From Ken Jones' Web Site 59th Alabama Infantry Regiment
The 59th Alabama Infantry
Regiment was formed by the consolidation of the Second and Fourth
Battalions of Hilliard's Legion. The Legion was organized at Montgomery,
25 June 1862, and consisted of five battalions , one of which was mounted,
and being detached in a short time thereafter, became part of the Tenth
Confederate Regiment. The Second Battalion, six companies, was commanded
by Lt. Col. Bolling Hall of Autauga and Major W. Stubblefield of Coosa;
the Fourth Battalion was commanded by major John D. McLennan of Barbour.
The Legion proceeded to East Tennessee, nearly 3000 strong, under its
commander, Col. Hilliard of Montgomery. Proceeding to Cumberland Gap, it
was part of the force that besieged that position. In October, the Legion
was a part of the force that occupied Kentucky, a fatiguing march. It
passed the winter and summer following in East Tennessee, during which
time Col. Jack Thorington of Montgomery (First Battalion) succeeded Col.
Hillards, and in April 1863 it was attached to Gen'l Gracie's Brigade. The
Legion was in the Battle of Chickamauga where it lost more than half its
number; the flag of the Second Battalion, for example, had 81 bullet
holes. Moving into East Tennessee, Col. Thorington having resigned, the
Legion was divided into the 59th and 60th Alabama Regiments, and 23rd
Battalion, at Charleston, 25 Nov 1863. The 59th was in the investment of
Knoxville and the fights at Dandridge and Bean's Station, with some
casualties, especially at the latter. In April 1864, the regiment reached
Richmond and shortly after took part in the battle of Drewry's Bluff and
the fight with Sheridan. From June until the March following, the 59th was
in the trenches of Petersburg or in the numerous conflicts on the flank
and rear of the army, losing a number at Hatcher's Run and White Oaks
Road. As part of Gordon's Corps, Bushrod Johnston's Division, the regiment
was engaged at Appomattox and there surrendered.
