To the valiant sons of the south, composing the Army of northern virginia at Gettysburg, who strove against heavy odds in the cause of southern independence and who suffered, bled and died in defense of their Confederacy, families and ideals in which they fervently believed, and to the soldiers of the Army of the Potomac who opposed them and likewise endured the horrors of battle, fought and bled in defense of the union they held dear, and to our family and friends who supported us in honoring the memory of all these fallen heroes

Acknowledgments All historians are plagiarists. They heavily and universally benefit from the work of numerous individuals who investigated and documented the subject of their interest long before them. This project is no different and could not have been completed without the assistance of numerous individuals, long deceased, who provided us with the source materials used to compile the information provided in this publication. our greatest debt is owed the Confederate record keepers of the Gettysburg period who, while performing their assigned duties, inadvertently left us with the means to, 152 years later, identify and honor many of the southern soldiers who were victims of the great battle at Gettysburg. Without their conscientious work this project could not have been initiated let alone completed. Thanks are also due the compilers of the Confederate individual service records now on file in the national Archives in Washington, D.C. This huge compilation of information prepared at the turn of the century from company muster and pay rolls, hospital records, inspection reports, pay records, casualty reports and a number of other sources allowed us to compile the information presented in this work. Without them no such project would have been possible. We also would like to express our appreciation to Dr. John William Crapster o’neal, formerly of Fairfax County, virginia, where the authors reside, for collecting the names of Confederate battlefield burials between 1863 and 1866; to Dr. rufus B. Weaver who spent the period 1871 through 1873 identifying, boxing and returning the remains of 2,935 southerners to their native soil; and to Kathleen Georg Harrison of the Gettysburg national Military Park for many years ago providing John with copies of her compilation of the Confederate dead obtained from these records. Additionally, thanks are due superintendent Beverly M. Donald of Magnolia Ceme-

tery in Charleston, south Carolina, who kindly assisted our efforts in obtaining a listing of Confederate dead reinterred from Gettysburg to that cemetery. Also, we are forever indebted to those individuals who constructed and maintain the web sites www.fold3.com and www.civilwardata.com without which we would not have been able to access the Confederate service records and rosters vital to the completion of our project. Finally, much appreciation and love is due our family which tolerated our long preoccupation with the project as it unfolded over four years and the seemingly endless hours spent at the computer researching, compiling and preparing the material for publication. Although they did not often share our passion concerning the details of our project, they contributed the understanding, patience, affection and support without which we could not have completed our work. special thanks are due John’s lovely wife and Travis’ loving mother sandra, for her patience through the numerous hours they spent working on and discussing this project, often into the wee hours of the morning. John’s daughters and Travis’ supportive twin sisters, Amy and Jill, and John’s oldest daughter and Travis’ sister Lorraine, were all very supportive of our efforts. Much gratitude also goes to John’s daughter and Travis’ California sister sharon for her kindness and support during the project. Finally, affectionate acknowledgments are once again due all the remaining members of our family: Mackenzie, spencer, Dylan, Courtney and Mallory, sandra’s sisters Debbie and Betsy, her 99-year-old mother Maydell and our beloved dogs Cindy and Mandy who lost their fight with cancer during the final six months of our efforts to finish the project but whose playful personalities, affection and energy helped us through the final stages of the effort. Many thanks for your support and much love to all!

“not for fame or reward, not for place or for rank, not lured by ambition, or goaded by necessity, But in simple obedience to duty as they understood it, These men suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all, and died.” —inscription by Dr. randolph Harrison McKim on the Confederate memorial in Arlington national Cemetery “Then call us rebels, if you will, We glory in the name, For bending under unjust laws, And swearing faith to an unjust cause, We count as greater shame.” —Richmond Daily Dispatch, 12 May 1862 “every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late. We can give but a faint idea when we say it means the loss of all we now hold most sacred … personal property, lands, homesteads, liberty, justice, safety, pride, manhood. it means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by northern school teachers; will learn from northern school books their version of the War, will be impressed by all influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, our maimed veterans as fit objects for their derision….” —Major General Patrick ronayne Cleburne January 2, 1864

Preface and Introduction the examination of 100,000 what he termed Compiled service records on file in the national Archives (according to his estimate representing less than half of the southern units at the battle). However, there were only about 80,000 southern soldiers at Gettysburg, each with a service record currently on file in the Archives, so he was apparently referring to the carded records contained in each soldier’s service record file not to the files themselves. He also consulted other original source material in the Archives which he used to compile information concerning the Confederate dead at the battle. To our knowledge, however, he apparently never published names of southern Gettysburg wounded, captured or missing he came upon as he searched the records for fatalities. in 2003 historian Gregory A. Coco compiled and published a listing of some 1,400 Confederate battle dead, whose graves had been marked or identified by their comrades but, again, did not address the other southern casualties there. We believe our current work is a significant improvement over previous efforts concerning this subject as it almost certainly involved a more extensive review of service records than did Mr. Krick’s exemplary effort and included official casualty reports on file in the national Archives and printed in local newspapers relating to all Confederate battle losses not just the dead. our listing provides the names and circumstances of death of 5,441 southerners who were killed or mortally wounded at the battle as well as 1,161 who subsequently died in Federal captivity and in our opinion represents a long overdue and more complete and detailed view of Confederate combat losses than has previously been available to the public. We humbly believe that with this new information battle historians will, at the very least, have a more detailed starting point to render a final determi-

