1st Regiment, Tennessee
Infantry (Turney's)
"Units of the Confederate States Army" by Joseph H. Crute, Jr.
contains no history for this unit.
29th Regiment, Tennessee
Infantry
29th Infantry Regiment was assembled at Henderson's Mills, Greene County,
Tennessee, in September, 1861. Its members were raised in the counties of
Bradley, Polk, Claiborne, Hancock, Hawkins, Greene, and Washington. The unit
took part in the conflicts at Fishing Creek, Munfordville, and Perryville,
then was placed in P.Smith's, Vaughan's, and Palmer's Brigade, Army of
Tennessee. During September, 1864, it was consolidated with the 11th Regiment.
It participated in the various campaigns of the army from Murfreesboro to
Atlanta, was involved in Hood's winter operations in Tennessee, and fought in
North Carolina. In January, 1862, the regiment reported 493 present for duty,
sustained 29 casualties at Fishing Creek, and lost fifty-one percent of the
220 at Murfreesboro. It had 71 disabled at Chickamauga and in December, 1863,
totaled 236 men and 173 arms. Only a remnant surrendered in April, 1865. The

Cavalry (Forrest's)
3rd (Forrest's Old) Cavalry Regiment was organized at Memphis, Tennessee, in

increased to regimental size. The history of this unit is very complex because
over twenty companies from Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Mississippi, and
Louisiana were attached to it at one time or another. After the Battle of
Shiloh, four companies were transferred to the 4th (Russell's) Alabama Cavalry
Regiment and thereafter it was called 18th or 26th Battalion, Balch's
Battalion, and McDonald's Battalion. It fought at Fort Donelson and Shiloh,
and during April, 1862, contained 463 effectives. The unit was attached to
Forres's, F.C. Armstrong's, and E.W. Rucker's Brigade, and served in the Army
of Tennessee and the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana.
It confronted the Federals in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Alabama,
and surrendered in May, 1865. The field officers were Colonels Nathan B.
Forrest and David C. Kelley; Lieutenant Colonels P.T. Allin, Robert M. Balch,
and Edward E. Porter; and Majors James C. Blanton, William E. Forrest, Charles
McDonald, and Edwin A. Spotswood.
5th Regiment, Texas Cavalry
(5th Mounted Volunteers)

San Antonio, Bonham, Weatherford, and Austin. After serving with the Army of
New Mexico it was assigned to Green's, Hardeman's, and Debray's Brigade in the
Trans-Mississippi Department. The regiment fought in Louisiana and reported 99
casualties at Cox's Plantation and 7 at Bayou Bourbeau. Later it moved to
Huntsville, Texas, and disbanded before the surrender in June, 1865. The field
officers were Colonels Thomas Green and Henry C. McNeill, Lieutenant Colonel
Denman W. Shannon, and Majors Samuel A. Lockridge and Hugh A. McPhaill.
