Hello, my name is Tim Burgess and for the past 20 years I have been researching the Confederate Soldiers killed or mortally wounded at the Battles of Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee and all the actions within Gen. Hood's Tennessee Campaign of 1864/65. I wish to publish the Confederate Death Roster upon completion. I have at present documented well over 1500 Confederate Dead from Franklin and over 350 from Nashville along with many from the other various engagements. I have details regarding their Deaths and Burials. In the process I have gathered copies of letters, diaries, and over 100 photographs of these brave men and boys from across the South. I wish to correspond with any descendants of these men in hopes of gathering biographical and family information on these soldiers for use in my book. Please feel free to contact me at . Thank you. --- Tim Burgess

I am writing a book on Captain Daniel Ellis, the Old Red Fox of East Tennessee, who guided thousands of escapees from the south through the Appalachian Mountains to the Union lines. I think I'm well covered on secondary sources (see my web site at http://www.nku.edu/~ellisa/danielellis) and am looking for primary sources, photos, artifacts, etc., as may be useful for this book. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Allen Ellis.

"The Black Flower, a Novel of the Civil War," by Howard Bahr. Published by Henry Holt & Company, New York, New York. "When I was first asked to review this book, I wasn't quite sure where to place my review on my regimental histories website. I settled on Tennessee, because this fiction book by Mr. Bahr is a Civil War novel with the backdrop taking place immediately prior to, during and after the horrible battle of Franklin, TN, November 29, 1864. As a novel, it follows in the footsteps of Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels. The impact on your emotions and sense is instantaneous. Brilliantly painting the true terror of war in its nakedness, you will be drawn into Bushrod Carter's friendship with Virgil C. Johnson; share in his sorrow when "Virgil C." is accidentally killed by one of their own men, one Nebo Gloster. Included in the main core of characters is Anna Hereford, niece of John McGavock, where his home will be converted into a Confederate field hospital, partaking first hand in the true terror of the effects of the battlefield on human flesh and bones. As an artist's ability explodes on canvas, this first book by the former curator of William Faulkner's homestead and museum in Oxford, MS paints an absorbing picture of the feelings of the average foot soldier. I agree wholeheartedly with Shelby Foote and I highly recommend this book. Although fiction, Howard Bahr blends historical facts that will satisfy most Civil War buffs. My biggest disappointment was the meager coverage of the fact that General John Bell Hood's Confederate Army of Tennessee lost an unbelievable 6 (six) Generals this day, including one of my personal heroes, Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne. Bahr does have the immortal Nathan Bedford Forrest making a cameo appearance, only implicitly implies his ability to make me crave Cleburne's being within the novel; to bring life to Cleburne as he so magnificently does with Bushrod. But we must realize that this is not a historical account of the battle of Franklin, but focuses through fiction, what all "matter of fact" books normally do not, and that is bring alive the inner thoughts, the emotions, the plight of what these human beings felt and experienced; come to think of it, isn't that in part why we spend so much time researching these valiant men and women of the Civil War era?

"Tennesse in the Civil War, 1861-1865," by General Marcus Wright. Originally published in 1908 at New York, Newww York, this is a two-volume set that was originally published during the Civil War Centennial. One volume contains an alphabetical listing of every Confederate (and Union) soldier from Tennessee. The other volume has a history of each unit, and references to the city and/or county from which the men were recruited. It is an invaluable resource. These volumes have been reprinted and are available from the University of Tennessee Press. Many good libraries will also have a set. (Submitted to us by Allen Sullivant, Nashville, TN, SCV). 228 page reprint, costs $ 35.00.

"Military Annals of Tennessee (Confederate)," by John Berrian Lindsley. Originally released in the 1880's, it contains the unit histories for every Confederate organization from Tennessee as submitted by former members or officers. Some of these histories are sketchy, other are quite extensive. Broadfoot Publishers have recently reprinted this book (as a 2 volume set). (Submitted to us by Allen Sullivant, Nashville, TN, SCV).

