The Alabama 46th Infantry Regiment was organized at Loachapoka; in the spring of 1862. Shortly after; it was sent to east Tennessee; and had several casualties in the fight at Tazewell. The regiment was in the weary march into Kentucky; in Stevenson's division; but did no fighting. When the army returned to Tennessee; the Forty-sixth was placed in a brigade with the Twentieth; Twenty-third; Thirtieth; and Thirty-first Alabama; under Gen. Tracy. In December; with all of Stevenson's division; the regiment was sent to Mississippi. In the battle of Port Gibson; where its brigadier fell; the regiment suffered severely. A few days later it was engaged at Baker's Creek; where its casualties were numerous; and where half the regiment was captured; including the field officers. The remainder were besieged in Vicksburg; suffering severely; and were captured with the fortress. Reorganized at Demopolis; with Gen. Pettus in command of the brigade; the Forty-sixth rejoined the Army of Tennessee. It lost considerably at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge; and made its winter quarters at Dalton. At Crow's Valley it was engaged; with several casualties. In the almost constant fighting from Dalton to Atlanta; the ranks of the Forty-sixth were thinned and at Jonesboro its list of casualties was large. Marching with Hood into Tennessee; it was one of the three regiments that made the brilliant fight at Columbia; where its loss was considerable. The Forty-sixth lost several killed and wounded at Nashville; and quite a number captured. It was the rear guard on the retreat; and the brigade was complimented by Gen. Hood in special orders for its services there. Transferred to North Carolina; the Forty-sixth was engaged at Kinston and Bentonville; with severe loss in the latter. Consolidated with the Twenty-third Alabama; with J. B. Bibb of Montgomery as colonel; (Col. Woods was transferred to the Nineteenth Alabama;) Osceola Kyle as lieutenant colonel; and J. T. Hester of Montgomery as major; the Forty-sixth was surrendered at Salisbury by Capt. Brewer; who had commanded it for two years. Companies Of The AL 46th Infantry Regiment Co. A - Coosa -- George E.

Review

What he actually said was ""History is more or less bunk." Donald Jeffries has elaborated on this theme in his new book by showing that behind what is commonly perceived these days as history is the real truth; or "Hidden History."As he writes in his Foreword; "There is a willful desire on the part of those in positions of authority to keep the masses down; to involve us in perpetual wars; and to deny the great majority of Americans true liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Until the Internet came along; Americans had to rely on the television networks; daily newspapers; and large circulation magazines for their information. Now that there are finally true alternative sources available on the web; the dishonest nature of the mainstream media is brutally apparent. It's become almost comical to watch these relics from a bygone era continue to babble on about an absurdly restricted selection of topics; to control the tenor of debate; and transparently attempt to manipulate the public; as they were so successful in the past...In the pages that follow; you'll find an uninterrupted timeline of conspiratorial activity on the part of our leaders."I have been an attorney for over four decades. If I were a law school professor today teaching criminal law; I would make Jeffries' "Hidden History" suggested reading supplementary to the students' mandatory assignments. Why? Because his book truly shows the world as it really it is.Paul Craig Roberts; former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Reagan; recently opined: "Americans are a pitifully misinformed people. All of history is a history of false flag operations. Yet Americans dismiss such proven operations as `conspiracy theories;' which merely proves that government has successfully brainwashed insouciant Americans and deprived them of the ability to recognize the truth."Americans are the foremost among the captive nations."Who will liberate them?"Liberation can start by reading "Hidden History."2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Hidden HistoryBy Linda KindleVery interesting.....and scary. If only a fourth of this book is true it's way too much. It makes good arguments and presents many facts; that I'm sure could be checked ( I didn't ). I have read most of the Kennedy books and found his information to be in line with everything else I have read. If history and politics interest you it's a must read Life is smoke and mirrors.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Well worth the read!!! Interested in JFK; this is a start and there are other books that dig deeper into JFK's murder.By LaMoA VERY good book. Was recommended by a doctor I work with and I'd heard about some of this information over the years but to read about it broke my heart. I'm so happy we don't have a politician in office now.
