Hello all,
I'm back with some more records of one of my pet regiments. The 45th was first called the 3rd Mississippi Battalion and fought at Shiloh as such, later it was increased to a regiment by the addition of 3 companies, 2 of which were made of up men of the 27th Alabama not captured at Ft. Donelson. The Regiment was known as the 33rd Mississippi until Nov. 1862, when it was renumbered 45. In July 1864 it became the 3rd MS Batt. again. The Regiment served with Wood's/Lowrey's Brigade in Cleburnes Division throughout the war.
