PREFACE.

The distinctive feature of this work is, that the author has en
deavored to give a true and correct account of the services rendered
by each member of this brigade while in the Confederate army oppo
site their respective names. To accomplish this he used every means
within his power to procure the data herein recorded.
The records of file in the office of Adjutant-General of Georgia
copied from papers of file in the War Department at Washington,
D. C, are so incomplete and inaccurate as to the number of enlisted
men, promotions, discharges, transfers, wounds, deaths, etc., that he
had to rely to a large extent upon members of the various companies
qf each regiment for reliable information. It is probable, therefore,
that some errors may exist, but in the main it is correct.
No brigade in the Confederate army did more service, or suffered
more hardships, and none can boast of a prouder or more brilliant
record than that made by the Doles-Cook Brigade. Its regiments
were amongst the first to take arms in defense of the South, and did
not lay them down until General Robert E. Lee surrendered the army
of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court-house, Virginia, on the
9th day of April, 1865. On that fatal day the remnant of the Doles-
Cook Brigade followed the Stars and Bars as gallantly, fought as
bravely, and drove the enemy as steadily as they had done in the
past. Not until then did they cease to bear arms in defense of
the South.
Read the history of all the armies of any nation, and you will not
find a single one to compare to that of the Confederate army. They
were intelligent, brave, fearless and determined, but kind and gentle
manly in their bearings, respectful to their officers and obedient to
orders. They did not fight for conquest or glory, but simply for the
protection of their homes and the independence of the South.
The life of the Confederacy was brief, but brilliant and glorious.
No nation possesses such a priceless record as that made by her sol
diers ; none ever contended with so many disadvantages and against
such fearful odds; none ever displayed more courage, or exhibited
more loyal devotion to any cause than the Confederate soldier.
(V)

vi Preface.
The South is justly proud of the record made by her sons in this
unequal contest, and the ex-Confederate soldier whose record during
the dark and trying days from 1861 to 1865 entitles him to a
"Southern Cross of Honor," should desire no higher honor, for it
stamps its wearer a hero of the mightiest and most terrible war of
which we have any record. This badge of distinction has been pre
sented by " The Daughters of the Confederacy " as a mark of esteem,
and in recognition of their appreciation for the sacrifices made, the
hardships endured and dangers encountered by the Southern soldiers
in camp, along the march and upon the battle-field in defense of the
South, and its wearer should prove to these noble women that he is
worthy of their love, confidence and respect.
"The flag of no country or cause ever went down in defeat with
such a halo of glory. No cause ever had a more devoted, self-sacrific
ing people to sustain it ; while the bravery, the devotion, the energy,
the unselfishness and heroism of the noble women of the South,
throughout the entire struggle, is unparalleled in the history of the
world. "No armies were ever led to battle by greater generals, and no
generals ever commanded better, braver, or more patriotic soldiers.
And last, but not least, no brighter intellect, or purer statesman, no
patriot with clearer conscience, purer heart, or more lofty purposes
ever wielded power or guided the Ship of State than Jefferson Davis,
the gifted and noble President of the Confederate States."
For our participation in this struggle we have no apologies to make,
for our cause was just and holy.
This period in Georgia's history is the most brilliant jewel in her
crown, and the records of these stirring and eventful days should be
sacredly kept and put in tangible shape regardless of cost, so that
future generations may know of the splendid services rendered by her
volunteer soldiers. But little information is to be gained from the
records in the office of Secretary of State in regard to the Revolu
tionary, Indian, and Mexican wars. In a few years the same state of
affairs will exist in regard to the Confederate records unless steps are
taken for their preservation.
In securing the information contained in this work the author had
much to contend with, but by patient and persistent labor has suc
ceeded in getting it in satisfactory shape to himself, and he trusts that
it may prove interesting and satisfactory to his comrades. A pardon-

able pride in the achievements of this brigade urged him forward, and
now that his task is done, he has the consciousness of having performed
his duty to the best of his ability.
The author is indebted to Charles Tim Furlow of the Fourth,
Charles D. Camp and B. F. Jones of the Twenty-first, and M. V. B.
Estes of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiments for their services in
writing the histories of their respective regiments which form a part
of the history of the Doles-Cook Brigade.
With few exceptions the members of this brigade to whom letters
were addressed responded promptly, and gave full and explicit an
swers to all questions propounded, and their co-operation and assist
ance has been of incalculable benefit to the author, for without their
aid he would have been almost helpless because of the meager and
unsatisfactory information to be had at the State and National
capitols. To each and every member of this brigade, and to all
others who have rendered any assistance in the preparation of this
work, he tenders his sincere thanks.

INTRODUCTION.

The volume of historical records following this introduction is the
product of Confederate comrades who have survived to tell a story
of heroism in the just cause of the Confederacy, The facts were
made to the hand of the historian by the men of four Georgia infantry
regiments — the Fourth, Twelfth, Twenty-first and Forty-fourth — each
regiment making historic fame for itself, and all making famous the
name of the Doles-Cook Brigade. That the story was written by an
author who was himself an actor and whose skill in recital was sharp
ened by personal experience will be apparent on every page. That
indefatigable industry has been put into exercise to collect scattered
data and compile records that ought to, and will endure for all time
is shown throughout the work. It is evident, also, that the author's
warm heart, throbbing in unison with common brigade memories and
in the community of a dear comradeship with all fellow-soldiers,
inspired and led every faculty of his nature to the achievement of
this permanent archive. Thousands yet unborn will call " blessed"
the men who rescued from obscurity the history of the distinguished
brigade and the names of the gallant young soldiers who fought to
gether under its flags.
It is an old saying, that the victor writes the history of a struggle.
This is nearly true of many wars where the resistance of a people to
superior force failed of success. Lands overrun by conquerors have
been blighted, their resistance defamed and their heroes maligned in
story, and the records made up to suit the conqueror's policies. But
the South was never conquered. It was not understood by Lee and
Johnston on the Confederate part, nor Grant and Sherman on
the Federal part, that surrender meant subjugation. If it was
conquest that was effected at Appomattox and Bentonville the Con
federate soldiers and Southern people behaved with singular disregard
of such a result. They returned home and resumed the pursuits of
peaceful life, fought down the sectional fury of the first years after
the surrender, outlived the sectional prejudice of their former foes,
and maintained a noble, dignified, patriotic attitude which challenged
and commanded the just admiration of mankind. As to the writing
(IX)

x Introduction.
of the history by the victor, that was indeed attempted, but every
page of that history was so replete with undesigned suggestions of
Confederate intelligence, heroism, endurance, and high regard for
honor and humanity, that the readers began to suspect the whole
truth by reading between the lines. The written histories of the first
years after the war were like the monuments at Gettysburg and
Chickamauga where the Southern story would be well told if not one
Southern tablet had been placed on either field. The Southern people
made a history which can not be effaced any easier than the stars can
be swept from the sky by a broom.
It is, however, too true that the Southern States have been culpa
ble in neglecting their records, rosters, biography and history. Geor
gia is especially faulty in this neglect. Her patriotic men of 1 860
to 1865, to the number of nearly a hundred thousand, defended her
honor at the cost of privation, wounds, imprisonment and life, yet
there is but a scant roll of their names in her archives.
Confederate soldiers themselves are not blameless in regard to this
neglect of our history. They have even permitted their children to
be misled by partisan books taught in the schools. They have not in
sisted on the collection and compilation of our records, rosters and
muster-rolls. They have rested their cause on the truth of history,
but they have not published the lustrous facts.
It should be taken as a sign that long-neglected obligations will be
now performed when we see this volume issued. It is a pioneer in
the most important work now remaining for the survivors of the
Confederate army. The book itself proves what can be done, and it
invites companionship. It will be read by many who were not mem
bers of the brigade, and every reader will have the desire aroused that
his own command should have a like honorable place in history.
Thus, the author and the Confederate soldiers of the Doles-Cook
Brigade who assisted him in the production of this work, did some
thing even greater by providing a plan and producing an incentive
which, it is trusted, will result in a full library of similar volumes.
It remains to be properly said that the Georgia brigade which the
writer of this introduction had the honor to command was in the same
campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia where the Doles-Cook
Brigade often won the cheers of their associated commands. He had,
therefore, frequent opportunity to admire the valor and fidelity of the
regiments of which there can not be praise too great.

DOLES-COOK BRIGADE
Army of Northern Virginia,
v_^. O. A..

BRIGADE HISTORY.

CHAPTER I.
This brigade was composed of the Fourth, Twelfth, Twenty-first
and Forty-fourth Regiments Georgia Volunteer Infantry.
The Twelfth and Twenty-first Geoi'gia Regiments were transferred
from Hoke's to Deles' Brigade on the 19th of January, 1863, which
at that date consisted of the Fourth and Forty-fourth Georgia and
the First and Third North Carolina. When the Twelfth and
Twenty-first were assigned to Doles' Brigade, the First and Third
North Carolina Regiments were transferred to a North Carolina brigade.
From this date the four Georgia regiments named remained together
until the surrender of Lee's Army at Appomattox Court House, Vir
ginia, April 9, 1865, without change except as to brigade commanders,
General Philip Cook being placed in command of the brigade July,
1864, on account of the death of General George Doles, who was
killed at Cold Harbor, Va., July 2, 1864.
Previous to this consolidation the Fourth Georgia Regiment was
in Blanchard's, Wright's and Ripley's brigade ; the Twelfth Georgia
was in Henry R. Jackson's, Edward Johnson's, Arnold Elzey's, Jubal
A. Early's, Isaac R. Trimble's and Robert F. Hoke's brigade ; the
Twenty-first Georgia was in Crittenden's, Trimble's and Hoke's bri
gade, and the Forty-fourth Georgia was in J. G. Walker's and Rip
ley's brigade.
The Twelfth Georgia was transferred from Early's to Trimble's
Brigade August 27, 1862. This transfer placed the Twelfth and
and Twenty-first Georgia in the same brigade, and they were together
from that date until they were transferred to Doles' Brigade, and there
after until the close of hostilities.

2 Doles-Cook Brigade.
BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE.
The first battle in which this brigade participated after its consoli
dation was at Chancellorsville, then in D. H. Hill's Division, com
manded by Brigadier-General R. E. Rodes. This battle was one of
the most brilliant and successful engagements to the Confederate arms
which occurred during the entire war.
1 The division at that time was composed of the following brigades,
viz. : Doles', Colquitt's, Iverson's, Ramseur's and Rodes'.
On the morning of April 29 the enemy crossed the Rappahannock
river, and we marched from Grace Church to Hamilton's Crossing,
and were placed in position on the extreme right of the army. On
the 1st of May we marched by the Military road from Hamilton's
Crossing until we reached the junction of the Fredericksburg and
Orange Court House Plank road, thence up the Plank road for two
miles. Being in advance of the corps, after leaving one brigade to
reinforce Major-General Anderson, we continued our march for about
half a mile, when the division was marched by the right flank to the
top of a hill and formed line of battle, where we remained until sun
set, when our march was resumed up the Plank road, and that
night we camped near Aldrich's Tavern, one and a quarter miles from
Chancellorsville. We resumed our march about eight o'clock on the
morning of the 2d, and at four p.m. were formed in line of battle
across the old Turnpike two and a half miles from Chancellorsville.
Doles' Brigade was on the right center, the right of Rodes' and left of
Doles' resting on the road. Each brigade commander had positive
instructions to make the road his guide, and to push forward as rapidly
as possible until the enemy's position at Talley's, house was carried.
The word was given to move forward at five fifteen p.m., our sharp
shooters being about four hundred yards in advance. The line of battle
rushed forward with a yell. As Doles' Brigade came out of the woods
it encountered the enemy and a battery with two guns intrenched. Doles
detached two of his regiments to flank the position, and charged with
out halting, sweeping everything before him, and pressing on, gal
lantly carried the works at Talley's, capturing by a flank move
ment with a portion of his command five guns. The success of the
whole line was so complete and the movement such a surprise that it
met with scarcely any organized resistance after the first volley was
fired. The confusion was so great that the enemy fled, leaving the
field strewn with arms, accouterments, clothing, caissons and field-

pieces in every direction. The larger portion of this force occupied in-
trenchments at right angles to our line, and being taken in flank and
Tear, did not wait for the attack. An effort was made to check
this fleeing column when it reached an extended line of works near
Melzi Chancellor's house, which faced in our direction, but they only
ield their position long enough to fire a hasty volley at our gallant
troops as they dashed at them with a wild shout, then continued their
headlong flight to Chancellorsville. Our troops continued to pursue
the enemy until the confusion and darkness were such that it was not
•deemed advisable to make a farther advance.
On the morning of May 3 Doles' Brigade was placed on the right
¦of the division, and the attack was resumed about six a.m. Doles ad
vanced on the right, and after passing the first line of intrenchments,
which had been carried, and the first and second line of our troops,
he became fiercely engaged. After deflecting to the right and pass
ing up a ravine behind the graveyard on Chancellor's Hill, he finally
¦came out in the field nearly opposite the house, and drove the enemy
before him, and reached a point several hundred yards in rear of the
troops opposing General Anderson's Division and the rest of Rodes'
Division. He was finally compelled to fall back, and was then direc
ted by General Lee to take charge of a large body of prisoners. That
afternoon Doles' Brigade was on the right of the division, and posted
parallel with and close to the Plank road. The next day Doles was
thrown across the road, connecting with General Pender on the left.
¦On the 5th skirmishers were sent out to ascertain the enemy's posi
tion and strength, and found him in strong numbers and well in
trenched. On Wednesday, the 6th, skirmishers were again ordered
to feel the enemy. They found that the Army of the Potomac had
•evacuated its position and withdrawn across the river. We were then
ordered to march back to our old encampment.
General Doles, in his official report, says : "I cannot speak in terms
too high of Colonel Cook and Lieutenant-Colonel (D. R. E.) Winn,
of the Fourth Georgia ; Colonel (Edward) Willis and Major (Isaac)
Hardeman, of the Twelfth Georgia ; Colonel (John T.) Mercer and
Major (T. C.) Glover, Twenty-first Georgia; Lieutenant-Colonel
{Samuel P.) Lumpkin, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. To their
promptness and gallantry, and the able manner in which they were
fiustained by the officers and men of their commands, all of whom did
their whole duty, I acknowledge my indebtedness. To my Staff

ins, A. D. C; Lieutenant (Richard V.) Jones, Brigade Inspector ?
Sergeant Furlow and Privates Cheeves and Ormsby, Couriers, I am
under many obligations for assistance given me. I respectfully com
mend them for gallantry and meritorious conduct."
General R. E. Rodes, in closing his report, has this to say : " The-
division sustained a heavy loss in killed and wounded, principally on
the second day. The conduct of its men and officers was such as to-
win the highest encomiums from General Jackson, and such as had
been rarely equaled. It is impossible for me within reasonable limits
to mention all the officers and men who were distinguished for gallant
and meritorious conduct at this battle. It is, however, my duty to
call attention to the great gallantry in this action of Brigadier-Gen
eral Doles, Colonel Edward Willis, Twelfth Georgia ; Colonel Philip
Cook, Fourth Georgia, severely wounded. Four of my couriers —
C. S. Ellis, Company B, Fourth Georgia, etc. — were of great service
to me during the battle, and exhibited great courage and intelligence."'
Colonel Augustus C. Hamlin, a Federal soldier, of the Eleventh
Corps, United States Army, in a pamphlet written by him in regard
to the battle of Chancellorsville, has this to say : "The Army of
Northern Virginia at this time was a remarkable and powerful body- ,
of men, led by one of the ablest soldiers of the age. It was skilled in
the use of arms, hardened in service, animated in a high degree with
the enthusiasm of the cause and the desperate courage of self-defense^
"The Confederate in his faded uniform was almost invincible in the
woods, and his skill as a marksman, his knowledge in bushcraft, cer
tainly compensated largely for a considerable inequality in numbers,
and in the thickets of Chancellorsville, and later in the Wilderness,
the Confederate soldier was certainly superior to his antagonist, man
for man, courage reckoned as equal. So confident was Lee in the
strength of his army and his position at this time that he had sent
Longstreet, with two of his divisions, away down to southeastern Vir
ginia, having at his disposal but sixty thousand men, which he deemed
ample to meet any movement made by the Army of the Potomac,
with double its number of men.
" The skirmish line of Rodes' Division was composed of select rifle
men, and was led by Colonel Willis, of the Twelfth Georgia, and so>
well did he perform his duty that Jackson spoke highly of him in his
last moments. Another part of the skirmish line was commanded by
Colonel Blackford, and Jackson's orders were carried out so accurately

Brigade History. 5
~by these men that, although over ten thousand men rested on their
arms for two hours or more within a mile of the right flank of the
Army of the Potomac, not a man deserted or escaped to give warning
•of the coming storm. Treachery could not have placed the faithful,
obedient and patient army of the Potomac in a more unfortunate and
perilous position than that in which it found itself at this moment,
when Sickles and a select force of the Federal army was about to at
tack Lee's ' retreating and dismayed' men, supposed to be at or near
the Welford House; and Hooker, completely blinded by the brilliant
reports coming from the front, sent word to Sedgwick that Lee was
in full retreat and Sickles was among his retreating trains. . . .
" Jackson was in the best of feelings when he ordered Rodes to ad
vance. He saw that his men, though fatigued, were full of enthu-
fiiasm and fight, and also that the way was apparently clear for the
destruction of a large part of the Federal army."
Jackson made a forced march of about twenty miles, and succeeded
in reaching the right flank of Hooker's army late in the afternoon of
May 2. This unexpected movement took the Federals completely
by surprise, and the charge of the Confederates was so terrible that
nothing could withstand its onward and brilliant advance. The enemy
fled in confusion, throwing away everything that would impede their
reckless flight. The battle raged with terrific force until long after
-dark, and the havoc was fearful. If this battle had commenced two
or three hours earlier in the day Hooker's whole army would either
have been destroyed or captured. The splendid victory gained was
dearly bought with the loss of the illustrious and successful Confeder
ate Lieutenant-General, Thomas J. ("Stonewall") Jackson. The
-official returns give the Federals 132,000 men and the Confederates
60,000 on the field and ready for active duty at Chancellorsville,
and report the Federal loss at 17,300, and that of the Confederates
at 12,500. A great many cannon and small arms were captured.

THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN.
Elated by the splendid victory of Chancellorsville, to which Doles'
Brigade had contributed its full share, the troops returned to their
-old quarters on the 6 th. Here we remained quietly until June 4,
when we broke camps and began the Pennsylvania campaign. We
marched to Culpepper Court House, and bivouacked about three miles

beyond the place. On the 9th we went to the support of Stuart's?
Cavalry, which was being hard pressed by a superior force of Fed
eral cavalry, but we were not engaged, the enemy having retreated
across the Rappahannock. General Rodes, who had been promoted
to major-general, now commanded our division. There was no braver
or better officer in the army, and his subsequent record proved that he-
well deserved his promotion. On the afternoon of the 10th we again
took the road, and after a ten-mile march bivouacked near Gourd
Vine church. The next day the march was resumed at an early
hour, and passing Gaines' Cross Roads, and on through Flint Hill,.
we camped about one and a half miles beyond. On the 12th, in ad
vance of the balance of the army, we crossed the Blue Ridge at Ches
ter's Gap, passed through Front Royal, forded both forks of the Shen
andoah river, then on through Cedarville toward Millwood, by an un
frequented road, for Berry ville. After a march of seventeen mile*
we camped near Stone Bridge. At sunrise, the 13th, we were on the-
way and marched rapidly through Millwood upon Berryville, which
was held by a force of cavalry, artillery and infantry. Our brigade,.
with Daniel's, Ramseur's and Ivereon's, endeavored to surround the
enemy by marching around the town under cover. Before we could
do so the enemy, abandoning his tents, stores, etc., fled precipitately
toward Winchester. At sunrise the next day set out for Martins-
burg, where we arrived about sundown after a rapid and fatigueing
march of twenty miles.
The enemy held the town with two regiments of infantry, a bat
tery of six rifled cannon and a regiment of cavalry. We formed
line of battle and advanced at once to the attack, but, the enemy,
after firing a few shells, retreated hurriedly toward Charlestown and
Williamsport. Our cavalry pursued, capturing their battery, with
its caissons and horses and ambulances. We found in the town six;
thousand bushels of fine grain and a considerable quantity of com
missary stores and some ammunition and small arms. On the 15th,
we were allowed to rest until ten a.m., then took the road to Wil
liamsport, Md. , forded the Potomac about sunset and bivouacked in
the outskirts of the town.
In his official report General Rodes says : "It was not until this
day that the troops began to exhibit unmistakable signs of exhaus
tion, and that stragglers could be found on the line of march, and
even then none but absolutely worn-out men fell out of line. The
whole march from Culpepper Court House to Williamsport, which

