About this title

Synopsis

They bore the brunt of the mightiest army in the world - names like Shiloh, Atlanta and Franklin are proudly emblazoned across their war torn battle flag. Approximately 1100 of these men marched off to war, yet only 46 of the original members of the regiment were present at their surrender four years later. "The Ninth Tennessee Infantry - A Roster" chronicles the experiences of this gallant regiment. Taken directly from the Compiled Service Records, it includes an overview of the regiment, a chronology, each soldier's official war record and a listing of the final resting places of its members. This publication will be an excellent resource for Genealogists, Researchers, Interpretative Historians and Civil War enthusiasts.

Review

Band Of Brothers tells the story of the "Southern Confederates", one of the most well educated, zealously religious and unbelievably gallant group of men to engage in the American Civil War. An immortal "band of brothers", their trials of being 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 recounted, and much, much more! An educator who joined the war to watch over his young students, Captain James I. Hall's reminiscences and letters are present in full. Also included is 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 faithfully chronicled. No Civil War studies library can be considered complete without the addition of James Fleming's Band Of Brothers.