This is the concluding work in the authors’ efforts to document and memorialize 47,690 casualties suffered by the union and Confederate armies at the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, fought 1 through 3 July 1863. our previous work on this subject, Union Casualties at Gettysburg: A Comprehensive Record, was published in 2011 and contains the names and other information concerning 23,594 Federal soldiers who were casualties of the fighting there. our research concerning southern losses at this battle was conducted through the use of surviving service records, casualty lists and unit rosters, among other sources, over a period of four years and documented the names of 24,096 southerners who were victims of the carnage near this small Pennsylvania town 153 years ago. The listing by state, with information concerning each casualty, serves to identify and honor each individual Confederate who fell at the battle by providing as many details as possible regarding each of them as we could garner from the sources at our disposal. To our knowledge, while other studies have attempted to document the Confederate dead at the battle, such a southern Gettysburg casualty list has never been compiled, a fact which significantly influenced our desire to be the first to undertake such an effort. There has been much speculation over the years since the engagement regarding this subject. in 1900 Thomas L. Livermore estimated 28,063 southern casualties at the battle which many modern historians accept to this day although this author’s reasoning appears to be flawed in at least one respect. in 1968 edwin B. Coddington estimated 20,451 “and very likely more” southern casualties; in 1981 robert K. Krick 22,198; in 2002 noah Andre Trudeau 22,874 and in 2003 stephen W. sears 22,625. robert K. Krick’s extensive 1981 effort involved

Preface and Introduction

nation concerning the issue of Confederate casualties at Gettysburg as well as a source which can be used to more precisely interpret the fighting there. The idea for this work originated in 2011 immediately following publication of the authors’ Union Casualties at Gettysburg effort. it was conceived as a companion piece to our Federal publication to honor the courage and sacrifices of the often forgotten southern victims of the engagement. The work, itself, began shortly thereafter and consisted of more than two thousand man hours spent meticulously reviewing soldier service records, official and newspaper casualty lists, unit rosters and other information on a near daily basis over a period of four years. it is hoped that the information presented here will in some small way benefit and assist Gettysburg historians, aficionados, genealogists and casual readers as well and provide an enduring tribute to the southerners who struggled for their independence in what many of them termed the “second American revolution.” scanning the individual soldier entries should provide the reader with a deep and abiding appreciation of what young, idealistic men endured to obtain the independence of the states which had peacefully chosen to withdraw from a union they felt was no longer conducive to their well-being, welfare and way of life. Description of wounds will often shock modern sensibilities and serve to emphasize the unimaginable agony many of these men and boys endured on the battlefield, and in hospitals and prison camps for their beliefs. Hopefully, a description of these individual sacrifices will accentuate the horrendous cost of our nation’s most deadly war and remind us again that conflict resolution through negotiation and compromise is far preferable to the bloody horrors and wastage of combat. other works concerning the engagement at Gettysburg describe the movements of individual units on the battlefield, why they were made and their effects on the engagement being considered. This study documents those southerners who dutifully undertook such movements and the price they paid in blood and lives as a result. Following this endeavor, the authors look forward to continuing their efforts to document the identity and any additional available information concerning the individual soldiers of Gettysburg. our projected future projects include a listing of the battle participation of each soldier in Jerome

B. robertson’s Texas/Arkansas and evander Mcivor Law’s Alabama brigades at the battle, each Mississippi soldier at the engagement and that of each soldier of Brigadier General John Gibbon’s Division of the union second Corps at the battle. if time permits, we also hope to compile an updated roster of Major General George e. Pickett’s virginia division at the battle to include Fry’s brigade of Heth’s Division and Lang’s of Anderson’s which advanced in support of Pickett’s men on 3 July. We sincerely hope our efforts will prove beneficial to all battle students and that the soldiers contained in this listing will no longer remain forgotten for as long as the publication remains in print. Thanks to all for your interest in our work. E    E    E Following three days of brutal combat at Gettysburg, thousands of men in bloody gray and butternut uniforms dotted the landscape in the Wheatfield, the Peach orchard and the railroad Cut and on Culp’s Hill, Little round Top, east Cemetery Hill, the Codori farm and a host of other localities on the gory battlefield. While 3,445 lay stiff in death beneath the hot July sun, many others languished in agony in southern and Federal field hospitals awaiting treatment of bloody, festering wounds. Many among these faced the unspeakable horrors of having limbs, shattered by enemy fire, amputated. others sullenly made their way to inhospitable union prison camps where many would suffer and die of disease or starvation weeks or months later. Who were these men and boys? Where did they come from? What, if anything, do we know about them? This work attempts to answer at least some of these questions. it is the end result of four years of concerted effort to identify and provide personal information concerning the more than 24,000 Confederate casualties incurred at the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. it is intended to serve as a memorial to the sacrifice of these individuals in support of the ideal of southern independence for which the overwhelming majority fought and died. it is also a learning tool to emphasize the true, horrendous and bloody cost of the reliance on force rather than negotiation and compromise in resolving momentous issues. names, supplemented with information regarding home and family, can often personalize those

Preface and Introduction individuals who have long been lost to history. Hopefully, this work will accomplish that objective for many of the southern victims of this monumental engagement and personalize the bloodshed so many in this country have long forgotten. Perhaps the names of a soldier’s parents, siblings, spouse and children may evoke sympathy for the sorrow and anguish these individuals endured upon learning of their soldier’s death or maiming in battle. The majority of information presented in the casualty listing which follows was taken directly from individual service records on file in the national Archives in Washington, D.C., specifically: record Group 109, entry 193, Compiled service records of Confederate soldiers, as made available through the website www.fold3.com. The authors transcribed names and information primarily from these documents supplemented by secondary sources itemized in the bibliography which consisted primarily of unit casualty lists on file in the national Archives and printed in local newspapers throughout the south in the months following the battle. Whereas Federal Gettysburg casualty reports are available in the national Archives for all but a few small Federal units at the battle, Confederate reports can be found there for only two batteries, six regiments, ten brigades, early’s Division, and Longstreet’s First Corps. The last two reports unfortunately do not provide a nominal list of casualties while the handwritten reports of many of the other units are very difficult to read and interpret to the point that a number are, for all intents and purposes, undecipherable and useless. reports printed in local newspapers were usually provided by unit adjutants who sent them home to advise friends and loved ones of the fates of area soldiers serving at Gettysburg. They are much easier to read than the handwritten reports in the Archives and more numerous. using the resources available to us, we located 121 issues of thirty-seven local newspapers throughout the south (all are listed in our bibliography) which provided Gettysburg casualty reports listing 13,295 casualties which occurred in 118 regiments, eleven battalions and thirty-nine companies. We are convinced, however, that others exist and we remain anxious to locate them. Many of these reports, through omission or error, often do not list all of a unit’s casualties as we were able to supplement the information in some listings using other sources. The reports also often contain typographical errors and other mis-

