A little background history
The history of the 21st Mississippi Infantry in Barksdale's Brigade is a very interesting and very bloody one they fought in many battles. (battles listed below)
Seven Days Battles
The regiment lost 32 men killed and 119 wounded
Battle of Sharpsburg (Antietam)
Marched from Brownsville, reaching the field after the batle had begun.
Out of 200 men engaged, the regiment lost 3 killed and 56 wounded. Captain John Simms commanded the regiment during most of the battle, but Colonel Humphreys arrived near the end of the fight, "cheering and animating the whole brigade."
From the brigade marker on the Antietam battlefield:
"September 17, 1862.
Barksdale's Brigade crossed the Potomac at Blackford's Ford about daybreak of the 17th and halted in the western suburbs of Sharpsburg until nearly 9 A.M. It then advanced to the rising ground southwest of this point and formed line in the left center of McLaws' Division, Kershaw on the right and Semmes on the left.
In the general advance of the Division it encountered the enemy's line at the edge of the West Woods at this point and, supported by Ransom's Brigade of Walker's Division, forced it back through the woods to the fields beyond, where it was checked by the destructive fire of the Federal Artillery and compelled to retire to the protection of the hill and ledges of rock in this vicinity.
Later in the day the Brigade reoccupied a portion of the ground from which it had been driven and, with Ransom on the right and Early on the left, held the position until the night of the 18th when it recrossed the Potomac."
Battle of Fredericksburg
The regiment lost 11 men wounded
Second Battle of Fredericksburg (Chancellorsville campaign)
Commanded by Colonel Humphreys, the regiment lost 3 men killed and 25 wounded

The regiment was commanded by Colonel Humphreys and brought 424 men to the field. It took part in the evening asault through the Peach Orchard, breaking the Union line and driving them back to the the foot of Cemetery Ridge before being pushed back. The regiment lost 18 men killed and 85 wounded including Captain Isaac Davis Stamps, who was killed.