Brigade History. 7
was an extremely rapid one, was executed in a manner highly credit
able to the officers and men of the division. A .halt at Williams
port was absolutely necessary, from the condition of the. feet of the
unshod men. Very many of these gallant fellows were still march
ing in ranks, with feet bruised, bleeding and swollen, and withal so
cheerfully as to entitle them to be called the heroes of the Pennsyl
vania campaign. None but the best soldiers could have made such
a march under such circumstances."
Here we remained until the 19th, when we marched to Hagers-
town, Md., and bivouacked two miles beyond, on the road to Boons-
borough. We remained here for two days, and on the 22d re
sumed our march, entered Pennsylvania and camped at Greencastle.
When General Lee invaded Maryland and Pennsylvania he issued
stringent orders in regard to the conduct of the Confederate soldiers
while in the enemy's country, and the penalties to be inflicted for a
violation of these orders were extremely severe. As to his approval
of their obedience to his orders we find this in his official report of
the battle of Gettysburg :
" The highest praise is due to both the officers and men for their
conduct during the campaign. The privations and hardships of the
march and camp were cheerfully encountered, and borne with a forti
tude unsurpassed by our ancestors in their struggle for independence,
while their courage in battle entitles them to rank with the soldiers
of any army of any time. Their forbearance and discipline, under
strong provocation to retaliate for the cruelty of the enemy in our
own country is not their least claim to the respect and admiration of
their countrymen and of the world." Did any army ever have such
a high and beautiful tribute bestowed upon it by one so competent, so
grand, so good, pure, true and noble, so mode3t, yet so brave, who
ranks as one of the greatest and most illustrious generals of any age
or country ? Every man, woman and child in the South loved, hon
ored and admired him, while the Army of Northern Virginia was de
voted to him, and was ever ready to follow him blindly, knowing that
he would not needlessly sacrifice his men.
On the 24th, starting early, we passed through Chambersburg, with
bands at the head of the regiments playing Dixie and other Southern
airs, arms at the right-shoulder-shift, the boys stepping out lively to
the music, laughing and shouting to the gloomy- faced citizens, "Here's
your played-out rebellion." The Northern newspapers had been trying
to bolster up the faith of the Yankees in the success of their cause

before this by publishing that the rebellion was about played out,
etc. That night we camped a few miles beyond the town. Contin
uing the march on the 25th we reached Carlisle on the 27th, and our
brigade bivouacked in the campus of Dickinson College. We were
within twenty miles of Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, and
were elated with the hope that we would have that city before the
setting of another sun. Our cavalry proceeded thither, reconnoitered
it to learn the strength of its defenses, and our generals intended to
occupy it. But in consequence of the advance of Meade we were
held at Carlisle until June 30, when General Lee ordered our corps
to Cash Town to form a junction with Longstreet's Corps. We ac
cordingly moved toward it on the morning of the 30th, bivouacking
near Heidlersburg that night. Resuming the march the next morn
ing we arrived at Middletown, when the head of column was turned
towards Gettysburg. When the brigade was in about seven miles of
the place, the roar of cannon in front revealed to us the presence of
the enemy. At once all was excitement, and quickening our pace we
hurried forward to the aid of General Hill, who had engaged the en
emy. We arrived on the field about one p.m., and the division was
formed in line of battle on the left of General Hill's troops, with
Doles' Brigade on the left, Rodes' old brigade in the center, Iverson's
on the right, Ramseur's and Daniel's in reserve.
General Doles, in his official report, says : " The enemy's cavalry
appearing in force in front and on our left flank, skirmishers from this
command were ordered to dislodge them. After a short engagement,
they were driven from their position, which we occupied about three
thirty p.m. The enemy moved his force from our front and made a
strong demonstration on our left, driving our skirmishers from the
hill from which we had driven him. The command was them moved
by the left flank to meet any attack the enemy might make on our
left and rear. We found the enemy strongly posted, with infantry
and artillery on the hill from which our sharpshooters had been
driven. The brigade of General Gordon, of Major-General Early's
Division, having made a junction with our left, we moved forward to
the attack. We were successful. The enemy was driven from behind
a rock fence, with heavy loss and a large number of prisoners capt
ured. We suffered severely from the enemy's batteries and musketry
in this attack."
When we were ordered forward our brigade charged with that

Brigade History. 9
soul-stirring rebel yell, which once heard on the field of battle can
never be forgotten.
The Yankees soon broke, and fled in wild confusion, pursued by our
shouting, exultant men.
In doing so, we came upon a fresh force of the enemy who had lain
down in the growing wheat through which we were advancing, who
suddenly poured a volley into our line, killing and wounding many
men. Promptly wheeling, we formed into line facing them and very
soon killed, wounded, and captured the whole force. We then con
tinued our advance toward the Theological college, to the right of the
town, which placed us on the right flank of the enemy retreating be
fore the other brigades of our division. The enemy then fell back
from College hill to the railroad.
Our brigade then marched rapidly by the left flank in an attempt
to cut the enemy off from the town, but was unable to do so. We
•continued the pursuit through the town, and had a sharp engagement
in the streets, killing, wounding and capturing a good many men, with
small loss to ourselves. After driving the enemy through the town
we were halted in the outskirts of it, and returning formed line of
•battle in one of the streets running east and west through it, which
we held until about eight p.m. the next day, when we moved for
ward beyond the town, formed line of battle, together with the bri
gades of Ramseur and Iverson, and advanced to attack Cemetery
Ridge. When within a hundred yards of the enemy's position we were
halted, and after a short time we retired a few hundred yards and
formed line of battle in a dirt road, which we held until July 4, when
we fell back to a hill near the Theological college. The brigade was
not in battle after the 1st, but was engaged in skirmishing during the
.2d, 3d and 4th, sustaining some loss. While pursuing the routed
Eleventh Corps on July 1 the brigade had the unpleasant experience
of being mistaken for union troops and were fired upon by our own ar
tillery, which killed and wounded several men. Again, on July 3,
while lying in line of battle in front of Cemetery Ridge, we suf
fered some loss from our own shells in consequence of the fuses being
cut too short. General Rodes, in his report after speaking of the for
mation of the line of battle on July 1 with Doles on the left, says ;
"Before my dispositions were made, the enemy began to show large
bodies of men in front of the town, most of which were directed upon
the position which I held, and almost at the same time a portion of
the force opposite to General Hill changed position so as to occupy the

or others which had hitherto been unobserved behind the same body
of woods, soon made their appearance directly opposite my position-
Being thus threatened from two directions, I -determined to attack.
with my center and right, holding at bay still another force, then
emerging from the town (apparently with the intention of turning-
my left), with Doles' Brigade, which was moved somewhat to the left
for this purpose, and trusting to this gallant brigade, thus holding
them until General Early's division arrived, which I knew would be-
soon, and which would strike this portion of the enemy's force on the
flank before it could overpower Doles. . . .
"In the meantime, General Early's division had been brought into-
action on my left with great success, and Doles, thus relieved, without
waiting for orders, and though greatly outnumbered, boldly attacked
the heavy masses of the enemy in his front. After a short but des
perate contest, in which his brigade acted with unsurpassed gallantry,.
he succeeded in driving them before him, thus achieving on the left,
and about the same time, a success no less brillant than that of Ram
seur in the center and Daniel on the right. ... In this affair
Doles handled his men with a skill and effect truly admirable, exhibit
ing marked coolness and courage. . . The enemy was thus routed
at all points. My division followed him closely into and through the-
town. Doles and Ramseur entering in such close contact with the-
enemy that the former, who penetrated the heart of the town first of
all, had two sharp and successful encounters with the enemy in its«
streets. ... In the pursuit the division captured about two
thousand and five hundred prisoners — so many as to embarrass its-
movements materially."
On the morning of July 5, about one a.m., the army of Lee began
its retreat, and camped that night at the foot of South mountain, near
Fairfield. The next day our division was the rear guard of the army,,
and until after mid-day we would march a short distance and the
brigades successively form line of battle to receive the Federals in
case of attack, all the time skirmishing with them and subjected to-
the fire of their artillery. During the afternoon we continued our
march undisturbed, and bivouacked beyond Waterloo. Resuming our
march on the morning of the 7th we reached Hagerstown before noon.
The Potomac, swollen by the recent rains, being too high to ford Lee
here selected and fortified a position and offered Meade battle. Our
brigade had position near Funktown. On the night of the 14th we?

crossed the river, fording it at the mouth of the aqueduct at Wil
liamsport, Md. It was no pleasant experience and attended with con
siderable danger. The river was swollen by recent rains until it was
heck deep to the men, the water cold and rising. The men buckled
their cartridge boxes around their necks, and forded the river four
abreast with locked arms, in order to advoid being swept from their
feet by the force of the current and carried down stream. But in
spite of this precaution their cartridges were nearly all spoilt by the-
water. In his report General Rodes says: "All the circumstances attending
this crossing combined to make it an affair not only involving great
danger to the men and company officers, but, be it said to the ever
lasting honor of these brave fellows, [.they encountered it not only
promptly, but actually with cheers and laughter." . . . "I can
not, however, close this report without expressing my pride and ad
miration of the men and officers of this division from the time it left
Grace church until our return to Virginia; better marching, less-
straggling, hardships more cheerfully borne, conduct in an enemy's
country more commendable, and more generally marked by gentle.
manly and soldierly characteristics, and, finally, better behavior in
battle than was exhibited by this divison during the period has not
been, and I believe will never be exhibited by any other troops in the-
service. By their conduct at Gettysburg, I claim to have won the
expression from the general commanding the army, who saw their at
tack on July 1, 'I am proud of your division.'
"In concluding what I have to say about this campaign, I beg leave-
to call attention to the heroes of it ; the men who day by day sacrificed
self on the alter of freedom; those bare-footed North Carolinians,
Georgians, and Alabamians, who, with bloody and swollen feet, kept
to their ranks day after day for weeks. When the division reached
Darkesville nearly one-half of the men and many officers were bare
footed, and fully one-fourth had been so since we crossed the Blue
Ridge. These poor fellows had kept up with the column and in ranks
during the most rapid march of this war, considering its length, over
that worst of roads for footmen, the turnpike, and during the hottest
days of summer. These are the heroes of the campaign."
General Doles, in his report of the operations of his brigade, pays
the following high tribute to the officers and men composing it: "To.
Colonel Edward Willis and Major Isaac Hardeman of the Twelfth
Georgia ; Colonel J. T. Mercer, Lieutenant-Colonel T. W. Hooper

12 Doles- Cook Brigade.
and Major T. C. Glover of the Twenty-first Georgia ; Major W. H.
Willis of the Fourth Georgia and Major W. H. Peebles of the Forty-
fourth Georgia, I attribute the success of this command. The con
duct and gallantry of each of these officers on the march and dur
ing the engagements around Gettysburg are worthy of emulation.
The company officers and men all did their duty nobly. To Cap
tain S. G. Pryor, Twelfth Georgia ; Captain Joseph B. Reese,
Forty-fourth Georgia ; Lieutenant Jeremiah G. Stephens, Fourth
Georgia; Lieutenant James S. Wilder, Twenty-first Georgia, who
were in command of the sharpshooters of the brigade, too much
praise cannot be awarded. To Captain F. T. Snead, Assistant Ad
jutant-General, Lieutenant E. A. Hawkins, Aide-de-Camp, and C.
T. Furlow, of my staff, I am under obligations for valuable services
rendered. I have the honor to report and return one flag captured
by the Twelfth Georgia."
General Rodes, in his report among the officers of his division, who :
"For conduct which entitles them to the admiration of brave men and
to the gratitude of a good people, 'mentions General George Doles.' "
. Afterwards says: "All the field officers, with one exception,
are highly commended for their conduct. Company officers did their
duty nobly. The men generally acted in a manner worthy of all
praise." On the 15th the brigade marched to Darkesville, near which it
bivouacked and remained until the 22d, and then proceeded up the
valley and camped near Winchester. The following day the division
went to the relief of Wright's brigade, which was confronting a heavy
force of Meade's army advancing through Manassas Gap. It arrived
in an opportune time and saved Wright's Brigade, which was confront
ing an overwhelming force of the enemy. We found Wright's entire
brigade deployed as skirmishers and engaged with the enemy. Our
sharpshooters were sent to strengthen Wright, while our division
formed line of battle a little in his rear on a spur of the mountains.
Our artillery opening upon the enemy in aid of Wright, drove back
the attacking force and put an end to the engagement.
That night our troops fell back on the Luray road and bivouacked
near Front Royal. The next day we continued the march and camped
near Luray for a day or two and then proceeded to Madison Court
House, via Thorntons, Va., where we arrived on the 29th. Here we.
remained until September 14, when we removed to Somerville Ford
on the Rapidan to support our cavalry, but we were not engaged.

Brigade History. 13'
We then took position at Moreton's Ford on the Rapidan and threw
up intrenchments and remained here until the 8th day of October,
when we marched up the river and crossed, seeking the rear of Meade's
army. Marching over country roads we traversed Madison and Cul
pepper counties. Near Warrenton Springs we were engaged in sup
porting our cavalry all day of October 14, skirmishing with the enemy,
losing several men wounded. After this we did not come into contact .
with the enemy, as our division brought up the rear of the army in its
advance. On the return of the army we were stationed on the Rap
pahannock to guard Kelly's Ford, and expected to remain through the
winter. But the Union forces unexpectedly advanced and drove back our
troops on picket at the ford and crossed the river. We marched down
near the river, formed line of battle and held our positions until after
dark. We then fell back, marching all night, occasionally taking
position and forming line of battle, and kept doing so all the next day,
and crossed the Rapidan about midnight at Raccoon Ford. In ad
dition to the loss of sleep our troops suffered on this march for lack of
food, and the men endeavored to appease their hunger with acorns.
We camped near here doing picket duty until Novemher 27,
when Meade crossed the river at Germanna Ford. We marched
down the river to meet him.
Our division brought up the rear of the army, and late in the day
formed line of battle and had some skirmishing with the enemy, sus
taining some loss.
General Lee took position on the hills above Mine Run and awaited
attack. There was considerable skirmishing during the next day or
two, but no battle occurred. On the night of December 1, the enemy
recrossed the river and our brigade returned to Moreton's Ford and
continued to do picket duty there until December 20, when we
marched to a point a few miles below Orange Court House, and built
winter quarters, which we occupied in quiet until February 6, 1864.
On that day the Union forces crossed the Rapidan at Moreton's Ford
and we moved down and took position about a mile from the river in
front of this ford. There was some fighting during the afternoon, but
we were not engaged, and during the night the enemy retreated
across the river.
We then returned to our winter quarters, and continued to do our
share of picket duty on the river until the opening of the campaign;
of the Wilderness in May.

14 Doles-Cook Brigade.
BATTLES OF THE WILDERNESS AND
SPOTTSYLVANIA.
On the 4th of May, 1864, Grant's army crossed the Rapidan at
<Germanna Ford, and on the same day about noon Ewell's Corps of the
Army of Northern Virginia moved from its camps on the Rapidan,
•some twelve miles from Germanna Ford, toward Locus Grove, on the
old turnpike from Orange Court House to Fredericksburg. Rodes'
Division bivouacked about two miles south of Locus Grove. The next
•day, May 5, the enemy made a demonstration against Jones' Brigade,
«,nd Battle's Brigade of Rodes' Division was ordered to support it, with
Doles on Battle's right. These troops had orders not to bring on an
¦engagement, but if pressed to fall back slowly. Some artillery was
withdrawn from Jones' front near the pike. Not long after this the
enemy fell suddenly upon Jones' right flank and front, and drove it
back on Battles Brigade, which became disordered, Daniel's Brigade
of Rodes' Division, and Gordon's of Early's soon regained the lost
/ground. The latter captured several hundred prisoners, and relieved
Doles who, though hard pressed, had held his ground. The 6th was
•occupied by partial assaults on our line. There was no fighting on the
7th, except when we joined General Hill's left. Our lines were ex
tended to the right that night. The fighting at the Wilderness lasted
three days, May 5, 6, and 7, and was most terrific. On the 8th
•we marched to Spottsylvania, and reached there about five p.m.
On the 9th, our lines were defined and intrenched. There were two
.Salients on our line — General Doles' Brigade occupied one on the
right of the division, the other being at Johnson's center. On the 10th,
about 4 p.m., Doles' skirmishers were driven in, and while preparing
to drive the enemy back, Doles' line was attacked and broken, and
he lost three hundred prisoners. Battle's Brigade and Gordon's
Division were rapidly brought to our relief, and Battle's Brigade
was thrown across the head of the enemy's column, while R.
D. Johnston's Brigade, with the remnants of Doles' and the
iright of Daniel's Brigade, struck them on one flank and the
Stonewall (Walker's) Brigade on the other. The enemy was driven
from our works in a short time, leaving one hundred dead within
them and a large number in front. Our loss was about six hundred
and fifty, three hundred and fifty of the number being prisoners. It
rained all day Wednesday, May 11, and no fighting took place in
-our immediate front. On the 12th of May, the enemy attacked

Brigade History. 15
-General Edward Johnson's Division with an overwhelming force at
dawn and broke through his lines and drove his troops back in great
-confusion. His main effort was evidently against Rodes' position to
the left of the angle, and here the fighting was of the most desperate
character. General Edward Johnson and the most of his division
were captured, and he estimated the force of the enemy at this point
on our line at forty thousand, and ours at less than ten thousand. The
fighting lasted all day long and until after midnight, and when it
ceased our forces were in possession of two-thirds of the works first
taken from us. General Lee's chief engineer laid out a new line
during the day some eight hundred yards in rear of the first, and it
was constructed at night. After midnight our forces were quietly
withdrawn to it.
There was no other attack on the Confederates from the 12th until
the 18th, when a strong force under Hancock and Wright advanced
•past the McCool house on our new line. General Long opened fire
upon them with thirty pieces of artillery which broke and drove them
back with severe loss and in great confusion.
On the 19th, General Ewell was directed to demonstrate against
the enemy in his front. He determined to move to their right, as they
were strongly intrenched. After marching several miles he came on
the enemy, when they attacked him. He held his ground until after
night-fall, when he retired, having developed the enemy's position and
^accomplished his object. This ended the battles of Spottsylvania.
General Ewell estimated that the enemy's losses at Spottsylvania ex
ceeded ours in the proportion of at least six to one, taking all the
engagements together. On the 20th of May we moved to the North
Anna. Grant, after spending two days in trying to find a weak place
in our lines, and after considerable skirmishing, concluded not to at
tack.

BATTLE OF COLD HARBOR.
Grant moved his forces on the night of the 26th, again, and attempt
ed to flank Lee's army, but failed, as usual. The two armies confront
ed each other along the Totopotomy on the 28th, but he again con
cluded that Lee's position was too strong for him to attack, and
-another flank movement toward Richmond was tried.
On the 2d of June, Rodes' Division moved forward along the road
from Hundley's corner toward Old Church, and drove the enemy

16 Doles-Cook Brigade.
from his intrenchments, and forced back his left toward Bethesda.
Church. In this movement there was some heavy fighting and sev
eral hundred prisoners were taken. Brigadier-General George Doles
was killed in this engagement. Grant moved to Cold Harbor, and at
half past four o'clock a.m., on the morning of the 3d, attacked Lee.
The attack was gallantly made, and as gallantly repulsed, with fearful
loss on the enemy's side. In less than half an hour after the en
gagement began he had lost ten thousand men, while our loss did not
exceed one thousand two hundred. Grant gave orders later in the
day for a renewal of the attack, but every officer and man in his army
refused to obey orders.
Grant's whole force, including reinforcements from May 5 to June
3, 1864, numbered 153,926, and he lost in killed 7,406; wounded,
37,246 ; captured and missing 8,118, making his total loss amount to
52,788 for the period named.
Lee's whole force for the same period, including reinforcements,
was 78,400, while his total loss in killed, wounded, captured and miss
ing did not exceed 20,000. In addition to Grant's loss as stated
above, he lost over 2,000 in two cavalry expeditions.
Grant's whole campaign, from the time he crossed the Rapidan and
attacked Lee on the 5th of May until it ended with the battle of Cold
Harbor, had been a complete failure. He had not gained a single vic
tory, although his forces were vastly superior to those of General Lee.

EARLY'S VALLEY CAMPAIGN.
While the Second Corps (E well's) of the Army of Northern Virginia
(now under command of General Jubal A. Early) was lying near
Gaines' Mill, it received orders to be in readiness to move to the
Shenandoah Valley. General Early selected Nelson's and Braxton's-
batteries, and Brigadier-General Long as chief of artillery to ac
company him.
At dark on the same day he received written instructions to move-
with the above named force, at three o'clock next morning, for the val
ley, by way of Louisa Court House and Charlottsville, and through
Brown's or Swift's Run Gap in the Blue Ridge, as he might find most
advisable, and to destroy Hunter's force if possible by striking it in the
rear, then move down the valley and cross the Potomac near Lees-
burg or Harper's Ferry (leaving the point at which he crossed discre-

Brigade History. 17
tionary with him) , and then threaten Washington City. He was also
directed to communicate with General Breckinridge, who was to co
operate with him in the attack on Hunter, and also in his march into
Maryland. The Second Corps had been actively engaged in the field for
forty days, suffering all the hardships and disadvantages and encoun
tering all the dangers on the march, and in the fights from the Wilder
ness to Cold Harbor, and now numbered a little over eight thousand
muskets for duty. At Spottsylvania it had lost nearly an entire divi
sion, including its commander, General Edward Johnson, and the losses
in the other commands were very heavy. General McCausland's Bri
gade of cavalry had delayed Hunter's advance from Staunton. Our
troops reached Lynchburg on the evening of the 18th, and arrange
ments were made for an attack on Hunter the 19th, at daylight, but
when we moved in line of battle it was discovered that Hunter had
left. His rear was overtaken at Liberty, twenty-five miles from
Lynchburg, just before night, and driven through that place. The
pursuit was resumed early on the morning of the 20th, and when we
reached Buford's the enemy's rear guard was seen going into the
mountains toward Salem. Rodes led the advance on the morning of
the 21st, and on arriving at Big Lick it was learned that the
on emy had turned off from Salem toward Lynchburg, with the inten
tion of crossing the mountain at Hanging Rock. Our troops imme
diately took the same route, but when we arrived there we learned
that his rear guard had passed through the gorge. McCausland had
•struck the enemy at this point, and captured ten pieces of artillery,
some wagons, and a number of prisoners. We did not continue the
pursuit, as nothing was to be gained by such a course. We had marched
sixty miles in three days, and the troops from the Army of Northern
Virginia had had no rest since leaving Gaines' Mill.
We rested on the 22d, so as to allow the wagons and artillery to
get up, and the men to prepare for the long march that they were to
make. Our march was resumed on the 23d, and that night we reached
Buchanan. On the 27th, we reached Staunton, and the day was spent
in reducing transportation and procuring provisions from Waynesboro,
where they had been ordered. The march was continued on the 28th,
with five days' rations in the wagons and two days' in our haversacks.
The empty wagons were left to bring shoes to our army when they
arrived. 2de

18 Doles-Cook Brigade.
On the 2d of July we reached Winchester, where General Early-
received a telegram from General Lee directing him to remain in the-
lower valley, destroy the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the Chesa
peake and Ohio canal as far as possible, and then cross the Potomac.
General Early in his book says of Hunter's operations and
conduct in the valley :
" The scenes on Hunter's route from Lynchburg had been truly-
heartrending. Houses had been burned, and helpless women and
children left without shelter. The country had been stripped of pro
visions and many families left without a morsel to eat. Furniture-
and bedding had been cut to pieces, and old men and women and
children robbed of all the clothing they had except that on their
backs. Ladies' trunks had been rifled and their dresses torn to pieces
in mere wantonness. Even the negro girls had lost their little finery..
We now had renewed evidences of the outrages committed by Hun
ter's orders in burning and plundering private houses. We saw the-
ruins of a number of houses to which the torch had been applied by
his orders. At Lexington he had burned the Military Institute, with
all its contents, including its library and scientific apparatus ; and
Washington College had been plundered and the statue of Washing
ton stolen. The residence of Ex-Governor Letcher at that time had
been burned by orders, and but a few minutes given Mrs. Letcher
and her family to leave the house. In the same county a most excel
lent Christian gentleman, a Mr. Creigh, had been hung, because on a
former occasion he had killed a straggling and marauding Federal
soldier while in the act of insulting and outraging the ladies of his-
family. These are but some of the outrages committed by Hunter
or his orders, and I will not insult the memory of the ancient barba
rians of the North by calling them ' acts of vandalism.' If those old
barbarians were savage and cruel, they at least had the manliness
and daring of rude soldiers, with occasional traits of magnanimity.
Hunter's deeds were those of a malignant and cowardly fanatic, who-
was better qualified to make war upon helpless women and children
than upon armed soldiers. The time consumed in the perpetration of
those deeds was the salvation of Lynchburg, with its stores, foun
dries and factories, which were bo necessary to our army at Richmond.'^
Rodes moved through Rohersville, on the 7th, on the road to
Crampton's Gap in South Mountain, and had some skirmishing with
a small force of the enemy. When we reached Monocacy we found
the Federal army under General Lew Wallace strongly posted be-

