Battalion. The First Battalion, seven companies, went out with Jack
Thorington of Montgomery as lieutenant colonel, and John H. Holt of

Legion, and Holt was thereupon promoted, but he was killed at
Chickamauga]; and the Third Battalion, six companies, went out with John
W. A. Sanford of Montgomery as lieutenant colonel, and Hatch Cook of
Georgia as major. The operations of the Hilliard Legion are given in the
memoranda of the 59th Alabama. At Chickamauga, the First Battalion lost
168 killed and wounded of 230 engaged, and the Third Battalion lost 50
killed and wounded of 219 engaged. Organized at Charleston, Tennessee,
25 November 1863, the 60th passed through the winter campaign in East
Tennessee. In the spring, it reached Richmond and lost heavily at
Drewry's Bluff, where the regiment was complimented on the field by
Gen'l Archibald Gracie, as the Third Battalion had been at Chickamauga
by Gen'l William Preston of Kentucky. The regiment was in the trenches
at Petersburg for eight months, and lost continually by the almost
incessant shelling. At White Oak Road and Hatcher's Run, the 60th was
fully engaged with many casualties. At Appomattox, the regiment had
capturted a Union battery when word of the surrender came to them. Their
number at that time was 14 officers and 170 men.
