Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Tennessee Regiment, United States Volunteers Crittenden and the slaughter of the crew of the ill-fated Virginius, and to put an end to the starving of noncombating Cuban women and children: but over and above all surged the resolution to punish Spain for the insult offered to the stars and stripes on February 15, 1898. Then there was obliterated the imaginary line between North and South: sons of the Lost Cause and of the Union were actuated by the same high patriotism, and it could then be truthfully sung: "There is a cry that rises and swells on every breeze - No laggards on the shore and no laggards on the seas; From homes of Lee and Lincoln the patriot souls are seen - Thank God! the land's united, the old flag waves serene" And Tennessee? As had been her course since her admission into the Union in 1796, she showed by her enthusiasm her indorsement of the sentiment - "Our country, may she aways be right: but - our country, right or wrong!' All the States promised their quota of troops, but even as early as April 20, this telegram was sent to the papers from Washington, proving once more Tennessee's right to be called the Volunteer State: Washington, April 20. - All day to-day letters and telegrams have been pouring in upon Secretary of War Alger from prominent citizens of Tennessee, offering their services in the event of war. Similar telegrams have been received by the Tennessee delegation, which were duly forwarded to the war department. So far more offers have been received from Tennessee than from any other State in the Union. Under the first call for volunteers Tennessee's quota was to be three regiments of infantry. The officers of the First were: Colonel - Wm. Crawford Smith. Lieutenant Colonel - Gracey Childers. Majors - Albert B. Bayless, B. Frank Cheatham, and John G. Maguire. Major and Surgeon - Richard A. Barr. Captain and Assistant Surgeon - R. M. Kirby-Smith and Percy Jones First Lieutenant and Adjutant - James K. Polk. First Lieutenant and Quartermaster - Andrew J. Duncan. Captain and Chaplain - Lewis J. Leland. The field officers of the Second were: Colonel - Kellar Anderson. Lieutenant Colonel - Thomas E. Patterson. Majors - Frank H. Deffrey, Mark A. Walker, and George W. Seay. Those of the Third were: Colonel - James P. Fyffe. Lieutenant Colonel - Daniel M. Coffman. Majors - William Brown, James W. Meeks, and Edwin C. Ramage. Under the second call a fourth regiment was organized, with the following field officers: Colonel - George LeRoy Brown. Lieutenant Colonel - Harvey H. Hannah. Majors - William C. Tatom, William O. Vertrees, and J. Crum Epier. Two of the regiments - the Second and Third - were discharged before they saw active service in the field, and the Fourth was quartered awhile in Cuba, then discharged. While they were not permitted to take part in any of the battles between this country and Spain, or between our forces and the Filipinos, the soldiers were ready to fight like Tennesseans, and would have reflected glory on American arms. The First Tennessee Regiment was the earliest organized, the companies constituting it being Company A, Nashville: Company B, Columbia; Company C, Nashville: Company D, Lawrenceburg: Company E, Nashville: Company F, Nashville: Company G, Waverly: Company H, Clarksville: Company I, Big Sandy: Company K, Springfield: and Companies L and M to be recruited from Nashville. On April 23 the National State Guard was ordered out, the order from Adjutant Charles Sykes being addressed to the various commanders throughout the State, and to those of the First Regiment. It was made in anticipation of the President's call. The troops were to rendezvous at Nashville preparatory to being mustered into the service by Lieut. Samuel Seay, of the Fourteenth Unite...

He was one of the proprietors of the Republican Banner, one of the old Whig papers published at the capital of Tennessee. Albert received his education at the "old field schools" in and around Nashville, having by his sixteenth year acquired as thorough a knowledge of the classics and mathematics as would at this day have entitled him to an A. B. if not an A. M. degree. He entered his father's office as an apprentice, and thoroughly learned all that was practical in the "art preservative." Upon reaching his majority he spent part of one year in the capitals of Europe, serving as correspondent of the Banner, and other periodicals. Upon his return home he became a city reporter on the Banner, and many of his sketches, especially his humorous "Police Court Reports," are well remembered by the survivors of those times. In 1861, as Second Lieutenant of Company A, Twentieth Tennessee Regiment, he was mustered into the army. He was placed in charge of the company school of the officers of the regiment, and to him and Thos. B. Smith, a lieutenant of Company B, was due the proficiency in military drill and discipline attained by the Twentieth which added so much to its prestige and efficiency. At the battle of Fishing Creek, in the absence of Captain Foster of Company A, and on the death of Lieutenant Bailey Peyton, who fell early in the action, the command of Company A devolved on "John Happy," as he was then far and widely known throughout army and civil circles, by reason of his witty newspaper correspondence over this nom de plume. He gallantly led his company throughout the remainder of the battle, and on the weary and trying retreat to north Mississippi. Just prior to the battle of Shiloh, he was promoted to the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment Volunteer Infantry: C. S. A Since the year 1878, the survivors of "The Twentieth Tennessee Regiment Volunteer Infantry" have met in annual Reunion somewhere in the vicinity of Nashville on the Friday nearest to the 19th of September, that day being the anniversary of the Battle of Chickamauga. At the meeting in September, 1900, at Antioch, it was determined that the history of this command was worthy of perpetuation; and by unanimous vote, I was appointed to write this history, and was made Chairman of the Publication Committee, with Dr. Deering, J. Roberts and Ralph J. Neal, members of the Committee, the latter acting as Secretary and Treasurer. By devoting all the spare moments of a somewhat busy professional life, complicated with superadded duties, I have been able to compile this volume. A greater part of it was submitted to survivors of the various companies who were at the Reunion held at Old Jefferson, in Rutherford County, in 1902, and at the meeting held in this city at the State Capitol in September, 1903, when there were present sixty-five of the survivors, all the companies being represented by one or more members of the rank and file except Company G, to whom it was all submitted for revision, correction, or alteration, the data for Company G having been furnished by Captain Robert Anderson. With these corrections and alterations, it is most respectfully submitted to a discriminating public, with the statement, that, if the author is incorrect in his views, the same is chargeable to the sixty-five survivors of the Regiment who rejoiced together in their hours of brilliant achievements, and who mourned in unison in those times of joint trial, tribulation, and trouble.