3

takes, generally originating from the ornate handwriting of the period or outright error by the composer. While they are subject to error, they are probably the best sources currently available concerning the subject of southern casualties at Gettysburg barring discovery of all official Confederate casualty reports sometime in the future. in the end, locating all of these official reports is the only sure way to ensure the accurate determination of southern casualties at the battle and even these would be subject to question as there are undoubtedly errors in the reports as well. We would be very appreciative if anyone with information concerning such reports, we have not already consulted, would report this information to our publisher. information from the above and other sources often did not correlate concerning certain individuals. For example, ages and battle fates were not always consistent, transfer dates between various prisons and hospitals often conflicted, name spellings differed, exact casualty dates were sometimes lacking completely or ambiguous and so forth. in such instances the authors made their best guess, based on evidence provided in the records, and used these determinations in this work. in most instances inconsistent information is provided for the reader’s consideration to allow an independent assessment on his/her part. We fondly wish study results could in all instances be precise in every respect but, unfortunately, such is not the case for many records of this period. While we exerted every effort to minimize errors and inconsistencies, the sheer size of the project, together with the many mistakes and inconsistencies in the records themselves, heavily contributed to these imperfections. While the end result of our labors is undoubtedly not perfect in every respect, the authors hope our efforts will contribute to the investigation and understanding of the battle and assist historians in their studies of the engagement. We trust that future historians will supplement and refine our work to more perfectly establish southern casualties at the battle and we welcome any additional information and documented corrections and/or clarifications the public may be willing to provide concerning this subject. Again, any such information should be provided through our publisher. The 24,096 soldiers listed as casualties in this compilation were recorded for the period 1 through 4 July at Gettysburg and are intended to reflect only the losses at the battle in the vicinity of the town during this period. Hunterstown casualties are in-

Preface and Introduction

cluded but not those at Monterey Pass on 4 July. Where identifiable the listing does include losses such as captures of those serving as nurses in the vicinity of Gettysburg up to 4 July but not those or other captures before or after this date. it also does not include captures at localities other than Gettysburg unless these casualties had been previously wounded at the battle. This may account for our lower captured totals compared to Mr. Krick’s compilation which also counted mortally wounded as killed whereas we do not and probably also included those stragglers captured in and around Gettysburg following the battle. We do not do this unless they occurred during the period 1 through 4 July. one hundred nine southern deserters captured by the Federals during this period are included in the casualty listings by name but not counted in the battle casualty tables presented as we do not consider them battle casualties (their loss was not inflicted by the Federals) and a number of regimental casualty lists do not record them either. Additionally, southern casualties listed only in Federal records are not included in our listing unless they are corroborated in Confederate records. A check of a number of these has established uniformly and beyond a doubt that they were not additional soldiers but rather badly misspelled names or those with incorrect unit identifications. Additionally, all name spellings are uniformly derived from those accepted by the original compilers of the service records at the turn of the century which are now on file in the national Archives in Washington, D.C. County citations in the text reflect those in existence at the time the record in which they were mentioned was created and not modern designations unless they are the same. All ages given represent those at the time of enlistment or of the record in which they were located and are not battle ages unless otherwise noted. The color “gray” or “grey” (the latter commonly in use at the time of the battle) are used interchangeably in the text. Finally, it should be noted that, owing to the poor quality of casualty records pertaining to the 5th, 6th, 12th and 48th Alabama infantry regi-

ments and the consequent discrepancies between our findings and those listed in the official records War of the rebellion, our tabular data for these units has been mathematically inflated to meet official records totals. This resulted in 83 casualties being added to the casualty tables for these and their superior units but obviously not to the nominal listing. some of the missing reported in the official records were converted to killed as a result of our research. The information provided in this work is organized by state then numerically by regiment with infantry presented first followed by cavalry then artillery units. Generals and staff are contained in a separate section. superior unit assignments are provided for all units and the overwhelming majority contain a brief organizational introduction immediately below the unit designation. The local synonyms of many companies are also provided immediately below the company designation. Casualties are categorized as killed, mortally wounded, mortally wounded and captured, wounded, wounded and captured, wounded and missing, captured, missing and deserted although, as previously stated, the last are not counted in the tabular summaries in the appendices of this work. A number of soldiers who suffered slight wounds or contusions are included among the wounded in our listing and are counted in the casualty tables as some spent hospital time recovering. it is not known whether or not they were counted as wounded in the official casualty reports. Listed soldiers without rank designations are in all instances Privates while all others were of the rank specified in the listing. each entry includes name and rank followed by wounds, enlistment data, often brief physical descriptions, brief service history, family information, post war experiences, death and interment data and any other information regarding the soldier we thought might be useful or of interest to the reader. information in individual entries is generally but not always in chronological order. All years mentioned in the listings are 1863 and all locations are within the states being listed unless otherwise noted.

