Regimental History
The Texas Brigade or Hood's Texas Brigade was to Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia as what the Old Guard was to Napoleon Bonaparte and the French Imperial Army. First in the advance. Shock troops in battle. The rear guard in retreat. The Texas Infantry Regiments were formed into the 1st, 4th, and 5th. These were the only Texas troops to fight in the Army of Northern Virginia. Hood's Texas Brigades were also the only troops to fight in both the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tenessee in the Eastern and Western Theaters of War.
The 5th Texas had the distinction of serving under some of the Confederate Army's most popular and successful Generals. Like Robert E. Lee, head of the Army of Northern Virginia. General Braxton Bragg, head of the Army of Tennessee. Corps Commander Major General Thomas J. (Stone Wall) Jackson, Major General James Longstreet, and Division Commanders, Brig. Generals, Evander McIver Law and last but not least, Major General JOHN BELL HOOD, who was the Division Commander and then Corps Commander of the Texas Brigades. In Hood, the 5th Texas would form a bond and would follow him anywhere to the better end. The sacrificial devotion to duty of the Texas Brigade is Borne witness to the fact that only 473 men remained to lay down their arms at Appomattox Court House. Even then some, defiant to the last, broke their rifle muskets rather than surrender a usuable arm to the Federals.

How the 5th Texas earned the name "The Bloody 5th"
During the winter of 1861 - 1862 The 5th Texas had been camped across the Potomac River from the 5th New York Infantry, "Duryee's Zouaves" and had traded insults and threats across the ice, offering to take the measure of the other when they met in battle. At Second Manassas (Second Bull Run) the Texans were able to settle accounts. After the Brigade drove off the 10th New York, deployed as skirmishers, driving them through the 5th New York, The 5th Texas emerged from the woods and found themselves facing the 5th New York, which was across a creek and on higher ground. The 5th New York's first volley was high, and The 5th Texas' was not. The Texans went sent into the New Yorkers and destroyed it as a unit, as one report put it. There were not 50 unwounded men in the (New York) Regiment. Flushed with success, The 5th Texas continued to advance, tearing through the disintegrating Federal flank, out distantcing not only the rest of the Brigade, but the rest of the main army. In his official report Hood said that the 5th Texas had "slipped the bridle" and earned themselves the name "The Bloody Fifth"