Brigade History, 19
hind breastworks and two blockhouses on the eastern bank of the
Monocacy near the Junction. A division was deployed and drove
his skirmishers across the river. A sharp artillery duel then occurred.
Troops were thrown across the river and attacked the enemy's left,
as his position was too strong to attack in front. The enemy was
thrown into great confusion and forced from his position. Ramseur
at this period crossed the railroad bridge and pursued the enemy's
flying force, and Rodes crossed on the left and joined in the pursuit.
Wallace's entire force fled on the road towards Baltimore, and our
troops did not continue the pursuit long, as they did not wish to be
encumbered with prisoners.
The enemy's force numbered nearly ten thousand, and their loss in
killed and wounded was very heavy, and ours about seven hundred.
We captured between six hundred and seven hundred prisoners.
While at Monocacy, a contribution of two hundred thousand dollars
in money was levied on the city of Frederick, and some needed sup
plies were obtained.
When our army reached the fortifications near Washington City on
the 11th of July, Rodes, whose division was in front, was immediately
ordered to bring it into line as rapidly as possible, throw out skir
mishers, and occupy the works if possible. Our whole force was
moving by flank, and before Rodes' Division could be brought up, a
cloud of dust was seen in rear of the works toward Washington, and
then a column of the enemy filed into them, and skirmishers in our
front, and artillery opened on us from several batteries. This barred
the possibility of our taking the works by surprise, and it became
necessary for us to reconnoitre. Rodes threw out skirmishers and
drove those of the enemy to the cover of the works, and endeavored
to ascertain if it were possible to carry the works by assault. They
were found to be very strong, every appliance of science and unlim
ited means had rendered them practically impregnable. McCausland
reported that the works on the Georgetown pike were too strongly
manned for him to assault. After a thorough reconnoissance which
consumed the entire day, it was decided, after learning that large re
inforcements had arrived from Grant's army, to abandon the project
of capturing Washington. We remained in front of Washington
during the 12th and retreated at night without molestation. Passing
through Rockville and Poolsville we crossed the Potomac at White's
Ford, above Leesburg, on the morning of the 14th, bringing off the
prisoners captured at Monocacy and everything else in safety. Be-

sides the money collected at Hagerstown and Frederick, we brought
off quite a large number of cattle, and the cavalry obtained a number
of horses, and the artillery procured some. We rested on the 14th
and 15th near Leesburg, and resumed our march up the valley on
the 16th. Nothing of importance occurred until the 17th, when we
had some skirmishing on the Shenandoah, near Snickers' Gap. In
the afternoon the enemy's infantry crossed over the river below Par
ker's Ford, and our picket line was driven back. Rodes' Division
attacked them on the left and drove them across the river, inflicting
heavy loss, and causing much confusion. On the 18th the enemy
moved through Snickers' Gap, and there was some skirmishing when
they appeared on the banks of the Shenandoah. A heavy column of
the enemy's infantry made a dash at Parker's Ford, one mile below
the ferry, in the afternoon, and crossed over and drove back our
picket of one hundred men. Gordon's and Echols' Divisions were
moved to the front and held the enemy in check, and Rodes' Division
was brought up from the left, and drove him across the river, with
heavy loss and in much confusion. On the 19th the enemy's main
body still occupied the eastern bank of the Shenandoah, while small
bodies were moving up and down the river in order to effect a cross
ing. It was reported that Averill was moving toward Winchester
from Martinsburg. General Early determined to attack the enemy,
after moving his trains to the rear to prevent capture. Ramseur's
Division was sent to Winchester, the other divisions moved through
Millwood and White Post to the valley at Newtown and Middletown.
On the 20th, while General Ramseur was moving from Winchester
to Stephenson's depot, to attempt the capture of a small body of the
enemy, he was attacked by a large force under Averill, and his com
mand was thrown into confusion and had to retire, with the loss of
four pieces of artillery and a number killed and wounded. Colonel
Jackson made a vigorous charge on the enemy with his cavalry, which
arrested the progress of Averill, and enabled Ramseur to rally his
men and restore order. General Early, as soon as informed of Ram
seur's misfortune, moved with Rodes' Division to his assistance, but
when he reached Winchester, found that Averill had fallen back a
short distance after being checked. General Early did not follow
Averill, but moved the whole command to Newtown. Our whole
force of infantry was concentrated near Middletown on the 21st, and on
the 22d we moved across Cedar Creek towards Strasburg, and our
troops were posted so as to cover all the roads from the direction of

Brigade History. 21
Winchester. We rested on the 23d, but General Early learned dur
ing the day that Crook and Averill had united and were at Kerns-
town, and he determined to attack at once, and marched against them
early on the 24th, and gave battle. Their force consisted of the army
of West Virginia, including Hunter's and Seigle's forces, and Av-
erill's cavalry. They occupied the same position that Shields did iD
the fight with Jackson March 23, 1862. Their left flank was exposed,
extending through Kernstown. General Breckinridge attacked
them, and their whole line was thrown into great confusion. The
other divisions then advanced, and the rout of the enemy became
complete. Rodes' Division pursued them to Stephenson's depot, six
miles from Winchester, but the failure of our cavalry to participate
in the pursuit allowed them to escape with their artillery and most of
their wagons. Our loss was very slight. The enemy's was severe in
killed and wounded. Colonel Mulligan, commanding a division, was
mortally wounded. Our infantry was so worn out that they were un
able to pursue them on the 25th, and only moved as far as Bunker
Hill, some twelve miles from Winchester. The cavalry pursued them,
however, and after skirmishing with them at Martinsburg, they re
treated from that place, and their whole force crossed the Potomac
and sought refuge on Maryland Heights and at Harper's Ferry. The
road from Winchester to Williamsburg was strewn with debris of
their hurried retreat — twelve caissons and seventy-two wagons were
abandoned, and most of them burned. The 26th, 27th and 28th, we
devoted our time to marching and destroying the railroads which had
been repaired since the beginning of the month. McCausland was
sent to Chambersburg on this trip, and ordered to levy a contribution
of one hundred thousand dollars in retaliation for the burning of
houses and towns in Virginia and other Southern States, and in de
fault of payment the town was to be destroyed. He made a demand
in writing, which the municipal authorities refused. McCausland
then proceeded to carry out his orders, and the town was burned.
Early moved back to Martinsburg on the 30th, and to Bunker Hill
on the 31st, where we remained on the 1st, 2d and 3d of August. We^
moved to the Potomac on the 4th, and on the 5th Rodes' and Ram
seur's Divisions crossed at Williamsport and took position near St.
James' College. Vaughn's Cavalry went into Hagerstown. Breckin

skirmishing with Jackson's Cavalry, Gordon's sharpshooters drove
them back. Our whole force recrossed the Potomac at Williamsport
and moved to Martinsburg on the 6th, and to Bunker Hill on the 7th.
McCausland was pursued from Chambersburg by Averill, who on Au
gust 7, surprised Johnson's Brigade of Cavalry in camp at Moorfield,
in Hardy County, and routed it. This defeat caused McCausland to
be routed also, and they lost four pieces of artillery and about three
hundred prisoners from the whole command. The balance of the
command retreated to Mount Jackson in great disorder. It was re
ported to General Early on the 9th that a large force of the enemy
had concentrated at Harper's Ferry under command of General Sher
idan from Grant's army. We moved to Bunker .Hill on the 10th.
The enemy moved to our right on the 11th, and Ramsuer engaged a
portion of their cavalry in a sharp skirmish and repulsed them. We
moved to Hupp's Hill on the 12th, and on learning that the enemy
was advancing in heavy force we took position at Fisher's Hill and
awaited attack. Sheridan appeared on the banks of Cedar Creek the
same day, when there was some skirmishing. The enemy fell back on
the 17th and we took position so as to cover Winchester on the 18th,
where we were joined by General Anderson with Kershaw's Division,
and learned that Torbert's and Wilson's Division had united with
Sheridan. Anderson remained near Winchester on the 19th and our
main force moved to Bunker Hill. General Early states that "on
the 20th (August) our cavalry had some skirmishing with the enemy's
on the Opequon, and on the 21st, by consent, there was a general
movement towards Harper's Ferry. My ; command moved through
Smithfield towards Charlestown, and Anderson's on the direct road by
Summit Point. A body of the enemy's cavalry was driven from the
Opequon, and was pursued by part of our cavalry towards Summit
Point. I encountered Sheridan's main force near Cameron's depot,
about three miles from Charlestown, in a position which he com
menced fortifying at once. Rodes' and Ramseur's Divisions were
advanced to the front, and very heavy skirmishing ensued and was
continued until night, but I waited for General Anderson to arrive
before making a general attack. He encountered Wilson's Division
of Cavalry at Summit Point, and, after driving it off, went into camp
at that place. At light next morning it was discovered that the
enemy had retired during the night, and his rear guard was driven
through Charlestown towards Halltown, where Sheridan had taken a
strong position under the protection of the heavy guns on Maryland

Heights." There was some skirmishing on the 22d, 23d and 24th.
A large force of the enemy's cavalry was encountered on the 25th
'between Leetown and Kerneysville, and after a sharp engagement
•driven across the Potomac. We then moved to Shepherdstown, and on
the 26th to Leetown, We moved to Bunker Hill on the 27th. Our
•cavalry had a spirited engagement with the enemy on the 28th at
•Smithfield. Our pickets were driven in on the 29th near Smithfield,
•our infantry then drove them back across the Opequon. There were
-some demonstrations on the Opequon by the enemy's cavalry on the
30th and 31st. Rodes' Division moved to Martinsburg on the 31st,
¦and drove a force of the enemy's cavalry from that place who were
^preparing to repair the railroad.
Nothing of importance occurred on the 1st of September, but three
¦divisions of infantry and part of McCausland's Cavalry moved to
wards Summit Point, while Rodes' Division protected the trains
¦which moved to Stephenson's depot. Vaughn's and Johnson's Cavalry
•were attacked and driven back in some confusion while moving
towards Summit Point on the 2d, but Rodes returned towards Bunker
Hill and drove Averill back. Rodes moved to Bunker Hill in sup
port of Lomax, and drove the enemy's cavalry out of and beyond
that place. Nothing of interest occurred from the 3d until the morn
ing of the 19th of September, when the battle of Winchester was
(fought.

BATTLE OF WINCHESTER.
After Sheridan learned that General Early's force had been reduced
iby sending a portion of his army to General Lee, he determined to at
tack the small Confederate force of 13,000 with his army of 43,000 men.
Accordingly, on the 19th of September, 1864, he advanced on Early's
troops near Winchester early in the morning.
About ten thousand of Sheridan's force was cavalry, and the cavalry
of Early amounted to about three thousand men. When the attack
was made Ramseur's Divisipn of infantry, which did not exceed one
thousand and seven hundred, was about one and one half miles from
Winchester on an elevated position between Abraham's Creek and
Red Bud Run. There was also present Nelson's Artillery, Lomax's and
Jackson's Cavalry and a part of Johnston's on the right, Fitz Lee's
Cavalry on the left, and a battery of horse artillery, also a detachment
-of Johnson's Cavalry. These troops held the enemy's main force in.

check until Gordon's and Rodes' Divisions came up, which were at
Stephenson's depot when the battle commenced. Gordon's Division
arrived first, and was placed in a piece of woods between Ramseur's-
line and the Red Bud. Gordon was instructed to examine the ground
on the left with a view of attacking the enemy's force in his front which
had taken position in a piece of woods. While so engaged, Rodes
arrived with three of his brigades, and was ordered to form on Gor
don's right in rear of another piece of woods. While this movement
was being executed a heavy column of the enemy had been massed
between the Red Bud and the Berryville road, and were moving to-
attack Ramseur on his left flank, while another force was pressing
him in front. At this period Rodes' and Gordon's Divisions were
hurled upon the flank of the advancing column. They advanced
gallantly through the woods into the open ground and attacked vig
orously, while Nelson's Artillery on the right and Braxton's on the
left opened a destructive and galling fire upon the enemy's advancing
columns, but they continued to advance until they reached the very
rear of the woods, within musket range of seven pieces of Braxton's
Artillery, which was unsupported. Our advance was forced to halt
for a moment, and our position was most critical, for it was evident
that the day was lost unless this force was driven back. Braxton's
guns stood their ground, and Colonel Carter opened with canister on
the enemy. They then staggered, halted, and commenced falling
back under this rapid and well-directed fire. Battle's Brigade of
Rodes' Division, which had just arrived and was formed in line for
the purpose of supporting the rest of the division, swept through the
woods, driving the enemy before it, and General Clement A. Evans'
Brigade joined in the charge. Our advance, which had been tempo
rarily suspended, was then resumed, and the enemy's attacking column
was thrown into the wildest confusion and driven from the field. This
occured about eleven a.m., when we had gained a splendid victory over
overwhelming numbers. The enemy's dead and wounded were
strewn in our front, and some prisoners had been captured.
General Early says: "Major-General Rodes had been killed in the
very moment of triumph, while conducting the attack of his division
with great gallantry and skill, and this was a heavy blow to me. In
his death I had to regret the loss not only of a most accomplished,
skillful, and gallant officer, upon whom I placed great reliance, but
also a personal friend, whose counsels had been of great service to me
in the trying circumstances with which I found myself surrounded.

Brigade History. 25-
He fell at his post, doing a soldier's and patriot's duty to his country,
and his memory will long be cherished by his comrades."
One of Sheridan's Corps had not been engaged up to this time, and,
there remained his large force of cavalry. Wharton's Division and.
King's Artillery had not arrived, and Imboden's Cavalry, under Colo
nel Smith, and McCausland's under Colonel Ferguson, were engaged
in watching the enemy's cavalry. Our lines were now formed across-
from Abraham's Creek to Red Bud. At the junction of the Front
Royal and Millwood roads, which overlapped us about one mile, the
country was open between this force and the Valley Pike and Cedar-
Creek Pike, and the enemy was in formidable force in our front.
Late in the afternoon Crook's Corps, which had not been engaged,
drove in the small force posted on the Martinsburg road, and at the
same time advanced on that flank, on the north side of Red Bud, and
before this overwhelming force Patton's Brigade of Infantry and
Payne's Brigade of Cavalry under Fitz Lee were compelled to fall
back. A large force of the enemy's cavalry swept along the Martins
burg road to Winchester in our rear. Two brigades of Wharton's
Division moved in double quick to our left and rear, and with the aid
of King's Artillery and some of Braxton's guns succeeded in driving
them back. Breckinridge then threw Wharton's Division into line in
rear of our left at right angles to the Martinsburg road, and handsomely
repulsed another charge of the enemy's cavalry. Many of our men on-
the front line, when they heard this firing in the rear, supposing they
were flanked and cut off, commenced falling back, thus creating
great confusion. Our whole front line then gave way, but a large
portion of the men were rallied and formed behind breast-works just
outside of Winchester, which had been made during the first year of
the war, and with the aid of artillery the progress of the enemy's in
fantry was arrested. It was then reported that the enemy had turned
our left flank, and our troops were ordered to retire, but immediately
afterward it was discovered that the supposed force of the enemy was
Ramseur's Division, which had moved back to be in line with our
troops. They had orders before they had gone more than twenty paces
to return to the works. This order was not fully complied with, and
we were forced to retire, as the enemy's cavalry force was too large for
us and had the advantage of open ground, which enabled them to get
around our left. The battle lasted from daylight until dark, and at
its close our army had been forced back two miles, after repelling the
enemy's first attack with feariul slaughter, and afterward contested-

with obstinacy every inch of ground. Considering the immense differ-
¦ence in numbers and equipment Sheridan had but little to boast of.
We lost a few pieces of artillery and some valuable officers and men.
The main part of our army and all of our wagons were saved, and the
¦enemy's loss in killed and wounded was much greater than ours. Our
troops moved to Fisher's Hill without annoyance from the enemy
-on the 20th. General Ramseur was placed in command of the Rodes'
Division, and General Pegram was given the command of Ramseur's
•old division. In the afternoon Sheridan's forces moved to Cedar
Creek, near Fisher's Hill, and on the 21st and 22d he reconnoitered
•and advanced his forces to our front under cover of breastworks. He
secured a strong position, which he commenced to fortify. It was then
-discovered that another attack was contemplated, when orders were
given for our troops to retire, after dark, as our force was not strong
•enough to resist a determined assault. After sunset Crook's Corps
•moved to our left and forced Lomax's dismounted cavalry to fall back,
and advanced against Ramseu/s left. Ramseur attempted to meet
this movement by throwing his brigades successively into line to the
left, and Wharton's Division, which was on the right, was sent for but
•did not arrive. Pegram's Brigade was also thrown into line in the
same manner as Ramseur's. This movement produced some disorder
in both divisions, and this wa3 observed by the enemy, and his whole
dine was advanced.
After a short contest our whole force retired in considerable con
fusion. Our entire force fell back through Woodstock to Narrow
Passage, and the enemy did not make a vigorous pursuit. All the
trains were moved off in safety.
Our loss in killed and wounded was slight, but some prisoners were
¦oaptured by the enemy while attempting to make their way across the
North Fork of the Massanutten mountain. On the morning of the
23d we moved back to Mount Jackson, and halted in order to move
'the sick and wounded and hospital stores from that place. Averill's
Division of Cavalry was driven back in the afternoon after some
heavy skirmishing. We then moved to Rudes' Hill. On the morn
ing of the 24th a body of the enemy's cavalry crossed the North Fork
helow Mount Jackson and attempted to get around our right flank.
We retired in line of battle through New Market to a point where
the road to Port Republic leaves the Valley Pike, nine miles from
Rudes' Hill. In this retreat the conduct of our troops was admirable
iand perfect order was preserved, notwithstanding their diminished

numbers, and the fact that the enemy was pursuing in full force, and
would dash up with horse -artillery under the support of cavalry, and
open on our retiring lines. At the last halt, at a placed called Tenth
Legion', near where the Port Republic road leaves the Pike, a little
before sunset, in order to enable our trains to reach Port Republic,
a stand was made, and skirmishers thrown out, and artillery opened
on the advancing enemy. After some skirmishing the enemy went in
to camp, in sight, but out of reach of our guns. At dark we retreated
five miles on the Port Republic road, and then went into camp. On
the morning of the 25th, we moved toward Port Republic in order
to unite with Kershaw's Division, which had been ordered to join our
oommand from Culpepper Court House. Having ascertained that the
enemy's infantry were at Harrisonburg, we moved out on the morn
ing of the 27th and drove a division of his cavalry from Port Republic,
and then went into camp in the fork of the rivers. It was here learned
that two divisions of cavalry under Torbet had been sent through
Staunton to Waynesboro, and were engaged in the destruction of the
railroad bridge at that place, and the tunnel through the Blue Ridge
at Rock Fish Gap. We moved on those points, and on the 28th, 29th
and 30th repaired the bridge at Waynesboro, which had been partially
destroyed. Our whole force moved to Mount Sidney on the 1st of October, and
took position between that place and North river, the enemy having
concentrated around Harrisonburg. We remained in this position
until the 6th, awaiting the arrival of Rosser's Brigade of Cavalry from
General Lee's Army. It was now discovered that the enemy was
retiring, and we moved at once to New Market with our infantry on
the 7th of August. Rosser established his line of pickets across the
valley from Columbia Furnace to Edinburg, and on the 11th Lomax
was sent to Millford in the Luray valley to take position. Having
heard that Sheridan was preparing to send part of his troops to Grant,
we moveddown the valley on the 12th. On the morning of the
13th we reached Fisher's Hill, and part of our command moved to
Hupp's Hill. While there a division of the enemy's infantry moved
to his left and stacked arms. A battery of our artillery was run out
and opened on it, causing it to scatter in great confusion. The en
emy then displayed a large force, and a division was sent across
the creek to capture the guns, when one of Kershaw's Brigades drove
them back in confusion, and with severe loss. Some prisoners were
captured, and Colonel Wells, commanding the division, was mortally

wounded and fell into our hands. Having accomplished the object
of our reconnoissance we moved back to Fisher's Hill. We learned
that the Sixth Corps had started for Grant's Army, but was brought
back after this affair. We remained at Fisher's Hill until the 16th,
observing the enemy, with the hope that he would move out of his-
strong position, where we could attack him in a different posi
tion, but he refused to move. On the 16th Rosser captured a
strong picket post of the enemy's cavalry. General Gordon went
with a brigade of his division on the 17th to ascertain if the position
of the enemy was fortified, and reported that it was, on his return.

