Summary

The 1st Texas Infantry earned a reputation as one of the toughest regiments of the Civil War. From the Cornfield at Antietam to the brutal fighting at Gettysburg, these soldiers repeatedly found themselves in the center of some of the war's bloodiest battles. Their courage came at an enormous cost, suffering staggering casualties while helping cement the legacy of Hood's Texas Brigade. This is the complete story of one of the Confederacy's most famous fighting regiments.
