Regimental History
First Infantry
TENNESSEE
(3-YEARS)
First Infantry. -- Col., Robert K. Byrd; Lieut.-Cols., James
G. Spears, Milton L. Phillips, John Ellis; Majs., James T.
Shelley, Benjamin F. Taylor.
This regiment was organized by Col. Byrd, at Camp Dick
Robinson, Ky., in Aug., 1861. It was first under fire in the
engagement at Wild Cat, and was afterward present at the
battle of Mill Springs.
It also assisted in the capture of Cumberland Gap, where it
remained until the evacuation of that post by Gen. Morgan. It
then retreated with the remainder of the command to Ohio, and
thence went on an expedition up the Kanawha valley.
Returning, it went by way of Louisville to Nashville and
arrived in time to participate in the battle at Stone's River,
after which it returned to Lexington, Ky. It then entered
East Tennessee under Gen. Burnside and was present at the
siege of Knoxville.
During the winter of 1863 it was stationed at Kingston, and in
the spring entered upon the Atlanta campaign participating in
all of the engagements until just previous to the surrender of
the city, when the greater portion of the regiment was
discharged on account of the expiration of term of service.
The veterans and recruits were consolidated into a battalion
of two companies and retained in service until Aug. 8, 1865,
when they were mustered out in accordance with orders from the
war department.
While at Cumberland Gap a detachment of the 1st and 2nd Tenn.
regiments, consisting of 69 men, led by Capt. Meyers and
Lieut. Rogers, captured an important outpost of the
Confederates without the loss of a man. For this exploit a
complimentary notice was read on dress parade by order of Gen.
Morgan.
