The Fourth Texas Infantry a.k.a. "Hell Roaring Fourth"was organized September 30, 1861 in Richmond, Virginia and surrendered at Appomattox Court House, Virginia on April 9, 1865. The regiment was structured in ten companies and fought through such battles as Seven Days, Gaine's Mill, Antietam, Gettysburg, all the way up to Appomattox Court House in April 1865. At Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, the Fourth Texas participated in the attack against the Union left flank and in the fighting for Little Round Top, losing 140 men (twenty-five killed, fifty-seven wounded, and fifty-eight captured), including Lieutenant Colonel Carter, who was mortally wounded. At the time of its surrender the Fourth Texas mustered only fifteen officers and 143 men. Despite such heavy losses, or perhaps because of them, the Fourth Texas Infantry and its parent Texas Brigade won a reputation as one of the hardest fighting and most reliable units in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.
