    • Abstract:
      Members of the 1st Alabama took great pride in their work at Port Hudson, and one member of the regiment bragged that he and his comrades "repulsed with slaughter" every Union attack on their position. And, as happened in so many units during the war, disease wracked the regiment not long after it formed, meaning the regiment's first casualties and deaths were the result of measles, malaria, or typhoid fever. Departments FINDING ENTHUSIASTIC VOLUNTEERS to serve was not a problem for the 1st Alabama Infantry at the outset of the Civil War. [Extracted from the article]
