| The 36th Virginia Infantry’s first assignment was with the
Army of the North West, later they served with the Army of the Kanawha. In
early January 1862, the regiment was moved to Bowling Green, Ky. There they
were placed in the Central Army of Kentucky. The regiment was one of the few
regiments which managed to escape capture at Fort Donelson, Tn. in February
1862. They returned to Virginia, and soon served in the Valley District of
the Department of Northern Virginia. In the spring of 1863, the regiment
joined the Army of Western Virginia. They served until they merged with the
Army of Western Virginia and Eastern Tennessee, until the beginning of 1864.
In May 1864, they were attached to the Army of the Valley District
(Stonewall Jackson’s old 2nd Corp.). The 36th Virginia served in this Army
for the remainder of the war. The list to the right shows the specific
