HISTORY OF THE TWENTIETH TENNESSEE REGIMENT


nessee, had been furloughed. These regiments averaged about 100 men each, which would make 1,900. This will show that Hood recrossed the Tennessee River with an army of infantry 18,813 strong. His recruits in Tennessee did not equal his de- sertions. Hood captured some small arms and several cannons, but he lost in this campaign of thirty-four days, fifty pieces of artillery ; yet he recrossed the Tennessee with fifty-nine pieces and a good supply of ammunition.


General Forrest reported that his cavalry captured and de- stroyed on this campaign 16 blockhouses and stockades, 20 bridges, 4 locomotives, 100 cars, 10 miles of railroad, 1,600 prisoners, several hundred head of mules, horses, and cattle. It was at this time that General Tecumseh Sherman advised the killing of General Forrest in a letter written to General Thomas, dated Savannah, Ga., Jan. 21, 1865 (see Vol. XLV, War Record, part 2, page 621), in which he advises General Thomas to march on Columbus, Miss., Tuscaloosa and Selma, Ala., destroying farms, gathering horses and mules, burning wagons, doing all possible damage, burning Selma and Montgomery, and all iron foundries, factories, and mills, and says, "I would like to have Forrest hunted down and killed, but doubt if we can do that yet." If such an order had been issued by General Weyler, the Spanish commander on the Island of Cuba, one half of these self-sancti- fied people of New England and the political job-hunters about Washington would have had religious convulsions, and the other half would have been sent to lunatic asylums as monomaniacs on the subject of barbarism. This inconsistency in the Puritan is as hereditary as is the blue stripe that adorns the front of his abdomen.


On January 23, 1865, at Tupelo, Miss., General Hood was re- lieved of the command of the Army of Tennessee, and Lieu- tenant-General Richard Taylor, a son of President Zachary Tay- lor, was assigned to the command, and in a few days the corps of Lee, Stewart, and Cheatham, in the order named, were sent by rail to South Carolina, and during the month of January the' Confederate Congress adopted a resolution asking President Davis to appoint Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to the command of the Army of Tennessee, as such an appointment would be hailed

with joy by that army and the country at large. President Davis did not do as requested by his congress; but Gen. R. E. Lee, after he had been made General-in-Chief of all the Con- federate forces, did, on February 22, 1865, appoint Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to the command of the Army of Tennessee and all Confederate troops in the States of Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. This appointment of Johnston's revived the hopes of the Army of Tennessee to some extent, but their experience with Hood at Atlanta, Jonesboro, Franklin, and Nashville, with all of their untold horrors and mistakes, had nearly convinced the rank and file that the cherished hope of their lives, for which they had suffered and borne so much, was unattainable, but if " Old Joe " said, "Halt, boys, and give 'em battle," it was all right.


Cheatham's corps was the last of Hood's army to take the cars for the Carolinas, and he carried with him the mass of the Ten- nesseans ; but a great many Tennesseans were left in West Ten- nessee on furlough, and after their furlough was out they joined Forrest's command and surrendered with him.


Cheatham's corps arrived at Augusta, Ga., on February 9, and was held over there a few days to meet a threatened attack.


On the 14th, Cheatham was ordered to Columbia, S. C., then to Newberry, and on to Bentonville, N. C., and united with Johnston's army on the 21st. All the troops that composed the infantry of the Army of Tennessee were put into one corps under command of Lieut .- Gen. A. P. Stewart, and numbered 8,731 ef- fective men; the remnant of Cleburne's and Bate's divisions, 406, was under the command of the gallant Bate. Stewart's corps and some North Carolina troops under Bragg, and a force under Lieutenant-General Hardee, numbering in all 15,000 men, were all that General Johnston fought the battle of Bentonville with. The attack on the 19th and 20th was opened on General Johnston's left by General Slocumb with the twentieth army corps, which numbered nearly as many as Johnston's whole army. This assault lasted for half an hour, when Slocumb was repulsed with heavy loss; and in a few minutes another attack was made upon Stewart's line, and it was driven back in the old- time style.

HISTORY OF THE TWENTIETH TENNESSEE REGIMENT


Hardee with his forces was in position by three o'clock, and made a gallant charge, supported by Stewart; and the enemy was badly beaten, but was soon heavily reinforced, and returned to the assault, but with little effect. The Confederates held the field, buried their dead, cared for their wounded, and afterward returned to their original position.