Generals and staff Killed

the Confederacy to defend his home state of Virginia against the incursion of federal armies, much like his commanding General at Gettysburg, robert edward lee had done. Originally appointed a Major of artillery in May 1861 and lieutenant Colonel of Cobb’s Georgia legion, he went on to command the renowned stonewall Brigade in the Valley district, department of northern Virginia, from november 1861 to 1 april 1862 and was promoted Brigadier General 14 november 1861. at the battle of Kernstown, Va, 23 March 1862, he endured the wrath of thomas “stonewall” Jackson when that famous Confederate general sent the stonewall Brigade against a superior Union force under General nathaniel Banks. the brigade was soon surrounded and low on ammunition and General Garnett ordered a retreat without Jackson’s consent. Jackson accused Garnett of disobeying orders and arrested him for “neglect of duty” relieving him of command 1 april 1862. Garnett’s courtmartial began in august of that year, but was suspended because of the 2nd Manassas Campaign and he was soon assigned to command George Pickett’s Brigade whose commander was wounded at Gaines’ Mill 27 June 1862. Garnett commanded Pickett’s brigade from 5 september to late september 1862 and from 25 february through 1 april 1863 after Pickett was promoted to division command. He moved to the department of southern Virginia from 1 april to May 1863 and his old commander t.J. Jackson was mortally wounded at Chancellorsville as longstreet’s I Corps besieged suffolk, Virginia. Garnett was seen in tears over Jackson’s casket as his body lay in state in richmond, Va, and served as a pallbearer at Jackson’s funeral.

GARNETT, richard Brooke (Brigadier General): forty-five years of age at the time of the battle, he was shot in the head and killed twenty yards from the stonewall on Cemetery ridge 3 July. He bought two horses before the Gettysburg campaign; a dark bay mare valued at $550 and a bay gelding valued at $675. He suffered from a fever during the campaign and was also kicked by a horse, which left him injured, but he insisted on advancing with his troops on horseback 3 July making him an easy target for the defending federals on Cemetery ridge. Private James Clay of the 18th Virginia reported that Garnett wore a black felt hat with a silver lining, a uniform coat with general stars and wreath, top boots with his trousers tucked inside and spurs during the assault. General Garnett’s body was never identified as a person of rank. He was apparently stripped of his saber and other indications of rank identifying him as a general and was probably buried on the field as a private. the bay gelding General Garnett was riding at the time was also mortally wounded and was seen by Private Clay and Captain Campbell (probably 2nd lieutenant archibald Campbell of Company “G” of the 18th Virginia) with a huge gash on his right shoulder, probably caused by shrapnel. the horse jumped both 2nd lieutenant Campbell and Private Clay as it ran to the rear. General Garnett was posthumously awarded the southern Cross of Honor (equivalent to the Medal of Honor) for his actions during the battle.

His height was about five feet ten, his carriage graceful, complexion a clear olive, head faultless in shape, eyes large and lustrous.

He was caught by one of his aides, laid on the ground and taken to the rear. He did not participate in the remainder of the fighting. While convalescing in richmond, Va, southern diarist Mary Chesnut wrote that he had a, “sad Quixote face, the face of an old Crusader, who believed in his cause, his cross, and his crown, we were not prepared for such a man as a beau-ideal of the wild texans. He is tall, thin, and shy; has blue eyes and light hair; a tawny beard, and a vast amount of it, covering the lower part of his face, the whole appearance that of awkward strength. someone said that his great reserve of manner he carried only into the society of ladies. Major [Charles s.] Venable added that he had often heard of the light of battle shining in a man’s eyes. He had seen it once—when he carried to Hood orders from lee, and found in the hottest of the fight that the man was transfigured. the fierce light of Hood’s eyes I can never forget.” He was the son of dr.

lee, William J. Hardee, George thomas, earl Van dorn, George stoneman and edmond Kirby smith. He returned home 14 March 1856 after learning his father had suffered a debilitating stroke and was sent to Camp Mason in texas in december 1856. His father died from complications 30 november 1857, leaving the power of attorney to John. While in texas, he received a Comanche arrow wound through the left hand which pinned it to his saddle at devil’s river, tX, but he was able to break the arrow’s shaft with his right hand freeing the left from the saddle and did not leave the field. Promoted 1st lieutenant 17 november 1858, he commanded Camp Colorado from June through august 1859, Camp alamo from september through October 1859 and Camp Wood from 31 december 1859 through september 1860. He was appointed chief instructor of cavalry at West Point in 1860 but declined the invitation because he wanted to remain in the field and returned to Camp Wood in texas in January 1861. On 15 January of that year, seeing the approaching conflict draw nearer and believing Kentucky would secede, he penned a letter to that state’s Governor, Beriah Magoffin and offered his services. Believing that Kentucky would not leave the Union, he resigned his United states army commission after fort sumter to serve his adopted state of texas. He first served as a Captain of Confederate cavalry before being promoted Colonel of the 4th texas Infantry 30 september 1861 and Brigadier General 3 March 1862. He led the soon to be famous texas Brigade during the Peninsula Campaign and saw action at Gaines Mill, Va, in June 1862 where it helped break the federal line. Commanding a division in lieutenant General James longstreet’s Corps, he was arrested in a dispute over captured ambulances during the pursuit of the federals after the Confederate victory at 2nd Manassas, Va, in august 1862. Confederate commander, robert e. lee, intervened when General longstreet threatened to remove General Hood from the army. He remained in arrest at the beginning of the sharpsburg Campaign of september 1862, but his men, shouting “Give us Hood!” influenced lee to return him to command. Promoted Major General 10 October 1862, he returned to duty from his Gettysburg wound 18 september 1863 and was wounded in the right leg at Chickamauga, Ga, two days later. the leg was amputated four inches below the hip by dr. t.G. richardson of new Orleans, la, and Hood spent four months recuperating during which time he became friends with President Jefferson davis. General longstreet recommended Hood for promotion to lieutenant General four days after Chickamauga and the Confederate Congress unanimously agreed on 11 february 1864. soon after his return from his Chickamauga wound, he was assigned to command a corps under Joseph eggleston Johnson in the army of tennessee and, because of President davis’ growing frustration with General Johnston’s defensive nature, General Hood was given command of the army of tennessee and the rank of General 18 July 1864. although he was never commissioned a full general, he went on to command the army through its