BATTLE OF CEDAR CREEK.
The want of provisions and forage for his army rendered it absolutely
necessary for General Early to move back or attack the enemy. He
selected the latter alternative. General Gordon and Captain Hotch-
kiss were sent to our signal station to find out if it were practicable
to surprise the enemy on the right flank, and if troops could be
moved between the base of the mountain and the river. Their report
being favorable, General Early decided to attack and gave orders to
his division commanders to have everything in readiness to move on
the night of the 18th. The three divisions, Gordon's, Ramseur's and
Pegram's, were to move under the command of General Gordon to
the enemy's rear, by moving between the base of the mountain and
the river. Swords and canteens were directed to be left in
camp so as to make as little noise as possible. They were directed
to make the attack at five o'clock in the morning. Kershaw's and
Wharton's Divisions were ordered to move at one o'clock in the morn
ing under the personal superintendence of General Early, towards
Strasburg. Division commanders were reminded of the importance
of being prompt and energetic in all their movements and were or
dered to press the enemy with vigor, and to continue the pursuit
until the enemy's forces were completely routed. Gordon moved
promptly and so did the other infantry commands. The cavalry
were posted on the flanks and were prompt in obeying orders. The
artillery followed Kershaw's and Wharton's Divisions and did effect-
tive service. The attack was promptly made as ordered, and the en
emy routed, and many pieces of artillery and small arms captured.
Our victory was complete in the morning, but in the afternoon re-

verses overtook our army and we were compelled to retreat in confu
sion. General Early says: "My loss in the. battle of Cedar Creek
was twenty-three pieces of artillery, some ordnance and medical wag
ons and ambulances, which had been carried to the front for the use
of the troops on the field; about 1860 in killed and wounded, and
something over 1,000 prisoners. Major-General Ramseur fell
into the hands of the enemy mortally wounded, and in him not only
my command, but the country, sustained a heavy loss. He was a
most gallant and energetic officer whom no disaster appalled, but his
courage and energy seemed to gain new strength in the midst of con
fusion and disorder. He fell at his post fighting like a lion at bay,
and his native State has reason to be proud of his memory. Briga
dier-General Battle was wounded at the beginning of the fight, and
other valuable officers were lost. Fifteen hundred prisoners were
captured from the enemy and brought off, and his loss in killed and
wounded in this action was very heavy. This was the case of a glo
rious victory given up by my own troops after they had won it, and
it is to be accounted for on the ground of the partial demoralization
•caused by the plunder of the enemy's camps, and from the fact that
the men undertook to judge for themselves when it was proper to re
tire. Had they but waited, the mischief on the left would have been
remedied. I have never been able to satisfy myself that the enemy's
attack in the afternoon was not a demonstration to cover his retreat
during the night. It certainly was not a vigorous one, as is shown by
the fact that the very small force with Ramseur and Goggin held him
in check so long and the loss in killed and wounded in the division
which first gave way, was not heavy, and was the least in numbers
of all but one, though it was the third in strength, and its relative
loss was the least of all the divisions. I read a sharp lecture to my
troops, in an address published to them a few days after the battle,
but I have never attributed the result to want of courage on their
part, for I had seen them perform too many prodigies of valor to
doubt that. There was an individuality about the Confederate soldier
which caused him to act often in battle according to his own opinions
and thereby impair his own efficiency; and the tempting bait of
fered by the rich plunder of the camps of the enemy's well-fed and
well-clothed troops was frequently too great for our destitute soldiers
and caused them to pause in the career of victory.
"Had my cavalry been sufficient to contend with that of the enemy,
the rout in the morning would have been complete ; as it was, I had

only about twelve hundred cavalry on the field under Rosser, and
Lomax's force, which numbered less than 1,700, did not'get up. My
infantry and artillery was about the same strength as at Winchester.
The reports of the ordnance officers showed in the hands of my troops
about 8,800 muskets, in round numbers as follows: In Kershaw's Di
vision 2,700; Ramseur's, 2,100; Gordon's, 1,700; Pegram's, 1,200, and
Wharton's, 1,100. Making a moderate allowance for the men left to
guard the camps and the signal station on the mountain, as well as
for a few sick and wounded, I went into this battle with about 8,500
muskets and a little over forty pieces of artillery. The book con
taining the reports of the chief surgeon of Sheridan's Cavalry Corps,
which has been mentioned as captured at this battle, showed that
Sheridan's Cavalry numbered about 8,700 men for duty a few days
previous, and from information which I had received of reinforce
ments sent him, in the way of recruits and returned convalescents, I
am satisfied that his infantry force was fully as large as at Winches
ter. Sheridan was absent in the morning at the beginning of the
fight, and had returned in the afternoon before the change in the fort
unes of the day. Nevertheless, I saw no reason to change the esti
mate I had formed of him. It may be asked, why, with my small
force, I made the attack ? I can only say we had been fighting large
odds during the whole war, and I knew there was no chance of lessen
ing them. It was of the utmost consequence that Sheridan should be
prevented from sending troops to Grant, and General Lee, in a letter
received a day or two before, had expressed an earnest desire that a
victory should be gained in the valley if possible, and it could not be
gained without fighting for it. I did hope to gain one by surprising
the enemy in his camps, and then thought, and still think, I would
have had it, if my directions had been strictly complied with and my
troops had awaited my orders to retire." After the battle of Cedar
Creek we remained in camp without being disturbed until the 26th
of October, when General Lomax was attacked at Milford, where he
repulsed the enemy's cavalry, after a sharp engagement. We moved
down the valley on the 10th of November, when it was learned that
Sheridan was preparing to send troops to Grant, and repairing the
Manassas Gap railroad. When we approached Cedar Creek on the
11th the enemy had fallen back towards Winchester from their forti
fied position at Hupp's Hill. Colonel Payne drove a small body of the
enemy's cavalry through Middletown to Newtown, and our main
force then followed and took position at the latter place. It then was

discovered that Sheridan's main force had selected a position north of
Newtown and was engaged ' in fortifying it. We remained in his-
front on the 11th and 12th. Rosser, who was on our left flank, had
some skirmishing with the enemy's cavalry on the 11th and two di
visions advanced against him on the 12th, and after a heavy fight the
enemy was repulsed and lost some prisoners. On the same day Mc
Causland was attacked at Cedarville by Powell's Division of Cavalry,.
and after severe fighting was driven back across the river, with the
loss of two pieces of artillery. As the enemy did not seem inclined
to leave his intrencfhed position, and we were unwilling to attack him-
there, we moved back to Fisher's Hill after dark on the 12th, so that
we might be nearer our base of supplies. We marched in the direc
tion of New Market on the 14th and were not pursued. After our
return to New Market, Kershaw's Division was returned to General
Lee, and Cosby's Cavalry to Breckinridge. Two divisions of the
enemy's cavalry moved to Mount Jackson on the 22d of November,
and drove in our pickets. A portion of our infantry then drove tile-
enemy's cavalry back, and they were pursued by Wickham's Brigade
of Cavalry to Woodstock.
General Early, in writing of the close of his valley campaign, says :.
" On the 27th Rosser crossed Great North Mountain into Hardy
county, with his own and Payne's Brigade, and about the 29th sur
prised and captured the fortified post at New Creek, on the Baltimore^
and Ohio railroad. At this place two regiments of cavalry with
their arms and colors were captured, and eight pieces of artillery and
a very large amount of ordnance, quartermaster and commissary
stores fell into our hands. The prisoners, numbering eight hundred,
four pieces of artillery, and some wagons and horses were brought off,.
the other guns, which were heavy siege pieces, being spiked, and
their carriages and a greater part of the stores destroyed. Rosser also-
brought off several hundred cattle and a large number of sheep from
Hampshire and Hardy counties.
"This expedition closed the material operations of the campaign of"
1864 in the Shenandoah Valley. At that time the enemy held pre
cisely the same portion of the valley which he held before the opening
of the campaign in the spring, and no more, and the headquarters of
his troops were at the same place, to wit : Winchester. There was
this difference, however : At the beginning of the campaign he held it
with comparatively a small force, and at the close he was compelled.
to employ three corps of infantry and one of cavalry for that purpose,.

and to guard the approaches to Washington, Maryland and Pennsyl
vania. "When I was detached from General Lee's army, Hunter was ad
vancing on Lynchburg, one hundred and seventy miles south of
Winchester, with a very considerable force, and threatening all of
•Greneral Lee's communications with a very serious danger. By a
rapid movement my force had been thrown to Lynchburg just in time
to arrest Hunter's march into that place, and he had been driven back
and forced to escape into the mountains of Western Virginia, with a
loss of ten pieces of artillery, and subsequent terrible suffering to his
troops. "Maryland and Pennsylvania had been invaded, Washington threat
ened and thrown into a state of frantic alarm, and Grant bad been
-compelled to detach two corps of infantry and two divisions of cavalry
from his army. Five or six thousand prisoners had been captured
from the enemy and sent to Richmond, and, according to a published
statement by Sheridan, his army had lost thirteen thousand, eight
hundred and thirty-one, in killed and wounded, after he took com
mand of it. Heavy losses had been inflicted on that army by my
-command before Sheridan went to the Valley, and the whole loss
oould not have been far from double my entire force. The enemy,
moreover, had been deprived of the use of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and the Chesapeake and Ohio canal for three months. It
is true that I had lost many valuable officers and men, and about
sixty pieces of artillery, counting those lost by Ramseur and McCaus
land, and not deducting the nineteen pieces captured of the enemy ;
hut I think I may safely state that the fall of Lynchburg, with its
foundries and factories, and the consequent destruction of General
Lee's communications, would have rendered necessary the evacuation
of Richmond, and that, therefore, the fall of the latter place had
been prevented ; and, by my subsequent operations, Grant's opera
tions against Lee's army had been materially impeded, and for some
time substantially suspended.
"My loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, at Winchester and Fish
ers Hill, had been less than four thousand, and at Cedar Creek about
three thousand, but the enemy has attempted to magnify it to a much
larger figure, claiming as prisoners several thousand more than my
entire loss. How he makes out his estimate is not for me to explain.
He was never scrupulous as to the kinds of persons of whom he made
^prisoners, and^the statements of the Federal officers were not always

confined to the truth, as the world has probably learned. I know
that a number of prisoners fell into the enemy's hands who did not
belong to my command, such as cavalrymen on details to get fresh
horses, soldiers on leave of absence, conscripts on special details, citi
zens not in the service, men employed in getting supplies for the
departments, and stragglers and deserters from other commands.
"My army, during the entire campaign, had been self-sustaining so
far as provisions and forage were concerned, and a considerable num
ber of beef cattle had been sent to General Lee's army ; and, when the
difficulties under which I labored are considered, I think I may con
fidently assert that I had done as well as it was possible for me to do.
"Shortly after Rosser's return from the New Creek expedition Colo
nel Munford was sent with Wickham's Brigade to the counties of
Hardy and Pendleton to procure forage for his horses; and, cold
weather having now set in so as to prevent material operations in the
field, the three divisions of the Second Corps were sent, in succession,
to General Lee — Wharton's Division, the cavalry and most of the ar
tillery being retained with me."
In the preface to the pamphlet written in 1866 and 1867 by Gen
eral Early, entitled "Campaign in Virginia, from the Rapidan to
James River," he says : "I have not found it necessary to be guilty
of the injustice of attempting to pull down the reputation of any of
my fellow officers in order to build up my own. My operations and
my campaign stand on their own merits, whatever they may be. Nor
in anything I may have found it necessary to say in regard to the
conduct of my troops do I wish to be understood as, in any way, de
crying the soldiers who constituted the rank and file of my com
mands. I believe that the world has never produced a body of men
superior in courage, patriotism and endurance to the private soldiers
of the Confederate armies.
"I have repeatedly seen those soldiers submit, with cheerfulness, to
privations and hardships which would appear to be almost incredible ;
and the wild cheers of our brave men (which were so different from
the studied hurrahs of the Yankees) when their thin lines sent back
opposing hosts of Federal troops, staggering, reeling and flying, have
often thrilled every fiber in my heart. I have seen, with my own
eyes, ragged, barefooted and hungry Confederate soldiers perform
deeds which, if performed in days of yore by mailed warriors in
glittering armor, would have inspired the harp of the minstrel and the

pen of the poet  I have not undertaken to speculate-
as to the cause of our failure, as I have seen abundant reason for it
in the tremendous odds brought against us. Having had some
means of judging, I will, however, say that, in my opinion, both
President Davis and General Lee, in their respective spheres, did all
for the success of our cause which it was possible for mortal man to
do ; and it is a great privilege and comfort for me so to believe, and
to have been able to bring with me into exile a profound love and
veneration for these great men  I have not sought
refuge in another land from insensibility to the wrongs and sufferings
of my own country, but I feel deeply and continually for them, and
could my life secure the redemption of that country, as it has been
often risked, so now it would be as freely given for that object.

some of them in my own State, who took sides with our enemies, and
aided in desolating and humiliating the land. of their own birth, and
of the graves of their ancestors. Some of them rose to high positions
in the United States Army, and others to high civil positions. I
envy them not their dearly bought prosperity. I had rather be the
humblest private soldier who fought in the ranks of the Confederate
army, and now, maimed and disabled, hobbles on his crutches from
house to house to receive his daily bread from the hands of the grate
ful women for whose homes he fought, than the highest of those
renegades and traitors. Let them enjoy the advantages of their
present positions as best they may, for the deep and bitter execrations
of an entire people now attend them and an immortality of infamy
awaits them  Our enemies are in the habit of refer
ring scoffingly to Virginia as the 'Sacred Soil'; and in the hearts of
all her true sons and daughters her soil is, and from time immemorial
has been, held sacred, as well because of the associations connected
with her history as because it is the land of their birth, and with that
soil mingle the ashes of their ancestors. This sentiment all true men
everywhere must appreciate and honor. But the soil of Virginia is
now, and henceforth will be, held sacred in the hearts of* all true
Southern men and women, because she has been baptized in the
blood and has received into her bosom the remains of thousands upon
thousands of the truest and noblest sons of the entire Confederacy.
 My narrative is now given to the public, and the sole

"William W. Old, aide to Major-General Edward Johnson, who was
with me during the campaign in Maryland and the Shenandoah Val
ley until the 12th of August, 1864, and the copious notes of Captain
-J. Hotchkiss, who acted as topographical engineer for the Second
Corps and the army of the Valley District, and recorded the events
•of each day from the opening of the campaign on the Rapidan in
May, 1864, until the affair at Waynesboro in March, 1865."
After the consolidation of the Twelfth and Twenty-first Georgia with
the Fourth and Forty-fourth Georgia regiments, General George Doles
-commanded this brigade until he was killed at Cold Harbor on the 2d
of July, 1864, and after his death it was commanded by General Philip
iCook until the surrender of Lee's army. At the date of consolidation
this brigade was in the division of Major-General D. H. Hill, but at
•Chancellorsville Brigadier-General Robert E. Rodes had been as
signed to its command temporarily, but was soon afterwards promoted
major-general and assigned to its command. We remained in his
•division until his death at Winchester, Va., September 19, 1864.
Major-General Ramseur succeeded General Rodes, and was in com
mand until he was killed at Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864. After
the death of General Ramseur, Brigadier-General Bryan Grimes was
/promoted major-general and placed in command of our division and
•commanded it until the surrender. Our division was in the Second
¦Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, and was commanded successively
Joy Generals " Stonewall" Jackson, Ewell, Early and Gordon.
After the Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia (which
had been under the command of General Jubal A. Early, and par
ticipated in his valley campaign from June 12 until December,
1864) returned to Lee's army it was placed on the right flank of his
«,rmy, and its line extended from Hatcher's Run to the Boydton Plank
road. It was commanded by General John B. Gordon, who had suc-
-ceeded General Early as its corps commander. In March, 1865, it
was transferred to Petersburg for the express purpose of allowing
•General Gordon to become familiar with the works in and around that
-city, and to prepare for one of the most daring and desperate assaults
upon the enemy's line that was made during the entire war. While
occupying the trenches in the vicinity of Petersburg, we were
skirmishing and fighting almost continually, and our line was 60
thin that it amounted to nothing more than a skirmish line. It
was at this period that General Lee, after a consultation with General
«Gordon, determined that the latter should attack Fort Steadman on

the 25th of March, 1865. The attack was made, and the Fort cap
tured, but the forts in the rear were not taken because the guides had
been lost, and for the same reason our cavalry could not pass, pontoons-
could not be destroyed, and the telegraph wires were not cut. In ad
dition to these drawbacks Pickett's Division and other troops that were
to participate in the assault did not arrive. When this attack was made-
Lee's army did not number more than 45,000 men, and only about
40,000 of them were able for duty, and none of them in good condi
tion, while Grant's army numbered 160,000 strong and confident men.
The sufferings of Lee's army were terrible, and the men were feeble
from exhaustion and the want of food. But notwithstanding the un
favorable circumstances which surrounded them, they were full of"
fight and determination. It is true that a few grew faint-hearted and
deserted, but the majority remained faithful to the end.
Our brigade commander, General Philip Cook, was ordered on the
24th to find the way to the rear of Blandford's Cemetery and be in
position to advance by three o'clock a.m. of the 25th of March. They
were in position as ordered, ready for the movement. After the corps-
of sharpshooters and General Terry's Brigade passed, our brigade
crossed the works at the point carried by the advance. We were or
dered by General Grimes, our division commander, to occupy an
eminence about three hundred yards in advance and open fire upon
the enemy. Two batteries were observed in our rear supported by
troops, and we ascertained that our brigade was unsupported by the-
balance of the division, or other troops. The enemy fired upon us
from the rear, which caused us to change position to the opposite
side of the intrenchment and to fire on the enemy in the rear. No>
large body of the enemy had been discovered up to this time. Gen
eral Cook was wounded here and directed the brigade to retire to a
ditch running nearly parallel with the works, which was considerably
in advance of the other troops, and await orders.
This position was held until we were surrounded on three sides by
the enemy, and exposed to a heavy fire from their forts and batteries..
We were then ordered back and rejoined the division.
General Cook, in his report of this battle, says: "I regret the loss in
this engagement of Major F. H. DeGraffenreid, Fourth Georgia Regi
ment, a gallant and meritorious officer, mortally wounded and left in
the hands of the enemy, and Adjutant L. F. Bakewell, Twenty-first
Georgia Regiment, an officer whose education, intelligence and con
spicuous gallantry has long since entitled him to honorable promotion,.

ikilled. Several other officers were wounded and some captured ;
among the former was Captain 0. F. Evans, commanding Twelfth
Creorgia Regiment, and of the latter Captain T. R. Daniel, command
ing Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. On no occasion had the officers
-and men behaved better than on that day. Private Harvey, Com
pany K, Twelfth Georgia Regiment, and Sergeant J. F. Cook, Com
pany K, Twenty-first Georgia Regiment, are mentioned by their regi
mental commanders for their good conduct. Captain F. T. Snead,
A. A. G. ; Lieutenant R. V. Jones, A. A. and I. G., and Lieutenant
¦C H. Law, A. D. C. , rendered efficient service, and conducted them
selves with their uniform gallantry. Captain Snead was slightly
wounded and disabled for a short time."

CAPTURE OF FORT STEADMAN.
Captain Joseph P. Carson, Company I, Fourth Georgia Regiment,
'the hero of Fort Steadman, was as gallant a soldier as ever wore the
-gray. He went to Virginia in April, 1861, with the first company that
deft his county, and followed the fortunes of Stonewall Jackson, Ewell,
.Karly and Gordon until the fateful morning at Appomattox in 1865,
.participating in all the great battles in which his regiment took a part.
The following graphic account of the capture of Fort Steadman by
the sharpshooters of General Gordon's Corps, under his command, was
.given by him to a reporter of the press several years after the close
•of the war :
"The spring of 1865 found Lee's army in a critical position. His
•line was curved around Petersburg, confronting Grant's for nearly
twenty miles. Grant's center rested on the Appomattox river. Every
reinforcement he received would be thrown on his left, which made
it necessary that Lee's line should also be extended until it threatened
to snap. The average strength of it was one man to every six or eight
feet, and as day after day death claimed its victims from the heavy
-fire directed upon us, it grew weaker. Our line was protected by a
long, deep ditch, with cross ditches in rear from the cannon and
musket fire, but not from the shells which were dropped from mortars
-with fatal precision directly upon us. To avoid them, we had to bur
row under ground. Previous to this time an effort was made to break
our line by mining. The great crater was the result of this effort.
The events I am about to describe occurred a half mile to the left of
this crater.

38 Doles-Cook Brigade.
"About the 18th of March, General Lee sent for General Gordon^
whose sharpshooters I commanded, for consultation. They discussed;
the almost hopeless task of trying longer to hold the long line held by
our army. They agreed that the situation was desperate and alarm
ing. General Lee stated that he had just received the reports of his-:
officers and that he had only forty thousand men fit for duty, while
Grant confronted him with one hundred and sixty thousand. After
consultation they decided to make one last desperate effort to break.
Grant's line and, if possible, destroy his left wing, and then join
General Johnson in North Carolina and attack Sherman. No other
alternative was left except to abandon Petersburg and Richmond, or
to treat with the United States Government for the best terms they
could obtain. Preparations for the assault were at once begun.
"I was at that time captain of the sharpshooters, about one hundred
strong. They had been selected for their bravery from the entire-
corps, and represented every Southern State, and were armed with.
the celebrated Whitworth rifle, of the latest pattern, having a range of
eighteen hundred yards. The men were tried and trusty. Their
courage had been proven on a hundred battle-fields. General Gor
don informed me of what had been decided upon, but enjoined the-
strictest secrecy. The battle was to begin with a night assault upon
Fort Steadman by my sharpshooters, and if successful, it was to be-
promptly followed up by General Gordon's Corps. Fort Steadman
occupied a hill about two hundred yards from our line, which was also-
on a hill, and between the two hills flowed a branch about ten feet
wide, but only a few inches deep. Between the branch and the fort
there were three lines of obstructions as perfect as human ingenuity
and labor could devise.
" The first was composed of pine logs, about eight inches thick, in
which holes had been bored at intervals and sharpened spikes inserted.
Then logs about twenty-five feet long had been crossed and recrossecL
and fastened together with wire. About forty steps farther back was-
the second line, composed of tangled brush piled up with the sharp
ened butts projecting towards us. The third and last line was com
posed of fence-rails planted in the ground with their sharpened ends
slanted towards us.
" These obstructions extended all along the enemy's line. There was,
no weak place in it. These obstacles were to be surmounted by us in
the face of eight siege guns trained upon them, in addition to nearly
five hundred infantry in the fort. The fort was also surrounded by a.

Brigade History. 39
wide moat four feet deep and nearly full of water. The earth taken
from this ditch had been piled up on the inner side of it, forming an
almost perpendicular wall from bottom to top of thirteen feet. A
man could not, unhindered, if unassisted, climb up to the fort. To
cross these obstructions, scale the fort and capture it, was the task as
signed my sharpshooters.
" On the afternoon of March 24, a courier rode up to my camp with
orders for me to organize my corps and to follow him to the point from
which the assault was to be made. I immediately formed my men
into line and made them a speech. I told them we were going to un
dertake a hazardous task, from which very likely few of us would re
turn. That I had every confidence in their courage and devotion,
which I had so often seen tested, but that if any one desired to with
draw he was at liberty to do so. To this only two, and they were
sick, fell out of ranks. We then followed the courier, who led us by
a circuitous route through the outskirts of Petersburg, and finally
brought us up in front of Fort Steadman about dark, and then we
awaited orders.
" Arriving at this place I noticed for the first time that my brother
Bob, a boy of eighteen years, was with my men. He did not belong
to my command, but was serving as courier for General Phil Cook.
Surprised at his appearance there, I asked him what he desired. He
replied that he had come to go with me wherever I went. I talked
to him about the folly of such a course and implored him to give up
the idea. But all in vain. I reminded him that both of our broth
ers had been killed, and that our old father at home would look to
him to lean upon in his old age ; that I was going upon a perilous
expedition, with but little chance of returning alive. He admitted
that he, too, believed that I would be killed, and for that reason he
was going with me in order to bring back my body. What could I
say then ? Nothing ! We spread our blankets on the ground and
lay down, he to sleep and I to lie awake and think. It was very dark.
No sound broke the stillness of the night as we lay waiting the last
orders. I could not sleep ; I was unable to rid myself of the thought
that it was the boy beside me who would be killed. It came over me
as we lay there side by side for the last time. At three o'clock Gen
eral Gordon came. He furnished strips of white cloth to the men ;
they were drawn over the right shoulder to the left side, passed around
the body and tied. This was done so that we could recognize each
other in the darkness. General Gordon then made the men a speech.