"Blue Springs, A History of the Desperate Battles at Blue Springs for the Control of Upper East Tennessee During the Civil War," by William A. Beard III, with a foreword by Earl Fletcher. Originally released in 1997 by the Town of Mosheim, Tennessee in conjunction with Strawberry Plains Press, TN 37871. "In this day and age, where we are displaced by at least two, but most likely by three generations from the men who fought and gave their lives for the ultimate cause, we normally find direct descendants who are the ones that will be those that will compile authority scripts on a particular Civil War Regiment, which obviously will include their forefather. That is their calling and contribution. With a little twist, we find "Dewey" Beard following these footpaths. Mr. Beard being a re-enactor of the 79th NY Highlanders, brings with him the passion and fervor that is the prerequisite of a fine book. That he has done. As Earl Fletcher notes, "this book is stuffed" full of photos and maps that is sure to please those interested in this particular battle as well as showing the "dug" artifacts of some many quite fascinating armaments of the time. Mr. Beard being a native of East Tennessee, his passion and association with historical groups spans over 27 years. And even though his book is not a true "regimental history" of a particular unit, I've found in my review that this book is worthy of note to fellow Civil War enthusiasts. Although Eastern Tennessee is not remembered for hosting the Major Conflicts, it suntil holds it place of importance. Beard's book traces those important days in late summer to winter days of 1863 which would ultimately decide the fate of disagreement in this part of the South. CSA Brigadier General John Williams will parlay his meager forces against Union Major General Ambrose Burnside's soon to be overwhelming numbers. Well researched and documented with sufficient photos to please all, this is an example of research worthy of becoming printed material. 107 pages with plenty of photos of "dug relics" from the battlefields of East Tennessee, order of battle, chronology of events, as well as a bibliography, I recommend this book to fellow Civil War enthusiasts. The only drawback, which is normal in many instances, is the 8 1/2 by 11" in "glue" backing may not be up to the lasting expectations of the average library use. It should hold up for the average buff's library.(Reviewed by Ronald A. Mosocco, the owner of this website).

1^st Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Regiment, "Company Aytch, Maury Grays, First Tennessee Regiment, C.S.A.: A Side Show of the Big Show," by Private Samuel R. Watkins, Company H, 1^st Tennessee. Originally published in 1882 by the Presbyterian Printing House, Nashville, Tennessee, with 236 pages. Watkins wrote his book in 1881; the Columbia Herald picked it up in a series and printed it during 1881. Watkins decided to test the market and in the 1^st edition ran 2,000 copies. It was reprinted again in 1900 by the Chattanooga Times Newspaper with another 2,000 copies. Although it is a superb book, the mystic of this book has superseded most other regimental histories, as is expected in any print avenue. If there is a demand for a certain topic, there will be one book that will become the book that others will be measured by. This is one of them. As such, this book was reprinted numerous times including: 1952 by McCowat-Mercer Press, Jackson, Tennessee, with 231 pages and a new introduction by Bell I. Wiley; in 1982 by Morningside Bookstore and again in 1987 by Broadfoot. It was also reprinted in 1962 by Collier Books, New York, New York. If you want to read this book purchase a recent edition copy. In addition, if you also want to become a collector of fine books, then look for an earlier edition. (by Ronald A.

3^rd Tennessee, "Holding the Line: The Third Tennessee Infantry, 1861-1864," by Captain Flavel C. Barber and edited by Robert H. Ferrell. Originally published in 1994 by Kent State University Press, Kent, Ohio. The foundation of the book is the diaries of Flavel C. Barber, Captain of Companies A and K and later Major of the 3^rd Tennessee until his death at Resaca, GA in 1864. The 3^rd Tennessee was mustered in at Lynnville, in early 1861 and served at Fort Donelson, where it was captured in February, 1862. Barber was imprisoned, first at Camp Chase and afterward at Johnson's Island, where he began his narrative, recounting the events leading up to the fall of Fort Donelson and giving an excellent account of prison life at that stage of the war. After exchange, the regiment reorganized and played a key role in the Confederate victory at Chickasaw Bayou, which Barber describes in sufficient detail to warrant a reexamination of our understanding of the role of the 3^rd Tennessee in that battle. General S.D. Lee's report of the battle leads us to believe that all of the few Confederate regiments present share equally in the repulse of William T. Sherman's Yankees. Captain Barber's account makes clear that the 3^rd Tennessee bore the brunt of the fighting or at least played a more prominent role in turning back the Federals. The regiment subsequently served at Port Hudson on the Mississippi River, formed part of the army assembled by General Joseph E. Johnston to break the siege of Vicksburg, and fought in the Atlanta Campaign, where Barber was killed. Barber's diaries are well written descriptions of the battles and marches of the regiment, his experiences as a prisoner of war, and camp life. Particularly touching are his revealing passages that portray a lonesome husband longing to be reunited with his wife. A troop roster, compiled by Barber during the War, and the many footnotes provided by editor Ferrell add great value to this fine book. (from an article by Charles R. Norville), 281 pages, maps, roster, costs $ 25.00.

