52d Tennessee Infantry C.S.A.

The 52d Tennessee Infantry CSA is an authentic Civil War re-enacting organisation that actively participates in Civil War living history displays, parades, camps of instruction, school programmes, community events, and of course, battle re-enactments throughout the Mid-South region. The drill, tactics, and camp life, are close to that experienced by soldiers of the period. Based in the Memphis, Tennessee area, the 52d portrays uniforms, weaponry, accoutrements, and equipage used by the Confederate States of America in its efforts to seek independence from a domineering North.

The 52d Tennessee was a Confederate infantry unit recruited at the town of Henderson located in west Tennessee, and comprised largely of men from Shelby County and others throughout western Tennessee. These men first participated in combat at Shiloh and distinguished themselves throughout the war in numerous pitched battles.

As circumstances dictate, we must portray the 52d Illinois Infantry U.S.A. Doing so, we are hardly the ugliest contingent of Yankee soldiers ever in existence, but we provide Greybacks an opponent worthy of Southern mettle.
