blanket, and we about-faced and started at a double-quick, going the route we had just traveled. After marching some two or three miles we were finally brought to a Halt, and ascertained that it was a false alarm; and relieved of further apprehen- sion in this respect, we remained all night in a drenching rain. The general line of march is familiar from this point forward until we reached Harrodsburg. At this time our Colonel, with several men detailed, had started back for West Ten- nessee upon a recruiting expedition.
On the evening of the 7th of October we left Harrodsburg and took up our march in the direction of Perryville and Chaplain Creek and hills, reaching the vicinity late that evening. The morning of the sth opened beautifully, and for some time it seemed the day would not witness any scenes of carnage. Early in the morning I accompanied Lient. Albert Andrews, of my company, to the creek, where we washed our hands and faces. He seemed impressed with his fate, and spoke of being killed, and what he wanted me to do in that contingency. I endeavored to shake this presentiment from him, but to no effect.
The impression that there would be no fight was soon dispelle.l, for activity per- vaded our ranks, and evident preparations were being made.
We marched to the right and in a northerly direction, and for some time rested upon the side of a range of hills, and watched a duel going on between the artillery on either side. About one o'clock we again moved forward, and while in a field on one side of the creek, on a bluff overlooking it, we halted for a few moments. Here we could plainly see the Federal lines on the opposite side. and also a battery which seemed gaping at us. Attention was called to this by some of the men -- that they were preparing to open on us, and that it was certain death-when the senior Captain remarked: "Boys, if you can't stand it you had better leave; all cowards to the rear!" Not a man moved, but all, it appeared. stood fixed to the spot. We all knew that the position was extremely dangerous. The battery opened upon us, but the shots were not well aimed, and we escaped, save the dust and corn-stalks that were thrown upon us. Cloud- of dust spread over us, and many perhaps thought the whole left of the regiment was swept away.
We were soon removed from this embarrassing position by a forward more- ment, placing the bluff between us and the enemy. When we climbed the hills on the opposite side. however, we confronted the enemy strongly supporting the battery in an open field. We emerged from a skirt of timber and were massed on another regiment of our brigade, and our concentrated fire played havoc in the enemy's lines, almost mowing them down. We pressed on, and the Federals finally gave way and began to fall back. The coolness and undaunted courage of the Federal Gen. Jackson, as he stood by his guns and urged his men to fight. were the subject of general admiration. He was a brave man and gallant officer. and lost his life near the battery. Confederates, by whose hands he had fallen. as we passed by his lifeless form, could not but admire his conduct and regret his sad fate. It was now an open field fight, and we steadily drove the enemy until about night-fall. It was a grand battle, hotly contested, and I am satisfied, considering the number engaged and the time consumed in the fight, it was one of the bloodtest of the war. As the fight progressed and dangers thickened, Capt. Rizer, of the regiment, who afterward gained distinction as Captain of the Rizer Sconts in Gen. Forrest's command, remarked: " Look at Lieut. Andrews, as he throws his sword in the air; how gallantly he fights!" Poor Lieutenant! it was his last fight

About sundown Capt. Taylor, senior Captain, fell wounded three times-one shot crushing his right thigh. Lieut. Andrews was wounded in the left hip, as was thought. Dick Love, Howard Cole, and others, were wounded. Our wounded were carried back to Goodnight's, and for weeks many of us were in the horse- lot. Some who were slightly wounded were removed to Harrodsburg. After our army withdrew many of us fell into the hands of the Felerals, and were prisoners of war. Our regiment came out of the fight with just one-half its number killed, wounded, and missing. I regret I cannot at this late day recall the names of those who were killed. Howard Cole died a few days after from wounds; also John Wholesonsen. Bailey Rhodes, I remember, was killed. He was the neat- est, cleanest soldier I ever saw-always looking nice. He was brave, and a noble young man. Nine days after the fight Lieut. Andrews died by the side of his Captain, his bosom friend and boy companion. He talked freely, and died in the triumph of faith, with a soul at ease and in the sanguine hope of a blissful im- mortality in the bright hereafter.
