Civil War
EIGHTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The regiment remained at Athens until the 8th, when it joined Colonel Streight's brigade, of General Steedman's command, then in pursuit of Wheeler, and marched to Shoal Creek, within seven miles of Florence, Ala. Being in the advance, it here overtook and skirmished with Wheeler's rear guard. The pursuit being abandoned, the regiment returned to camp at Decatur, September 11th. A detachment of the regiment, numbering 231 officers and men, left Decatur on the 24th of September, with other troops, to reinforce the garrison at Athens.