ill-fated attacks around atlanta, and the disastrous nashville Campaign from september through december 1864. near the end of the war he was ordered to texas to raise a Confederate army but surrendered to Major General J.W. davidson at natchez, Ms, soon after learning edmond Kirby smith had surrendered his forces. Hood was paroled 31 May 1865. after the war, he started “J.B. Hood and Co. Cotton factors and Commission Merchants,” a cotton business in new Orleans with John C. Barelli and fred thayer before being hired by his old commanding General James longstreet to assist his floundering insurance business. He went on to marry anna Marie Hennen, the daughter of new Orleans attorney duncan Hennen, 30 april 1868 and had eleven children (lydia [1869], twins annabel and ethel [1870], John, Jr. [1871], duncan [1873], twins Marion and lillian [1874], twins Odile and Ida [1876], Oswald [1878] and anna [1879]). a yellow fever epidemic cut off the city’s exports and his cotton business was virtually ruined after which he moved his family to the Hennen house at Hammond, la. a month after the birth of the couple’s eleventh child, his wife contracted yellow fever but apparently recovered from her illness before becoming reinfected after taking a bath. she died of the disease 24 august 1879 and General Hood and his oldest daughter, lydia, contracted the disease three days later. lydia died 29 august 1879 and General Hood followed her in death the next day at the age of 48.

He turned command of the brigade over to lieutenant Colonel William luffman of the 11th Georgia and was assisted from the field. In his after action report, General James longstreet commended him saying he was, “most distinguished for the exhibition of great gallantry and skill.” Born 3 february 1824 in Covington, Ga, he attended emory University and served as a lieutenant in a Georgia cavalry unit during the Mexican War of 1846–1848. He went on to receive a commission as a Captain of United states cavalry in 1855 but resigned three years later. a large land owner in Covington, Ga, at the time of his enlistment as Colonel of the 11th Georgia Infantry, he was given command of a brigade and saw action from Yorktown, Va, to sharpsburg, Md. trans-

Generals and Staff ferring to Hood’s division at the close of October 1862, he was promoted Brigadier General 1 november 1862 and served in a reserve role at fredericksburg and during the suffolk, Va, expedition in May 1863. While he did not impress his superior officers in all respects, the men in the ranks adored him and believed that he, “stands up to us like a father” and “he is always at his post.” following his Gettysburg wound he continued to command his brigade until its surrender at appomattox Court House, Va, 9 april 1865. following the war he was employed as a railroad freight agent, the police chief of atlanta, Ga, and anniston, al, and the county tax collector in anniston where he died 4 april 1901 at the age of 77 and was buried in edgemont Cemetery.

While he parried manfully the blows being rained on his devoted head with those snapping eyes flashing upon the man who shot him and said, “You dastardly coward—shoot a man from the rear!” and continued to fight the foes in front until rescued from his perilous position.” He was carried back to Virginia in the same ambulance as Major General John Bell Hood and did not return to his command until november 1863. He was awarded the southern Cross of Honor (equivalent to the Union Medal of Honor) for his actions during the battle. the grandson of Wade Hampton the 1st, a Colonel of cavalry in the american revolution and a member of the United states House of representatives and senate, and the son of Wade Hampton the 2nd, an officer of dragoons and aide to andrew Jackson during the War of 1812, General Hampton was born 28 March 1818 in Charleston, sC. an expert hunter and horseman, he graduated from the University of south Carolina in 1836 and in 1850 was employed as a planter in richland district, sC, residing with his Virginia born wife, 32year-old Margaret, two sons 10-year-old Wade the IV and 7-year-old thomas, and two daughters 5-year-old sally and 2-year-old Harriet.

He, like many of his southern comrades, did not support secession but could not take up arms against his home state and joined the south Carolina Militia as a private. On the recommendation of the south Carolina Governor, he accepted a colonelship and organized what became known as “Hampton’s legion,” financing the unit himself. He first saw action at 1st Manassas, Va, 21 July 1861 where he was slightly wounded in the cheek by a bullet. Promoted Brigadier General 23 May 1862, he was engaged at seven Pines, Va, 31 May 1862 where he was wounded in the foot but remained on his horse as the wound was treated. shortly after the Peninsula Campaign, he was assigned to the newly formed cavalry division under James ewell Brown stuart and conducted numerous successful raids capturing prisoners and supplies while in the vicinity of fredericksburg, Va, in december 1862. suffering a slight wound at Brandy station, Va, 9 June 1863, he went on to participate in J.e.B. stuart’s march around the federal army, which hindered General lee’s intelligence concerning the federal army as it moved north.

In January 1865, he returned to his home state to recruit and was promoted lieutenant General 14 february 1865. He did not return to the army of northern Virginia and surrendered with General Joseph eggleston Johnston’s army of tennessee at Bennett Place, durham, nC. He did not want to surrender and almost had an altercation with Brigadier General Judson “Kill Cavalry” Kilpatrick because Major General William tecumseh sherman’s forces burned his boyhood residence of Millwood, near Columbia, sC, and freed a number of his slaves. In 1865 he was nominated to run for Governor of south Carolina but refused due to what he thought would be northern suspicion of an exConfederate general running for office so quickly after the war. Instead he campaigned for people not to vote for him and eventually became the chairman of the state democratic Party central committee campaigning against radical republicans. In 1870 he was residing in richland district with his wife Mary, 11-year-old George, 29-year-old planter Wade the IV, 9-year-old son alfred and 10-year-old daughter Mary. re-entering politics in 1876, he renewed his campaign against radical republicans during reconstruction and ran for Governor

