already reported to another infantry division, but was recruited by Waul into his Legion in spring of 1862. Bradley received the rank of Captain and retained that rank throughout the war. Waul's Texas Legion consisted of 2,000 men at its height, including 12 infantry companies, 6 cavalry companies, and an artillery battalion of 2 companies, each with 6 guns. Most of the men initially recruited for the Legion belonged to the 9th Texas Infantry and the 3rd Texas Infantry who mustered in for 6 months and joined Waul after he started recruiting. The Legion was commissioned on May 13, 1862.
After organizing in central Texas and awaiting assignment in Houston, Waul's Texas Legion was ordered to the Vicksburg area to help defend the city from the impending Federal attack and eventual siege. After passing through Holly Springs and Grenada, they settled at Fort Pemberton. Fort Pemberton was a heavily fortified camp guarding the Yazoo Pass and the Tallahatchee River, one of Grant's attempted access points to the city of Vicksburg. Located between the Yazoo and Tallahatchee rivers and overlooking a bend, Waul's legion was able to defend the fort and repel Sherman and Grant. They sank the Star of the West, a Confederate gun boat, in front of the fort to prevent Federal gun boats from making their way toward the city from that direction. The main attack took place on March 16 and lasted sporadically for 13 days. Grant eventually decided that an attack from that direction was not worth the effort and loss of life, and settled into besieging the city. Waul's Texas Legion was ordered to Vicksburg, leaving a small force behind to defend the fort. L.D. Bradley's company traveled to Vicksburg to relieve the besieged soldiers, but was not immediately put into action because of their recent hard marching and battle fatigue from the fort's defense.
On May 22, a force of Illinois volunteers were ordered to take a railroad redoubt overlooking the Alabama and Vicksburg Railroad. A force of the 30th Alabama Infantry held the redoubt and 2 companies of Waul's Texas Legion were sent in as reinforcements. When the Federal troops attacked, they quickly forced the Alabama defenders to retreat and planted their battle flag. A force of Alabama volunteers attempted to retake the position and were repulsed. After that, no Alabama volunteers were forthcoming, and General Stephen Lee asked Waul to lead an attack to retake this important position. When Waul asked for volunteers, Capt. L.D. Bradley and Lt. J. Hogue stepped forward, choosing 20 and 15 of their men, respectively, to accompany them. At 5:30 pm, Bradley and Hogue, along with 3 volunteers from the 30th Alabama retook the railroad redoubt and presented Waul with the Illinois battle flag. For the remaineder of the siege, Waul's men occupied the rifle pits surrounding this hard fought position. By the time General Pemberton surrendered the city to General Grant on July 4, 1863, 938 men of Waul's Texas Legion were involved in the city's defense, with 47 killed, 190 wounded, and 8 missing. On July 17, 1863, the men of Waul's Texas Legion were paroled and given a 40 day furlough to return to Texas. They were supposed to reassemble in Demopolis, Alabama to await further assignment.
The Legion reassembled and organized in Houston. Waul was promoted to Brigadier General and Bradley's company fell under the command of Col. Timmons. On December 1, 1863 they left Houston and traveled to Velasco, Texas, where they dug in on December 8 to await an impending attack on the Texas coast. For the remainder of the war, the infantry regiments of Waul's Texas Legion guarded the Texas coast from a feared Federal invasion and aided blockade running ships. Stationed at such outposts as Perry's Landing, Anderson, Mud Island, the mouth of the Caney River, and Galveston, the men of Waul's legion saw sporadic action and a large amount of inaction. Those like Bradley, stationed at lonely outposts like Mud Island, battled the elements, boredom, mosquitoes, and disease more than they battled Yankees. As the war drew to a close, inaction coupled with lack of pay and homesickness led to low morale and rampant rumors. Most of the remnants of Waul's Texas Legion finished the war in Galveston, where 400 men from another regiment attempted a mutiny. Timmons' regiment remained loyal, however. Despite stirring speeches and calls to keep fighting, the men knew the cause was lost and wanted to return home to their families and try to rebuild their lives. After the final surrender, the men of the Legion were furloughed and began making their way home. The men of Timmons' regiment were luckier than most in that they did not have as far to travel. After Vicksburg the cavalry units within Waul's Texas Legion were stationed at various points in the eastern theater, many were captured and sent to prison camps, and were thus quite far from home when the time came to travel back. Bradley and his men were just a few days march from home.
