Tenth Infantry. -- Cal., Alvan C. Gillem; Lieut.-Cols., Frank T. Foster, John Feudge, Majs., Alexander Thurneck, Louis Mandazy, Middleton L. Moore.
This regiment was organized at Nashville, about July, 1862, and was at first known as the 1st Tenn. governor's guards. It was recruited partly in Nashville, partly in Rutherford, Wayne, Hardin and Lawrence counties, and was composed of a mixture of Americans, Irish and Germans.
Until the summer of 1863 the regiment did provost guard duty at Nashville, being encamped first at Fort Gillem and afterward upon the capitol grounds. It was then ordered out to guard the Nashville & Northwestern railroad, where it remained until the spring of 1864.
During the following year the regiment was divided considerably, detachments being detailed for various purposes.
In the spring of 1865 it was ordered to Knoxville, at which place and at Greeneville, it remained until about July when it was returned to Nashville and mustered out.