40 Doles-Cook Brigade.
He told them that if they succeeded their names would go down to
posterity upon the roll of honor. That he would see to it that, living
or dead, the name of every one of their number should be honorably
mentioned in his native State, and that the survivors should go home
on a thirty days' furlough, and each receive a silver medal bearing
his own and Lee's name. It was a stirring and impressive speech as
we heard it, standing there in the night, with the awful task and eter
nity staring us in the face.
" The assault was to be made at a given signal, and at last it came. In
an instant we were over our works and heading for the fort with all the
speed we could command. We had hoped to reach it undiscovered,
but had not gone twenty-five yards before its guns opened upon us.
I do not, even now, understand it. We were not visible, and made
no noise. At the flash of their guns darkness disappeared, and at in
tervals, as the guns were discharged, it was as light as day. We soon
got beneath their line of fire at the foot of the hill. I think, up to
this time, we had not lost a man. We were still going on the run,
as fast as we could, crossed the branch and mounted the hill. I am
very fleet of foot, but when I reached the line Bob was there ahead
of me. I saw him for an instant by the flash of the cannon tearing
apart and dragging aside the wire and logs. He was very strong, and
had broken the wire when I got up. We went through the gap
together, followed by the others. The next minute we struck the
middle line of brush, climbing, falling and rolling over into the open
ground beyond. Then the wind from the cannon and flying balls was
so strong we could not keep our hats on, while the frightful roar of
the guns drowned every other sound. We went the balance of the
way with hats and guns in hand until we reached the last line of ob
structions. " The men seized the rails with the strength of desperation, dragged
them out of the ground and rushed through the gap. The next in
stant we came into the fire of the small arms, but continued to ad
vance on the run. Not only were we exposed to the musketry fire,
but had risen to the line of fire from the artillery. I do not know how
we got through it all, but in a few minutes we were in the moat.
" We had struck the fort about the middle. The infantry in the
fort was out upon the works firing straight down upon us. Lieuten
ant Gay, of the Fourth Georgia, fell at this time, mortally wounded,
and would have drowned had we not carried him out of the water
and placed him upon the bank, where he died. We were in the dark,

Brigade History. 41
-while the enemy above us were faintly outlined against the sky. I
shouted to the men to shoot every man who showed himself. They
began firing at once, and in a few moments the works were cleared.
It was but thirteen feet up, and my men were sharpshooters. When
the enemy found that it was death to show themselves, they thrust
their guns over and discharged them downward.
" It was a critical moment. We could neither retreat nor advance.
'The men began to inquire all along the line what they must do, and
several suggested that we fall back. But just at this time, with the
utmost coolness, word was quietly passed from the right of our line
that a low place had been found. I heard the intelligence before the
man next to me repeated it. Returning the command ' By the
right flank ! ' ' March ! ' we filed along until the place was reached
and scrambled into the fort. Forming my line We struck the en
emy's at right angles, and they in a few minutes surrendered. The
fort was commanded by General McLaughlin, and over five hundred
men surrendered with him. Generally, when a man surrenders, he
is demoralized. The night being very dark the Yankees thought our
whole army was attacking. As soon as they laid down their arms I
ordered them to form into line and double-quick to our works, which
they did in a hurry. We had killed a good many, as my men were
excellent shots. My orders had been executed, and we waited the
arrival of General Gordon, whom we expected every moment. But
for some reason he did not come, and after a time, on my own respon
sibility, I determined to advance. Forming my men into line we ad
vanced several hundred yards.
"Just before daylight, as we stood awaiting developments, an officer
¦coming from the Federal side dashed up. He was magnificently
mounted and reined up almost against me, with the words, 'Hello !
boys, how are things going?' I replied, 'They are going pretty
well,' and invited him to dismount. Two of my men leveling their
guns upon him, he dismounted and gave up his horse, with the in
junction to take good care of him. The prisoner was a colonel, but
I have forgotten his name. I then deployed my men as skirmishers
just back of the fort along the crest of the hill. Soon after I met
General Gordon, who received my report, commended my movement
and ordered me back to my command. There I remained until day
break, when a great commotion set in. I could hear the popping of
whips, the shouts of drivers, the whistling of engines and the rumble
of wagons and artillery. The Confederate attack on Grant's left

42 Doles-Cook Brigade.
wing had failed. Pickett's Division, the largest in Gordon's Corps,.
which had been ordered to make an attack, had failed to get up, and.
without it the Confederate forces were too weak to make the intended
assault. Pickett was fifteen miles off, and was to have come by rail,
but the railroad service was unreliable at that time, and the division-
did not arrive. About eight o'clock I saw the Federals coming. The
whole field was blue with them ; their lines must have been ten or-
fifteen deep. With our Whitworth guns we began to pick off a few,
but were soon forced back. We retired slowly to Gordon's line,.
which occupied the enemy's works. I did not let my men merge with
this line, but halted them in front of it, where they stood for a little-
time enjoying the honors they had so hardly won. In the meantime-
the Federal artillery and sharpshooters opened fire upon us, and it be
gan to grow warm. I was still mounted on my captured horse, andr
being the only person on horseback, was a conspicuous mark. When-
Captain F. T. Snead was wounded, I placed him on my horse and
helped to carry him out as our troops retired. The fire of the:--
enemy became terrific, and it seemed that nothing could live in it.
"At this moment one of my men asked me if I knew where Bob was.
For the first time since I saw him tearing away the obstructions I
remembered that he had gone into the fight with us. The soldier
said, after a few moments, that he believed Bob had been killed in-
front of the fort. Overwhelmed with fear I hurried back to the-
spot. When I reached it, I saw a form lying about twenty feet from
the moat. I recognized my overcoat. We had exchanged the night
before, but not until I had turned him over did I know positively
that it was my brother. He was dead, shot through the heart. I
called up one of the men, determined to carry the body back to our
lines. We started with it across the open space under a heavy fire.
Neither my companion nor myself was struck, but the body was shot
through four times. As I entered our works again, from which we
had so hopefully emerged early in the morning, I looked back
toward Fort Steadman. Over it, in the sunlight, floated again the-
stars and stripes. The last aggressive movement of Lee's army hadj
ended. Fifteen days later Richmond was evacuated."
General Gordon, in his "Last Days of the Confederacy," says:
"The result of the audacious attempt that had been made upon his^
line and its complete success up to the time that it was ruined by a
mistake was to awaken Grant's forces into more aggressive measures.
A sort of respite was had for a day, after the night atttack on Fort

Brigade History. 43:
Steadman, and then the death-struggle began. Grant hurled his
masses against our starved and broken -down veterans. His main at
tack was made upon our left, A. P. Hill's Corps  The
fighting was fearful and continuous. It was a miracle that we held
our lines for a single day. With barely six thousand men I was
holding six miles of line .... The main fight was on my line
and Hill's, as General Longstreet was nearer Richmond ....
Our line would bend and twist, and swell and break, and close again,.
only to be battered against once more. Our people performed prodi
gies of valor. How they endured through those terrible, hopeless,.
bloody days I do not know. They fought desperately and heroically,
although they were so weakened through hunger and work that they
could scarcely stand upon their feet and totter from one point of as
sault to another. But they never complained. They fought sternly,
grimly, as men who had made up their minds to die. And we held
our lines. Somehow or other — God only knows how — we managed
day by day to wrest from the Federals the most of our lines. Then
the men, dropping in the trenches, would eat their scanty rations, try
to forget their hunger, and snatch an hour or two of sleep . . -
My men fought with a valor and a desperate courage that has been
rarely equaled in my opinion, in military annals."
We evacuated Petersburg on the night of April 2, and our ad
vance reached Amelia Court House on the morning of the 4th, where-
we remained for nearly twenty-four hours in endeavoring to obtain
subsistence for men and horses from the surrounding country because
the supplies that had been ordered there failed to reach us. On the
5th we reached Jetersville and found the enemy's cavalry there,
and learned that his infantry was approaching, and that the general
advance of Grant's army was toward Burkeville. This rendered it im
possible to obtain supplies there as we expected, as the enemy was in
possession of the railroad leading to that place, and nothing could be
obtained from the adjacent country. Owing to this state of affairs-
our line of march had to be changed from the Roanoke to Farmville,
where our supplies were then ordered from Lynchburg. While-
moving toward Farmville on the 6th, the enemy's cavalry attacked
our wagon-train, and on the same day Generals Ewell, Kershaw and
Curtis Lee were captured, with most of their commands. Generals
Gordon and W. H. F. Lee checked the enemy on the road from
Amelia Springs in the morning and protected the trains, but after
this W. H. F. Lee was withdrawn to another part of the line, and

late that afternoon the enemy attacked him on both of his flanks and
he was driven in confusion from the field. That night our army
marched the entire night, and efforts were made to reorganize our
shattered divisions, but the men being worn-out and weakened for
want of rest and food, many of them threw their guns away, while
•others were with the wagon-trains and embarrassed their progress
materially. On the 7th as we passed Farmville rations were issued
to the troops, who reached there before the enemy approached, and
the supply-trains moved on. Some, however, on this account, were
not supplied. With considerable difficulty the head of our column
reached Appomattox Court House on the evening of the 8th,
where the troops were halted for rest. Our march was ordered to be
resumed at one o'clock a.m. on the 9th. Fitz Lee was to advance
and Gordon was to support him and drive the enemy from his front,
;and wheel to the left, in order to cover the passage ot the trains. The
ammunition wagons and two battalions of artillery were directed to
accompany the army. The balance of the wagons and artillery were
to move toward Lynchburg. An attack in the early part of the
night on Walker's Artillery, near Appomattox Station, on the rail
road to Lynchburg, was repulsed. There were indications during the
night that a large force was massing on our left and front. Fitz Lee
was ordered to ascertain its strength and postpone his advance until
daylight, if necessary. Fitz Lee, with Gordon on his left, moved at
five o'clock a.m., in order to open the way. Gordon discovered a
large force on his right, moving toward Appomattox Court House,
which drove back the left of the cavalry and threatened to cut him
off from Longstreet, while the cavalry of the enemy threatened his
left. General Lee in his official report says : "Gordon withdrew
across the Appomattox river, and the cavalry advanced on the
Lynchburg road and became separated from the army. Learning the
condition of affairs on the lines, where I had gone, under the expecta
tion of meeting General Grant, to learn definitely the terms he pro
posed in a communication received from him on the 8th, in the event of
•the surrender of the army, I requested a suspension of hostilities un
til these terms could be arranged. In the interview which occurred
with General Grant, in compliance with my request, terms having
been agreed on, I surrendered that portion of the Army of Northern
Virginia which was on the field, with its arms, artillery and wagon-
trains, the officers and men to be paroled, retaining their side-arms

Brigade History. 45-
and private effects. I deemed this course the best under all the cir
cumstances by which we were surrounded.
"On the morning of the 9th, according to the reports of the ord
nance officers, there were 7,892 organized infantry with arms, with an
average of seventy-five rounds of ammunition per man. The artil
lery, though reduced to sixty-three pieces, with ninety-three rounds
of ammunition, was sufficient. These comprised all the supplies of
ordnance that could be relied on in the State of Virginia. I have no
accurate report of the cavalry, but believe it did not exceed twenty-
one hundred effective men. The enemy was more than five times our
numbers. If we could have forced our way one day longer it would
have been at a great sacrifice of life, and at its end I did not see how
a surrender could have been avoided. We had no subsistence for man
or horse, and it could not be gathered in the country. The supplies-
ordered to Pamplin's Station from Lynchburg could not reach us, and
the men, deprived of food and sleep for many days, were worn-out and
exhausted." This brigade participated in the last engagement of the Army of
Northern Virginia, and was fighting and driving the enemy steadily
before them at Appomattox Court House, Va., on the 9th day of
April, 1865, when the Flag of Truce was borne into our lines.
The Fourth Georgia surrendered 92 non-commissioned officers and
men ; the Twelfth Georgia, 60 ; the Twenty -first, 50, and the Forty-
fourth Georgia Regiment, 73. The number of brigade, regimental
and company officers who surrendered was 28, making a total of
304 officers and men, of which 50 were non-combatants. Sketches
of the brigade officers and some of the regimental and company offi
cers appear in this history, but the list is not complete. There may
be, and doubtless are, other members of this brigade in this and other-
States who are, or have been, in public life that are entitled to special
mention, but the author is not aware of this fact. Numerous minor
officers and hundreds of private soldiers of the brigade, who were just
as intelligent, brave and gallant, and entitled to as much praise as
those mentioned, have not had special attention called to their deeds
of valor and patriotic devotion simply because space forbids, and the
extra expense which it would entail would not justify the author in
following the impulse of his nature and mentioning each of them sep
arately. This history has been written to commemorate the deeds of this .
patriotic band of Southern soldiers, so that coming generations may

know of its splendid services voluntarily given in defense of our South
land in her greatest hour of peril. No brigade in the Confederate
army can boast of a prouder record than that made by the Doles-
Cook Brigade. It followed the Confederate flag, which was borne by
strong and loyal hands, through the stormiest and hardest-fought bat
tles that the world has ever witnessed, which waved so proudly and
defiantly amid the carnage of death and destruction that it challenged
the admiration of all civilized nations and caused them to respect our
manhood, honor our bravery and applaud our splendid achievements
and devotion to a cause that was just and against which such fearful
odds were hurled. This flag floated as the emblem of truth and justice
for four long and bloody years, and then went down before overwhelm
ing numbers at Appomattox. Its life was a stormy but brilliant and
glorious one, and its memory will ever shed a halo of glory over the
South. No other nation possesses such a priceless record, none ever
contended with so many disadvantages and against such fearful odds ;
none ever displayed more courage or exhibited more loyal devotion
to any cause than the Confederate soldier, and time will add new
luster to his bright and glorious fame.

GENERAL GEORGE DOLES.
General Doles was born in Milledgeville, Ga., May 14, 1830.
His father was Josiah Doles, and his mother Martha Pierce, a daugh
ter of Rev. Dr. Lovic Pierce and a sister of Bishop George Pierce.
He was not educated at any military school or college, but was a
born soldier, and at an early date in life he was skilled in military
tactics. He rose rapidly in his chosen profession, and had he been spared
higher honors awaited him.
'He was one of the bravest, best beloved and most accomplished
soldiers Georgia furnished to the Confederate army.
Although he was a member of the Fourth Georgia Regiment,
and it claimed him as its own, there were three other gallant
Georgia regiments in his brigade, viz.: Twelfth, Twenty-first and
Forty -fourth, who were proud of their illustrious commander, and
who loved him in life and delight to honor his memory now.
On the 19th of January, 1863, the Twelfth and Twenty-first Georgia
Regiments were transferred to Doles' Brigade. After this transfer
the brigade consisted of the Fourth, Twelfth, Twenty-first and Forty-
fourth. In the beautiful ana lovely cemetery at Milledgeville, Ga., the
body of this illustrious soldier rests, where lie buried many distin
guished Georgians and unknown heroes of the Confederate army.
The bodies of his devoted and faithful wife and his lovely and only
•child Minnie rest beside him.
By resolution of the surviving members of the Fourth Georgia
Minnie was adopted as the "Daughter of the Regiment."
The surviving members of his regiment, as a tribute of their love
-and devotion for their idolized and first commander, erected a beau
tiful monument to his memory in July, 1894, which bears the follow
ing inscription :
West Side — "Erected by his old comrades of the Fourth Regiment
-of Georgia Volunteers, in honor of Brigadier-General George Doles ;
killed in battle at Cold Harbor, Va., June the 2, 1864.
"Covered with earth's fadeless laurels, he lies sleeping upon this
.•.sacred spot, where love is keeping his honored dust."
East Side — "Captain of the Baldwin Blues, 1860; Colonel Fourth

Regiment of Georgia Volunteers, 1861 ; Brigadier-General of Georgia.
Volunteers, 1862.
South Side — "Minnie, daughter of General George Doles, and his-
wife Sarah.
North Side — "Sarah, wife of General George Doles."
After General Doles was killed "The Richmond Whig" of June 6,
1864, published the following sketch of him :
"The announcement of the death of Brigadier-General George Doles,
of Georgia, will be received with universal regret, and will produce-
among the people of his native State a profound sensation of grief.
"To a vast circle of friends and acquaintances the tidings will
have a painful and crushing effect. Here among those who knew him
best and loved him most will the grief be deeper and more enduring.
The old and the young, the brave and timid, the rough and gentle,.
have been swept away by the storm of battle ; thousands of the purest
hearts and bravest spirits of the South have passed from life to death
in defense of home and country , but among the heroic dead sleeps-
not a nobler or purer spirit than his of whom we write.
"Pierced through the left breast by a minie ball, he fell on the-
battle-field near Cold Harbor, June 2, 1864, in the full vigor of mind
and body. General Doles was, we believe, a native of Baldwin
county, State of Georgia, and at the time of his death about thirty-four-
years of age. By nature he was gentle, kind, forgiving, charitable
and brave — a devoted husband and father and a steadfast friend.
Although not a graduate of any military institution, General Dole&
was familiar with every arm of the service, and so extensive and
varied was this information that the principles and details of every
branch of the profession were clearly and practically understood by
him. "At the commencement of hostilities he was in command as captain
of the Baldwin Blues, one of the oldest and best-drilled volunteer-
companies in the State of Georgia.
"This splendid company he had the honor to carry into the service.
In May, 1861, at Gosport Navy Yard, Virginia, when the Fourth
Georgia Regiment was organized, he was elected colonel and entered
at once upon the discharge of his duties. By his genial disposition,,
polite manners, strict discipline and prompt obedience to orders, he
won the admiration of inferiors as well as superiors, of citizens as well
as soldiers. The excellent character of the regiment, sustained, as it.
was, by intelligent and polished Southern youths, under his adminis-

Sketches of Brigade Field and Staff Officers. 49
tration acquired a permanence and splendor that will not be forgotten
by the people of Nansemond county.
"Under his direction the regiment attained that proficiency in drill
and maneuvers for which it was so much admired. On the 9th day
of May, 1862, Colonel Doles, with his regiment, left Camp Jackson
for the city of Richmond, to take an active part in the bloody scenes
soon to follow on the banks of the Chickahominy river. On the 21st
of May, 1862, Doles' Regiment (being the right of Blanchard's Bri
gade) moved to take a position on the battle-field of Seven Pines.
The enemy were at that time sullenly retiring. The appearance of
the Fourth Georgia attracted universal attention. Those Georgians
who saw the regiment file down the Williamsburg road that morning
felt a glow of pride and a swell of exultation. Every step was
cadenced, every limb elastic. With compact and closed ranks, with the
precision and regularity of unity, the regiment moved on the field
of battle.
"On the 25th of June, 1862, at eight o'clock a. m., and while on
picket, the enemy, under General Kearney, advanced suddenly
against our line. Doles quickly assembled three companies as skir
mishers and disputed the hostile advance. This was his first engage
ment, and well did he sustain his previous character and realize the
fondest expectations of his friends. From eight o'clock a.m. until
twelve o'clock m., with three small companies, he kept the entire
Twentieth Indiana Regiment at bay. The want of ammunition and
support caused his little band to fall back to the lines, when, after
being supported, the regiment was formed, and with Doles at its head
a charge was made, resulting in a complete rout of the enemy and a
terrible loss of men.
"A writer speaking of the regiment during this day's fight, said :
'The Fourth Georgia fought like devils.'
"At Malvern Hill, led on by Doles, the regiment again made a
splendid charge, but from the loss of men and want of support the
assault failed. In the charge Colonel Doles was so disabled by a
shell that he had to retire to the rear after the fight.
"On the 1st day of November, 1862, he was promoted to brigadier-
general, since which time he has been identified with, and has borne
a conspicuous part in all the battles of Lee's army. He rendered
signal and splendid service at Sharpsburg, Gettysburg and Chancel
lorsville, always attracting plaudits by his soldierly bearing on the
field and challenging the admiration of all.

"He fell while the elements of .death were raging around him.
With a determination to recover a temporary advantage obtained by
the enemy, he rushed to the front like a lion rendered desperate by
the blood and carnage surrounding, threw his slender brigade against
the foe, and fell as his devoted companions drove the yelling • enemy
back. Thus; while illustrating his native State and while displaying
the highest and noblest attributes of the human soul, he. fell . in the
moment of victory. Such a death, at such a monent, is all that a
true soldier can desire."

GENERAL PHILIP COOK.
General Cook was born in Twiggs county, Georgia, July 30, 1817.
At the age of sixteen he moved to Forsyth, Monroe county, Georgia,
and attended school. When nineteen years of age he joined the
Monroe Musketeers as a private and enlisted in the Seminole War.
This company was one of the five companies that served in that cam
paign from the State of Georgia, and was commanded by Captain
W. A. Black, and after serving three months was mustered out of ser
vice. He then entered Oglethorpe University, where he remained
three years; he then went to the University of Virginia, and in 1841
returned to Forsyth and became the law partner of Zachariah Harmon,
solicitor-general of the Flint Circuit. After three years' residence
there he moved to Sumter county because of failing health, and en
gaged in farming. He moved to Oglethorpe, Macon county, in 1850,
and formed a partnership with Colonel T. W. Montford, and prac
ticed law for several years. The firm was then dissolved, but he re
mained there until he enlisted in the Macon County Volunteers and
was elected second sergeant. This company afterwards was known as
Company I, and upon the organization of the Fourth Georgia Regiment
he was appointed adjutant of the regiment. In July, 1862, by peti
tion of the officers of his regiment, he was made lieutenantcolonel,
and when Colonel Doles was appointed brigadier-general he became
colonel of his regiment. After the death of General George Doles he
was promoted brigadier-general and assigned to the command of Doles'
Brigade. At the battle of Malvern Hill he was wounded, and again
at Chancellorsville. While at home on wounded furlough in 1863 he was elected to the
Senate of Georgia ; after serving forty days he returned to his com
mand. He returned to Georgia in 1864 and completed his term as
senator, and then rejoined his command. At Fort Steadman, Va.,
March 25, 1865, he was again wounded, and became a prisoner of
war and was not released until July 30, 1865. After his release he
returned to Oglethorpe, and as soon as he was able to perform any
kind of duty resumed the practice of law. He moved to Americus
in 1870 and became the law partner of Honorable Charles F. Crisp
until 1880, when the firm was dissolved. He then engaged in farming
in Lee county.

