The1st of July found it in Richmond, brigaded with one
Mississippi and two North Carolina regiments under Gen. A. R.

1864,upon reorganization, the North Carolina commands were
replacedby the Fifteenth, Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth
Alabama, under General Law, whoremained in command until
January,1865, when Colonel Perry was made the brigade

Campdiseases played havoc with the regiment, and with greatly
thinnedranks it went into its first battle at Second Bull Run,
August 30, 1862, and lost two of itscaptains, T. C. Daniel and
WilliamT. King. It took part at Harper's Ferry,September 15th

timeto take a prominent part in the battle of Chickamauga,
September19th and 20th where again its loss was heavy. It
foughtat Lookout creek, October 28th, and at Knoxville,
November17th; again at Dandridge, January 16 and 17 1864.
Theregiment was sent back to Virginia in time for the battle
ofthe Wilderness, May 5th and 6th; and was at Spottsylvania,
May7th to 12th, where its casualties were great; also at

Gettysburg after battle report:
Reportof Col. William F. Perry, Forty-fourth Alabama Infantry.
NearFredericksburg, Va.,
August 8, 1863.
Sir:I have the honor to submit the following report of the part
takenby the regiment under my command in the battle of Gettysburg,
Pa., on July 2:
Itoccupied the place of the second battalion in the line formed by
thebrigade on the heights, which ran parallel with and fronting
theenemy's position. Having advanced with the brigade down the
longslope and through the intervening meadow, it was detached from
itsplace in the line, by order of Gen. Law, and by a flank movement
wasbrought to the extreme left of the brigade.
Whenat a short distance from the stone fence near the base of the
mountain,Gen. Law informed me that he expected my regiment
totake a battery which had been playing on our line from the moment
theadvance began. This battery was situated, not on the
mountainitself, but on a rugged cliff which formed the abrupt termination
ofa ridge that proceeded from the mountain, and ran in a
directionsomewhat parallel with it, leaving a valley destitute of
treesand filled with immense boulders between them. This valley,
notmore than 300 paces in breadth, and the cliff on which their artillery
wasstationed, were occupied by two regiments of the enemy's
infantry.
Thedirection of the regiment after crossing the stone fence was
suchthat a march to the front would have carried it to the right of
theenemy's position. It was, therefore, wheeled to the left, so as to
confrontthat position, its left opposite the battery, and its right
extendingtoward the base of the mountain. This movement was
executedunder fire, and within 200 yards of the enemy. The forward
movementwas immediately ordered, and was responded to with an
alacrityand courage seldom, if ever, excelled on the battle-field. As
themen emerged from the forest into the valley before mentioned,
theyreceived a deadly volley at short range, which in a few seconds
killedor disabled one-fourth their number. Halting without an
orderfrom me, and availing themselves of the shelter which the
rocksafforded, they returned the fire. Such was their extreme
exhaustion--havingmarched without interruption 24 miles to reach
thebattle-field, and advanced at a double-quick step fully a mile to
engagethe enemy--that I hesitated for an instant to order them immediately
forward.Perceiving very soon, however, that the enemy
weregiving way, I rushed forward, shouting to them to advance.
Itwas with the greatest difficulty that I could make myself heard
orunderstood above the din of battle. The order was, however,
extendedalong the line, and was promptly obeyed. The men sprang
forwardover the rocks, swept the position, and took possession of
theheights, capturing 40 or 50 prisoners around the battery and
amongthe cliffs.
Meanwhilethe enemy had put a battery in position on a terrace of
themountain to our right, which opened upon us an enfilading fire of
grapeand spherical case shot. A sharp fire of small-arms was also
openedfrom the same direction. This was not destructive, however,
owingto the protection afforded by the rocks. Soon the enemy appeared
movingdown upon our front in heavy force. At this critical
moment,Gen. Benning's brigade of Georgians advanced gallantly
intoaction. His extreme right, lapping upon my left, swarmed over
thecliffs and mingled with my men. It was now past 5 p. m. The
conflictcontinued to rage with great fury until dark. Again and
againthe enemy in great force attempted to dislodge us from the position
andretake the battery, in each case with signal failure and
heavyloss.
Lieut.-Col.[John A.] Jones, Maj. [George W.] Cary,
andLieut. [W. P.] Becker, acting adjutant, behaved with great
coolnessand courage. I abstain from mentioning by name others
whodeserve special commendation, because the list would be so long
asto confer little distinction on any single individual, and because
injusticemight be done to others, whose good conduct escaped my
observation.
Theregiment lost: Killed, 24; wounded, 66; missing, 4.
Ihave the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WILLIAMF. PERRY,
Col., Comdg.
HenryS. Figures,
ActingAssistant Adjutant-Gen., Law's Brigade.
