The Sixtieth Tennessee and Their Involvement in the War
The men of the Sixtieth Tennessee were not involved in the war effort for an extended period of time; however, their time spent in support of the Confederacy was valuable nonetheless. The Sixtieth Tennessee was a Confederate Infantry unit from the Jonesboro and Haynesville area of East Tennessee. They were organized October 1, 1862, and officially mustered into Confederate service on November 7. The regiment was originally known as the Seventy-ninth Tennessee Infantry; however, they were officially designated as the Sixtieth Tennessee Infantry by the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office. The unit was comprised of ten companies, and commanded by Colonel John H. Crawford, Colonel Nathan Gregg, and Lieutenant Colonel James Alexander Rhea. The Sixtieth Tennessee joined the Sixty-first and Sixty-second Tennessee Infantries to form Vaughn's Brigade under the command of Gen. John C. Vaughn.
