HISTORY OF TENNESSEE.
Henderson early in 1862, with eight companies, four from Shelby and Tipton Counties, and four from Madison and Henderson Counties. It was first commanded by Col. Browder. It participated in the siege of Forts Henry and Donelson, at which time it was only a battalion. and at the latter battle was assigned to artillery service, and consisted of only about sixty effective men. Col. Browder and part of the battalion were captured, but the lieutenant-colonel, John Chester, gathered the remain- der together and with two other companies from Madison and Tipton. reorganized and moved to Corinth doing provost duty during the battle of Shiloh. It was then consolidated with the Fifty-second, with John Chester, colonel. On the Kentucky campaign it fought at Perryville, doing splendid execution, and losing 8 killed and about 30 wounded. At Murfreesboro it captured a battery and about 600 prisoners. At Shelbyville many of the men captured at Donelson rejoined the regiment. It was engaged at bloody Chickamauga with great gallantry, and again at Missionary Ridge. In many of the battles from Dalton to Atlanta it participated, and later at Franklin and Nashville lost very heavily. A small remnant was surrendered at Greensboro, N. C.
The Fifty-second Tennessee (Confederate) Regiment was raised in West Tennessee late in 1861, and was organized with B. J. Lea as colo- nel. In January, 1862, it was stationed to guard the Tennessee railroad bridge, by order of Gen. Polk. It participated in the battles at Fort Donelson, and was then stationed at Henderson's Station, in West Ten- nessee, where it remained until ordered to Corinth in March, 1862. It moved with . the army to Shiloh, and of its action in that battle Gen. Chalmers, its brigade commander, reported as follows: "A few skirmish- .ers of the enemy advanced secretly and fired upon the Fifty-second. which broke and fled in the most shameful confusion, and all efforts to rally it were without avail, and it was ordered out of the lines, where it remained during the balance of the engagement, except companies com- manded by Russell and Wilson, which gallantly fought in the Fifth Mississippi Regiment." In many a bloody battle afterward it redeemed itself nobly. It was consolidated with the Fifty-first, and was at Perry- ville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and in all the general engagements of the Georgia campaign; came back with Hood and fought at Franklin. Nashville and elsewhere, and marched down to North Carolina, where it surrendered April, 1865.
The Fifty-third Tennessee ( Confederate) Regiment was organized late in the year 1561, into a battalion under the command of Col. Ed Aber- nathy. It was present at the battles and assaults of Fort Donelson and fought on the left wing, showing great gallantry, repulsing two headlong

charges. It had at this time about 200 effective men. It was captured and seems then to have lost its identity. It was probably consolidated with other commands.
The Fifty-fourth Tennessee (Confederate ) Regiment was organized at Nashville during the autumn of 1861, and comprised companies from the counties of Lawrence, Wayne and probably others. Upon the organ- ization William Dearing was chosen colonel. The regiment moved first into Kentucky to assist in repelling the Federal advance, but early in February, 1862, was ordered to Fort Donelson, in the siege of which it was actively engaged. It succeeded in making its escape, but became · almost disbanded. The portion that remained was formed into a battalion at Corinth, and placed under the command of Col. Nixon. Later the battalion was consolidated with the Forty-eighth Regi- ment.
The Fifty-fifth Tennessee ( Confederate) Regiment was raised in the counties of Davidson, Williamson, Smith, Bedford and Lincoln, and was organized in November, 1861, under Col. A. J. Brown. It participated at Fort Donelson and was reorganized at Corinth. It was engaged at Shiloh, where it lost very heavily in killed and wounded. Col. McCoen was succeeded by Col. Reed, who was mortally wounded in December. 1862. After Shiloh it was consolidated with the Forty-fourth Regi- ment.
The Fifty-ninth Tennessee (Confederate) Regiment was raised in East Tennessee during the winter of 1561-62, and was mustered into the service with J. B. Cooke, colonel. It did duty in various commands in Tennessee and Kentucky, and finally, about January 1. 1863, became connected with the Confederato force at Vicksburg, and was brigaded with the Third Confederate, the Thirty-first and the Forty-third under Gen. A. W. Reynolds in Stevenson's division. After this its record is the same as that of the Third Regiment. The regiment was commanded much of its term of service by Col. W. L. Eakin
The Sixtieth Tennessee (Confederate) Regiment was organized in East Tennessee in the autumn of 1862, with John H. Crawford, colonel. Soon after its organization it was assigned to the brigade of John C. Vaughn and ordered to Mississippi and Louisiana, and thereafter, during the remainder of the war, its record is similar to that of Vaughn's brigade. It was engaged at Jackson, and against Sherman's movement on Vicks- burg. During the siege of that city it garrisoned the Confederate works. It also assisted gallantly in opposing the advance of Gen. Grant from below Vicksburg. At Big Black Bridge it lost severely and fought against great odds. July 4. 1868, it was surrendered with Pemberton's

