The Old Nineteenth Tennessee Regiment, CSA, June 1861-April 1865.
Nashville: Paragon Press, 1902. First. Hard Bound. VG/VG+ / None. Item #558
A VERY SPECIAL BOOK, IT BELONGED TO PVT. JAMES LYONS, COMPANY “E” OF THE 19TH. HE HAS ANNOTATED THROUGHOUT THE LAST HALF OF THE BOOK WITH COMMENTS THAT SUBSTANTIATE, REFUTE, OR ADD NEW INFO TO THE TEXT. UNFORTUNATELY, LYONS DID NOT JOIN THE UNIT UNTIL 1863 SO PRIOR SERVICE OF THE REGIMENT IS NOT COMMENTED ON. THE AUTHOR WAS THE UNIT’S SURGEON.
A VERY RARE AND EXPENSIVE BOOK ONCE FOUND. IT TOOK THIS DEALER 20 YEARS TO FIND THIS COPY. THE UNIT WAS RAISED PRIMARILY IN EAST TENNESSEE AND THE KNOXVILLE AREA.
The 19th served in the Army of Tennessee, most of the time under General Cheatham's command. It fought at Stone's River, Chickamauga, Atlanta Campaign and Franklin/Nashville.
