Description
FORWARD, MY BRAVE BOYS! tells the story of the 11th Tennessee Infantry, a unit comprised of ten companies of men raised from five Middle TN counties in the early spring of 1861. These soldiers were transformed from raw citizens into a ferocious band of fighters, eventually becoming part of General Cheathams hard-hitting division. They were in the thickest fighting at Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge, and held the Dead Angle at Kennesaw Mountain. They took heavy casualties assaulting the Federal lines in the fighting around Atlanta, and broke the Union defenses at Franklin. Follow the survivors to Nashville for Hoods futile attempt to regain the TN capital, and then on to Bentonville and their surrender at Greensboro. This book takes the reader into their camps, on the march, and onto the line of battle through first-hand accounts. Many never-before-published photographs of the soldiers, newly created battle maps, as well as an extensive biographical roster.
