After twelve years of research, the regimental history of the 7th Regt. Miss. Inf. has been published and can be ordered by contacting me or at our website: www.7miss.org. This regiment was part of the Mississippi "High Pressure Brigade" and was pivotal in all of the major actions of the Army of Tennessee, including time on the Bridgeport, Alabama line in August of 1863, the Atlanta Campaign, Franklin, Nashville, and the retreat through northern Alabama in December of 1864. "Lest We Forget-The Immortal Seventh" is a chronological record of all known letters, diaries, official reports, and family lore attributed to this group of Southern patriots from their muster in Southwest Mississippi in 1861 until their surrender in North Carolina in 1865. A majority of the cited works are primary sources and previously unpublished. Related regiments are also cited particularly Ketchum's/ Garrity's/Bond's Alabama Battery, Deas/ Coltart's Brigade and Wheeler's 19th Alabama and Clanton's 1st Alabama cavalry in actions in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee.

Our first book signing will be on September 25, 2012 at 6:30 PM at the Acworth Bookstore on Main Street in Acworth. Books will be available at the store.
