Nineteenth Tennessee Infantry
On the morning of the 19th of September, 1861, at daylight, firing
commenced, but it turned out to be only a few bush-whackers, or probably
some of the young men of the village, who fired on us. The skirmish is
mentioned only to record what I believe to be the fall of the first
Confederate soldier outside of Virginia. Lieut. Robt. Powell (Co. K) was
killed here. He was a quiet man, but of true courage. Shortly after this the
regiment moved with Zollicoffer's command back into Tennessee, and then into
Kentucky again, passing through Jamestown, Overton county. At the fierce
little engagement of Wild Cat, near London, Ky., October 21, 1861, it was
held in reserve while Col. Newman's and other regiments attempted
unsuccessfully to dislodge the enemy from a strong position in a
mountain-pass. We marched thence to Mill Springs, Ky., and crossing the
Cumberland River, established camps on its north bank, thus having the river
between us and Tennessee. Here we went into winter-quarters, having thrown
up what was then supposed to be extensive earth-works for our protection.
But Gen. Thomas was approaching us, and it seemed wise to go out and attack
him; so on the night of the 18th of January, 1862, Gen. Zollicoffer marched
with his whole force--some thirty-five hundred infantry--from his fortified
camp twelve miles to Fishing Creek, which part of Thomas's force was
reported to have crossed, leaving a part on the other side. It was therefore
proposed to destroy these forces in detail. But it so happened that the
force which had crossed was larger than Zollicoffer's, and the fight proved
disastrous. Here the brave Zollicoffer was slain. He fell in the line of the
Nineteenth Tennessee Regiment. In this fight Co. Blost Lieut. Conley; Co. K,
Carrol Carmack, a much-loved and gallant boy, and others of the regiment
killed, and many wounded. It was a fierce fight of two hours, and the
retreat was made in great disorder. Reaching the fortified camp at
night-fall, at midnight the retreat toward Murfreesboro, Tenn., commenced.
By sunrise January 20th, the Nineteenth Regiment had crossed the Cumberland,
and marched thence to Murfreesboro to join Gen. A. S. Johnston's force
retreating from Bowling Green, Ky. On this march the suffering of the men
from hunger was extreme. From the fight on January 19 to the following
Wednesday night they had nothing to eat except meat one night, without any
bread or salt or any thing to cook it in. When we got flour it was without
salt, and it was cooked by making it into dough and rolling this out into
strings the size of your finger, turning it around a ramrod, and sticking
this in the ground near the fire. The suffering from cold was also very
great. Few blankets were brought from our winter-quarters, and the snow fell
and the weather was very severe. Consequently, when the regiment reached
Murfreesboro it was greatly reduced by sickness, and in a very bad
condition. A few days rest, however, greatly improved its condition, and
when Gen. Johnston resumed the march toward Shiloh it had recovered much of
its strength and spirit.*[* The regiment was first in Zollicoffer's brigade.
After his death Col. Tatham, of the Fifteenth Mississippi, commanded the
brigade, till after the battle of Shiloh. While under Tatham the brigade was
in Breckinridge's division, Bragg's (?) corps. Col. Tatham died at Vicksburg
during the first siege, and Gen. Lusk, of Arkansas, commanded the brigade
for a short time. When the division left Mississippi the brigade was under
command of Col. F. M. Walker, of our regiment. Rejoining Bragg's army at
Murfreesboro, the Nineteenth was placed in Stewart's brigade, Cheatham's
division, Polk's corps. After the battle at that place, Stewart being
promoted and transferred, the brigade--composed of the Fourth, Fifth,
Nineteenth, Twenty-fourth, Thirty-first, and Thirty-third Tennessee
regiments--was commanded by Gen. Strahl. After Chickamauga our brigade was
transferred, and fought with Stewart's division at Missionary Ridge. When
Gen. Johnston took command of the army we were returned to Cheatham's
division, Hardee's corps. Early in June Col. Walker was put in command of
Maney's brigade, taking his regiment with him, and was in that relation when
he fell at Atlanta, July 22. Soon after this event the regiment resumed its
position in Strahl's brigade. Gen. Hardee left us, and Gen. Cheatham took
command of Hardee's corps at Lovejoy, Ga., and Gen. John C. Brown command of
Cheathams division. The campaign into Middle Tennessee was made under these
officers. Gen. Strahl fell at Franklin. Col. A. J. Kellar took command of
the brigade after the battle of Franklin. After the retreat of Hood's army
from Nashville the command went via Corinth, Miss., to North Carolina, where
after re?¡§|rganization the surrender took place, the regiment being then in
Palmer's brigade. This note, and other matter incorporated in Col.
Heiskell's sketch, was furnished by the Rev. J. A. Lyons (Co. E), now living
in Nashville. J. B. L.]

I am having to do this from memory as I don't have my geneaology info
with me.
Frederick Carmack married Martha Ann Edwards. Her dad Berry Edwards was
given
land after the treaty with the Creek Indians in Alabama. As a little
girl of about 8
she was walking along with her brother Jimmie (I cannot remember how old
he was at the time, probably 11)when Jimmie was shot in the back with
arrows and died. The 2 Indians called to
her to run along or the same fate awaited her.
When the renegade Creek Indians were in a warring mood Berry would take
his family across
the river into Columbus, Georgia. During one such occasion he and a
friend returned to
his land to tend to the garden and were killed by Indians. Gardens
provided food inorder to
survive. The sad part is that back then there was no compensation given
by our government when such incidences occurred to the victim's family.
The widow
married again. This account was recorded and many other incidences that
happened
to other families by a Reverend Cherry.
I was impressed that a journal was kept by Reverend Cherry and published
in hardback
for personal accounts to be read by forthcoming generations. However the
movie versions of
Indians has not been erased from my mind as from the incidences recorded
were some really
civilized in that time frame?
