First Mississippi Infantry Regiment
The following information is taken directly from Units of the
Confederate States Army by Joseph H. Crute, Jr. Published by Derwent
Books; Midlothian, Virginia. (c)1987.
1st Infantry Regiment, 682 strong, completed its organization at Corinth
Mississippi, during the spring of 1861. The men were raised in the
counties of Marshall, Itawamba, De Soto, Panola, Lafayette, Tishomingo,
and Smith. It was ordered to Kentucky then to Tennessee where on
February 16, 1862, it was captured at Fort Donelson. During this fight
the unit lost 16 killed and 61 wounded of the 331 engaged. Exchanged and
attached to Beall's Brigade, Department of Mississippi and East Lousiana,
it was again captured at Port Hudson. After the exchange the regiment
served in General Featherston's Brigade and fought with the Army of
Tennessee from Resaca to Bentonville. In December 1864, only 65 officers
and men were present for duty, and very few surrendered in April, 1865.
The field officers were Colonels Thomas H. Johnston and John M.
Simonton, Lieutenant Colonel A. S. Hamilton, and Major M. S. Alcorn.