against daniel Henry Chamberlain. the election being too close to call, the south Carolina supreme Court decided that General Hampton had won and he became the first democratic Governor of the state since the war. re-elected two years later, he was thrown from a mule during a hunting expedition and broke his right leg. the new York times newspaper claimed the whole affair was a fraud so Governor Hampton would not have to sign election certificates even though the governor was not required to sign those types of documents at that time. His leg was amputated several weeks after his injury. He became a senator on the day his leg was amputated and served in the senate until 1891. In 1880 he was a widower residing in Columbia, sC, with his sons alfred and George, daughter Mary and his 24-year-old daughter in law. from 1893 to 1897, he was appointed the United states railroad Commissioner by President Grover Cleveland. two years later, his home in Columbia, sC, burned to the ground, but a group of his friends raised enough money to build him a new residence. In 1900 he was living in Columbia with daughter Mary? and 58year-old servant Willia Washington. General Hampton died at Columbia, sC, 11 april 1902 at the age of 84 and was buried in the trinity Cathedral Churchyard. there are statues of him in the south Carolina state house and United states Capitol and a south Carolina county, streets in eight south Carolina cities, two high schools, a residence hall at the University of south Carolina, two parks and a cargo ship were named after him the last being sunk by a German U–Boat off the coast of Greenland during World War II. JENKINS, albert Gallatin (Brigadier General): aged 32 at the battle, he met with General lee on seminary ridge and was ordered to protect the exposed eastern flank of lieutenant General richard ewell’s second Corps east of town. He apparently badly misinterpreted his orders or was waiting for a signal from the corps to lead it to its desired location but this left John Brown Gordon’s and William smith’s brigades, both of whom were performing the duties assigned to General Jenkins, unable to join the attack on Culp’s Hill. Jenkins was wounded by shrapnel 2 July on Blocher’s Knoll while surveying federal positions south of town. the explosion killed his horse and Jenkins’ face was covered with blood. Command of his brigade devolved on Colonel Milton J. ferguson of the 16th Virginia Cavalry and General Jenkins was transported to West Virginia where he recovered from his wound. the son of Captain William Jenkins and Jeanette Grigsby Mcnutt, he was born 10 november 1830 in Cabell County, Va (now West Virginia) and was educated at the University of Marshall in Maple Grove, Va, before graduating from Washington and Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pa, in 1848 and Harvard law school two years later. He was admitted to the bar in 1850, but decided to return to his plantation instead of starting a law practice at that time. In 1856 he was named a delegate to the democratic national Convention in Cincinnati, OH, and served as a democrat in the United states Congress from 1857 through 1861. In

1860 he was a farmer worth $100,000 ($2.8 million today) residing in Cabell County with his wife, 20-yearold Jennie and 6-month old son, James Brolin. He resigned from Congress shortly after Virginia seceded and returned to his home state where he raised a company of partisan rangers. described as being 5'10" with brown hair and blue eyes, his company joined the 8th Virginia Cavalry and caused such a nuisance to federal interests in Western Virginia that the Governor of the state, francis H. Pierpont, appealed to abraham lincoln for help. albert was promoted lieutenant Colonel 24 september 1861 and elected to the Confederate Congress in early 1862. Upon returning to the army, he was promoted Brigadier General 5 august 1862 and continued harassing federal supply trains and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. He raided northern Kentucky, Western Virginia, and southern Ohio and became one of the first Confederates to invade the north. Confederate General William loring commended him for his raid into Ohio stating, “that brilliant and enterprising general executed the plan with such success that in his march of 500 miles he captured 300 prisoners, destroyed many garrisons of home guards and the records of the Wheeling and federal governments in many counties, and after arming his command completely with captured arms, destroyed at least 5,000 stand of small-arms and immense stores. Prosecuting at least 20 miles of his march in the state of Ohio, he exhibited, as he did elsewhere in his march, a policy of such clemency as won us many friends, and tended greatly to mitigate the ferocity which had characterized the war in this section. the conduct of his officers and men has received my unqualified approbation, and deserves the notice and thanks of the government.” In March 1863, he conducted a raid to the Ohio river and in May of that year was ordered by General lee to the shenandoah Valley. during the Gettysburg Campaign, he was used primarily to screen richard ewell’s II Corps and assist in taking Chambersburg, Pa, where he burned bridges and damaged railroads. after seizing this town, the brigade moved with ewell’s Corps towards Carlisle, Pa, and skirmished with Union militia at sporting Hill near the capitol of Harrisburg. returning from his Gettysburg wound in the fall of 1863, he was forced to again absent himself from his command shortly thereafter when his wife became blind. He was appointed commander of the department of Western Virginia about 1 May 1864 and was severely wounded in the left arm at Cloyd’s Mountain, Va, eight days later. He was captured and the limb was amputated in an attempt to save his life, but he succumbed to his wound 21 May 1864 and was originally buried in new dublin Presbyterian Cemetery in dublin, Va. after the war, his body was moved to his home in Greenbottom, near Huntington, WV, and re-interred in the Confederate Plot in spring Hill Cemetery in Huntington where he is now buried.

Generals and Staff advancing towards the “first line of intrenchments (sic)” on Culp’s Hill. His wound bled profusely and he was removed from the field, the command of the brigade devolving on Colonel John C. Higginbotham of the 25th Virginia. He returned to his home state of Virginia, where he convalesced until returning to the army before the fall campaign of 1863. Born in Charlottesville, Va, 20 July 1820, he was nicknamed “rum” due to his fondness for that drink with which he was often seen. He graduated 39th in a class of 52 from West Point in 1841 with nineteen other officers who would become Civil War generals including John fulton reynolds, nathaniel lyon, robert s. and richard Brooke Garnett, amiel W.