52 Doles-Cook Brigade.
Governor McDaniel appointed him one of the capitol commissioners
and he served until its completion. He was elected to the Thirty-sev
enth Congress, but not seated. In 1872 he was elected from the Third
Congressional District a member of the Forty-second Congress,
where he served continuously until 1882, when he was succeeded by
Honorable Charles F. Crisp.
Governor Gordon appointed him Secretary of State February, 1890,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Honorable N. C. Barnett.
He was elected Secretary of State for the full term of two years at
the general election in 1890, and again elected to the same office in
1892, but before the expiration of his term died in Atlanta, Ga.,
on May 23, 1894.
At a meeting of the Survivors' Association of the Fourth Georgia
Regiment held in Milledgeville, Ga., July 25, 1894, the following
resolutions by Captain Charles Tim Furlow were adopted by a rising
vote, viz.:
"Since our last meeting death has invaded our ranks, and with
ruthless hand has removed from our midst our beloved comrade and
friend, General Philip Cook. . . . Recognizing, as we do, his
usefulness as a citizen, his gallantry as a soldier and his fidelity as a
friend, be it
"Resolved, That in the death of General Cook, the first president
and always active supporter of this Association, we have suffered an
irreparable loss.
"Resolved further, That while we realize that his place in our ranks
can never be filled, we will ever keep his memory green in our hearts,
a sacred memento of the past.
Resolved further, That a blank page on our minutes be inscribed
with his name, date of birth and death, and that a copy of these
resolutions be forwarded to his family."
General Cook was a brave and determined man, but as gentle,
kind-hearted and sympathetic as a woman. No one ever applied to
him for assistance who was in distress that he did not treat kindly and
considerately, and substantially aid.
Only a short time before his death he received a letter from an un
known man in North Georgia telling him of his poverty, and of his
afflicted and bed-ridden wife, and requesting him to send him a pan for
the purpose of panning gold, which he believed could be found in the
branches running through the land upon which he lived, in order that

he might be able to make a living for himself and family instead of
asking charity of his neighbors. After reading it he handed it to
the writer of this article, who, after reading its contents, asked what he
proposed to do in regard to the matter. "Send it to him, as a matter
of course," he replied, "for I sympathize with him in his poverty and
affliction, and am always willing to help any one in distress, and espe
cially those who are willing and anxious to work." The next day he
sent to every hardware store in the city but could not procure one ;
he seemed disappointed, but was fully determined to get one and send
to him, but shortly after this his untimely death prevented him from
carrying out his desires.
His death was a severe shock to his many friends throughout the
entire State, and his surviving comrades felt as though they had lost
a true friend and brother.

CAPTAIN FLETCHER TILLMAN SNEAD.
Fletcher T. Snead was born in Milledgeville, Ga., July 28, 1829,
and was a descendant of the Sneads and Washingtons, two of the
oldest and noblest families in Georgia. His father, Rev. Tillman
Snead, of Baldwin county, was a Methodist minister of the old type,
who possessed great strength of character and of mind. These traits
were inherited by his son.
Fletcher Snead was pre-eminently a Georgian. Early in life he
lived in Milledgeville, next in Columbus, and when twenty years of
age he moved to Oglethorpe, Macon county, where he resided until
his death, except four years spent in the Confederate army.
On July 28, 1852, he married Miss Czarina Eunice Young, but
her early death, which occurred January 20, 1854, cast for many years
a gloom over his life. He first engaged in business as a druggist,
but in the meanwhile studied law, and in 1857 was admitted to the
bar. He practiced law successfully till 1861, when, in answer to the
first call for volunteers, he enlisted in the Confederate army. He
entered as fourth sergeant of the Macon County Volunteers, after
wards known as Company I, Fourth Georgia Regiment. This com
pany and nineteen others were mustered into service at Augusta, Ga.,
April 29, 1861.
Captain Snead was promoted to first sergeant, October 2, 1861; first
lieutenant and adjutant of the Fourth Georgia Regiment in Sep
tember, 1862. In November, 1862, he was promoted captain and
assistant adjutant-general of Doles' Brigade. After the death of
General Doles Captain Snead held the same position under General
Cook until the surrender. Captain Snead served through the entire
war and never missed a fight in which his command was engaged, and
he surrendered with his command at Appomattox Court House, Va.
In disposition he was kind, gentle and retiring, but as a soldier he
was brave, fearless and daring, and was ever ready and willing to
perform any duty assigned to him. Every man in his brigade loved
and honored him. His intrepidity and gallantry on the battle-field
commanded the admiration of both men and officers.
In 1864, on one occasion, when the extreme illness of a member of
his family rendered his presence at home imperative, he asked for a

Sketches of Brigade Field and Staff Officers. 55
short leave of absence, and his application was indorsed by General
Ramseur, as follows :
"Headquarters, Rodes' Division, October 16, 1864.
"Captain Snead has participated with distinguished gallantry in
every battle and skirmish in which his command has been engaged
since the beginning of the war. If not inconsistent with the public
service, I hope his application may be granted.
S. D. Ramseur."
The leave of absence was granted, and was the only one asked for
by him during the war.
In January, 1865, after many hard-fought battles, the consolidation
of the Fourth and Twelfth Georgia Regiments, now battle-scarred, de
pleted in numbers, reduced and broken, was seriously considered, and
General Cook wrote the following letter :
"Headquarters Cook's Georgia Brigade, January 20, 1863.
"Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Taylor, A. A. General:
"In suggesting the most proper consolidation of the regiments of
this brigade and the officers of the same, I have recommended Cap
tain Fletcher T. Snead, A. A. General of the brigade, for promotion
to the colonelcy of the Fourth and Twelfth Regiments. There is now
no colonel in either regiment, and no field officer of the Fourth Geor
gia except Lieutenant-Colonel Nash. The Twelfth Georgia has no
field officer except Lieutenant-Colonel Hardeman, now prisoner of
war. Captain Snead has been in the service since April, 1861. He
has been in every engagement with his regiment (Fourth Georgia)
and his brigade during the war, and he has always conducted himself
with the greatest coolness, courage and gallantry. He was men
tioned in every report by General Doles for gallant conduct. On sev
eral occasions he commanded the admiration and praise of Generals
Rodes and Ramseur. He is the superior of any other officer in the
two regiments in general intelligence, in military reading, and he is
perfectly familiar with all that pertains to the organization and disci
pline of the regiment. He will make a superior officer in the field,
and in camp he has that force of character, decision and promptness
which would guarantee the highest degree of discipline.
I am, Colonel, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Phil Cook,
Brigadier- General . "

56 Doles-Cook Brigade.
After the surrender he returned to Oglethorpe, Ga., and resumed
the practice of law. In 1865 he was one of the secretaries of the
Constitutional Convention, and for several sessions of the General
Assembly after the surrender, he was assistant secretary of the Sen
ate. Captain Snead was a leader in politics and he held at different
times a number of important offices in his own county. At the time
of his death he was mayor of Oglethorpe, county solicitor and presi
dent of both the Macon County Veterans' Association and the Survi
vors' Association, Fourth Georgia Regiment.
On December 29, 1874, Captain Snead was married to Miss Mary
L. Wardlaw, daughter of Rev. John B. Wardlaw of the South
Georgia (Methodist) Conference. From this union three sons were
born, Fletcher Wardlaw Snead, John B. Wardlaw Snead and Albert
Charles Snead.
Several times when a boy Albert attended the reunion of the sur
vivors of the Fourth Georgia Regiment, and each time recited for
the veterans patriotic poems commemorating their brave deeds and
recalling memories of the "Grand Old Fourth Georgia." These
poems were written for the occasions by Mrs. W. H. Willis, the
"Mother of the Regiment." At the reunion held in Talbotton in
1893 this talented son of their brave captain was elected "Son of the
Regiment," an honor greatly esteemed by him and by his family.
Captain Snead joined the Methodist Church early in life and re
mained a faithful and consistent member until his death. For many
years he was superintendent of the Sabbath-school of his town. In
the support of his church he was liberal and ready to champion any
cause which looked to the upbuilding of his section and State, and
aided all worthy objects of charity to the extent of his ability.
Captain Snead's death was sudden. Stricken with apoplexy
while at his business office, he was brought home in a state of uncon
sciousness which continued for four days, and then he quietly passed
to his eternal rest. He died Friday, May 8, 1891, and is buried
in Oglethorpe, Ga. , where he lived so long, and where his good deeds
and kindness of heart, his readiness ever to serve and to help others
fondly endeared him to every heart.
Did space allow a full history of his life as a man, dwelling upon
the beauties of his character in his social, civil and church relations,
there would be much to say. Gifted in mind, possessed of a wonder
ful memory, cultured in heart and life, courtly in manner, he was

nature's nobleman. As a husband he was tender, devoted, thought
ful; as a father, loving, kind, considerate; as a friend, faithful and
true. To his children he left a rich inheritance in his good name and
in the example of a noble life.

Charles Tim Furlow enlisted as a private soldier in Company
K, Sumter Light Guards, Fourth Georgia Regiment, May 27, 1861,
at Camp Doles, Virginia. During the year 1861 he was detailed as
regimental marker, and as orderly to General Doles. Promoted
first lieutenant and A. D. C. on General Doles' staff, 1863. Slightly
wounded at Gettysburg, Pa. Promoted captain and A. A. G., in
Adjutant-General's Department, 1864.
After being slightly wounded in the head at Spottsylvania he sat
•down at the root of a tree, fully convinced that his skull had been torn
off by a bursting shell. The blood was trickling down his face, and he
was regretting his misfortune and thinking of the near approach of
death, when one of his company, in passing, asked him if he was badly
wounded ; he replied that his wound was mortal. His friend ex
amined and reported the wound a very slight one; after this assurance
he realized his mistake and again entered the fight.
He served through the entire war, and was in every engagement in
which his regiment participated except in the latter part of the war,
when he was stricken down with typhoid fever in North Carolina,
being confined to his bed in Salisbury when Lee's army surrendered.
He was a gallant and fearless soldier, and both Generals Doles and
Cook complimented him in several of their official reports for gal
lantry on the field of battle.
He was born near Holton, Bibb county, Ga., April 15, 1842.
Soon after his birth his father moved to Americus, Ga., and he
attended the schools there until he entered Emory College. Before
graduation he joined the Confederate army.
In 1884 Hon. Wm. A. Wright appointed him chief clerk in the
office of Comptroller-General. After serving in this position for twelve
years he resigned and was appointed by Hon. Wm. J. Speer,
Assistant Treasurer of Georgia. Hon. R. E. Park reappointed him
to the same office, which he now holds.
After the surrender he married Miss Carrie Meriwether, of Colum
bia county, Ga. They have five sons and one daughter living.

58 Doles Cook Brigade.
The surviving members of the Doles-Cook Brigade are proud that
they served in the Confederate army with such a manly little man
as Captain Furlow.
Major H. K. Daniel was a private soldier in the Sumter
Light Guards, Company K, Fourth Georgia Regiment, when he-
was mustered into service. He was promoted regimental quarter
master, and in November, 1862, brigade quartermaster, where he re
mained throughout the war. He was a cultured gentleman, and made-
an efficient and satisfactory official. He died after the surrender.
Captain Eugene A. Hawkins went out with the famous Baldwin
Blues as a private in April, 1861. In 1862 was promoted second and
then first lieutenant of his company. Appointed A. D. C. on staff"
of General Doles December, 1862. Promoted captain and brigade
inspector in November, 1863. Was killed at the battle of the Wil
derness May 5, 1864. There was no better nor more popular officer in
the brigade. He was a brave, dashing and daring soldier ; a true-
gentleman and a warm friend. In every battle he was complimented.
by General Doles for faithful service rendered, and gallantry in action.
His untimely death was deeply regretted by his comrades, and his-
loss to the service was great.
Lieutenant Richard V. Jones was mustered into service as-
second corporal in the Baldwin Blues, Company H, Fourth Geor
gia Regiment. His promotions were rapid until he attained the rank
of first lieutenant in 1862. He was then detailed as inspector
general of Doles' Brigade in 1864. He surrendered at Appomattox
Court House, Va., and a few years thereafter died of that dread disease-
consumption at his home in Milledgeville, Ga. He was a good and
brave soldier and a man of fine character, who made friends wherever
he went.
Lieutenant Charles H. Law entered the service as a private in
the LaGrange Light Guards, Company B ; was promoted ser
geant-major of the Fourth Georgia Regiment. Promoted first lieuten
ant and A. D. C. on staff of General Philip Cook. Surrendered at
Appomattox Court House, Va. He was a true, brave and faithful sol
dier, and his commanding general complimented him for his gallantry
in action more than once. His death, which occurred in Savannah,Ga. ,
in 1879, was deeply regretted by his comrades and many admiring
friends. Lieutenant William Darius Ivey was mustered into the Con-

Sketches of Brigade Fdsld and Staff Officers. 5&
federate service at Richmond, Va., on the 26th of June, 1861, as-
second lieutenant of the Calhoun Rifles, Company D, Twelfth
Georgia Regiment. Assigned to duty on staff of General Edward
Johnson, at Alleghaney Mountain, Va., and served in that capacity
until the battle of McDowell, Va., May 8, 2862. On this date he was
promoted first lieutenant of his company. General Johnson having
received a wound in this battle, ordered Lieutenant Ivey to report to
General "Stonewall" Jackson; he was then assigned to the Ordnance
Department of his division, and was subsequently made ordnance
officer of Doles' Brigade. Afterwards he returned and took command
of his company. On the 10th of May, 1864, he was captured at
Spottsylvania.Va., and was one of the six hundred Confederate officers
who were exposed to the fire of our batteries on Morris Island, S. C,
and was then transferred to Fort Pulaski, Ga. Released from prison in
Philadelphia, Pa., June, 1865. He attended the Georgia Military
Institute for two years and was a fine drilled officer. As a Confeder
ate soldier he was brave and gallant, ever ready to answer to the call
of duty. He is now a very zealous Ex-Confederate, and takes much
pleasure in attending our reunions and is greatly interested in every
thing that has a tendency to perpetuate the fame of the Confederate
soldier and the memory of the Lost Cause. He is a resident of Ar
lington, Ga.
Lieutenant Thomas B. Cabaniss went into service as a private
in the Quitman Guards, First Georgia Regiment, The captain of the
Dahlonega Guards resigned on account of feeble health, and at the
instance of its members private Thomas B. Cabaniss was appointed
captain of the company.
The First Georgia, Colonel Ramsey commanding, enlisted for
twelve months, and at the expiration of its term disbanded. Four com
panies reinlisted and formed the Twelfth Battalion of Artillery, the
remaining companies joining other commands. In the latter part of
1863 Cabaniss was appointed ordnance officer of Doles' Brigade,
with the rank of first lieutenant, and served in that position until
he surrendered with the brigade at Appomattox Court House, Va.
He was an efficient officer and commanded the respect of both offi
cers and men. Since the war he represented his district in the Con
gress of the United States for one term, and afterwards President
Cleveland appointed him a member of the Daws Indian Commission,
which position he held for five years and then resigned. He is now a
prominent lawyer of Forsyth, Ga.

Poem Relating to the Brigade. 61
THE OLD BRIGADE ON "BRUMBY" DAY.
The brilliant pageant on Brumby Day is now vividly recalled by the
passing of the distinguished young Georgian in whose honor countless
thousands thronged our streets only a few short weeks ago. No feature
of the parade was more impressive than the appearance of the war-worn
Confederate veterans with their tattered but illustrious banners.
The following touching lines were inspired by that scene and are from
the pen of Mrs. Leonora Beck Ellis, the daughter of Colonel Beck, of'
the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment of the gallant Doles-Cook Brigade.
The poem was sent to the Order of Robert E. Lee, of which Mrs. Ellis is
an enthusiastic member, to be read at their next meeting, but is here
with given to the public as being peculiarly appropriate at this time :
When the men of the old brigade marched by,
With a wavering pace, but a look clear and high,
Here an empty sleeve, there a halting crutch,
Gray locks above shoulders that stooped overmuch,
Oh, heartstrings were vibrant, keen-thrilled 'neath the touch
Of the old brigade !
The bugles were sweet, and the trumpet's fine blare
With the deep call of drums smote the palpitant air ;
Gay guardsmen and troopers aglitter with gold
Under broidered silk banners rode martial and bold.
But a bullet-rent flag, wrecked by moth and by mold,
Led the old brigade !
High-bearted, the hero of our new day
Eead a people's proud love as the shouts cleft their way.
The triumph's rich pageant stirred all the vast throng ;
Smooth and gallant the supple young ranks swept along,
But worn in the combat with years and with wrong
Tramped the old brigade.
Ah, courage and honor are ever the same,
And, winning or losing, they forfeit not same.
Long ago from the throes of the deadliest fight
That ever envenomed a brave land with blight,
Home again, to a contest still harder to right,
Came that broken brigade.
They strove — how they strove ! and they won at the last ;
The struggle is ended, the long bitterness past.
Through pseans, over drum-beat and bugle to-day,
The thinned ranks listen eager for God's great reveille ;
Soon they'll answer the call ; and no heart but will pray
That their countrymen's love and sweet heaven for aye,
Hold the old brigade !

HOW OUR GENERALS FOUGHT.
One of the most vivid recollections of our struggle, one which
stands out upon the canvas of the past clear and distinct, is a scene I
witnessed near Spottsylvania Court House, Va., May 10, 1864. Late
in the afternoon of that day the Federals massed their charging col
umns for an assault against a part of the line held by Ewell's Second
Corps. The brunt of this attack fell upon Doles' Brigade. They
fought as they always fought, with cool determination to drive back
the mass of Federals coming against them. The enemy advanced
rapidly, and with overwhelming odds carried part of the line and cap
tured a portion of the/ Eorty-fourth Regiment and some from the
other regiments of the nrigade. This was a very severe blow to our
brave comrades of this glorious brigade, who had so often whipped
as great and even greater odds on other fields. But they never left
that field. Those who had been captured were hurried back by their
captors, but the remainder still fought as they yielded up part of the
position and joined the reinforcements which were brought to their
assistance in retaking the day. The brigades of Generals Johnson,
¦of North Carolina, and John B. Gordon, of Georgia, were close at
hand and were ordered in to the relief of Doles' men. These soon
¦drove back the exultant Federal column and rendered their success
of very short duration. Many of this column of attacking Federals
became the victims of the steady aim of Doles' veteran riflemen and
the ground was thickly strewn with their dead. Their bodies were
subsequently buried by their comrades under flag of truce.
When the Federals were sent rushing back to their own lines the
brigades of Gordon, Johnson and Doles quickly reoccupied the bro
ken Confederate position and sent defiant volleys into the fleeing
Federals. In this charge to retake our line I chanced to land at the point
where the left of Doles' Brigade had rested, and near where two
Napoleon guns were in position. These guns had been captured and
the gunners, or the most of them, carried away as prisoners. Our ad
vancing line prevented the carrying away of the artillery. As soon
as we reestablished this line volunteers from some reserve artillery
behind our line came forward to work the guns, and their thunderous
fire added to the horrid din of the night's battle. At one of these
guns I noticed a handsome officer hard at work helping to run the
gun "into battery" as soon as loaded. "Now, let them have it, boys "

he would say, as everything was ready, and the lanyard would be
•quickly pulled and the screeching shell went in its wild search for
the blue-coated chaps who were seeking shelter under the hill in our
front. "Load her up again, boys," he commanded, and again his shoulder
was pressed against the pondererous wheel, while some other soldier
pushed the other one forward for another fire.
And thus for many rounds this officer, for the time being, played
the part of a private of artillery.
As soon as the fire slackened and the lull, which always follows the
storm of battle, came, this officer, who was none other than the gallant
George Doles, resumed the command of his brigade.
There were many thrilling scenes witnessed in and near this his
toric spot, but none impressed me more than the one just told. It
proves the statement often made that the Confederate generals were
always at the front and recklessly exposed themselves in battle.
In contrast to this I quote from a little book, written by an ex-
Federal soldier, in which the following words are found :
"The aggregate losses (in Grant's army), after the fighting at
North Anna, were 46,989 enlisted men and officers. And the enlisted
men never heard of but one general officer being killed. He was
Brigadier-General Burnham. They heard of three or four other gen
erals being wounded and of two being captured. During this same
time, that is, between May 31 and October 28, 1864, we learned from
the Confederate prisoners that the Confederate generals Doles, Cham-
bliss, Gherardio, Dunnavan and Gregg, had been killed, and many
of their generals wounded. .......
Our losses of general officers, if they had fearlessly performed their
¦duty, should have been at least four times as heavy as those of
the Confederates. Instead of one Union general being killed to
our 46,000 enlisted men stricken in battle, there should have been
at least twenty of them killed and eighty others wounded, and there
probably would have been if they had done their duty as recklessly as
the Confederate generals did theirs."
These are historical facts. They tell the story of the South's heroic
struggle. Her soldiers .and their leaders knew how to fight for
their homes, and how to face danger. The record they made will
live as long as men honor patriotism and self-sacrificing devotion to
their country's cause. W. H. Harrison.

History of the Fourth Georgia Regiment.

