Historical Notes:
After Vicksburg, the 49th and 55th Regiments Tennessee Infantry (Brown's) and the 7th Regiment Texas Infantry were temporarily consolidated and formed Bailey's Consolidated Regiemnt Confederate Infantry. It was ordered to report for duty at Meridian, Mississippi, then sent to Port Hudson, Louisiana, where it was placed in Brigadier General Smauel Maxey's Brigade, with Colonel James Bailey, of the 49th, in command of Bailey's Consolidated Regiment. The consolidation only continued evidently until January of 1864, but the unit remained in this brigade, first under General Maxey, later under Brigadier General W.A. Quarles, until the end of the war.
