The 41st Alabama Infantry Regiment was organized on 16 May 1862. After proceeding to Chattanooga; it operated in middle Tennessee for some months and then joined the Army of Tennessee soon after its return from the Kentucky campaign. It was initiated into the harsh realities of war at Murfreesboro. During that episode; it lost its brigadier general and suffered 198 casualties. The regiment then remained at Tullahoma until ordered to Mississippi with the other portions of Breckinridge's Division. It was engaged in the operations for the relief of Vicksburg and was in the trenches at Jackson. Between December 31; 1862 and September 19; 1863; the regiment lost 375 men. It went into the Battle of Chickamauga with only 325 remaining. The 41st was in the forward movement at Chickamauga and in the struggle over the enemy's fortified position. Again; the brigadier general was lost as were 189 casualties of the 325 present from the regiment. As part of Longstreet's corps; the 41st participated in the struggles and privations of the winter campaign in East Tennessee; sustaining heavy losses at Knoxville. The regiment reached Virginia in April 1864 and was engaged in the Battle of Drewry's Bluff and Dutch Gap. It was then in the protracted siege at Petersburg north of the James River; and in the battles around that city. The regiment was engaged at Hatcher's Run and in the fighting on the Appomattox retreat under General Gordon. About 270 men were present under Col. Martin L. Stansel for the surrender.

This book tells the story of "the other Baltimore" and the very different world that many of us live in. Baltimore needs so much; but Watkins points to the critical need for jobs--or solid; dependable transportation to jobs or school. 2. A safe place for young people after school or during the summer; 3. Positive role models. Watkins talks of his older brother who warned him off the drug business and pointed him toward education; yet in this book; he shows Moose; whom Watkins thinks is unfairly arrested. When I looked at the video; I saw an example of guns; drugs and several very young people involved. 4. Also the prevalence of lead poisoning--really? Still? Paul Krugman in an article cautioned the West against closing the sweat shops of East Asia. He said there is no where else. The drug/addiction problem in Baltimore may in part exist for the same reason: few or no options. This book needed a good editor; but Watkins is an important voice.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. The Beast Side: Hard Truths about Real LifeBy CijaD. Watkins is an adept storyteller; thrusting the reader directly into the action of each of his essays. Yet that's not his only talent; he is able to reflect; speak his truth and in doing so allow the reader to reflect as well. "The Beast Side" is a powerful read that will give you a first-hand account of what it means to be black; especially a black man in America. I am positive this book will be used in college classrooms; teachers can explore it from a writing; sociology or even contemporary history angle.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wow!By thephatman2000This book is definitely food for thought; the flow of the narrative is very easy to follow; serious but humorous also; a must read for anyone who enjoy reading a open opinion of another. I highly recommend this book.
