Responding to the request for troops made by the Confederate Congress, the twelve volunteer companies that comprised the First Texas Regiment had all assembled in Richmond, Virginia by June 1861. These troops, largely all from the Marshall Texas area, were later joined by the Fourth and Fifith Texas Regiments, the only other Lone Star volunteers in the Army of Northern Virginia. Brigaded at first with the Eighteenth Georgia and Hampton's Legion of Sourth Carolinians, and, after a post - Antietam transfer of command, with the Third Arkansas, they adopted the now familiar title of Hood's Texas Brigade. The 1st took part in many battles such as - Eltham Landing, Seven Pines, Gaines Mill, Malvern Hill, Freeman's Ford, 2nd Manassas, South Mountain, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, the Suffolk Campaign, Gettysburg, Chickamaugua, Chattanooga, Wauchatchie, the Knoxville Siege, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, New Market Heights, and Chaffin's Farm. The remnants of the ever-proud, "wild and wooly" First Texas Regiment were present at the surrender in Appomattox Virginia.
