Mississippi 49th Infantry Regiment

Historical Notes:
This regiment was never fielded. It is listed in the "Official Records," but no other information is available. It seems to have been authorized, but never actually organized. Col. John W. Balfour was assigned to either raise, command, or raise and command the regiment. No companies actually raised for this regiment have been identified. Bibliography for Research:
