COMPANY A, 24th TENNESSEE REGIMENT, CONFEDERATE ARMY
Newspaper chipping furnished by Sue Ferguson Puckett



Company "A" was organized in Versailles, Tennessee under the two oak trees on the south side of the store. The record established by the 24th during battles at Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Stones River, Chicamauga, and Atlanta is one of great interest to Versailles and the Tenth District.

Records at the National Battlefield at Murfreesboro reveal the 24th as a well-organized regiment. They served under General Bragg and were assigned to vital points in the thick of the conflict. Many descendants of this regiment still reside in the area.
