CIVIL WAR ROSTERS OF MEN FROM RUSK CO., TEXAS

It has been said that Rusk Co. had more men that enlisted in the Civil War 
than any other county in Texas. The first company that was organized in Rusk
Co. was the Boggess company which was put together on Jan. 29, 1861, after 
the South's secession from the United States. The Texas troops were not
required at first, but on April 6, 1861, the Boggess Co. was reorganized.

WALLACE'S COMPANY H 19TH TEXAS INFANTRY

This company was from Rusk Co., but also had many others from Panola & Nacogdoches Counties.
Disease was rampant in this outfit, causing 25 deaths in the last half of 1862 of of the remaining troops,
only 1/2 were well enough to make roll call. Capt. Wallace wrote a moving journal account of his

starving, sleeping in the snow without tents or blankets & of the illness they suffered.
