They fought at Fort Donelson, where they were surrendered along with the rest of the garrison in February 1862. They were exchanged in November 1862 and saw action at Chicksaw Bayou in December. In May 1863 they fought at Jackson and Raymond, MS. The 10th was sent to Bragg’s Army of the Tennessee in September and fought at Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and the Atlanta campaign. In Hood’s disastrous campaign in back in Tennessee in 1864 the 10th fought at Franklin and Nashville.
