THE TWENTY-EIGHTH ALABAMA INFANTRY.
The Twenty-eighth Alabama was organized at Shelby Springs in
March, 1862, to serve for three years.
It was assigned to the army of Mississippi, brigaded under
General Trapier, shortly afterward receiving Colonel Manigault
for its brigade commander.
At Corinth, prostrated by the usual camp diseases, its ranks were
perceptibly thinned by sickness and death. The regiment went
into Kentucky with General Bragg, and at Munfordville, September
16, 1862, was greatly praised for the alacrity of its obedience
and the calm, cool, heroic courage of its officers and men.
At Murfreesboro, December 31st to January 2nd, it led, with the
Twenty-fourth and Thirty-fourth, three separate charges of the
brigade, losing heavily. At Chickamauga, September 19-20, 1863,
its conduct was superb, as described in the official reports.
At the battle of Lookout Mountain, November 24th, the regiment
found itself in a tight place, nearly surrounded by the enemy,
but it succeeded by desperate fighting in extricating itself with
a loss of 172 killed, wounded and captured.
At Missionary Ridge, November 25th, it was again engaged. During
the winter of 1863-64, while wintering at Dalton, the regiment
re-enlisted and afterward took part in the Dalton-Atlanta
campaign, and the Tennessee campaign.
At Ezra Chapel, July 28, 1864, the second sortie from Atlanta,
the regiment fought with its usual valor. At Franklin, November
30th, it was again engaged, and at Nashville, losing heavily.
The remnant of the regiment, with those left of the Twenty-fourth
and Thirty-fourth, after having fought together throughout their
service, were consolidated under Col. J. C. Carter, Lieut. Col.
Starke H. Oliver and Maj. P. G. Wood, and were surrendered at
Greensboro, N. C., with Gen. S. D. Lee's corps.
Capt. W. M. Hawkins was killed, and Capt. G. W. Hewitt wounded,
at Murfreesboro; the latter was again wounded at Chickamauga, as
was also Capt. James H. Graham. Capt. F. A. Musgrove was wounded
at Murfreesboro. Lieutenant Jordan was killed after performing
prodigies of valor at Chickamauga, Capt. W. R. McAdory at
Missionary Ridge, Capt. William A. McLeod at Atlanta, Capt. H. G.
Loller at Resaca, and Capt. John F. Wilson at Franklin. Capt.
John H. Turpin was wounded and captured at Murfreesboro.
Its commanders were Col. J. W. Frazer, a West Point graduate, who
first served as lieutenant-colonel of the Eighth Alabama;
resigning his colonelcy of the Twenty-eighth, he was made a
brigadier-general and was captured at Cumberland Gap; Col. J. C.
Reid, Lieut.-Cols. T. W. W. Davis, transferred to the navy, and
W. L. Butler, who was wounded and captured at Nashville; Colonel
Carter, Lieutenant-Colonel Oliver and Major Wood, after the
consolidation with the other regiments.