army, after having reached the point of starvation. It was finally ex- changed, and then joined Gen. - Longstreet in his movement against Knoxville. It was mounted in December, 1863, and spent the winter of 1863-64 guarding the front and in recruiting, and in the spring ad- vanced into Virginia and fought at Piedmont. It was at Lynchburg, Williamsport, and along the Potomac and the Shenandoah Rivers, and was engaged in western Virginia when the news of Gen. Lee's surrender was received. The gallant regiment resolved to join Johnston, and ac- cordingly rendezvoused at Charlotte, but finally surrendered with Vaughn's brigade.
The Sixty-first Tennessee (Confederate) Regiment was raised in Hawkins, Sullivan, Greene, Jefferson, Washington, Grainger and Clai- borne Counties, and was organized at Henderson Mills, in Greene County, in November, 1862, with F. E. Pitts, colonel. It almost imme- diately became part of Vaughn's brigade, with which it served during the remainder of the war. (See Sixtieth Regiment. )
The Sixty-second Tennessee Regiment was organized late in 1562. with John A. Rowan, colonel, and was soon assigned to Vaughn's brig- ade, with which it served during the rest of the war.
The Sixty-third Tennessee (Confederate) Regiment was raised in Washington, Roane, Hancock, Claiborne, London, Hawkins and Sullivan Counties, and was organized July 30, 1862, with R. G. Fain, colonel. It operated in East Tennessee and was under the active or immediate com- mand of Lieut .- Col. W. H. Fulkerson. After various movements it joined Bragg in Middle Tennessee in June, 1863, but only to retreat with his army to Chattanooga. It was then ordered to Knoxville, thence to Strawberry Plains, but late in August it moved back in time to par- ticipate in the great battle of Chickamauga, which, though its first en- gagement, was fought with splendid daring and discipline. It lost 47 killed and 155 wounded, out of 404 engaged. It was then detached with Longstreet to operate against Knoxville. It fought at Fort Sanders, Bean's Station, where it lost 18 killed and wounded, and win- tered in East Tennessee. It was moved to Virginia, fought at Drury Bluff. where it lost 150 men, at Walthall's Junction, at Petersburg. and elsewhere, losing many men. April 2, 1865, a portion was captured, and the remainder surrendered at Appomattox.
The Eighty-fourth Tennessee (Confederate) Regiment was organized at McMinnville during the early winter of 1562, with S. S. Stanton. colonel, and was raised in the counties of Smith. White, Jackson. Put- nam, DeKalb, Overton and Lincoln. In three days after its organization and in twelve hours after reaching Murfreesboro, it participated in thius

furious engagement, where the right wing of Rosecranz was routed from the field. It moved back to Tullahama, and was here consolidated with the Twenty-eighth Regiment. (See sketch of the twenty-eighth. )
The One Hundred and Fifty-fourth Tennessee (Confederate ) Regi- ment was organized at Memphis in 1860. before the war broke out. and was reorganized soon after the fall of Sumter with Preston Smith, colonel. Seven companies were raised in Memphis, one in Henry County. one in MeNairy County, and one in Hardeman County. It first marched to. Randolph in May, 1861, and after various movements marched north and participated in the battle of Belmont, and afterward moved south into. Kentucky, and after the surrender of Fort Donelson to northern Missis- sippi, and in April fought at bloody Shiloh with severe loss. It was then at Corinth until the evacuation, then marched north with Bragg on the Kentucky campaign, fighting at Richmond, Ky., with great loss, and at Perryville, October S. It marched south with the army, reaching Murfreesboro where, December 31, it was hotly engaged, losing over a. third of those engaged. It retreated to Chattanooga, thence to Chick- amauga, where it fought in that great battle in September, and later at Missionary Ridge. It wintered at Dalton, and in 1864, in the Georgia. campaign, fought in all the principal battles down to Atlanta, losing in the aggregate many valuable men. It marched north with Hood and. invaded Tennessee, fighting at Franklin, Nashville and elsewhere, and re- treating south out of the State. It marched to the Carolinas, partici- pated in the action at Bentonville, and surrendered in April, 1865.
In addition to the above organizations there were about twenty cav- alry regiments whose movements it has been almost impossible to trace. About eighteen battalions of cavalry were in the Confederate service. from Tennessee. Many of the battalions, which had first served as such and perhaps independently, were consolidated to form regiments. Aside from this there were numerous independent cavalry companies or squads organized in almost every county of the State to assist the Confederate. cause. The leading cavalry organizations of the State served mainly with the commands of Gens. Wheeler, Wharton and Forrest.
The artillery organizations of the State were so often changed. and have left such obscure records, that no attempt will be made here to trace their movements. They were in nearly all the artillery duels of the Mis- sissippi department. The following is an imperfect list of the Tennes- see batteries: Colms' Battery, Capt. S. H. Colms; Appeal Battery, Capt. W. N. Hogg; Bankhead's Battery, Capt. S. P. Bankhead; Barry's Bat- tery, Capt. R. L. Barry; Belmont Battery, Capt. J. G. Anglade; Brown's. Battery, Capt. W. R. Marshall; Burrough's Battery, Capt. W.
