The brigade was part of Major General Richard H. Anderson’s division, which eventually was assigned to General Longstreet’s Corps in the Army of Northern Virginia. After the siege of Yorktown in 1862, the 14th Regiment was returned to Richmond. It saw action at the Battle of Seven Pines (Fair Oaks), Gaines Mille and at Frazier’s Farm and suffered heavy casualties. Hurst was wounded in the Battle of Gaines’ Mill on June 27, 1862. The unit fought at the Battle of Second Manassas, Harper’s Ferry, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. In September 1862, the 14th was transferred from Pryor’s command to Brigadier General Cadmus M. Wilcox’s brigade, which also included the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th Alabama Infantry Regiments, Anderson’s Division of Longstreet’s Corps.

Hurst remained with the 14th Regiment throughout the war, finally surrendering at Appomattox. This is a brand new, unread, pristine condition booklet. It has no shortcomings.
