Tennessee Civil War Unit History
History of the First Regiment of Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry in the Great War of the Rebellion, with the armies of the Ohio and Cumberland, under Generals Morgan, Rosecrans, Thomas, Stanley and Wilson. 1862–1865
Publication: Knoxville, TN: Gaut-Ogden Co., Printers and Binders, 1902. First Edition.
Notes: The history of a Confederate regiment that "fought through a wide area of western service in Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and Georgia. Among the actions the regiment participated in were the Tullahoma campaign, Chickamauga, Wheeler's raid, Mossy Creek, the Atlanta campaign, and Franklin and Nashville. The work reflects a great deal about the eastern Tennessee Unionist spirit... The narrative is particularly useful for illuminating a succession of minor actions rarely encountered in the literature."—Eicher, The Civil War in Books: An Analytical Bibliography, 1089 (incorrectly citing the publication year as 1896).