3^rd Tennessee, "Valleys of the Shadow: The Memoirs of Confederate Captain Reuben G. Clark," by Reuben G. Clark. Edited by Willene B. Clark.

5^th Tennessee, "Volunteers for the Union and Liberty: History of the 5^th Tennessee Infantry, U.S.A., 1862-1865," by Robert K. Cannon. After more than 5 years of extensive research and compiling information on the 5^th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Regiment, U.S.A., author Robert Cannon and the Bohemian Brigade Bookshop (7347 Middlebrook Pike, Knoxville, TN 37909, 615-694-8227) are pleased to announce the release of his much awaited, in-depth study of this proud and courageous group of volunteers known as the 5th Tennessee. Follow these men step-by-step through experiences and battles from the beginning of their involvement at Cumberland Gap to the final drama at Wilmington, N.C. Descendants of the 5th will find the personal information and photographs of the officers of great interest. Cannon has successfully uncovered documents, personal letters, and records which enable the reader to gain insight into the lives of these men. Their lives are followed from the beginning through battles, injuries, captures, and in some cases, to their deaths during service or after the War upon returning home. Photographs of the period are included along with photos of families, battle sites, and equipment. Many detailed maps, clarifying locations are included. These maps, which are easy to follow, clearly lead the reader through the areas of the country where the 5th Tennessee engaged in combat. Whether the reader is a descendent of these volunteers, a knowledgeable historian, or a student seeking information of this time, the impression of the men, their ideals, their loyalty and steadfast support of the Union during this period of our history will be remembered long after the facts are forgotten. Cannon has portrayed more than Civil War records, battle information, and personal insights. He has given us a look back into time and people who had to make an unbelievable decision, sometimes going against their own families, to stand up for their beliefs. He has provided a look at the lives of these brave and proud men, which we will not find in the average historical accounts. (paid ad) 428 pages, maps, cost $ 40.00.

43rd Tennessee Infantry - Crute's "Units of the Confederate States Army" says this about the 43rd: ...."{also called 5th East Tennessee Volunteer Regiment} was organized at Knoxville, Tennessee, during December, 1861. Its members were recruited in the counties of Polk, Rhea, Meigs, Bledsoe, Hawkins, Roane, Jefferson, McMinn, Bradley, and Hamilton. It moved to Virginia, Kentucky, then Mississippi where it was assigned to A.W. Reynold' Brigade in the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana. The unit fought at Champion's Hill and Big Black River Bridge, then was captured in the fight for Vicksburg. After being exchanged and reorganized as mounted infantry, it was attached to General Vaughn's Brigade and during April, 1864, contained 215 effectives. It joined General Early in the Valley of Virginia and was active in the battles and skirmishes of his campaign. Later the regiment fought at Russellville in Tennesssee, returned to Virginia, moved to North Carolina where it joined President Davis' escort, and ended the war at Washington, Georgia, in May, 1865, with a force of 123 men. The field officers were Colonel James W. Gillespie, Lieutenant Colonel David M. Key, and Majors Lawson Guthrie and William H. McKamy."

59^th Tennessee, "Valleys of the Shadow: The Memoirs of Confederate Captain Reuben G. Clark," by Reuben G. Clark. Edited by Willene B. Clark. Reuben Clark enlisted as a lieutenant with the 3rd Tennessee, C.S.A., but most of his service was with the 59^th Tennessee. This book relates the experiences of an East Tennessee man who opposed secession in the Confederate army. Clark participated in the Vicksburg campaign, the 1864 Shenandoah Valley campaign, the siege of Knoxville and military activity elsewhere is southwest Virginia and East Tennessee. Captured twice, he ended the war in a Federal prison. Apart from attention to various military actions, Clark's memoirs illuminate the bitter divisions the war brought to heavily Unionist East Tennessee. Perhaps because it was written so long after the war, the narrative expresses little anger toward the Federals. For example, Clarks describes the burning of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, by Jubal A. Early's cavalry in July, 1864 as a "distressing scene to witness, and one among the many horrible expedients of the war." A brief history of the 59th Tennessee Mounted Infantry (with emphasis on Company I) complements Clark's narrative. (Reviewed by Gary W. Gallagher). This 165 page 1994 reprint costs $ 25.00.