CHAPTER II.
In April, 1861, Joseph E. Brown, Governor of Georgia, ordered?
twenty companies of infantry to rendezvous at Augusta, Ga., for
service in the army of the Confederate States. Ten of these compa
nies were mustered in as the Third Regiment, Georgia Volunteers,
and the other ten as the Fourth Regiment, Georgia Volunteers,.
commonly known as the "Fourth Georgia." The companies assigned
to this regiment were as follows : Letter after

Nearly all of these companies arrived at Augusta April 27 and ex
pected to perfect a regimental organization, but, after being mustered
in as twelve months troops, the exigencies of the service demanded
that they be sent at once to Portsmouth, Va., in order to secure the-
Navy Yard and other public property at that place before the enemy
could receive reinforcements. The regiment left Augusta May 3,
and arrived at Portsmouth May 5. The enemy had evacuated the-
place, after attempting to blow up the dry dock and burn the building,
and the regiment quietly went into camp in the Navy Yard. The
Third and Fourth Georgia Regiments and the Second Georgia Battal
ion were the first Confederate troops to enter the State of Virginia at.
the commencement of the war. The regiment was armed with smooth
bore muskets but had received no ammunition; so, to put itself in
fighting trim, it borrowed one round of fixed ammunition and three
caps from the Second Georgia Battalion.
On May 9 the organization was completed by the election and.
appointment of the following officers :

On May 20 the regiment left the Navy Yard and moved to a
camp near Hodges' Bridge on the Western Branch, and on May 30
moved again to a point on Hampton roads, opposite Newport News
and Fortress Monroe and between Pigs Point and Cramy Island, eight
miles from Norfolk, which was named Camp Jackson in honor of the
hotel-keeper, of Alexandria, Va., who killed Colonel Ellsworth, of
the New York Zouaves, for pulling down the Confederate flag. We
remained here for nearly a year and became practically perfect in the
.school of the soldier. Besides the daily company and regimental
drills, the men were drilled in artillery practice, built bridges, signal
stations and winter quarters and erected fortifications. We were in
full view of those exciting naval engagements of the Merrimac with
the Federal Blockading Squadron, in which she sunk the Frigate
Cumberland, burned and sunk the Congress and disabled the Monitor.
Colonel Doles was one of the finest officers developed by the volun
teer service. He was intelligent and firm, knew what to do and how to
do it, and as the regiment was composed almost entirely of compa
nies organized and drilled before the war, it did not require much time
to bring it to a high state of drill and discipline.
Very few changes occurred in the personnel of the officers during the
year. On April 27, 1862, our term of enlistment expired, but the
conscript act of April 15 retained all twelve-months troops then
in service. So we did not disband and go home, but were allowed to
reorganize. Some of the older officers did not offer for reelection ; a
few were defeated, but the majority were reelected. Captain W. F.
Jordan, of Company G, was elected major in place of Major White
head. Surgeon Nelson had resigned and Assistant Surgeon Philpot
had taken his place. Colonel Doles was enthusiastically reelected,

and he made no changes in the staff. At this time we were in Huger's
Division and Blanchard's Brigade. This brigade was composed of
the Third, Fourth and Twenty-second Georgia regiments and the
First Louisiana. As these regiments were camped some distance
apart only one or two efforts at brigade drill were attempted.
On May 8, 1862, orders were received to prepare to mo^e, as the
evacuation of Norfolk was deemed advisable. Accordingly at twelve
o'clock on May 10 the regiment took up its line of march for
Petersburg. All had an idea that marching would be easy work, as
we had been drilling constantly for a year, but very few reached
their destination without blistered feet or without having straggled at
some time during the march.
We reached Petersburg on the morning of May 15 and went into
camp on the "Heights." While here Company I, Captain Willis-
doing picket duty near City Point, had quite a spirited engagement
with the crews of the gunboats of the enemy, killing a number and
capturing nine, the first prisoners brought to Petersburg. Lieutenant-
Colonel Mathews resigned while here. Major Jordan was promoted
to lieutenant-colonel, and Captain R. S. Smith, Company B, became
major. The regiment left here on May 29, and on the morning of the
30th passed through Richmond, camping in the eastern suburbs. The
next day we marched by slow stages to the vicinity of Seven Pines,
where heavy fighting was in progress.
June 1 we marched on the battle-ground, expecting to take part
in the engagement, but the ememy retired before we could be placed.
We went into camp on the edge of the battle-field and threw up breast
works. We remained at this place until June 29, doing heavy
picket duty. While here General Blanchard was removed and
Colonel A. R. Wright, of the Third Georgia, was appointed brigadier-
general and succeeded to the command. Commissary Morgan re
signed and Lieutenant Samuel McComb, Company H, was ap
pointed to the place. While on picket on the morning of June
25, the enemy advanced upon us in force, but was held in check for
several hours. Nearly all of Lee's troops had been sent to our left to
join Jackson, and only a thin line was left between the enemy and
Richmond. The Federals suspected something of the kind and or
dered Sickles to make a reconnaissance in force with his entire division.
This was the column engaging us. We fought, skirmished, retreated
and put up as big a bluff as possible until about four o'clock, when we-

charged and drove the enemy back to their works, losing about fifty
men, killed and wounded, but inflicting a much greater loss upon the
enemy. The "Richmond Dispatch,'' in speaking of this fight, known as
the battle of King's School house, said : "The Fourth Georgia acted
like very devils, and fought and charged three regiments several times
and routed them."
Brigadier-General Augustus R. Wright, in his official report of the
battle of King's Schoolhouse, says: "On our extreme right the
enemy still maintained their position in the heavy woods about four
hundred yards in advance of King's Schoolhouse aDd not more than
one thousand yards in advance of our line of rifle pits. Colonel
Doles' Fourth Georgia Regiment, supported by Colonel Hill's North
Carolina Regiment, was ordered to advance, engage the enemy, and, if
possible, dislodge them from their advanced position in the woods and
drive them back beyond the lines occupied by our pickets in the morn
ing. This order was promptly obeyed by Colonel Doles, who with his
small command, now worn-out and completely exhausted by the fa
tigue and want of rest on the night before and the constant fight dur
ing the whole day, rushed forward and soon found themselves con
fronted by Sickles' Brigade, strongly posted in a thick growth of
pines. The fire here for twenty minutes was furious and terrific be
yond anything I have ever witnessed. But the gallant Fourth pressed
on amid a deadly fire and soon the foe began to fall back 
In this severe and long-contested battle all our troops behaved well
without exception. . . . The conduct of Colonel Doles' Fourth
Georgia Regiment challenges our warmest admiration and thanks for
the gallant manner in which it rallied in the evening and drove from
their stronghold the famous Excelsior Brigade."
"I fully concur in the commendations General Wright makes on the
conduct of Colonel George Doles, and can bear witness to his con
tinued attention to his duties as well as to his gallantry in action.
"Benj. Huger, Major-General."
"Falling Creek, July 21, 1862.
"General: — In forwarding my reports of the different engage
ments of the division which I commanded I have to request of you,
as a reward to the regiments who most distinguished themselves, that
an order be given authorizing the following regiments to inscribe on
their banners as follows :

68 Doles-Cook Brigade.
First, Third Georgia Volunteers, ' South Mills.'
Second, First Louisiana Volunteers, ' King's Schoolhouse.'
Third, Fourth Georgia Volunteers, 'King's Schoolhouse.'
Fourth, Twenty-fifth North Carolina, ' King's Schoolhouse.'
Fifth, Forty-ninth Virginia Volunteers, 'King's Schoolhouse.'
"Benj. Huger, Major-General."
On June 29 we left this camp and on July 1 we were engaged in
the attack upon Malvern Hill. The regiment advanced through an
open field, swept by a terrible fire from the Federal batteries, to a
point where but few went with them, and beyond which none ever
went, and remained there until withdrawn by order of General
Wright. Colonel Doles and Adjutant Cook were both wounded, the
latter severely. After this battle the enemy withdrew and the Fourth
Georgia encamped at various points around Richmond until the mid
dle of August.
The regiment had lost heavily in killed and wounded, and the fa
tigue and privations it had undergone rendered this rest acceptable,
if not absolutely necessary. During this time the regiment was trans
ferred to Ripley's Brigade, D. H. Hill's Division. The other regi
ments in the brigade were the First and Third North Carolina and
the Forty-fourth Georgia. While with this brigade we did consider
able work upon the permanent fortifications around Richmond. Lieu
tenant-Colonel Jordan resigned here, and Adjutant Cook was recom
mended for the place by unanimous vote of all the officers for "dis
tinguished gallantry at King's Schoolhouse and Malvern Hill."
On August 19 the regiment was loaded on box cars and sent to
Orange Court House. D. H. Hill's Division was the last of the reg
ular troops to leave Richmond and did not rejoin the army until the
battles of Second Manassas were practically over.
From this time on we were regularly incorporated into the Army of
Northern Virginia, and shared its glories and vicissitudes. We
marched with the army into Maryland and camped a few days at Fred
erick City. We then moved through Boonsboro Gap, at South
Mountain, and were shortly after followed by McClellan and his army.
On September 14 the regiment was sent to the left of our line to
guard a pass and remained all day without molestation. The entire
regiment came very near being captured that night, however, for,
when our army was ordered to evacuate the position, General Ripley
forgot all about us and started with the rest of the brigade for Sharps-

History of the Fourth Georgia Regiment. 69
burg. Colonel DeRosset, of Third North Carolina, discovered our ab
sence and a courier was dispatched to notify us. We left hurriedly,
but none too soon, for as we passed through the town the enemy was
entering it. Had our notice been ten minutes later we would have
been certainly cut off and captured in a body. As it was we reached
Sharpsburg in safety and were ready to play our part in the engage
ment which followed.
As soon as it was light enough, on the morning of September 17,
for the enemy to see our line lying exposed upon a hillside, they
opened upon us with several batteries and did considerable execution.
We moved to the left and formed line of battle at right angles to our
former position in an open field, and were murderously assailed by
the enemy concealed in a piece of woods a short distance in front.
Our loss was fearful. At this juncture General Ripley was wounded
and the command of the brigade devolved upon Colonel Doles. He
immediately ordered a charge and the enemy was easily repulsed.
Just as this movement was completed Major Smith was killed by a
grape-shot. Adj utant Cook had recovered from his wound sufficiently
to report for duty and had just received his commission as lieutenant-
colonel. He took command of the regiment and held it through the
engagement. We moved by the left again, through an open field,
and took position on a ridge overlooking an immense corn field which
seemed literally alive with Yankees. The regiment suffered great loss
here ; had three color-bearers shot in a few moments. Ammunition
was now exhausted and the regiment was withdrawn and sent to the
rear to replenish. It was then ordered back and the remainder of the
day was occupied in supporting batteries. It rested that night within
two hundred yards of its bivouac of the night before. Thus ended
what was considered by many as the bloodiest and most hotly con
tested battle of the war. Certain it is that McClellan, with a force
more than doubling ours, did not see fit to renew the battle, and on the
night of September 18 we withdrew to the south side of the Potomac
quietly and unmolested.
General D. H. Hill, in his official report of the battle of Sharps
burg, says: "Major Robert S. Smith, Fourth Georgia, fell fight
ing most heroically, at Sharpsburg. He had received a military
education and gave promise of eminence in his profession. And
Colonel Doles (now commanding Ripley's Brigade) pays a tribute to
the memory of Major Robert S. Smith, Fourth Georgia, and speaks
in the most complimentary terms of Colonel Phil Cook, Captains W.

H. Willis, F. H. DeGraffenreid, and Lieutenants E. A. Hawkins,
R. M. Bisel, W. W. Hulbert, J. T. Gay (wounded), J. G. Stephens,
C. R. Ezell, F. T. Snead, L. M. Cobb (killed), J. C. Macon
(severely wounded). 'All commended themselves to my special
notice by their gallant and meritorious conduct.' Captain John C.
Key, commanding Forty-fourth Georgia, and Captain Read, Assist
ant Adjutant-General, are equally commended. Assistant Surgeon
William P. Young remained on the field after he was wounded,
caring for the wounded, and fell into the hands of the enemy. Pri
vates Thomas S. Cartright, Joseph L. Richardson and Henry E.
Welch, Fourth Georgia, are mentioned with distinction. The first
named fell with the colors of his regiment in his hand. Richardson
was wounded. Privates R. Dudley Hill and Thomas J. Dingier, two
lads in the Forty-fourth Georgia, attracted, in an especial manner,
the attention of their commander by their extraordinary daring."
After recrossing into Virginia the army moved slowly and the
troops had frequent opportunities for resting and recuperating. The
regiment camped several days on the Opequon creek and then moved
to a camp near Martinsburg, and in a day or two moved again to
Bunker Hill, where it camped for a week. Captain Winn, Com
pany K, was here promoted major in place of Major Smith, killed
at Sharpsburg. After camping in this neighborhood nearly three
weeks the regiment was ordered to a point on the Winchester and
Harper's Ferry railroad, three miles above Charlestown, and proceeded
to tear up the road. Remained here a few days and then marched
by easy stages through Berryville, Millwood and Ashby's Gap to
Paris. The enemy approaching here in force we fell back to Front
Royal and remained there two days in line of battle. The enemy
continuing to advance, the command retired to the north bank of the
Shenandoah river. A heavy fall of snow caused the enemy to retreat.
As soon as the snow disappeared the regiment moved to Strasburg
and assisted in tearing up the Manassas Gap railroad. While at
Strasburg Colonel Doles received his commission as brigadier-general.
Colonel Cook was promoted to colonel and Major Winn to lieuten
ant-colonel. No one was promoted to major at that time. Adjutant
F. T. Snead was appointed assistant adjutant-general on General
Doles' staff, and Lieutenant A.. J. Robert, Company E, was made
adjutant. Surgeon Philpot was promoted, and Assistant Surgeon W.
P. Young, who had been assigned to the regiment the previous sum
mer, was made regimental surgeon, and Howard Tinsley was ap-

pointed quartermaster in place of Captain Daniel, promoted. Left
this camp November 21 and marched down the Shenandoah Valley
to New Market and crossed the Blue Ridge mountains, and continued
the march through Madison Court House, Gordonsville, Orange
Court House, Guinea Station to Port Royal, on the Rappahannock,
where we remained a week. On the evening of December 12 we
were ordered to make a forced march to Fredericksburg, as Burnside
was crossing the river. The division occupied the right of the Con
federate line and did but little fighting, though it was under fire all
the time and the Fourth Georgia lost several men, killed and wounded.
The division then went into camp on Conway's Farm, where it re
mained until January 1, 1863, when it was moved back farther from
the river. While at this camp the Twelfth and Twenty-first Georgia
regiments were assigned to our brigade in place of the First and Third
North Carolina regiments, thus making it a Georgia brigade. While at
this camp the regiment worked on fortifications when not doing picket
duty. On February 9 moved camp to Grace Church about three
miles from Guinea Station, where we went into winter quarters.
Captain W. H. Willis, Company I, was here made major. We
remained here until April 29 when we received orders to move at
once, as the enemy was crossing the river. Marched to Hamilton's
crossing and formed line of battle behind breastworks, where we re
mained two days. On morning of May 1 the regiment marched
towards Chancellorsville, reaching there about dark, after having sev
eral times formed line of battle to repel anticipated attacks. About
sunup, May 20, General Jackson commenced his famous flank
movement, which was destined to be his last. We went through
fields, woods, by pastures, country roads and other places, where no
other leader than Jackson would have attempted to go, and no other
troops than his could have gone. After a very fatiguing march we
reached the stone pike running between Fredericksburg and Orange
Court House. Brigadier-General Rodes commanded our division in
place of D. H. Hill, and under General Jackson's directions placed
the troops. Doles' Brigade was on the right of the pike, and as the
Fourth Georgia was on the left of the brigade, its left was immediately
upon the road. Rodes' Brigade was on the left of the pike. These
two brigades were to make the attack, and the other brigades of the
division were to protect our flanks. About five o'clock General
Jackson rode up to General Rodes and told him to move in and oc
cupy the position he had told him about. Doles' Brigade was the

72 Doles-Cook Brigade.
guide, so General Rodes ordered General Doles to advance and take
that position, remarking, "If any brigades can go there, yours and
mine can." The two brigades then moved forward slowly through
the tangled undergrowth until our sharpshooters became engaged,
when General Doles took off his cap, raised himself in his stirrups,
gave a yell and shouted, " Charge them, boys.'' The men raised the
"rebel yell " and charged at a run. The enemy was taken entirely by
surprise and offered but feeble resistance. We emerged from the woods
behind their regular line of breastworks, and most of the Yankees
were scattered over the field cooking coffee and their guns were some
distance from them. They became panic-stricken and thought only
of safety by flight. We killed and captured a great many while our
loss was comparatively small, though we lost some of our best officers
and men. Colonel Cook was severely wounded and was taken from
the field. When near Chancellors House we were halted to reform
our lines. We had driven the enemy nearly three miles, most of
this on the run. General Jackson remarked to General Rodes
that he had never seen the enemy driven so far, so fast and in so
short a time. We slept on our arms that night. At sunup the next
day the command was ordered forward, and in going through some
thick woods General Doles and the Twelfth Georgia became detached
from the rest of the brigade and the Fourth, Twenty-first and Forty-
fourth went into the fight under Colonel Mercer, of the Twenty-first.
We charged across an open field fully exposed to the enemy's artil
lery. Our loss was so great that we moved into a piece of Woods
for protection. The enemy then shelled the woods, doing great
execution until they were flanked and driven off. Our regiment lost
very heavily here. The fighting was practically over for the day
and we rejoined General Doles. Later we took position behind the
plank road near Chancellors House and the next day built breast
works. The next day we moved across the road and built more
breastworks. When we awoke May 6 we found that the enemy
had retreated across the river during the night. It rained very hard
all the morning, and a little after noon we started back to our camp
at Grace Church, about fifteen miles distant.
The regiment remained at this camp until June 4, when it left
for a summer campaign. We marched by way of Spottsylvania
Court House, and camped the second night at Virdierville.
From here we marched to Culpeper Court House and camped
about three miles beyond the town on the Warrenton road. Early

History of the Fourth Georgia Regiment. 73
on the morning of June 9 we were ordered to make a forced march
to Brandy Station to reinforce Stewart's Cavalry, which had been at
tacked and driven back by a superior force. The Yankee cavalry re
tired as soon as it learned that infantry support was at hand. We
marched and countermarched all day, and, without having seen a
Yankee, we returned to Culpeper Court House. The next day the
march was continued, going by way of Gaine's crossroads and Flint
Hill. We crossed the Blue Ridge at Chester's Gap, and passing through
Front Royal, pushed on to Berryville, where we expected to meet the
enemy. We formed line of battle on the left of the road leading
from Millwood to Berryville, and, as the Yankee tents were still
standing, we expected immediate fighting. We advanced cautiously
through the camp and into the town without firing a gun. We dis
covered that the enemy had left so hurriedly that they didn't take
time to destroy anything and we secured a considerable quantity of
valuable stores. We left this place for Martinsburg, passing by Sum
mit Point and Bunker Hill. Our cavalry had been skirmishing with
a Yankee force at Martinsburg and we were hurried forward to their
assistance. We formed line of battle about sundown and advanced
upon the town.
The enemy retreated almost immediately, and several pieces of ar
tillery and a number of prisoners fell into our hands. We also cap
tured several thousand bushels of corn and oats which the Yankees
had vainly tried to burn. We destroyed a portion of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad here. We then marched to Williamsport, Mary
land. After several days' rest we moved to Hagerstown, and from
there to Greencastle, Pa. We remained here two days and left
for Carlisle, passing through Chambersburg and Shippenburg, where
we expected to encounter some Pennsylvania militia. We marched
into town unmolested and bivouacked in the campus of Dickinson
College. Left Carlisle on the morning of June 30, by way of the
Baltimore pike. Camped that night at Heidlersburg. On the
morning of July 1 we moved towards Gettysburg, and were soon
startled by rapid artillery firing in our front. Orders to "step-
out" were given and obeyed, and we soon came in sight of the
town. Our brigade was soon in line, with the Fourth Georgia on
the left. The Yankees had taken possession of a hill in our front.
It was a strong position and they soon made it very unpleasant
for us with their artillery. Finally General Doles gave the or
der to charge and the men responded with alacrity. The enemy

fired one volley, doing considerable execution, but before they could
reload our men were upon them. Lieutenant-Colonel Winn was
killed in this charge. The retreat of the enemy soon became a rout
and they fled panic-stricken to and through the town. The Yankee
loss in killed, wounded and missing was appalling. The Fourth Geor
gia here met and fought for the second time the Twenty-second In
diana, having previously encountered it at King's Schoolhouse. Our
command stopped in the town and bivouacked that day and the next in
the streets. On the night of July 2 our division was ordered to join
in an attack upon Cemetery Ridge, and formed line near the foot of
it, but owing to some confusion of orders the attack was not made.
The regiment was under heavy fire a portion of the time and lost sev
eral men. The regiment was not actively engaged again, although
continually under fire. A little after midnight of the 5th of July
the army commenced to retreat, Early's Division of Ewell's Corps
acting as rear guard. The enemy made no effort to molest us and
we camped that night at the foot of the Blue Ridge, at a little place
called Fairfield. Rodes' Division brought up the rear of the army
on July 6 and our brigade was next to rear. The enemy was more
aggressive than on the previous day, and we did little else than form
line of battle and throw out sharpshooters until about one o'clock,
after which we were not troubled. Camped at night between Water
loo and Waynesboro. Reached Hagerstown, Md., about ten o'clock
•on the morning of July 7. The Potomac river was so swollen
by recent rains that it was not fordable, so a position for defense
was selected and fortifications thrown up. Meade's army took posi
tion in our front, but made no demonstration, and as soon as the river
subsided we retired into Virginia, and camped at Martinsburg the
next night and to Darksville the next morning, where we remained for
several days. Marched through Winchester and Front Royal, and at
the latter place were ordered to support Wright's Brigade, which was
guarding a pass in the mountains and had been attacked by a greatly
¦superior force. We did not become actively engaged, but had two
men wounded. This day the command marched thirty-four miles
and was in line of battle over three hours. The regiment moved
. down the valley by way of Luray and crossed the Blue Ridge moun
tains at Thornton's Gap, and, passing through Madison Court House,
went into camp near Orange Court House, where it remained for a
month. On September 14 we were ordered to Summerville's ford,
on the Rapidan, to support our cavalry, but did no fighting. We

were then ordered to Morion's Ford for picket duty, and as this ford
was the easiest place for the enemy to cross we threw up strong forti
fications. Left this place October 8 and joined the army in its
.flank movement around Meade's army. We crossed the Rapidan at
-Borent's ford and marched through Madison and Culpeper counties,
using country roads and bypaths to conceal our movements from the
•enemy. On the 12th of October the regiment was engaged all day
in supporting cavalry at Jeffersonton, near Warrenton Springs. We
had several men wounded, among them Lieutenant Stephens, Com
pany E, commanding the Fourth Georgia Sharpshooters, and Eugene
Black, courier for General Doles. Lieutenant W. W. Hulbert, Com
pany D, was detailed to take command of the sharpshooters. The
/regiment was in no active engagement, and, besides tearing up rail
roads, did little except follow the army.
When the army recrossed the Rappahannock we were ordered to
Kelley's Ford, below Brandy Station. The army expected to spend
the winter here and the troops were ordered to build winter quarters.
•Considerable progress was made in this direction, but before they
¦were completed the army fell back across the Rapidan and the regi
ment went into camp at Moreton's ford, but was soon moved to Rac
coon Ford. We remained in this vicinity until November 27, when
Meade crossed the Rapidan at Germanna ford, and we started out to
meet him, which we did at Mine Run, a small creek between very high
hills. We acted as reserve during the day and about sundown were
ordered to the support of Ed Johnson's Division and came very near
being captured, as Johnson withdrew his forces as soon as we went in.
We held the enemy in check until the artillery could withdraw and then
retired with the loss of ten or twelve men. We threw up breast
works and remained in line of battle Until the morning of December
2, when we discovered that the enemy had retired across the river.
The regiment was not actively engaged again, nor was the army, but
no one who was present will ever forget the suffering we underwent
for two days, on account of a cold, cutting wind, which blew steadily
for two days and nights.
The regiment returned to Moreton's ford and did picket duty until
December 20, when it moved to a point on the old Orange Pike, a
few miles below the court-house. Here we went into regular winter
quarters and remained undisturbed until February 6, 1864, when the
¦eneiny crossed at Moreton's ford and we helped to drive them back.

