Eighteenth Tennessee Infantry

In the latter part of April, 1861, soon after the guns turned upon Fort Sumter, sounded the "doom-peal" which inaugurated the war of the rebellion, a company was rapidly formed in Rutherford county, and organized by the election of the following-named officers: Captain, J. B. Palmer; First Lieutenant, W. R. Butler; Second Lieutenant, Frank Lytle; Third Lieutenant, Isham Randolph.

Capt. Palmer was a prominent citizen and a leading lawyer of Murfreesboro, who was warmly attached to the Union, and, though deeply sensible of the wrongs which had been inflicted upon the South, earnestly hoped that the existing troubles might be settled without resort to arms, or to the equally radical measure of secession. When, however, he saw that the final issue had been made, he unhesitatingly espoused the cause of his native South, and took active steps to render all the aid in his power. Recognizing in him all the qualities necessary to make an able, a daring, and yet a prudent commander, the brave men who formed the company by general acclaim chose him as their leader. The company was promptly sworn into the service, and by the 24th of May reached Camp Trousdale, the established rendezvous, near the Kentucky line. Other companies from various parts of the State had already arrived and were constantly coming into camp, and the organization of regiments was rapidly progressing.

Perceiving the skill of Capt. Palmer in handling his company, his courteous and knightly bearing, and his general fitness as a commander, the following-named companies readily united on the 11th day of June, 1861, in constituting the Eighteenth Tennessee Regiment:
Capt. J. B. Palmer's company, from Rutherford county;
Capt. M. R. Rushing's company, from Cannon county;
Capt. H. J. St. John's company, Cannon county;
Capt. B. G. Wood's company, Rutherford and Cannon counties;
Capt. B. F. Webb's company, Rutherford and Bedford counties;
Capt. A. G. Carden's company, Wilson county;
Capt. W. J. Grayson's company, Wilson county;
Capt. A. J. McWhirter's company, Davidson county;
Capt. Gid. H. Lowe's company, Cheatham county;
Capt. W. H. Joyner's company, Sumner county.

In the organization of this regiment--one of the gallantest that ever faced the enemy--Capt. Palmer was unanimously elected Colonel. The other officers were installed as follows: Lieutenant-colonel, A. G. Carden; Major, Samuel Davis; Adjutant, J. W. Roscoe; Capt. R. P. Crockett, Quartermaster; Capt. William Wood, Commissary; Dr. John Patterson, Surgeon; Dr. Gowan, Assistant Surgeon; James Barton, Sergeant-major. Lieut. W. R. Butler was elected Captain of Palmer's company, and Capt. William Putnam succeeded Capt. Carden after the latter's promotion. Capt. Grayson died while at Camp Trousdale, and was succeeded by Capt. William P. Bandy.

At its organization, the Eighteenth Tennessee Regiment was composed of over one thousand men, who in physique, morale, and all the soldierly qualities were unsurpassed by the personnel of any other command. When it surrendered, less than one hundred men answered to their names at roll-call. The striking difference in the number reported at Camp Trousdale and at Greensboro represents those who, in the four eventful years, were killed in battle or who died from wounds or disease, and those who at the time of the surrender still suffered in hospitals or lingered in Northern prisons. Of the voices which answered not when the last roll was called a mournful number were hushed in death.
