51st Regiment, Virginia Infantry
51st Infantry Regiment was formed in August, 1861, with eleven companies. Company L was later assigned to the 23rd Battalion. Its members were recruited in the counties of Wythe, Nelson, Bland, Floyd, and Grayson. During the war it started in General Floyd's and G.C. Wharton's Brigade. The 51st served in the Army of the Kanawha, moved to Tennessee, and after fighting at Fort Donelson marched to Nashville with 274 men. Later it was sent to western Virginia, saw action at Carnifax Ferry, then returned to Tennessee where it was involved in the Knoxville Campaign. The unit went on to fight in numerous conflicts in the Shenandoah Valley and sometime around April 15, 1865, disbanded. It reported 9 killed, 43 wounded, and 5 missing at Fort Donelson, and 3 killed and 16 wounded at Fayetteville. Only a handful remained after the Battle of Waynesborough. The field officers were Colonels Augustus Forsberg and Gabriel C. Wharton; Lieutenant Colonels George A. Cunningham, James W. Massie, and John P. Wolfe; and Majors William T. Akers, Stephen M. Dickey, D.P. Graham, D.S. Hounshell, and William A. Yonce.

Report of Lieut. Col. John J. Wade, Fifty-fourth Virginia
Infantry.

HDQRS. FIFTY-FOURTH VIRGINIA REGT.,
Camp near Chattanooga, Tenn., September 25, 1863.
CAPT.: I have the honor to submit the following report of the
part my regiment took in the battles of the 19th and 20th instant,
near Chickamauga Creek:

On the evening of the 18th, as we approached the creek from La
Fayette the enemy was discovered in a large corn-field on the
opposite side. Our battery was put in position, and the brigade
formed in line of battle to the left on a rocky ridge. A brisk
skirmish was kept up until after dark, in which a portion of Gen.
Gracie's brigade was engaged. My regiment was afterward
moved down near the creek and put into position below Col.
Kelly's brigade, in order to support him in the event of an attack
during the night.

On the morning of the 19th, at an early hour, I crossed the creek
and rejoined the brigade, which I found forming in line on the
north side and not far from the creek. After remaining in line for
an hour or more, we were moved across a ridge in our front and
a new line established, the left resting nearly on the creek. While
there the enemy opened with a battery in our front and threw a
few shells, which passed beyond my right an did some damage
to the Sixth Florida. The brigade was next moved by the right
flank nearly half a mile and a new line formed on the comb of
the ridge parallel with the road, where we remained for several
hours, during which time the heavy firing which began on our
right had gradually approached our front, and about 12 m. the
enemy opened on us with a battery located above the corn-field
immediately in our front, and at intervals during the afternoon
threw shell and shot all around us, without doing any damage to
my regiment except a slight wound to the color bearer from a
fragment of a shell.

About 3 p. m. we were ordered to engage the enemy, and Col.
Trigg advanced the brigade in line through the woods to the
cornfield fence, on reaching which a volley was fired by the
brigade, which drove the enemy from the cleared land in our
front. In my
regiment an irregular fire was kept up for several minutes
afterward, which prevented my order to advance from being
heard, and when I crossed the fence I discovered that the Sixth
Florida was a short distance in advance of my regiment. I
hurried forward t close the line, and had crossed the open field
under a most galling fire of the enemy, and was in the act
crossing the second fence when I was met by Gen. Robertson, of
Gen. Hodd's division, who said he had been sent to conduct the
brigade into the fight, we were going wrong, and that our
formation should be made on his (Texas) brigade, in the woods
to the right of the field. Knowing that we were to be subject to
Gen. Hood's orders, I suffered my regiment to be conducted by
him and moved by the right flank along the crossfence to the
woods, where I remained until joined by the brigade commander
and the rest of the brigade.

I lost in this movement 3 killed and 35 wounded, 1 mortally.
Capt. J. R. Hammet, of Company I, I regret to report, received
here a dangerous wound, and was borne off the field. Three of
the number reported wounded received their injuries by the fall
of a tree, which was struck by a shell. We bivouacked that night
in front on the battle-field and without fire.

On the morning of the 20th, we were formed in line in rear of
Gen. Hindman's left, and about 10 a. m. were double-quicked to
the front to repel a flanking column of the enemy, but our
moment had been anticipated and the enemy driven back before
we reached the field. A heavy battery was nevertheless put into
position and our brigade formed in its support. After remaining
in this position a short time, we were moved up the Chattanooga
road and formed in line in near of a battalion of artillery which
was planted on the crest of the ridge to the left of the road.
While here Col. Trigg moved back with two regiment (the
Seventh and First Florida) to resist and anticipated movement of
the enemy's cavalry, and during the absence of our brigade
commander an urgent order came for the brigade to advance.
Col. Finley, of the Sixth Florida, taking the command of the two
remaining regiments (the Sixth Florida and Fifty-fourth Virginia
Volunteers) moved rapidly toward some high wooded ridges on
which the enemy had marched a most obstinate stand. We
approached the woodland under fire of a battery on the ridge,
and, moving up a spur of the ridge to the left of his battery, the
two regiment charged up the slope in admirable order, driving
the enemy before them. On reaching the top of the ridge, we
were joined by Col. Trigg and the other portion of our brigade,
and finding that the enemy was concealed in the bushes on a
ridge to our right, the brigade was wheeled and advanced up the
side of the ridge until in full view of the enemy. Upon demand
of surrender and after some delay, some 500 of them laid down
their arms. It was now dark, and while Col. Trigg was in the act
of diving the prisoners between the Sixth Florida and my
regiment for the purpose of taking them off the field, a party of
the enemy who lay concealed in a short distance from my
regiment poured a volley us, evidently with the intention of
producing some confusion in order two effect the escape of the
prisoners. Only 1 man was injured by this fire, and he was a
mounted orderly of the brigade commander.

My regiment captured here four flags, which have been turned
over with the names of the captors.

I lost on this day but 1 man killed and 7 wounded, besides the
orderly, who was from my regiment.

Recapitulation: Killed on the 19th, 3; wounded on the
19th, 35. Killed on the 20th, 1; wounded on the 20th, 8. Total
casualties on both days, 47.

Respectfully submitted.

JNo. J. WADE,
Lieut.-Col., Comdg.

Capt. JAMES BENAGH,
Assistant Adjutant-Gen.