From this time on for some ten months I can only give the general history of this regiment. On the march to Tennessee the Twenty-seventh was consolidated with the First Tennessee ( Maney's), and from this time was commanded by Col. Hume Field and Lieut .- col. John House, of the First, and Maj. Allen, of the Twenty-seventh; and the command was then known as the First and Twenty- seventh Tennessee. It took an active part in the battle of Murfreesboro, and in fact in all the fights that occurred afterward, always maintaining the repu- tation it acquired at Shiloh and Perryville as being a true and gallant regiment. We were in the battles at Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge, in every engagement in North Georgia, and at New Hope Church, Pine Mountain, Kennesaw Mount- ain, Smyrna, Peach-tree Creek, and others. It is a patent fact that our regiment and others, in the retrograde movement of Gen. Johnston to Atlanta, killed more Federals than we had soldiers in our regiments. At a point called Dead Angle, in Georgia, where we were strongly protected, the Federals essayed to storm our works, and were repulsed with frightful losses, while but little damage was done us-the Twenty-seventh, I believe, losing but one man. Our sokliers, who then had and still have confidence in our distinguished General Joseph E. Johnston, would have whipped any fight he might have suggested. We knew that he well knew what he was doing. In this campaign in North Georgia Maj. Allen, of the Twenty-seventh Tennessee, was killed while engaged in the thickest of the fight. He was a true soldier, a kind-hearted gentleman, and always did his duty. No other field officer of the regiment was engaged; all were transferred to post appointments.
The Twenty-seventh, as remarked, was in all the battles where Gens. Johnston and Hood commanded. In a number of these engagements I was not present. being disabled with a broken thigh. In North Georgia we suffered frequently for provisions. It was here we sometimes had only parched corn, and acorns that we gathered from the forest-trees. Sitting around a camp-fire one morning roasting and eating acorns, George Penn, a private, being one of the "Decatur Tigers," re- marked: "Well, boys, in history [and we believe it] Marion was called a patriot, and the circumstance of his eating roasted potatoes is related. Here we are, near- ly starved, eating acorns, and would be blamed glad to get potatoes. Marion fared sumptuously; but then we must be patriots too." At this time our ranks had been
427
REGIMENTAL HISTORIES AND MEMORIAL ROLLS.
thinned, and there were but few of us left; in fact, the regiment looked but a lit. tle larger than a good-sized company at the beginning of the war.
We were with Gen. Hood in all his campaign, and finally crossed the Tennes- see River near Florence, Ala., preparatory to the advance into Tennessee. The day we left Florence going north toward Waynesboro and Lawrenceburg I believe was the coldest day I ever felt, and the army seemed to suffer most intensely. A bitter cold wind was whistling, and almost cut us in two. Fires lined the road every few hundred yards, and groups of ill-clad soldiers were hovering around them. You could hardly keep warm from one fire to the next. This was fear- ful weather indeed. In Wayne or Lawrence county we were furnished some un- bolted flour, and of this we made biscuits. They were indeed splendid, and were eaten with a relisli; and I cannot forego the temptation of giving the history of one of those Twenty-seventh Tennessee Confederate biscuits. I have now in my pos- session one of them which was saved by accident, having worked its way and got hidden in my brown jeans overcoat, and rescued afterward in January when we were on furlough. In repairing my coat my good wife found it, and put it away as a curiosity, not expecting to keep it so long. But it is now in my house, and resembles a small speckled rock, and would hardly be recognized as a genuine biscuit.
The Twenty-seventh was again to be called upon to hold a desperate position. We confronted the Federals strongly intrenched at Franklin. They had out a strong line of pickets, which to some extent protected us from the Federal fire as we closely pushed them to their works. Cheatham's right and Cleburne's let rested on the Columbia pike, and the First and Twenty-seventh consolidated went into the battle just in front of the locust grove to the left of the pike. It was a desperate charge, and we were exposed to a galling fire, yet the soldiers of these two divisions did not halt until the works were reached, and a number fell. and Confederate and Federal blood ran together. This fight presented a sad spectacle. and when over the questions were pertinent, "Why was this slaughter? what is ox could have been accomplished ?" The next morning the Federals had withdrawn, and here we found our comrades and quondam enemies lying close together on the field of carnage; and what had been accomplished ? This was indeed a fearful battle. Our loss was again heavy for our numbers.
After the battle of Franklin our regiment moved with Gen. Hood to the neich- borhood of Nashville, where we had a Pisgah view of the dome of our Capitol. and which -all desired to rescue from the enemy.
