Texas (back)
"The men who carried this position were soldiers indeed!"
-- Maj. Gen. T.J. (Stonewall) Jackson, In tribute to the Texas Brigade at Gaines' Mill – June 27, 1862
Texas Brigade units engaged in the Battle of Gaines' Mill, Va.
Brig. Gen. John Bell Hood's Brigade
1st Texas -- Volunteer Infantry Regiment
4th Texas -- Volunteer Infantry Regiment
5th Texas -- Volunteer Infantry Regiment
18th Georgia -- Volunteer Infantry Regiment
Hampton's Legion, South Carolina -- 8 Infantry Companies
Texas units formed the major portion of Hood's Brigade, thus it was commonly known as the Texas Brigade, but the 18th Georgia, Hampton's Legion, and later the 3rd Arkansas were integral parts of the brigade.
Texas remembers and honors her sons and those of her sister states who fought with them. They sleep the sleep of the brave. |
