11th Mississippi Infantry Regiment

On July 3, 1863, the 11th Mississippi Infantry Regiment advanced with the colors to the stone wall near the Brian Barn as its ranks grew thinner at every step. There it came under a most galling fire of musketry and artillery that reduced its already thinned ranks so severely that any further effort to carry the position was hopeless, leaving no choice but to retire. The regiment had 393 combatants; 110 were killed in action or died of wounds, 193 were wounded or wounded and captured, 37 were captured unwounded, and 53 were non-casualties.
