Old Money LSU's nickname Tigers comes from Major Roberdeau Wheat's 1st. Special Battalion Louisiana Volunteer Infantry.
Not the Washington Artillery.
I have Major Wheat's autograph in my collection, it is wanted by the LSU Hall Library as that autograph is very hard to come find.

Thanks for the correction. Wash Art are also the Tigers and I know they too played an important role.