Hunger oppressed and annoyed us frequently on this march, as we had nothing to eat but parched corn. It could not but inspire admiration of such devotion to principle to see squads of soldiers squatted around the camp-fires parching corn until midnight to satisfy the cravings of hungry appetites.
We were with Gen. Hood and took part in the engagement at Nashville. and subsequently retreated with his army, recrossing the Tennessee River, and Kalt- ing at Corinth, Miss. The retreat through ice and snow was fearful. some of the command being thinly clad and a number barefooted. At Corinth Gen. H furloughed all the West Tennessee troops for thirty days, and we went kimse. some for the first time during the war. After returning we were ordered to North Carolina to join Gen. Jolinston's army, and with him engaged in the battle of Bentonville, and afterward surrendered with other remnants of regiments. A

part of our forces who did not return were ordered to report to Gen. Dick Tay- lor, and surrendered under him.
This is a plain, unvarnished history of the Twenty-seventh Tennessee Infan- try, which enlisted one thousand strong. Every battle-field from Shiloh to Ben- tonville contains the resting-place of some of her gallant dead. As I look over the long list and see how many true, noble men fell, the heart grows sick. The scroll of honor brightens with their names, and in every one of their native counties a shaft should be reared to their memory. On dress-parade I frequently thought the Twenty-seventh presented the finest appearance of any. It played its part gallantly and well, always meeting the expectations of the general offi- cers. Its colors have been folded forever, its arms stacked, and the regiment lives only in name. Peace to our noble fallen contrades! In the final day, when the tattoo is sounded, may the Twenty-seventh rest beyond the river, and our dress- parade be in the city of our God, clothed in habiliments of light and immortality !

The regiment was made up of companies from White, Putnam, Wilson, Jackson, and Smith counties. After the organization the regiment-together with the Twen- ty-fifth Tennessee Regiment, Capt. Nat Sanders's company of cavalry, and Capt. W. Scott Bledsoe's cavalry-was ordered to report to Gen. Albert Sidney John-ton, at Bowling Green, Ky. They commenced the march through the country from Overton to that point, passing a Union encampment known as Camp Fraim. On the approach of our command, under the gallant Col. S. S. Stanton, Capt. Fraim, with his command, dispersed. Learning that Col. Haggard was organizing a Union regiment at Burksville, Ky., Col. Stanton directed his march to that point. Col. Haggard, hearing of our approach, made good his escape. Having protected Col. Haggard's tobacco-barn, which stood in the midst of the camps, we then pro- ceeded to burn the encampment. There was also a large amount of commissa- ry and quartermaster stores destroyed at this place. We were then ordered to Monticello, Ky., to report to Gen. Zollicoffer, and took part in the battle at Fish- ing Creek. losing eight or ten men in that fight. The regiment also took part in the battle of Shiloh, under Col. Murray. In this fight the Twenty-eighth lo-t one hundred men killed and wounded. Among the killed was Maj. James Tal- burt, a brave and gallant officer. The next battle in which this regiment was en- gaged was at Baton Rouge; then at Port Hudson.
