The 47th Alabama Infantry Regiment was organized at Loachapoka, May 22, 1862, and reached Virginia late in June. Assigned to General “Stonewall” Jackson's corps, the regiment was brigaded under General Taliaferro, with three Virginia regiments and the Forty-Eighth Alabama. A few weeks later the regiment passed through the ordeal of the Battle at Cedar Mountain, where it lost 12 killed and 76 wounded, or nearly a third of its force present. At Second Manassas the 47th was again engaged loosing 7 killed and 25 wounded. It was present at Chantilly and the capture of Harper's Ferry; entered the battle of Sharpsburg with 115 men, and lost every commissioned officer present on the field, mustering 17 men the next morning under a sergeant. The regiment wintered on the Rappahannock and witnessed the repulse of Burnside at Fredericksburg. Transferred to the brigade of General Law – 4th 5th, 44th 57th, and 48th Alabama – General Hood’s division, Longstreet's corps, the 47th lost several men in the fight at Suffolk. Rejoining the main army, the regiment marched into Pennsylvania, and poured out the blood of its bravest men at Gettysburg. Two months later the corps was transferred to north Georgia, and the 47th lost very severely at Chickamauga. It took part in the investment of Knoxville with light loss, and in the privations of the winter campaign in east Tennessee. Rejoining the Virginia army the regiment fought with severe loss at the Wilderness, and was in the brilliant charge on Warren's corps at Spotsylvania, where the brigade opened the battle. In all the subsequent operations around Richmond the regiment took part, and in the grim defenses that begirt Petersburg it endured the perils and privations of the last sullen and persistent struggle. As part of Perry's brigade, the 47th laid down its arms at Appomattox, about 90 strong. Captain Burton, Alabama, enlisted in Company I of the 47th Alabama Infantry Regiment when it was formed in May 1862. He was elected Captain of Company H, 47th Alabama Infantry Regiment, in November 1862, and served until its surrender at Appomattox in April 1865.
