"That he which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart ... We would not die in that man's company that fears his fellowship to die with us."
The 7th Tennessee Infantry Regiment was mustered on June 22nd, 1861. On July 13th of the same year the 7th received orders to march to Nashville, Tennessee. From Nashville the 7th was shipped by rail to Virginia where it was made part of the Army of Northern Virginia and put under the command of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. Commanded by Col. John Fite, the 7th Tennessee Infantry was assigned to General A.P. Hill's division, and became part of General Archer's Brigade. In addition to the 7th Tennessee, this brigade was comprised of the 1st Tennessee Infantry, the 14th Tennessee Infantry, 8th Alabama, and 19th Georgia.

Their battle record is a long and impressive story of how a group of men can endure four years of horrible war. Perhaps one of the most extraordinary points in this storied history was July 1st, 1863 when Archer's Brigade, including the 7th Tennessee, was among the early regiments engaged in the epic battle of Gettysburg. In this particular fight, the 7th Tennessee and the rest of Archer's men were engaged with the famed Iron Brigade of the Union Army. The Iron Brigade, comprised of the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, 7th Wisconsin, 19th Indiana, and 24th Michigan, was one of the most famous Union brigades with a hard-earned reputation for hard fighting and determination in battle. The fight between Archer's Brigade and the Iron Brigade was nothing less than monumental, resulting in the near destruction of both brigades. Eventually the Army of Northern Virginia reinforced Archer's men with other elements, and drove the battle torn Iron Brigade, and the rest of the Union 1st Corps back into Gettysburg. This fight was one of the most significant points on the first day at Gettysburg.

The 7th fought through many a fight in the same fashion as it had in July 1, 1863. It served in nearly every engagement the Army of Northern Virginia had fielded soldiers. On April 9th 1865 the 7th Tennessee, along with the remainder of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Union forces under U.S. Grant at Appomattox Court House Virginia.