At Corinth, Miss., the regiment was reorganized, Captain U. Y. Brown, being made Colonel: P. D. Cunningham, Lieutenant-colonel; D. C. Crook, Major. Un- der this organization the regiment took part in the battles of Perryville, Ky., and Stone's River, at Murfreesboro, Tenn .; after which its ranks became so thinned that it was necessary to consolidate the regiment. Having lost the gal- lant Cunningham at the battle of Murfreesboro, and Col. Brown having been dis- charged on account of ill health, Col. S. S. Stanton and W. G. Smith procured permission from the Government at Richmond-after having served twelve months as the Twenty-fifth Tennessee Regiment-to organize at MeMinnville the Eighty-fourth Tennessee Regiment, composed of companies from White, Put- nam, Overton, Smith, De Kalb, an 1 Lincoln. Under orders from Richmond the Twenty-eighth Tennessee Regiment was consolidated with the Eighty-fourth, with S. S. Stanton, Colonel; D. C. Crook, Lieutenant-colonel; W. G. Smith. Ma- jor; and after this the consolidated regiment was known as the Twenty-eighth Tennessee Regiment, and at Tullahoma was attached to Marens J. Wright's bri- gade, Cheatham's division. Under this organization it took part in the battle of Chickamauga, one of the hardest fought battles of the war; and on Saturday and Sunday, the 19th and 20th of Sept., 1563, the regiment was engaged in the hottest of the fight, and was in the charge that captured the last works of the enemy on that occasion. We lost two hundred and thirty men killed and wounded. Among the killed was Lieut. Craighead, of Company C; among the wounded was Capt. W. H. McDonald, of Company E, and Lient. W. L. Danl , of Company G. Maj. W. G. Smith received a severe shock from the bursting of a shell, his horse being shot from under him. Daring the engagement of Saturday the ene- my discovered that we were not supported on our left, and commenced a flank movement to sarround anil capture Capt. Carnes's battery, which was attached to

Wright's brigade. To prevent this the brigade was ordered to move by the left flank, under a very heavy fire from the front and flank. For a few moments our regiment pansed. While the men were falling on the right and left from the ef- fects of the enfilading fire of the enemy with both shell and shet, Col. Stanton rode rapidly up to the Color Sergeant, and taking hold of the flag-staff, cried out: "Boys, remember we are Tennesseans; follow me!" Frank Arnold, the Color- bearer, refused to give up the flag, but followed Col. Stanton near the enemy's main line, seventy-five yards in front of where the regiment was or.lered to lie down and fire. During the time Col. Stanton had holl of the flag there were thirty holes made in it by Minie-balls. About this time Gen. Wright's home was shot from under him; and our ammunition being exhausted, and his whole staff being dismounted in the fight, the General directed Maj. Smith to go to the Eighth and Sixteenth Tennessee regiments and order them to move to the rear by the right of divisions, in order to replenish our empty cartridge-boxes-the enemy still flanking us on our left. Just as we commenced to move to the rear we met Stewart's division, marching en échelon. I never saw troops move better under a heavy fire, and I never saw as many men killed in so short a time as were killed by Stewart's men. They struck the enemy's flank, and mowed them down, and soon drove them from their position.
The Twenty-eighth Regiment, under the command of Maj. W. G. Smith, was engaged in several hard-fought skirmishes around Chattanooga, before the battle of Missionary Ridge, and just after the battle of Chickamauga, in front of Cheat- ham's division. The regiment was then ordered to Charleston, East Tennessee, to guard and protect the Hiwassee bridge, where it remained till the commence- ment of the fight at Missionary Ridge, when it was ordered from there to partic- ipate in that battle. While en route to that place Maj. W. G. Smith's war-horse " Ben Lane," which he had ridden in every battle up to that time, and which had received thirteen wounds in the battle of Chickamauga, was captured by the ene- my; also the wagon-train and regimental papers.
The regiment was engaged in every battle from Dalton to Jonesboro, and from Jonesboro to Nashville, Tenn .; and from there back through Georgia to. Greens- boro, N. C., where it was surrendered under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. Col. S. S. Stanton was killed at Resaca, Ga., in the spring of 1804; Capt. W. L. Woods, of Company G, was wounded at the same place, having one side of his jaw-bone shot out-the ball entering his mouth; Lieut. Rogers, of Company A, was also wounded at the same time, the ball entering below the right ear and coming out near the left eye. They recovered, and reported for duty again. After the death of Col. Stanton, Lient .- col. D. C. Crook was promoted to be Colonel, and Maj. W. G. Sinith, to be Lieutenant-colonel; Capt. Holman, of Company B, was promoted to the rank of Major.
The march from Dalton to Alabama was an every-day fight, in which we had a number of our men killed and wounded. At the Peach-tree Creek fight, Capt. W. C. Bryant, of Company C, was mortally wounded, and died in the hospital at Griffin, Ga .; Col. D. C. Crook was also wounded, a Minie-ball entering the body just under the breast-bone, and passing through came out near the backbone. Adjt. W. B. Whitfield, one of the most gallant officers in the war, and one of the most popular young men in the regiment, was mortally woundled in the fight at Marietta strect, and died in the hospital at Griffin, Ga .; Lieut. William Betty

was also wounded in the same fight. Maj. Holman was killed in the battle at Franklin, Tenn., in which fight the regin ent lost heavily in both officers and men, and was cheered by the gallant Gen. Carter, who fell in this engagement.
