About This Book

An eyewitness account provides a detailed, unit-level narrative of the Regular Brigade's formation, organization, and day-by-day movements and engagements during the Battle of Stone River. It lists battalion composition and commanders, traces marches and encampments toward Murfreesboro, and follows deployment into cedar woods and open fields, describing artillery placement, skirmishes, shifts of front, ammunition shortages, and tactical withdrawals as the wider army line was pushed back and reformed along the railroad and turnpike. The narrative emphasizes orders, terrain, timing of maneuvers, and the actions of battalions and battery, aiming to record a factual memorial of the brigade's participation.
