Company K, First Alabama Regiment; or, Three Years in the Confederate Service

A company history recounts the organization, recruitment, and service of one Alabama infantry company within a larger regiment, describing elections of officers, mustering, garrison and field duty at coastal and river fortifications, participation in sieges and bombardments, re-enlistment and reorganization, marches and camp routine, and the daily hardships of soldiers. It blends operational chronology with personal anecdotes about drilling, entrenching, food and logistics, includes rolls and officer lists, and follows the company through its campaigns until the final surrender of the army it served with.
