Florida Brigade of the Army of Tennessee

The Florida Brigade was a Confederate States Army unit during the American Civil War.

[a] The Brigade was not officially organized until November 1863, but was made up of units that were veterans of previous campaigns, including the 1st and 3rd, who had fought together since December 1862.

[6] Following Missionary Ridge, the brigade rested, refitted, and built cabins to endure the winter of 1863 in Dalton, Georgia.

It was during the battle at Resaca in May 1864 that General Finley was struck twice by artillery fire and ordered to the rear to convalesce, despite being "extremely loath to leave his gallant brigade in such a crisis."

[7] The Brigade's otherwise positive reputation was marred by two defeats in December 1864, first at Murfreesboro when they were routed and then again they "all but fell apart" after the Union assault on Shy's Hill during the Battle of Nashville.
