The War for Southern Independence:
15th Mississippi Company B- Winona Stars
Compiled by: Paul
Hightower and contributed with permission by: John
Hansen
Flag captured by the 2nd Minnesota Volunteers at the Battle of Logan’s Cross Roads, Kentucky,
January 19, 1862
This list is not necessarily comprehensive but should be close to complete.
The names list everyone who once served in this company so there may be some
overlap as men transferred to other companies or regiments.
This list is also cumulative, that is to say that Co B did not start out with
207 men but eventually that number were enlisted at one time or another.
If you discover any gaps or huge discrepancies, I'd appreciate a note.

15th Infantry Regiment, organized at Choctaw, Mississippi, in May, 1861, contained men from Holmes, Choctaw, Quitman, Montgomery, Yalobusha, and Grenada counties. The regiment was active at Fishing Creek, Shiloh, Baton Rouge, and Corinth, then was placed in Rust's, Tilghman's, and J.Adams' Brigade. After serving in the Vicksburg area, it joined the Army of Tennessee and participated in the Atlanta Campaign, Hood's winter operations, and the Battle of Bentonville. This unit had 34 officers and 820 men on January 7, 1862, and lost 44 killed, 153 wounded, and 29 missing at Fishing Creek. Many were disabled at Peach Tree Creek and Franklin, and only a remnant surrendered in April 1865. The field officers were Colonels Michael Farrell and Winfield S. Statham; Lieutenant Colonels James R. Binford, J.W. Hemphill, and Edward C. Walthall; and Majors William F. Brantly, James B. Dennis, Russell G. Prewitt, and Lamkin S. Terry.
