"General, I have not heard from you with regard to the new Texas regiments, which you promised to raise for the army. I need them very much.

I rely upon those we have in all our tight places, and fear I have to call upon them too often. They have fought grandly and nobly, and we must have more of them. Please make every possible exertion to get them on for me. You must help us in this matter. With a few more regiments such as Hood now has, as an example of daring and bravery, I could feel more confident of the campaign."

- General Lee to General Wigfall, 1862

With a few more regiments such as Hood now has, as an example of daring and bravery, I could feel more confident of the campaign."

"But the half of brave Hood’s body molders here:
The rest was lost in honors bold career.
Both limbs and fame he scattered all around,
Yet still, though mangled, was with honor crowned;
For ever ready with his blood to part,
War left him nothing whole-except his heart."

~Pvt. Sam Watkins, First Tenn. Infantry~

"When the fortunes of war were against us, the same faithful soldiers remained true to their flag, and with rare exceptions followed it in retreat as they had borne it in advance."

~Gen. John Bell Hood