Promoted to Captain 3 March 1865, he served on garrison duty and participated in the Mormon expedition from 1858 to 1860. He resigned his commission in the United states army 27 May 1861 and entered the Confederate service as a captain of artillery. He was promoted lieutenant Colonel in september 1861, assigned as the adjutant and Inspector General on the staff of then Major General richard ewell, and continued to serve in this capacity when Jubal anderson early assumed command for the wounded General ewell at 2nd Manassas in august 1862. He was regarded as, “very gallant and efficient” during his service as a staff officer with General ewell who often cited him meritoriously. a fellow staff member from louisiana regarded him as, “one of the best officers … in the army” and General lee promoted him to Brigadier General before the Chancellorsville Campaign of May 1863. soon after returning from his Gettysburg wound, he was severely wounded in the head while riding his lines at Payne’s farm, Va, 27 november 1863. at the Wilderness, Va, 5 May 1864, he remained behind as his brigade withdrew and was seen, “gazing at the approaching enemy” when he and his aidede-Camp, robert early, were shot dead. following his death, lieutenant General ewell stated, “I considered his loss an irreparable one to his brigade.” His body was transported to his home and he is buried in Maplewood Cemetery in Charlottesville, Va. PETTIGREW, James Johnston (Brigadier General): thirty-four years of age at the time of the battle, he led Henry Heth’s division on 3 July and was severely wounded in the arm by canister fire, which broke some bones. His horse was killed during the advance and he was forced to continue the attack on foot but remained with his division until it was repulsed. He was helped to the rear by Captain thomas J. Cureton of Company “B,” 26th north Carolina who was also wounded during the assault. as General Pettigrew approached the Confederate line on seminary ridge, he encountered General lee who, seeing that he was wounded, remarked, “General, I am sorry to see you are wounded; go to the rear.” He continued to command his division with his arm in a

sling. the son of ebenezer and ann shepherd Pettigrew and the second cousin of federal Brigadier General John Gibbon, he was born in tyrell County, nC, 4 July 1828. He was educated by private tutors and enrolled in the University of north Carolina at the age of 15 where he was an outstanding student. His best subjects included mathematics, languages and liberal arts but he also excelled in the sports of fencing and boxing. following his graduation, he was appointed an assistant professor at the naval Observatory in Washington, d.C., by President James K. Polk and went on to study law in Baltimore, Md. He joined his uncle’s law firm in Charleston, sC, but did not get along well with him and left to study civil law in Germany. travelling through europe, he learned french, German, Italian and spanish and acquired some knowledge of Greek, Hebrew and arabic. He spent seven years in europe and wrote a book titled notes on spain and the spaniards and served in the diplomatic service. after returning the United states, he entered politics and was elected to the state legislature in 1856. Before the war broke out, he was named colonel of the 1st regiment of rifles, Charleston militia and saw action at fort sumter in april 1861. He enlisted as a private in Wade Hampton’s legion and was elected Colonel of the 22nd north Carolina 11 July 1861 before being offered a brigadier generalship which he declined due to his inexperience. Promoted Brigadier General 26 february 1862, he was severely wounded at seven Pines, Va, 31 May 1862 by a bullet in the lower portion of the throat, which struck his windpipe, passed under the collarbone, tore the bone tissue from his shoulder and cut an artery. as he lay wounded, he received another bullet wound in the arm and a bayonet wound in the right leg. His men, thinking him mortally wounded, left him on the field and he was captured. Command of his brigade was given to William dorsey Pender as Pettigrew recovered from his wound but he was given a brigade in southern Virginia and north Carolina upon his return to duty. On 30 May 1863, his and Brigadier General Joseph robert davis’ Mississippi brigade, were traded to the army of northern Virginia for two of General lee’s brigades. a friend of General Pettigrew thought that he, “seemed to have every attribute of a great soldier” and “uniting with the brightest mind and an active body a disposition which had him the idol of his men, and a courage of theoretical knowledge that I think it really impaired his usefulness, but experience, which he was getting fast, would soon have corrected that.” another soldier commented that he was, “quick in his movements and quick in his perception and in his decision…. His habit was to pace restlessly up and down in front of his tent with a cigar in his mouth which he never lighted…. as gentle and modest as a woman, there was an undoubted capacity to command, which obtained for Pettigrew instant obedience.” He was also considered as being, “courteous, kindly and chivalric unfailingly a gentleman.” spending his 35th birthday in pain on 4 July as the Confederates began their retreat from Gettysburg, he was able to lead the division until the return of Henry Heth on 7 July. He returned to

General Pettigrew was hit, apparently by a pistol shot, in the left side of the abdomen just above the hip as he pursued federal cavalryman through a garden. the bullet passed downward and came out of his back but the General refused to be captured by the federals and was carried on a stretcher across the Potomac. He died of his wound three days later near Bunker Hill, WV. following his death, a day of mourning was proclaimed in north Carolina and General lee noted that, “the army has lost a brave soldier and the Confederacy an accomplished officer.” His body was transported to his home state where he was buried at the family estate “Bonarva.” during World War II, the cargo ship U.s.s.

