Book Description
Includes photos, documents, maps, and bibliography. This book provides a comprehensive historical narrative chronicling the life and times of 1,550 men from five Alabama counties - Tuscaloosa, Pickens, Fayette, Greene and Perry - who fought with the 41st Alabama Regiment during the Civil War. Exceptionally well documented, over 450 never before published letters and scores of official documents provide graphic insights about the lives and times of Alabama citizen soldiers, their families and communities. The 41st engaged in over 40 combat situations, fighting with the Army of Tennessee in Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi, and eventually serving in the trenches in Petersburg alongside Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Of interest to Civil War researchers and genealogists, the service record of every soldier known to have served with the 41st is contained in the book.
