"Western boys, and they will soon give you a belly full of fighting."

Sadly, they will get off to a rocky start, courtesy of CSA BG Nathan Bedford Forrest.
After that they will serve throughout the western theater eventually becoming a very solid unit.
Their total casualties were relatively small, compared to some more famous regiments.
