101 Terry L Futrell

101 provides an intimate look at the men, mostly from Roane County, Tennessee, who sacrificed and fought together as brothers in Company H of the 3rd Regiment East Tennessee Infantry (USA). Based on years of research, the book explores the conditions and events in East Tennessee that led these men to leave their homes and families and travel on foot through rugged mountains in the dead of winter to enlist in the Union Army. Read a comprehensive summary of Civil War events in Roane County that conveys the hardships experienced by their families under occupation by both armies. Accompany the 101 men of Company H as they experience the major actions of the Civil War. Finally, explore the transcribed military records of all 101 men for an intimate look at their personal experiences in this horrific war that was anything but civil. With precise attention to detail and a disciplined approach, retired engineer and technical manager Terry Futrell addresses several historical inaccuracies and omissions regarding Company H and Roane County. These include the counties of origin of the men, the true identity of the man who led the attempt to burn the Loudon bridge, the untold story of a second Loudon bridge-burning attempt, and the correct identity of the 3rd Regiment that participated in the Battle of Franklin. Updated with enhanced information about Wheeler's 1864 raid through Roane County.