On the next day the Yankees had four corps on the field, and made several attacks on the Confederate line held by General Bragg, and every one was repulsed; this was on the 20th. On the 21st, Cheatham joined Johnston's army with 2,002, the bulk of whom were Tennesseans; and Gen. Stephen D. Lee arrived a few days later with 3,000 more troops, composed of his own corps and detachments of Stewart's and Cheatham's corps.


On the 21st, skirmishing on the front of our lines began. It was here that Mower's division of the Seventeenth Army Corps penetrated our cavalry line on the left, and moved on Benton- ville, but General Hardee met this division of Mower's with Cumming's Georgia brigade of infantry, and Wade Hampton and Wheeler charged his flanks with their cavalry. It was in this charge that the Eighth Texas and Fourth Tennessee under the gallant Baxter Smith covered themselves with glory, as they had on many fields, when they swept down upon the enemy's left and front, and drove them back in disorder upon their re- serves, keeping open the only line of retreat that we had across Mill Creek.


This action of the Twenty-first was one of the most gallant of the war, and was the last battle that the Army of Tennessee ever fought. On this field, when Mower with his division at- tempted to seize Johnston's only line of retreat, Sherman had just three times the number that Johnston had, besides Scho- field's army in supporting distance, which would have given Sherman an army of 75,000 with Johnston an army of less than 20,000.


Early on the morning of the 22nd, Johnston retired across Mill Creek, and formed his line of battle again; but the enemy made no effort to pursue. In these three days' fighting the Con- federates lost 223 killed, 1467 wounded, and 653 missing - total, 2,343; while Sherman's report showed that he lost in his Caro-

lina campaign 3,546, most of whom were lost at Bentonville. Johnston captured in this engagement 903 prisoners and three pieces of artillery.


In this last battle the gallant Bate, in whose command was the Twentieth Regiment, broke and shattered the command of the Federal General Buell.


Among the Confederates that were counted as missing was a detachment of about one hundred men under Col. Anderson Searcy and Lieutenant-Colonel Hall of the Forty-fifth Tennes- see, and a small squad of the Eighteenth Tennessee under Cap- tain Joyner, who penetrated the Yankee lines, got in the rear of Sherman's army, and remained there from the 21st to the 28th, when they passed around the left flank of Sherman's army and rejoined their own command. This required tact, courage, and endurance, which entitle them to high distinction as soldiers ; and Gen. D. H. Hill, who was in command of Lee's corps, complimented them very highly.


General Johnston's army changed position on March 24 to a point four miles north of Smithfield, and there halted until April 10. Under orders from headquarters, the army spent the 8th and 9th in reorganizing the faithful little band, when a regi- ment would not make a company nor a brigade a regiment. Of all the noble band of Tennesseans that once made so large a part of the Army of Tennessee, there was only enough left to make four regiments, in all about 2,000 strong. The first was com- posed of the following consolidations,- the First, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Sixteenth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth, and Thirty- fourth Regiments were put under command of Hume R. Fields, Colonel; Oliver A. Bradshaw, Lieutenant-Colonel; and W. D. Kelly, Major. The Second Tennessee was composed of the Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Twenty-ninth, Forty-seventh, Fif- tieth, Fifty-first, and One Hundred and Fifty-fourth. These eight were under Col. Horace Rice and Lieut .- Col. Geo. W. Pease. The Third . was composed of the Fourth, Fifth, Nineteenth, Twenty-fourth, Thirty-first, Thirty-third, Thirty-fifth, Thirty- eighth, and Forty-first under Col. James D. Tillman. The Fourth Tennessee had in it the Second, Third, Tenth, Fifteenth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-sixth, Thirtieth, Thirty-second,

Thirty-seventh, Forty-ninth, and Twenty-third Battalion, and was placed under the gallant Col. Anderson Searcy. These thirty- seven remnants of Tennessee commands, that once represented nearly 40,000 men, were now reduced to four regiments, repre- senting 2,000 men, under that gallant and knightly soldier, Gen. Joseph B. Palmer.


This brigade of Tennesseans and Gist's brigade of Georgians and South Carolinians composed a division, and were put under command of the ever faithful and brave Maj .- Gen. B. F. Cheat- ham. Maj .- Gen. John C. Brown was placed in command of Cle- burne's old division, and Lieut .- Gen. A. P. Stewart took com- mand of an army corps. The rest of the Tennessee officers were declared supernumeraries.

