The 10th originated in Mount and Musket back in 2011 as the 10te Prussian infantry regiment, we played the mod N&S off and on over the course of a few years but not really with much solidarity until now. As a regiment we strive for excellence on the battlefield and more than anything else enjoyment of the game. If you'd be interested in joining us add ibsocal on steam.

The 10th is a NA based regiment with 2 companies of Line and Light averaging 40 members an event. We look forward to adding a 3rd company in the not so distant future if time/commitment permits it.

The 10th Tennessee Infantry was organized at Fort Henry, on the Tennessee River, in May of 1861, just a few weeks after the first shot was fired at Fort Sumpter. The Colonel of the regiment was a Prussian named Adolphus Heiman, who would after his death be replaced by Lieutenant Colonel Randal W. McGavock as Colonel.

On July 1861, the Tenth Tennessee Regiment of Volunteers with 720 men armed with flintlock musket rifles were mustered into the Confederate Army. Garrisoned at Fort Henry until February 1862, they left there after Federal bombardment to Fort Donelson. On February 13, 1862 Federal forces attacked Fort Donelson, three days later the Fort surrendered. The Tenth endured many loses, the field and staff officers who survived were captured and sent to Fort Warren; the non-commissioned officers and privates were sent to Camp Chase and Camp Douglas, Illinois. Officers and enlisted men were exchanged and paroled and sent down to Vicksburg, from there they transported by railway and reorganized in Clinton, Mississippi. The men of the 10th Tennessee were gallantly involved in such battles as Raymond, Mississippi, Chickamauga, Georgia, Missionary Ridge, Tennessee, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Atlanta, Georgia.

The 10th was one of only two Irish Catholic regiments in the Confederate Army, although their elected officers were mostly Ulster-Scots Protestants.

They built Forts Henry and Donelson and then were captured and held in Camp Douglas Prison. Reconstituted, the 10th were deployed as sharpshooters through the tough campaigns at Chickamauga, Chattanooga and Atlanta.

The Regimental flag originally belonged to Company 'D' of the Tennessee Home Guards (State Militia). It was outlined in Kelly Green on a light green background. A gold harp, maroon trim with white lettering; above the harp, "Sons of Erin"; below the harp "Go Where Glory Waits You".

The unlucky 10th Tennessee Infantry was organized in 1861, just a few weeks after the first shot was fired at Fort Sumpter. The "Sons of Erin's" motto was "Go where Glory Waits You." At the fighting at Fort Donelson the 10th Tennessee suffered severe losses and earned the nickname of "The Bloody Tenth." After the surrender of Fort Donelson, the field and staff officers were taken as prisoners of war, moved to Fort Warren and Camp Douglas where they received cruel treatment, but were eventually exchanged in 1862. The reunited 10th Brigade was then ordered to Vicksburg where they suffered another bloody defeat at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou. They continued to fight for the losing cause until the end of the war. There were less than 100 men left in the 10th Tennessee Infantry at the closing of the war, and every one of them had been wounded, many times.
