Serving as part of Wilcox's/Perrin's/Sanders'/Forney's Alabama Brigade throughout most of the war, you can also find additional information as to their movements and general experience by doing research from the brigade level, or by looking into other regiments of the brigade.

Here's a good account of the brigade's actions in the battle of the Crater:

Colonel Hilary A. Herbert's history of the 8th Alabama, which served in the same brigade, can be read online here:

Posted as Moderator: I am moving your thread to our Regimental Histories forum. There is a regular group of knowledgeable and eager participants in that forum that'll probably put you on information overload about the 10th Alabama. Is that Infantry or Cavalry?

Another welcome here. I had a relative serve in the 10th, but have been unable to locate much info on him,
so the links posted today are a great find for me. And to think, I only got online to send off my RT newsletter, before retiring to watch movies.

Thanks for all the input. Anyone with relatives in the 1oth?

Live in Virginia, but originally from Tuscaloosa. My GG Grandmother was six when the Yankees visited her home. They burned all of the farm implements and took what food they had. She and her mother dug dirt from the floor of the smokehouse and boiled it. Spooned off the fat that bubbled to the surface. Yankees on the way to burn the University.

I had an ancestor that served in the 11th Alabama which drew one of it's companies from Tuscaloosa County.

Thanks! Letters from Foust are great resource as I had a relative in Co. B. I am writing a "paper" on the 10th.

Nothing on him specifically, and little on the 10th in general. Last time I tried any serous searching was maybe 8 years ago. From the links posted here so far, seems a lot is starting to come out. Even the Ala. site showed almost nothing earlier, so some great work is being done there now. And I've just started digging thru Fold3 for the family in general, so hope to locate something there.
Did find the death certificate (?) of one that died at Point Lookout, a project I've spent a lot more time on. Plan on adding it, and other material I found there, to my website.
Took me over 10 years to find a copy of "Point Lookout Prison Camp For Confederates" by Beitzell (signed even) that has helped me a lot. Hope to give a presentation at my RT on it, since it is so rarely mentioned in talks on POW camps.

Anyway, will look forward to reading your paper on the 10th. Maybe you can get enough to even publish a book on it.
