#OTD in 1861 – The 10th Tennessee Infantry Regiment enters Confederate service in the American Civil War.

June 19, 1864 Battle of Cherbourg France. The CSS Alabama was sunk by the USS Kearsarge. But not without a fight. This shot is still embedded in the side of the Kearsarge today at the Navy Yard. Both the quality of the powder and the coal were thought to have played a part in the Alabama’s loss. The British yacht the Deerhound rescued many in the crew including Captain Semmes. Unfortunately David White a slave from Delaware, who had been freed by Captain Semmes, from a Yankee ship, drowned that day. He is forever immortalized in the sea.

“On Friday, June 5th, and later on June 8th, Stuart conducted massive cavalry reviews near Culpeper. Hood's Division attended both events; General Lee attended the latter.
A Southern soldier-reporter in Hood's Division said of the June 5th equestrian spectacle, "It was an imposing sight. One hundred and forty-four companies passed in review in the most splendid order. I counted twenty-six stands of colors, exclusive of those belonging to Stuart's horse-artillery. After the review there was a sham fight, in which the artillery fired over one hundred and sixty rounds, and the cavalry made several brilliant charges. The horses were generally good, and everything indicated a good degree of discipline. Many ladies, blooming in health and beauty, were present. Gen. Hood marched his whole division out to witness the review." Robert Lee Hodge