General Johnston's army on the Ioth marched through Ral- eigh, crossed the Hawe and Alamance rivers; on the 15th, they marched 15 miles, and on the 16th, 12 miles on the road to New Salem, and bivouacked. It was here that Johnston's army learned for the first time that the army of northern Virginia, under the matchless Lee, had surrendered. On the 17th, John- ston's army was confronted with overwhelming numbers, yet his troops were full of fight, for they had just repulsed three times their number at Bentonville. On the 19th it was known that a truce had been agreed upon by the two commanding gen- erals, and terms of peace were being negotiated.


At first the authorities at Washington refused to ratify the terms, and on the 26th Johnston marched his army ten miles on the Center and Thomasville road; but on the 27th it was officially announced that terms had been agreed upon, by which the troops under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston would be surrendered.


This announcement brought sorrow, but no surprise. Before Lee surrendered, it was hoped that the armies of northern Vir- ginia and Tennessee would unite and yet become invincible, but after Lee's surrender, this only hope was gone. So, according to the terms agreed upon April 26, Johnston's army and all Con- federates in this military district, numbering 39,000 officers and men, were surrendered at Greensboro, N. C., and at other points in this district. Nearly all the Tennesseans were in Palmer's brigade of Cheatham's division.

REGIMENTAL HISTORY


The Twentieth Tennessee Volunteer Infantry, now a compo- nent part of the Fourth consolidated regiment, which had started into the war with 900 men, and was recruited to 1,165, sur- rendered on the field of Greensboro with thirty-four men and officers under Lieut. W. W. Shute of Company A in com- mand, and George Peay of Company B as Second Lieutenant; of the original ten companies one or two did not have a single man in line, some one, and others from three to six. Ralph J. Neal was the only man of Company E.


The Tennessee Brigade retained its organization, and retired to Salisbury, where they received rations and were paid $1.25 in silver coin for each officer and man. This fund was the military chest of the army, and came under the control of Gen- eral Johnston by order of President Davis. A touching fare- well address from our dear " Old Joe " was read to the troops, and the Tennessee Brigade, in which was the remnant of the Twentieth, all under the command of Brigadier-General Palmer, marched through the mountains to Greenville, East Tennessee, and there took cars for their respective homes. Many of these gallant spirits never met again on earth, but crossed over and joined Lee, Jackson, the two Johnstons, Hood, Forrest, Cheat- ham, and the long line of privates that bore the burden of the war and made the generals what they were, and it is to them and the women of the South that this little work is most fondly dedicated.


It can be truthfully said of the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment and the brigadier and major generals who commanded it on many bloody fields, that it was a favorite with General Zollicoffer, the idol of General Breckinridge; it had the admiration of Gen. A. P. Stewart, and it was the "Tenth Legion" of the gallant Bate.


The following tribute to the Twentieth from Major Brom- field L. Ridley, Aide de Camp on the staff of Gen. Alex. P. Stewart, is offered as a " Prologue " to our." Regimental His- tory." He had the opportunity of seeing the character of the " rank and file" of the Twentieth on more than one field of carnage and deadly strife.


" It was at Fishing Creek that the Twentieth Tennessee Regi-

ment won imperishable fame,- a reputation that will die only with the last echo of time itself. One day while the army was marching along, the Fifteenth Mississippi Regiment hallooed out, 'Boys! here's the Twentieth Tennessee. Three cheers and a bumper!' Inquiry led me to find out that the Twentieth Tennessee rushed into the battle at Fishing Creek and saved the Fifteenth Mississippi from capture. Ever afterward these regiments cheered each other when they met.


" In every important battle of the Army of Tennessee,- Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Nashville, Franklin, Bentonville,- the Twentieth Tennessee was prominent, and be it said to the glory of the regiment, that when on the right of you, or the left of you, 'when the battle raged and thundered,' it was com- forting to know that the Twentieth was there. This regiment commenced with 1165, and ended with only 34 men. Tennessee points with pride to the achievements of Battle's Old Regi- ment, which was always there when called on, and remained there when ordered to do so. Let the coronet of glory be placed upon her shield, bedecked with brilliant stars showing her tri- umphs. The great State of Tennessee and the Confederacy will ever look upon the deeds of such sons with the pride of a father, who recurs to the acts of his boy with the glad plaudit of 'Well done.'"


