      bRegimental History/b
      THE First Alabama infantry



      THE First Alabama infantry was the first in Alabama to enlist
      for one year, the first to re-enlist, and has the distinction
      of having served, though several times reorganized, from the
      beginning to the end of the conflict.

      Enlisting in March, 1861, it assembled at Pensacola and
      immediately began the hardest of work -- in preparing for
      defense. It was assigned to the batteries and soon earned the
      title, " Bragg's best artillerists. "

      Col. Henry D. Clayton served during the year 1861; at the end
      of one year the regiment reorganized under Col. Isaiah G. W.
      Steedman.

      It took part in the battle of Santa Rosa, and was in the
      bombardment of Pensacola, where it earned high renown. Ordered
      to Memphis, March, 1862, it saw constant service until at
      Island No. 10, where a large part of the regiment was captured;
      the remainder were in the battle of Corinth.

      In September the Island No. 10 prisoners were exchanged and the
      regiment was ordered to Port Hudson, where most of them were
      again captured.

      The enlisted men, 610 strong, were exchanged, and under command
      of the officers who escaped capture, fought at New Hope and
      Kenesaw, where a brilliant record was made; Peach Tree creek,
      Atlanta, Franklin, Nashville, Averasboro, and Bentonville.

      The regiment was greatly distinguished, suffering many losses
      in these battles, including Major Knox, the commander, who fell
      while leading his troops in the battle of Franklin.
