Co. I - 20th Alabama Infantry Regiment


"The Southern Cross of Honor"
                          


20th AL Inf. Regt. Flag

Story of the Unit Thomas, Stephen and John
 served in during the Civil War: 

20th Alabama Infantry Regiment

The 20th Alabama Infantry Regiment was organized at Montgomery, with recruits from Bibb, Dallas, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Perry, Russell, Tuscaloosa, and Washington counties, on 16 September 1861.

 Proceeding to Mobile in November and to Knoxville in February 1862, the regiment was placed under Gen'l Danville Leadbetter of Mobile. Transferred to Gen'l Seth M. Barton's Brigade, the 20th operated for some time in east Tennessee and advanced into Kentucky with Gen'l Kirby Smith, being in Gen'l Alexander Reynolds' Brigade, Henry Heth's Division. 

It was in the pursuit of Union Gen'l Joshua W. Sill along the Salt River and joined Gen'l Braxton Bragg just after the Battle of Perryville. The regiment was in Col. T. H. Taylor's Brigade for a short time, but shortly after the return to Tennessee, a brigade of Alabamians was organized, the 20th, 23rd, 30th, 31st, and 46th regiments, and placed under Gen'l Edward D. Tracy of Madison, and in Carter Stevenson's Division. 

A few days prior to the Battle of Murfreesboro, the division was sent to Vicksburg, and the regiment fought at Port Gibson the following spring, losing heavily in casualties. At Baker's Creek it again suffered severely, and was then at Vicksburg. During the siege there, the ranks of the 20th were greatly thinned, and it was surrendered with the fortress. 

After the fall of Gen'l Tracy at Port Gibson, Gen'l Stephen D. Lee of South Carolina commanded the brigade, until Gen'l Edmund Pettus of Dallas was placed over it in the parole camp at Demopolis. 

Ordered to join Gen'l Bragg, the 20th participated in the battle of Missionary Ridge without loss. 

The winter was passed at Dalton, and the regiment was engaged in the constant fighting from Dalton to Atlanta, being conspicuous at Rocky Face Ridge, and losing heavily at Kennesaw. 

It participated at Jonesboro, suffering severely. It moved into Tennessee with Gen'l John Bell Hood, and lost heavily at Nashville. 

From that field, the 20th passed into North Carolina and fought at Kinston and Bentonville. It was surrendered at Salisbury, about 165 rank and file of the original 1100 men with which the 20th took the field. 

At the close of the war, the 20th was consolidated with the 30th Infantry Regiment at Smithfield, 9 April 1865.
