REGIMENTAL HISTORY
Regimental History: http://www.tarleton.edu/~kjones/alinf.html#1st-Inf

1st Alabama Infantry Regiment
The 1st Alabama Infantry regiment was the first to be organized under an act of the State
 legislature authorizing the enlistment of troops for 12 months. The companies rendezvoused 
at Pensacola in February and March 1861, and about the 1st of April organized and elected 
regimental officers. The men were recruited from Barbour, Lowndes, Macon, Pike, Talladega,
 Tallapoosa, and Wilcox counties. Transferred to the army of the Confederate States soon 
after, it remained on duty at Pensacola for a year, occupied chiefly in manning the batteries
 and taking part in bombardments on 23 Nov 61 and 1 Jan 1862. A detachment was in the night 
fight on Santa Rosa Island. As the oldest regiment in Confederate service, it was the first
 called on to reenlist for the war, at the end of the first year, and seven of the companies
 did so. Ordered to Tennessee, the regiment, 1000 strong, reached Island No. 10 on 12 March 
1862, and it joined Gen'l Johnston at Alatoona. In Gen. James Cantey's Brigade, it fought 
at New Hope Church and was afterwards transferred to Gen. William Quarles' Brigade in which 
it served until war's end. It participated at Kennesaw Mountain, lost considerably at Peach 
Tree Creek. In the assault against enemy lines at Atlanta, 28 July, the regiment won fresh
 renown but lost half its strength. They moved with Gen'l John Bell Hood into Tennessee and 
lost heavily at Franklin and Nashville. Transferred to North Carolina, they fought at 
Averysboro and Bentonville, and about 100 men surrendered at Goldsboro. Upwards of 3000 
names were on the rolls at different times during the war, including those companies that 
did not re-enlist. 

Field officers: Cols. Henry D. Clayton (until reorganization); Isaiah G. W. Steedman 
(captured at Island No. 10 and Port Hudson); Lt. Cols. I. G. W. Steedman (promoted); 
Michael B. Locke (wounded, captured at Port Hudson); Majors Jere N. Williams (until reorganization), Samuel L. Knox (captured at Island No. 10 and Port Hudson, but escaped 
from the latter; wounded at Atlanta; KIA at Franklin while commanding regiment); and 
Adjutants S. H. Dent (resigned), Samuel D. Steedman (captured at Island No. 10 and Port 
Hudson). [Compiled by Ken Jones]