Our great Civil War was one of the bloodiest, yet not the longest, in history. It lasted for four years, from April, 1861, to April, 1865. On one side were 600,000 men, on the other 2,760,000. In that struggle were fought 1,882 battles and skir- mishes, in which were on each side at least one regiment or more, averaging more than one engagement each day of the four years; and there were 112 general engagements in which the losses on one or the other side exceeded five hundred in killed and wounded. In this gigantic struggle, including both sides, a half million men were killed or mortally wounded, and more than a million less dangerously wounded.


On one side were pitted 600,000 pure Anglo-Americans against 2,760,000; 400,000 of whom were foreigners. It was on one side courage, skill, and endurance, against overwhelming resources and brute force on the other.

REGIMENTAL HISTORY


The most memorable wars are those that were the bloodiest and most destructive, but not the most decisive; and when the impartial historian comes to assign our great Civil War a place in history, and we are weighed according to our long casualty list, it will be seen in its proper light.


The Great American Civil War, and some of its battles, will rank favorably with the following :-


The Battle of Marathon, B. C. 490, in which the Athenians under Miltiades defeated the Persians under Datis.


The Battle of Syracuse, B. C. 413, in which the Athenians were defeated by the Syracusans and their allies.


The Battle of Arbela, B. C. 331, in which the Persians under Darius were defeated by the Macedonians and Greeks under Alexander the Great.


The Battle of Metaurus, B. C. 207, in which the Carthagen- ians under Hasdrubal were defeated by the Romans under the consuls Caius, Claudius, Nero, and Marcus Livius.


The Battle of Philippi, B. C. 42, in which Brutus and Cassius were defeated by Octavius and Antony, and the fate of the Roman Republic was decided.


The Battle of Actium, B. C. 31, in which the combined fleets of Antony and Cleopatra were defeated by Octavius, and im- perialism established in the person of Octavius.


The Battle of Chalons, A. D. 451, in which the Huns under Attilla, called " The scourge of God," were defeated by the con- federate armies of the Romans and Visigoths.


The Battle of Tours, A. D. 732, in which the Saracens were defeated by Charles Martel, and Christendom was rescued from Islam.


The Battle of Hastings, A. D. 1066, in which Harold, com- manding the English army, was defeated by William the Conqueror, of Normandy.


The Battle of Lutzen, 1632, which decided the religious liber- ties of Germany, and in which Gustavus Adolphus was killed.


The Battle of Valmy, A. D. 1702, in which an invading army of Prussians, Austrians, and Hessians, under command of the Duke of Brunswick, were defeated by the French under Dumouriez.

HISTORY OF THE TWENTIETH TENNESSEE REGIMENT


The Battle of Blenheim, A. D. 1704, in which the French and Bavarians under Marshall Tallard were defeated by the English and their allies under Marlborough.


The Battle of Pultowa, A. D. 1709, in which Charles XII. of Sweden was defeated by the Russians under Peter the Great.


The Great Naval Battle of Trafalgar, Oct. 21, 1805, in which the English defeated the French, and destroyed the hopes of Napoleon as to a successful invasion of England.


The Battle of Waterloo, 1815, in which the French under Napoleon were defeated by the allied armies of Russia, Austria, Prussia, and England under the Duke of Wellington.


Other countries have had bloody wars and great fatalities, for instance the charge of the light brigade at Balaklava, when 673 English soldiers rode into the jaws of death, obeying an ill-advised order, 113 being killed and 134 wounded - a total loss of 247, or nearly thirty-seven per cent. This charge was > made famous by Tennyson in song and story. We can point out seventy-five regiments on each side that lost in a single en- gagement more than forty per cent.


Then again, in the Franco-Prussian War the greatest loss of any of their regiments was in the Third Westphalian at Mars La Tour, where they went in 3,000 men and lost in killed, wounded, and missing 1,484, a little less than fifty per cent., while in our war on both sides we had 120 regiments that lost more than fifty per cent. in a single battle, and some as high as sixty, seventy, and seventy-five per cent .; and three regiments, one on the Union side and two on the Confederate side, viz., the First Minnesota at Gettysburg lost eighty-two per cent. and the First Texas at Antietam 82.3, and the Twenty-sixth North Carolina at Gettysburg ninety per cent.


We will now compare the heaviest losses of a number of regiments on each side :-
