*38th Infantry Regiment history:
Formerly the 8th (Looney's) Regiment, was organized at Camp Abington, Fayette County, Tennessee, in September, 1861. During December it was at Knoxville with 988 men but only 250 arms. As most of these were worthless, the General commanding the department did not allow the unit to participate in the Battle of Fishing Creek. Later it was involved in the conflicts at Shiloh and Perryville. It then was assigned to General M.J. Wright's, Strahl's, Palmer's Brigade, Army of Tennessee. During the summer of 1863 the 22nd Tennessee Infantry Battalion merged into the regiment. It was active from Murfreesboro to Atlanta, endured Hood's winter operations, and ended the war in North Carolina. The unit lost thirty percent of the 282 engaged at Murfreesboro, and there were 264 in action at Chickamauga. Only a handful surrendered on April 26, 1865.
Company "G" The Tuskaloosa Plow Boys history:
*Organized during June 1861, with J.J. Mayfield as elected captain. While in camp, they came down with measles. Because of this the regiment they were originally suppposed to join had left, and the only regiment at the camp was the 38th Tennessee Regiment. This is the reason they were never listed in an Alabama regiment.
They served at Fort Donelson, TN; the Battle of Shiloh; Chickamamauga; and the Battle of Atlanta.
