avis Rifles of the 37th Virgina Infantry Regiment

[Southern Son]

I have read in the book 'Born Fighting' by James Webb a little story of 37th Virgina Infantry Regiment.
One of the authors ancestor served in the Company D of the Davis Rifles of the 37th Regiment,Virginia Infantry, under the leadership of Gen.Stonewall Jackson.The offical records show that 1490 men volunteered to join the 37th Regiment.At the end of the war only 39 were left,when Gen.Lee surrendered at Appomattox.
The Davis Rifles were not unique in this fate.To his knowledge,no modern army has exceeded the percentage of the losses the Conferderate Army endured,and only the Scottish regiments in WW1 and the Germans in WW2 come close.
77 of the 425 Generals of the south died.
From the North 47 of its 583 Generals.
The men of the Conferderate Army gave every ounce of courage and loyality to the leadership they trusted and respected.
I was very surprised by the high casualties from the southern regiments.

Born Fighting is a book,how the 'Scots-Irish shaped America'.
