Brief History:
Company was organized in Anderson County, Texas, and was mustered into Confederate service "for the war" at New Orleans, June 24, 1861 by Lt. John G. Deveroux, CSA.
Throughout the war the First Texas Infantry suffered heavy casualties. At the battle of Antietam the regiment lost 82 percent of its 226 troops engaged. More than 20 percent of its 426 troops were lost at the battle of Gettysburg. At the time of its surrender at Appomattox Court House the regiment had only 16 officers and 133 men. All of the men who surrendered at Appomattox Court House were paroled by the Union Army under Ulysses S. Grant and allowed to return home.