Mortally Wounded and Captured ARMISTEAD, lewis addison “lo” (Brigadier General): He apparently gave his wedding ring from his second wife, Cecelia, to General Pickett before the charge either late 2 July or early 3 July. Before the brigade went into action on the 3rd he told his men, “Men, remember your wives, your mothers, your sisters and your sweethearts” and as the charge commenced, he put his black slouch hat on the tip of his sword to serve as a guide for his brigade. the sharp point pierced the fabric and slid down the blade. as he went over the stonewall at the angle he shouted, “Come on boys, give them the cold steel! Who will follow me?” shot three times in the fleshy part of the arm, leg and below the knee after crossing the wall, he steadied himself on one of the abandoned guns of alonzo Cushing’s battery and fell shortly thereafter. as he lay wounded, he displayed a Masonic sign and was assisted by fellow Mason, Captain Henry H. Bingham. a battlefield marker now pinpoints the spot where he was wounded. a federal doctor did not consider his

BARKSDALE, William (Brigadier General): Before the brigade’s attack on the Peach Orchard, he pleaded with lieutenant General James longstreet to charge a federal battery to his front saying, “General, I wish you would let me go in, I could take that battery in five minutes!,” but longstreet told him to wait. following this incident, General Barksdale summoned his regimental commanders and told them, “the line in front must be broken. to do so, let every Officer and man animate his comrades by his personal presence in the front line.” He ordered his colonels to dismount but bravely remained in his saddle mounted on a white charger and commanded his men, “Halt! front! Order arms! load! fix Bayonets! the entrenchment 500 yards in front of you at the red barn, and that park of artillery as well as the cone mountain (little round top), which is covered with riflemen screened by huge boulders, and beside that entrenched line there is another 200 yards beyond which we are also expected to take. this is a heroic undertaking and most of us will bite the dust making this effort. now if there is a man here that feels this is too much for him, just step two paces to the front and I will excuse him. We will proceed to within 75 yards of the entrenchment withholding our fire. there you will receive the command, Halt! ready! fire!, after which, without command you will charge with the bayonet” after this fiery speech he commanded, “attention, Mississippians! Battalions forward! dress to the colors and forward to the foe! Onward, Brave Mississippians, for Glory!” as the attack began, and the brigade exited Biesecker’s Woods, a soldier noted that General Barksdale was “in front, leading the way, hat off, his wispy hair shining so that it reminded of “the white plume of navarre.” as the attack gained momentum, and seeing the federals were about to break, he implored his men to, “advance, advance! Brave Mississippians, one more charge and the day is ours!” He was shot through the left portion of the chest from behind, and wounded in both legs 2 July as Colonel George Willard’s Brigade counterattacked across Plum run Valley. His left leg was broken below the knee by a bullet and the arch of his left foot destroyed by a case shot which knocked him off his horse. He exclaimed to one of his aides, W.r. Boyd, “I am killed! tell my wife and children that I died fighting at my post.” due to his severe wounds he was left on the field by his men and he died on the morning of 3 July at the Jacob Hummelbaugh house on Cemetery ridge.

Wounded and Captured TRIMBLE, Isaac ridgeway (Major General): sixtyone years of age at the battle, he was wounded in the ankle during longstreet’s assault 3 July while riding his horse “Jinny” who was also wounded as they approached the emmitsburg road. faint due to his wound, he was able to return to Confederate lines where dr. Hunter McGuire amputated his leg at the lower third. He later commented on the charge saying, “If the men I had the honor to command that day could not take that position,

Generals and Staff all hell couldn’t take it.” fearing his leg might become infected during the long trip back to Virginia, General trimble decided to remain behind and was captured about 6 July while in the care of a Gettysburg family. He was treated at the lutheran theological seminary Hospital until august then moved to a federal prison and recommended for parole shortly thereafter. former secretary of War simon Cameron disapproved of the parole however, reasoning that trimble knew too much about northern railroads. He was confined at Johnson’s Island, OH, and fort Warren on George’s Island in Boston Harbor. In March 1865, he was sent to City Point, Va, for exchange, but was not paroled until 16 april 1865 after robert e. lee’s surrender at appomattox seven days earlier. the son of John and rachel ridgeway trimble, he was born in Culpeper County, Va, 15 May 1802 and at the age of 20 was nominated by his uncle, david, to attend West Point from where he graduated 17th in a class of 42 in 1822. Commissioned a Brevet 2nd lieutenant of artillery, he served in the 1st and 3rd United states artillery before leaving the army to work in the business of railroad construction. an excellent student of engineering while at West Point, he was employed as an assistant in surveying the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the construction engineer for the Boston and Providence railroad, chief engineer for the Baltimore and susquehanna railroad, Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, the Philadelphia and Baltimore Central railroad and the superintendent of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad.

In 1860 he was employed as an engineer in Baltimore and resided there with his wife, 50-year-old ann and 25-year-old son david. When the war started, he tried to harass the federals as much as possible by burning bridges north of Baltimore. realizing Maryland would not secede, he went to Virginia and became a Colonel of engineers in the Provisional army in May 1861. He was promoted Brigadier General 9 august 1861, assigned to build batteries along the Potomac river, and assisted in the defense of norfolk, Va, before being given a brigade in thomas J. Jackson’s Corps. His brigade saw action during the now famous Valley Campaign, the seven days and the northern Virginia Campaign in which Isaac was wounded in the leg apparently by an exploding bullet at the Unfinished railroad during the Battle of 2nd Manassas, Va, 29 august 1862. due largely to thomas J. Jackson’s influence, he was promoted Major General 17 January 1863 but remained unfit for regular duty due to his Manassas wound and was relegated to light duty in the shenandoah Valley district. a recurring illness forced him to relinquish command of his division to edward Johnson who lead it Gettysburg. at the beginning of the Gettysburg Campaign, he joined robert e. lee’s headquarters and eventually served in lieuten-

The battalion’s black canine mascot, named “Grace,” a stray that had been picked up by the unit on its way to Gettysburg, was killed during the early morning assault on Culp’s Hill 3 July. according to firsthand accounts, the dog charged the Federal position on her own and pierced the Union line (the only Confederate to do so), barking with “valorous glee.” Federal Brigadier General, Thomas leiper Kane, mentioned that he last saw her on three legs between the Confederate and Federal lines apparently bewildered by the dead and wounded Southerners she found there. The loyal canine was soon “perfectly riddled” with bullets and mortally wounded but was able to lick the hand of a Federal soldier who tried to help her before succumbing to her wounds.
