Description

In July 1863, at Tullahoma, two additional companies were attached to the Alabama 9th Infantry Battalion, and the 58th Infantry Regiment was thus formed, 28 June 1863. Men in the regiment were from Barbour, Calhoun, Coffee, Dale, Fayette, Geneva, Henry, Jefferson, Pike, St. Clair, and Talladega counties. Placed in General William B. Bate's Brigade, the regiment was in the Battle of Chickamauga in September. On the first day, it captured four pieces of artillery; on the second, it was in a desperate charge which broke the enemy line. Unfortunately, its losses were 148 out of 254 men. A few weeks later, November 1863, the regiment was consolidated with the 32nd Alabama. The field officers of the 58th were retained, and the new regiment was placed in Clayton's Brigade. The consolidated regiment had 400 present at Missionary Ridge, but it lost 250 in casualties and prisoners. The regiment wintered at Dalton, GA. At Resaca, within a few minutes, it lost 95 killed and wounded out of 300 engaged. It was in numerous skirmishes during the retreat and fought at the battles of New Hope and Kennesaw Mountain. The 32nd-58th Alabama was also in the battles around Atlanta with a long list of casualties. It moved with General John Bell Hood into Tennessee and participated at Columbia, Franklin, and Nashville, and again at Franklin on the retreat. Ordered to Spanish Fort, the regiment was in the garrison there during the siege. It surrendered at Meridian, MS, under Col. Bush Jones. Companies Of The Alabama 58th Infantry Regiment Co.
