Excerpt from A History of the Henry County Commands Which Served in the Confederate States Army: Including Rosters of the Various Companies Enlisted in Henry County, Tenn;; With Portraits
The months of May, June and July, 1861, were spent in building fortifications and drilling and learn ing the theoretical part of warfare.
The State of Tennessee, having cast its fortunes with the Confederate States, the State troops were all mustered into the service of the new republic. As several Tennessee regiments had been formed from the individual companies which had rendezvoused at Richmond, Va, and entered the Confederate service direct before the secession of Tennessee, and one of these had been numbered the First, it became neces sary, to prevent confusion, to renumber Preston Smith's First, and, at the request of the field officers, they were allowed to select the number of the old Memphis militia regiment (one Hundred and Fifty Fourth) and to add the word Senior in order to show that they were enlisted early in the war. The One Hundred and fifty-fourth was composed of some of the finest fighting material in the State, was thoroughly perfected in drill, and made its mark wherever it served.
