CSA Tennessee State Militia?
Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 6:58 pm
I've been looking to improve the historical accuracy of the names/nicknames of state militia units and the volunteer militia units. I have plenty of info on the Union Tennesseee militia but almost nothing on the CSA militia.
So far, I've only found the 121st and 155th militia regiments and a small handful of local defense units. I find it hard to believe that the Union raised more militia in Tenn. than did the CSA. Not to mention the fact that surely there were state militia in 1861. Information regarding the Tennesse state militia, its history, etc. is almost none existant from my searches.
Does anyone have any information or sites that might be helpful. ((I've examined the WIKI already)).
