The Tennessee Brigade

About this book

A military history of this unit that fought during the US Civil War, examining its actions and contributions to the Confederate Army.

In the archives of the hallowed battlefield at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, information points to an overlooked and understudied group of Tennessee Civil War soldiers. Leaving their families in Middle Tennessee, the soldiers of the Tennessee Brigade achieved fame, served the Confederacy, and suffered tremendous casualties hundreds of miles from their homes. The stories are numerous, many surreal, but the contributions of the brave men of the Tennessee Brigade are certain.

The Tennessee Brigade participated in the major Civil War battles of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. With regiments raised before Tennessee's secession, the brigade saw action at Seven Pines, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Spotsylvania. It suffered the first Confederate casualty at Gettysburg and was the guiding unit during the third day's assault on the Union position. The brigade survived Petersburg's trenches only to surrender a fraction of its once-mighty ranks at Appomattox. This book thoroughly examines these exploits, using extensive research, first-person accounts, and a previously unpublished diary. Maps by Dave Roth of Blue & Gray Magazine and numerous photographs enhance the text.
