Regimental History
THE TWENTY-NINTH ALABAMA INFANTRY.
The Fourth Alabama battalion was organized during the fall of 1861, at Montgomery.
In February, 1862, two companies were added and the organization became known as the Twenty-ninth Alabama. It was drilled in artillery practice; remained at Pensacola until the evacuation; was between Pollard and Pensacola and at Mobile for about a year, in Cantey's brigade, which was transferred to the army of
Tennessee in the spring of 1864, and took part in the battle of Resaca, May 13th, where it fought brilliantly.
At New Hope it lost heavily, and at Peachtree Creek it met with fearful slaughter. At Atlanta, July 8th, again its loss was terrible. It went with Hood to Tennessee, and was at Franklin and Nashville; in both battles its loss was great.
Later it was transferred to the Carolinas, fought at Kinston and Bentonville, and with less than 100 men surrendered at Greensboro.
Capts. Berry G. Brown, John M. Hanna, Ulee W. Mills and J. C. Hailey were killed at Atlanta; Capts. E. Orear and John Allen at Franklin; Capt. Berry G. Brown at Nashville; Capts. William H. Musgrove, B. F. Sapps, Hugh Latham and J. B. Lowell died in the service.
The field officers were: Col. J. R. F. Tattnall, transferred to the navy, and Col. John F. Conoly, Lieut.Col. Benjamin Morris, and Maj. B. Turner, wounded at Atlanta.
