During the Tennessee campaign I was not with the Thirtieth Regiment, but was ordered to the command of the first brigade of Gen. Lyons's division of cav- alry. We organized in December, at Paris, and started with eleven hundred men and two pieces of artillery, crossing the Tennessee River on flat-boats; reached the Cumberland River and captured a large steamer. I crossed the river, and then capt- ured six more boats, loaded with supplies for the Federal army at Nashville, and burned them. We then burned a few transports near Clarksville, and started on our raid, capturing Hopkinsville, Trenton, Cadiz, Canton, Hartford, Elizabeth- town, Nolin Station, Columbia, Burksville, Livingston. Sparta, and MeMinnville, and crossed the Tennessee River at Deposit, reaching Tuscaloosa about Jan. 15, 1865. We were out on the raid forty-five days, and swam the Tennessee, Cum- berland, and Green rivers twice, had four snows on us, and captured a much larger force than our own. Four separate Federal cavalry commands attempted to catch us, including Gen. McCook, with twenty-five hundred men; yet we fought them,

and kept all those commands off of us, losing but few of our number, and inflicted a large loss upon the Federal army.
I find that the memorial roll of the Thirtieth Tennessee is not complete, bat the loss of records and death of my officers prevent it being made perfect.
To the survivors of the Tenth Tennessee (Irish) Regiment, which at my re- quest was under my command for two years, I desire to say that no truer or braver soldiers were enlisted under the banner of freedom.

THIRTY-FIRST TENNESSEE INFANTRY. BY A. H. BRADFORD, BROWNSVILLE, TENN.
TuIs regiment was organized in compliance with orders issued by Governor Isham G. Harris for State volunteers in the summer of 1861. The organization took place at Trenton, in Gibson county, West Tennessee, by the election of A. H. Bradford, of Haywood county, Colonel; C. M. Cason, of MeNairy counts, Lien- tenant-colonel; John Smith, of MeNairy county, Major. The regiment consisted of ten companies, and had a total of about one thousand men at first. The Cap-

tains were: E. E. Tansil, John Elliot, and T. L. Bell, of Weakley county; W. Y. Baker, Caleb MeKnight, and W. B. Clayton, of McNairy county; G. B. Robison, of Gibson county; Jonathan Luten, of Decatur county; L. Hoak, of Haywood county ; and F. E. P. Stafford, of Madison county.
On the 29th of November, 1861, the regiment received orders to proceed to Columbus, Ky., and was placed in the brigade of Gen. J. P. Mccown, where it remained until Columbus was evacuated. After the fall of Fort Donelson, it was embarked down the river to Madison Bend, and was engaged in the defense of that place, being stationed at Tiptonville. A short time before the surrender of this position, the regiment was moved to Fort Pillow, and placed under the com- mand of Brig .- gen. A. P. Stewart. Not long after this the battle of Shiloh was fought, and we received orders to proceed to Corinth, Miss., to aid in checking the advance of the Federal army. Here we remained till about the 1st of June, and most of the time were kept on outpost duty, and had many severe skirmishes with the enemy. When Corinth was abandoned and the army removed to Tupelo, Miss., we remained in the same brigade under Gen. Stewart. After a short stay here we moved with Bragg's army to Chattanooga, and thence into Kentucky, taking an active part in this thrilling campaign. The first heavy engagement was at the battle of Perryville, commanded by Lieut .- col. Stafford. In this battle many men and some of our best officers were killed and wounded. The second year Capt. E. E. Tansil was elected Colonel, but was soon after transferred to the cavalry, so that Lieut .- col. Stafford remained in command; Col. A. H. Bradford acting chief of staff for Gen. J. P. McCown, who commanded the cavalry on the left at this engagement. After the battle of Perryville the regiment retreated with the other forces under Gen. Bragg to Knoxville, through Crab Orchard Gap. On the 30th of November, 1862, we moved from Knoxville to Murfreesboro, where, on December 31st, we took part in the battle fought on that day, led by Col. F. E. P. Stafford and Maj. Sharp, in Stewart's brigade, Cheatham's division. January 4, 1863, we were ordered to Shelbyville, and then to Chattanooga, where we arrived on the 25th of August, 1863, and on September 19, 1863, were engaged in the great battle of Chickamauga. After the battle we remained near this place for some time, and then fell back with the army to Dalton, Ga. Some of the offi- cers being placed on post duty, the regiment was now in command of Col. Stafford and Maj. Wm. Gay. In the retreat from Dalton to Atlanta we were engaged with the enemy almost daily for many weeks, taking active part in the battle of Kennesaw Mountain, and on the 22d of July, 1864, in the general engagement at Atlanta, losing many valuable officers and men.
About the 3d of October following we were placed in Hood's division and sent into Tennessee, making forced marches, and fought in the memorable battle of Frank- lin, in which most of our men and officers fell .: The brave Col. F. E. P. Stafford was killed in the enemy's works, sword in hand. It was a heart-rending scene to witness the fall of so many of the bravest and truest men in an hour; and indeed, we here felt that our cause was virtually lost. We marched from Franklin to Nashville, where we kept the enemy in check for awhile, and afterward retreated. The survivors of the regiment were given a furlough to go to their homes in West Tennessee. The army moved into North Carolina, where they finally surren- dered. But few of the men of the regiment could reach the army, being cut off by the enemy, and surrendered at different places at the close of the war. It was
461

a singular coincidence that when our regiment was organized in West Tennessee there was one organized about the same time in East Tennessee, and by some mis- hap both got the same number, and both were commanded by Bradfords. It is well to notice the difference.
I am indebted to Maj. J. A. Austin and Lieut. J. B. Winston for their aid in getting up this statement and data.
Below is a list of the officers and men remaining in the Thirty-first Tennessee Regiment at the time of the surrender of the Army of Tennessee, near Greens- boro, N. C., April 26, 1865.

HEAD-QUARTERS ARMY OF TENNESSEE, near Greensboro, N. C., April 26, 1865. GENERAL ORDER, No. 1x.
I. By the terms of a Military Convention made on the 20th inst., by Maj .- gen. W. T. Sher- man, U. S. A., and Gen. Joe E. Johnston, C. S. A., the men and officers of this army are to bind themselves not to take up army against the United States until properly relieved front that obligation, and shall receive guarantees from the United States officers against molestation from the United States authorities so long as they observe that obligation and the law enforce i where they reside.
II. For these objects duplicate muster-rolls will be made out immediately, and after the dis- tribution of the necessary papers the troops will march under their officers to their respect- ive States and there be disbanded-all retaining personal property.
III. The object of this Convention is pacification to the extent of the authority of the con :- manders who made it.
IV. Events in Virginia, which broke every hope of success by war, imposed upon its General the duty of sparing the blood of this gallant army and saving our country from further dev- astation, and our people from ruin.
