Book excerpt: "This volume is a worthy contribution to the regimental history genre. . . . useful for anyone interested in the Ninth or any of the campaigns and battles in which the regiment participated." -William H. Mulligan, Jr., The Civil War News "The reader gets a down-to-earth view of the Civil War from ordinary people. . . . recommended to Civil War enthusiasts, especially those interested in primary sources." -www.curledup.com Here is the story of the Confederate Ninth Tennessee Infantry, known as the "Southern Confederates," one of the most well-educated, zealously religious, and unbelievably gallant groups of men to engage in the American Civil War. Using the soldiers' actual letters, memoirs, war records, and obituaries, James R. Fleming documents this immortal "band of brothers," which included five of his own ancestors, as they endure the privations of life on the western front. This valuable historical and genealogical resource also includes discussions of the battles at Columbus, Perryville, and Atlanta, as well as the regiment's Order of Battle and each soldier's service record. The Confederate Ninth Tennessee Infantry contains a wealth of archival information taken from primary sources. The letters and reminiscences of Capt. James I. Hall, an educator who joined the war to watch over his young students, are published here in full for the first time. The author has also included C. B. Simonton's detailed contemporary account of the unit's organization, as well as transcripts of the speeches given at the presentation and acceptance of the company's first flag. Mr. Fleming also features a regimental chronology and a roster containing approximately eleven hundred official war records from the Compiled Service Records.

Book excerpt: Band of Brothers tells the story of the "Southern Confederates", one of the most well educated, zealously religious and unbelievably gallant group of men with a devotion to duty unequaled in either army - an immortal "band of brothers". Their trials of being a wounded prisoner of war, sham battles, a prayer meeting in the trenches, sleeping while marching, sleeping during a skirmish, and throwing lighted turpentine balls into the enemy's camps are illustrated within these pages. Capt. James I. Hall's much quoted reminiscences and letters are presented in full for the first time - an educator who joined the war to watch over his young students. Also included in C. B. Simonton's detailed account of the organization of the unit including the exact speeches at the presentation and acceptance of their first flag. The battles of Columbus, Perryville, Atlanta, and others are all chronicled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows the 7th Tennessee Infantry Regiment from their May 1861 mustering-in to the war's final moments at Appomattox in April 1865. It is an intensely personal account based upon the Tennesseans' letters, journals, memoirs, official reports, personnel records and family histories. It is a powerful account of courage and sacrifice. The men (a full roster is included) changed from exhilarated volunteers to battle-hardened veterans. They had eagerly rushed to join up, "anxious to confront the enemy on the battle front." Later, amid the grim realities, the Tennesseans stayed with their comrades and carried out their responsibilities. Rifleman Tom Holloway wrote, "I went into this measure with the conviction that it was my imperative duty." Eventually, as the war destroyed the Tennesseans, Lt. Ferguson Harris wrote simply, "I wonder who will be the last of us to go?"

Book excerpt: "With his sure command of the subject, Dr. Cross uses the illustrative anecdote to highlight the hardships of 'Johnny Reb' in the western theater. This book's value is enhanced by rare illustrations, clear maps, and an extensive appendix detailing the service records of most soldiers in the regiment." -- Malcolm Muir, Jr.; Professor of History, Virginia Military Institute; Director, John A. Adams Center of Military History and Strategic Analysis. At its peak, the Forty-ninth Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Regiment numbered 500 men. Many were under the age of 25. The regiment's ten companies were mustered from Tennessee's Benton, Cheatham, Dickson, Montgomery, and Robertson Counties, with Montgomery County men making up more than half the ranks. During the war, over 75% of the regiment were incarcerated as prisoners of war at least once. More than 50% were imprisoned twice. Diseases such as measles, smallpox, dysentery, gangrene, and sepsis claimed more lives than combat. Battlefield wounds were often devastating, and medicine was primitive at best. Regardless of age or rank, none returned home unscathed...This is their story.
