Wounded at Cum- berland Gap, Tenn. August 8, 1862. Killed at Lookout Moun tain, Tenn. November 24,1863. Here is more: The 52nd Infantry Regiment served entirely in the west. They would be an interesting regiment to research since they followed an unusual path through the war. My book on "The Boys of the Fifth" shows some of the same battles at Vicksburg, Tennessee, etc., but like most regiments, the "Fifth" participated in Chickamauga, and the Atlanta campaign. The 52nd was organized on 16 MAY 1862. It surrendered at Vicksburg, Warren County, Mississippi on 4 JUL 1863 and was paroled at Vicksburg later that same month. Declared exchanged on 12 SEP 1863. According to Sifakis, they were surrendered by General Joseph E. Johnston at Durham Station, Orange county, North Carolina on 26 APR 1865, but Crute states that they were detailed to protect a wagon train at Columbus, Mississippi on 23 FEB 1865 and were surrendered on 4 MAY 1865. Actually, both sources are correct. The majority of the 52nd was with Johnston in the Carolinas, and they were surrendered by him on April 26th. However, a significant number were detached to guard the wagon train in Columbus, Mississippi after the battle of Nashville. They remained separated from the rest of the regiment for the duration of the war. Apparently these were volunteers for this duty, because nearly every company was represented in this detachment. Or maybe the company commanders would have selected the men to serve in this detachment. FIELD OFFICERS: First Commander: Wier Boyd, Colonel Rufus R. Asbury, Lt. Col. James J. Findley, Maj. John J.

The 52nd was, however, on the West bank of the river covering the retreat of the forces who had been fighting in the entrenchments on the eastern side.
