"The Orphan Brigade was a Kentucky unit of the Confederacy that was forced to go to Tennessee to volunteer because of the states neutrality. Later in the war, the unit would partake in bloody battles at Shiloh, Tenn., Baton Rouge, La., Vicksburg, Miss., and Atlanta. They would not return to their native soil until the wars end."
