Researchers:
The following email which I share with you gives me new faith in the Internet & I am eagerly anticipating transcriptions of this diary to share with you. These will be forthcoming as I receive them from my new research partner in Texas. This website is a tool for me to share the history of this unit with the world & cement their reputation as one of the most brave & battle-scarred but decimated units from Tennessee if not the Confederacy. Their story is of great interest to me because of quite a few ancestors in this unit of Co. G. I welcome others to share their info with me to help piece together their story for others & will give full credit for any info supplied.
Thanks,

Sir:
My great-great grandfather, W.M. Bennet was a Captain in the 24th Tennessee Infantry. This evening I found a diary that he had acquired from the war. It appears the diary was actually that of Chaplain J. W. Cullom. This diary has
a list of the original officers and men who formed at Camp Anderson in the summer of 1861. The diary contains approximately one thousand names as well as an accounting of those who were killed or wounded.
Some have some very detailed information about how they died.
Sincerely,
J.D.
