863; men from Cocke, Greene, Hawkins, Washington, Anderson, Carter and Sullivan Counties."
"The regiment was first reported December, 1862 in the Department of the Ohio, District of Central Kentucky, with Colonel Reeve in command. On January 10, 1863, at Nicholasville, the regiment was repo rted with 21 officers, 324 men present for duty, aggregate present 381, aggregate present and absent 652. However, it was not until the middle of May, 1863 that the first four companies were actually mustered into service. At that time the regiment reported 357 effectives. Other companies were mustered in during June, July and August. On June 30, 1863, the regiment was reported in the Department of the Ohio, XXIII Corps, 4th Division, 2nd Brigade; and on July 28 was reported at Lexington, Kentucky. Since the beginning of organization the regiment had been employed on fatigue duty, building fortifications, etc. at various points in Kentucky."
"On August 6, the XXIII Corps was reorganized, and the regiment placed in Colonel Daniel Cameron's 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division. The brigade moved into East Tennessee with Major General A. E. Burnside, a nd on August 31 the regiment was at Wartburg; on September 24, at Greeneville; on September 30, at Lick Creek Bridge; on October 15, at Jonesboro, on the Blountsville Road.

- 8th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Regiment, noted 28 May 2004, "On April 10, 1864, the XXIII Corps was again reorganized, and the regi
ment placed in Colonel James W. Reilly's 1st Brigade, Brigadier General Jacob D. Cox's 3rd Division. Under various commanders, it served in this brigade until the end of the war. On April 20, at Bull's Gap, Tennessee, the regiment reported 27 officers, 369 men present for duty. It was sent to Knoxville by train on April 26, from where it moved down to Red Gap, Georgia, for the beginning of the Atlanta Campaign. It crossed the Georgia line on May 7, and after some preliminary skirmishing, was heavily engaged at Resaca on May 14. During the campaign which followed it was first commanded by Colonel Reeve, then by Captain Robert A. Ragan, and finally by Captain James W. Berry. Colonel Reeve was discharged July 14 on surgeon's certificate of disability."
"Although almost constantly engaged for the next three months, the heaviest fighting in which the regiment took part was an attempt to cross Utoy Creek on August 6. Of this engagement, Brigadier Gener al Reilly wrote: "Where all behaved so gallantly, it is very difficult to give special mention to any, but I cannot, in justice, neglect to bear official testimony to the gallant and heroic conduct of the Eighth Tennessee Infantry officers and men, without any distinction. The list of casualties, however, is their best eulogy, when it is known that the regiment went into the charge with but about 160 muskets." Berry, who commanded the regiment at that time, reported: "The regiment entered this charge with 223 men, and lost 26 killed, five mortally wounded, 36 wounded, and 16 missing, making a total of 83 casualties. In this serious charge the officers and men of the regiment exhibited in the highest degree the bravery, discipline, presence of mind which characterizes veteran troops."."
