Tuskaloosa Plow Boys

Company G, 38th Tennessee Infantry Regiment
Tuskaloosa Plow Boys

The Tuskaloosa Plow Boys were organized during June 1861, with J. J. Mayfield as elected captain. While in camp, they came down with the measles. Because of this the regiment they were originally suppose to join had left, and the only regiment left at the camp was the 38th Tennessee Regiment. This is the reason they were never listed in an Alabama regiment.

They served at Fort Donelson, TN; the Battle of Shiloh; Chickamauga; and the Battle of Atlanta.

The commanders of the regiment were Colonels John C. Carter and R. F. Looney; Lieutenant Colonels A. D. Gwynne, Ed J. Golladay, and H. D. Greer; and Majors H. A. Abington, H. W. Cotter, and D. H. Thrasher.

Credit for information concerning "The Plow Boys" must be given to the late Reverend J. A. Mitchell of Reform. Reverend Mitchell was a member of the company and wrote several articles for the News during November and December 1925 about this company.