76 Doles-Cook Brigade.
On May 4 we broke camp and, marching down the pike, camped
at Locust Grove, near Mine Run.
The next morning the march was resumed, but soon indications of
an approaching engagement became apparent, and about eleven o'clock
the opposing forces met and the battle of the Wilderness had com
menced. We formed line of battle parallel to, and about one hun
dred yards from the pike, facing to the right, with Fourth Georgia
on left of the brigade, joining the right of J. M. Jones' Virginia
Brigade. Jones' front, from some cause, was left exposed, and a sud
den attack by the enemy stampeded the command, leaving our flank
unprotected and we were attacked from front, flank and rear. The
regiment never showed to better advantage than in this emergency,.
for, notwithstanding the loss in killed and wounded was appalling,
when the order to change front was given the movement was-
effected without the least evidence of panic or nervousness.
The battle raged at close quarters until Gordon came to our
support, when the enemy was driven for a mile through the
dense undergrowth, leaving the ground strewn with its dead and
wounded. We reformed upon a ridge and remained in line until
nearly dark, when we moved to the left of the pike and assisted
Gordon in a night attack. The movement was entirely successful
and we returned to our former position and threw up breastworks.
There was no more fighting at this point, but the skirmishing was
heavy and continuous. On the morning of the 8th we were relieved
by Early's Division and moved to the right towards Spottsylvania
Court House, which point we reached about five o'clock, after a very
fatiguing march. The enemy was making for the same point and
the advance of the two armies reached it almost together. We imme
diately formed line of battle and drove the enemy from a position we
wished to occupy and lay upon our arms all night, as we supposed an
effort would be made to retake it.
The next day one of our sharpshooters, Sergeant Charles D. Grace,
Company B, while on picket, shot and killed General Sedgewick, one
of the most prominent officers of the Federal army. General Sedge
wick was superintending the construction of some redouts, and, as he
was more than half a mile from our picket line, considered himself
perfectly safe. Sergeant Grace was a fine shot and was armed with
one of the few Whitworth rifles in our army, which made the deed
not only practicable but simple. We threw up breastworks on the
edge of a small clearing which sloped gently to a dense thicket

about two hundred yards in front. On the morning of the 10th the
enemy drove in our pickets and occupied this piece of woods. Our
line was so completely dominated by this movement that our men could
not show their heads above the works. The enemy had massed quite
a large force under cover of the trees and a little before six o'clock
charged our position with five columns. Our men gave them a warm
reception and killed and wounded hundreds of them, but were soon
overwhelmed and forced to retire, leaving many prisoners. The Yan
kees followed us, but we soon rallied and drove them back and soon
retook the works. We were then withdrawn from the front and placed
in the reserve line, where we remained until the morning of the 12th.
Johnson's position was attacked about sunup and soon the engagement
became general. We were hurried to the right about half a mile and
soon became engaged. We drove the enemy back and held the position
for the remainder of the day. On the 17th we made a reconnaissance
to our left, but beyond some brisk sharpshooting nothing came of it.v
Grant continued his flank movement towards Richmond, and we
moved accordingly. At Hanover Junction we had quite a spirited
engagement without decisive results. We moved nearer to Richmond,
and on the 27th met the enemy again at Bethesda Church and desul
tory fighting continued all day, the enemy finally retiring. We threw
up earthworks and remained until June 2, when we were ordered
to Cold Harbor, where Grant had massed a large force. As we were
getting into position General Doles was shot and instantly killed. He
was the only one in the brigade struck during the day. Colonel
Cook, of the Fourth Georgia, assumed command of the brigade and
Lieutenant-Colonel Willis took charge of the regiment. After this
battle Grant crossed the James and the siege of Petersburg was com
menced. But the Fourth Georgia did not participate in the opera
tions around Petersburg at this time. A short while after the battle
of Cold Harbor, Early's Corps, to which the regiment had been
attached, started from the valley to drive back the Federals under
Hunter, who was advancing upon Lynchburg, burning and plunder
ing as he came. By rapid and forced marches Lynchburg was reached
in time to save it, and Hunter was driven across the mountains into
West Virginia. This left the valley open and we marched down it
unmolested and occupied Winchester, July 2. Sigel retired across
the Potomac and we followed. On the 9th the Yankees were defeated
at the Monocacy river, and we advanced to Frederick City. Valua
ble supplies were obtained here and we proceeded to invest Washing-

ton, Rodes' Division in front, and on the 11th engaged the enemy's
skirmishers, driving tnem back into the city. On the evening of the
12th we had a sharp skirmish. That night we retired and on the 14th
we recrossed the Potomac. During the next month we remained in
the neighborhood of Winchester without any regular engagement,
but with enough skirmishing to keep us on the alert. On September
19 the battle of Winchester was fought, and we retired late in the day
on account of being flanked. The battle of Fisher's Hill was fought
on the 22d, and we were again repulsed with heavy loss. In both
these battles we were outnumbered three to one, as is shown by the
official records. On October 19 the battle of Cedar Creek occurred.
We achieved a brilliant victory during the morning and had every
thing our own way, but the tide turned in the evening and we were
forced to retire before vastly superior numbers. Our loss was very
heavy and we retired to New Market, where we remained until Novem
ber 10, when we again advanced down the valley, and after skirmish
ing for a day or two with the enemy near Cedar Creek, we returned
to New Market. On the 19th we met the enemy at Rudes' Hill and
defeated them. Early in December we left the valley and rejoined
the army under General Lee at Petersburg. From this time the his
tory of the regiment was synonymous with that of other regiments in
the Army of Northern Virginia, and nobly performed its part in the
daily fighting which was rapidly decimating the ranks of that immor
tal body of men, and rapidly leading up to the inevitable end. The
regiment was conspicuously engaged at Fort Steadman, and the attack
ing party from Cook's Brigade was led by the gallant Captain Carson
of Company I, Fourth Georgia. It fell back from Petersburg with
General Lee, and the final day at Appomattox found it in line of bat
tle as ready to obey Gordon's order to charge as it was to obey the calk
to arms when the tocsin of war sounded in 1861.

county after the surrender and continued iu business there until his
death, which occurred several years ago.
Lieutenant- Colonel John J. Mathews was the ante-bellum
captain of the West Point Guards, and was elected lieutenant-colonel

command through all the campaigns, and in all the battles in which it
participated, winning the encomiums of the general under whom he
served and enjoying the confidence and admiration of all his comrades
in arms. While gallantly leading his regiment in a charge in the
first day's battle of Gettysburg, Pa., he died a soldier's glorious-
death. His comrades will ever cherish his memory until all cross over

with himself, and in love with the world and the fullness thereof.
No gathering of ex-Confederates is complete without he is present,
and whenever he is there, it is by a very large majority. He is gen
erally the central and controlling spirit in any assembly that he may
chance to be in. The boys all love and enjoy his company. May he
be spared many years to shed sunlight and happiness upon his ad
miring friends.

Richmond. There is not a more enthusiastic ex-Confederate in the
South, and none that loves the Lost Cause more dearly. A reunion
without his presence would loose much of its interest to his many ad
miring friends, for he is the prince of good fellows. He is now an in
fluential citizen of the city of Atlanta, Ga., and holds the respon
sible position of division superintendent with the Southern Express-
Company. Captain Barnard Curley organized and commanded the South
ern Rifles several years before the war. While he and the greater-
number of the company officers that composed the regiment in 1861.
did not participate in the battles in which the regiment was engaged,.
they did an excellent work in drilling and moulding it into the splenr
did fighting machine it became. He returned to Talbotton on the-
reorganization of the regiment in April, 1862, and continued to reside-

life, but actuated by an exalted patriotism, went as a private with the-
first company that left his county. At the reorganization of the regi
ment he was elected first lieutenant and upon the death of Captain.

•our batteries on Morris Island, S. C. He was ever at the post of
duty, and always careful of the comfort of his men. He is now a
resident of Gabbett, Ala.

lorsville. Elected sheriff of Twiggs county, Georgia, and resigned Jan
uary, 1864. He was a gallant soldier, and yet lives among his few sur
viving comrades, enjoying the respect and confidence of every one.
Captain Jeremiah Sanders was fourth sergeant of Company C
when it went out, and rose by merit to be captain of it in 1864. He
was a brave man and well deserved the honors he won in many bat
tles. He came home after the surrender; has since joined the great
majority. Captain Adam C. Frost was second sergeant of the West Point
Guards when it went out, elected first lieutenant in 1862, and was pro
moted captain in July the same year. He was a gallant soldier, at
tentive to the wants of his men and loved by every one. He died
a soldier's death, fighting like a lion at bay at Winchester, Va.,
September 19, 1864, one of the South's great host of martyrs in the
cause of liberty.
Captain George Fauntleroy Todd was regarded by his friends
as the most brilliant and promising officer of the Fourth Georgia
Regiment. While at Camp Jackson, Va., his company presented him
with a beautiful sword, in a brass scabbard elaborately embossed, and
having the letters C. S. over an eagle. The sword was beautifully
figured. On one side was inscribed in large German text, "George F.
Todd from West Point Guards, 1862." On the reverse side the firm
name "E. J. Johnston & Co.," Macon, Ga., appeared, and in large
monogram letters "C. S.," and two Confederate flags crossed, and

above them two cannons crossed. Captain Todd had enjoyed the ad
vantages of military training at the Georgia Military Institute. He-
was familiar with tactics, popular with the regiment, and idolized by
his company. Brave to a fault, and had be lived higher honors
awaited him. But alas ! in the morning of life, stainless as Bayard,
chivalrous as any knight that ever wielded a sword, in that hopeless
charge upon overwhelming numbers at Malvern Hill, he fell at the
head of his company, an irreparable loss to the regiment.
Captain Y. G. Rust, as captain of the Albany Guards, entered the
service in April, 1861, and remained until the expiration of its term-
of enlistment. He was an intelligent, refined and true gentleman, and
did much to bring the regiment to that state of discipline for which it
was always celebrated. He died in Albany, Ga., in 1901.
Captain William E. Smith was mustered into service as first
lieutenant of Company E, and became captain by the retirement of"
Captain Rust. He was a brave and promising officer and a severe loss-
to the regiment, when, by the loss of his leg at King's Schoolhouse,
he was compelled to quit the service. Returning home, he engaged
in the practice of law, and after the war was elected to Congress and
served for several terms, making a fine reputation for his ability, and,
attention to the interests of his constituents. He died in Albany,
Ga., several years ago.
Captain Henry C. Williams, of Company E, served for a year
in the ranks. Elected second lieutenant in 1862, and afterwards pro
moted captain in 1864. He served with honor through the war, re
turned home after the surrender and made his home in Baker county,.
where he resided until his death, which occurred in 188-.
Captain Blair R. Mayes carried Company F from Gordon
county to Virginia as its captain, and remained with it during its
twelve months' enlistment. He then returned home, being exempt
by reason of age. Like all the first captains of the regiment he was a
man of fine character, and left his mark for good upon hia men. He-
died in Sumter county, Georgia, in 1895.
Captain George W. Cary was mustered into service as second
lieutenant of Company F, and was elected captain when Captain
Mayes returned home. He resigned in 1862 and joined the Fourth
Georgia Cavalry and was promoted captain of his company. After
ward he was promoted major of his regiment for gallant and merito-

tleman. He was killed on the hard-fought field of Franklin, Tenn.
Captain James S. Sullivan entered the service as second lieu
tenant of the Toombs' Volunteers in 1861, and on the resignation of
Captain Cary succeeded him. He served with distinction until killed
in the Valley Campaign in 1864. His company and county are justly
proud of him as one of the heroes of the Lost Cause.
Captain Joseph McConnell, beginning as corporal, rose by
merit successively until he became captain of the Toombs' Volunteers.
In the desperate attack on Fort Steadman on the 25th of March,
1865, he lost a leg and fell into the hands of the enemy. He was a
fine officer, and ready at all times to respond to every call of duty.
He died in Gordon county, Georgia, in 1890.
Captain George T. Bartlett took the Glover Guards to Vir
ginia and served as captain during its first term of enlistment. He
then returned home and resumed the practice of law, and became
judge of the Ocmulgee Circuit. Although he saw no active service
with the regiment he was a fine officer and made his company, by his
energy and intelligence, one of the best in the service. He died a
good many years ago in Monticello, Ga.
Captain John T. Lane was first sergeant of Company G, elected
second lieutenant in August, 1861, and promoted to captain when the
regiment was reorganized. He was killed while leading his men in
the battle of Gettysburg on July 1, 1863. He was a brave man and
a model officer, and died a hero's death iu defense of the rights of the
South. Captain Cullen R. Ezell, of Company G, entered the service as
corporal in 1861, and at the reorganization was elected second lieu
tenant and promoted captain in July, 1863. Was wounded and cap
tured in the battle of the Wilderness and held in prison until the close
of the war. He was one of the six hundred Confederate officers ex
posed to the fire of our batteries on Morris Island, S. C. He was a
brave soldier, prompt to respond to every call of duty, and enjoyed
the respect and confidence alike of officers and men. He now lives
in Huron, Putnam county, Ga.
Captain Jacob M. Caraker, entering the army as first lieutenant
of the Baldwin Blues, became captain by seniority in consequence
of General Doles' promotion to the colonelcy. He proved himself
worthy to wear the mantle of his gallant predecessor, and served with

88 Doles-Cook Brigade.
honor until failing health necessitated his resignation in 1862. He
was wounded in the battle of Sharpsburg, Md. He is yet living in
Milledgeville, Ga., surrounded by troops of life-long friends.
Captain Wallace Butts was one of the unselfish patriots who
responded to the call of his country and went out as a private in the
Baldwin Blues. Was elected second lieutenant and afterwards pro
moted first lieutenant, and subsequently captain. At Chancellors
ville he lost a hand, and in 1864 lost a leg and fell into the hands of the
enemy near Washington, D. C. He was kept in prison until the close
of the war, then returned to his home in Baldwin county, Ga. , where
he died in 1891. He was a splendid soldier, brave to recklessness,
devoted to the cause, a hero in deed and in truth.
Captain Samuel M. Prothro, at the outbreak of the war, was a
physician of large practice and high reputation. He went out as cap
tain of Company I, and served in that capacity during the term for
which he had enlisted. As did nearly all the first captains of the
regiment, he returned home at the end of twelve months, where he con
tinued to reside until his death, which occurred several years after the
close of the war.
Captain Joseph P. Carson was one of the many educated gen
tlemen who, inspired by a pure and lofty patriotism, enlisted and went
to the front as private soldiers in 1861 to suffer and, in many cases, to
die in defense of the rights of the South. When the twelve months
expired he was elected junior second lieutenant, and in a short time
first lieutenant, and in 1863 captain. He was wounded at Sharps
burg, at the Wilderness, at Winchester, and twice at the siege of Pe
tersburg, He commanded Gordon's Division Sharpshooters at the
close of the war. He was a gallant soldier, a model officer, and
everywhere and at all times a modest gentleman and a consistent
Christian. He made his home after the war in Reynolds, Ga., where
he died March 25, 1889.
Captain William L. Johnson, of Company K, was one of the
original captainB of the Fourth Georgia, who did much to give tone
and character to that splendid regiment. He retired at the expira
tion of his term of enlistment, and entered the Quartermaster's De
partment under Major George W. Grice, where he remained until the
close of the war. He is a man of high character and unblemished
reputation, and is yet living in Macon, Ga., respected and honored by
a large circle of friends.

Captain Robert M. Bisell was one of that great host of heroes
¦who gave their lives to the Lost Cause. Going out as second sergeant
he was elected second lieutenant in April, 1862, and in July there
after promoted first lieutenant, and the following October promoted
captain of the Sumter Light Guards. In that glorious charge upon
Howard's Corps at Chancellorsville, Va. , he fell at the head of his
men with their victorious cheers ringing in his ears. No brighter,
braver soldier fell upon the field of honor than Bob Bisell.
Captain Jerry C. Macon went forth as a private in Company K
in 1861. Was elected junior second lieutenant, and rose by promo
tion to be captain in May, 1863. In the fierce and bloody battle of
the Wilderness on the 5th of May, 1864, he gave his life for the cause
he loved so well. As he had lived he died, faithful to every trust,
true to every call of duty.
Captain John M. Shiver went to the war as first corporal in the
Sumter Light Guards, was elected second lieutenant in the spring of
1863, and in July was promoted first lieutenant. He served in this
•capacity, making a fine record for conspicuous gallantry. In May,
1864, he became captain, and at the surrender of Lee's army was in
•command of the regiment. Returning home at the end of the war
he applied himself with the same energy to the pursuits of civil life
ifhat had characterized him as a soldier. He died at his home in
-Sumter county, Georgia, several years ago.
Lieutenant John T. Blount was enlisted as first corporal of the
Southern Rifles, April 26, 1861. In June, 1861, he was promoted
fourth sergeant; in April, 1862, junior second lieutenant, and in July
of the same year second lieutenant. Was wounded at Malvern Hill
-and Gettysburg. Resigned in March, 1864, and enlisted in Com
pany A, Second Kentucky Cavalry of Morgan's Command. He was
a gallant and faithful soldier, and no one loves the cause better than
•he does. He reads nearly all the histories published in regard to the
war, especially those by Southern authors, and is well posted as to
all movements made and battles fought from 1861 to 1865. His
reading is not confined to this class of literature, for he is a great
lover of books, and is well posted on almost any subject that can be
mentioned. He is a resident of Atlanta, Ga.
Lieutenant James L. Greer was mustered into service as a
private in the West Point Guards, Company D, Fourth Georgia
.Regiment, April 26, 1861. Afterwards he was promoted until he

became junior second lieutenant of his company. He was severely
wounded and captured at Spottsylvania, Va., on the 10th of May,.
1864, in a hand-to-hand conflict with the enemy while in command
of the Twiggs Volunteers, Company C, it having lost all of its com
missioned officers in the battle of the Wilderness on the 5th of May,
Was one of the six hundred Confederate officers who were exposed to-
the fire of our batteries on Morris Island, S. G; he was then trans
ferred to Beaufort Island, S. C, and paroled in December, 1864.
He moved to Texas in 1866, and has prospered in business.
Elected to the General Assembly of his adopted State, and served
for four years. During his term of office introduced a bill to pension
Confederate Veterans, he being the first and prime mover for the re
lief of the Southern soldiers. He takes much interest in the organ
ization and establishment of Confederate camps, and is an enthusiastic
lover of the memories of our heroic struggle for independence. He
was a brave and good soldier, and has the love and respect of his
comrades. Lieutenant William S. Evans was a private in the LaGrange
Light Guards when it was mustered into service on the 26th of April,
1861. Was promoted junior second lieutenant in 1862, and lost a
leg at Monocacy, Md., July 9, 1864. There was not a better or
braver soldier in the Confederate Army. He is one of the most
popular citizens of Troup county. An enthusiastic ex-Confederate,
with views of his own, ready and willing at all times to serve his
comrades as faithfully as he did the Confederacy. He is a broad-
minded and true gentleman of the old school. May long life, pros
perity and happiness be in store for him, and when life's work is
done may his spirit cross over the river and rest in the sunlight of"
supreme happiness. He is now a resident of LaGrange, Ga.
Lieutenant Robert B. Ridley entered the service as a private
in the LaGrange Light Guards. Afterwards he was promoted to-
the position of sergeant and then junior second lieutenant.
Wounded in the shoulder and leg at Spottsylvania, Vav and surren
dered with Lee's army at Appomattox Court House, Va. He is of
a kind and happy disposition, a perfect Chesterfield in his manners,
and withal one of the cleverest of men. He was an accomplished
and brave soldier, and ever ready to face any danger or answer the
call of duty. Every member of his regiment and brigade loved and
respected him for his many good qualities. He is now a prominent

citizen and noted physician of Atlanta, Ga., and his fame as a healer
of disease is not confined to his home city, but is recognized through
out the State.
John H. Traylor enlisted as a private in the LaGrange Light
Guards, Company B, Fourth Georgia Regiment, on the 26th of April,.
1861. Wounded at Warrenton Springs, Chancellorsville and Spott
sylvania, Va. After the battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864,
he was appointed to a position in the quartermaster's department on
account of disability caused by the wound received at Spottsylvania,..
Va. He served in this position until the surrender of Lee's army.
He moved to Texas in 1867, and has served five years as sheriff and
tax-collector, two years in the House of Representatives, four years as
State senator, and two years as mayor of Dallas. He was a brave
and good soldier, and his record in his adopted State has been honora
ble and conspicuous. The memories of the sixties are still dear to
him, and he attends nearly all of the Confederate reunions. His com
rades in Georgia are proud of the record he has made in the "Lone
Star" State.
Charles D. Grace was a private in the LaGrange Light Guards
when mustered into service in April, 1861. He was promoted ser
geant in the corps of sharpshooters, and it is the general belief with
members of Doles' Brigade that he killed General Sedgwick, as he
used a globe-sighted rifle, and shot at a group of officers, when one of
them fell at the spot at which it was afterwards learned that Sedge-
wick was killed. General Doles, in his report of the engagements
near Mine Run, Va., says : "I would respectfully mention private
Charles Grace of Company B, Fourth Georgia, for special gallantry.
He and eighteen other sharpshooters came across the enemy's rear
guard, numbering about three hundred, posted behind an embank
ment on the plank road, charged and captured one hundred and
thirty-seven of the enemy. He was a brave and gallant soldier.
He surrendered at Appomattox, Va., and afterward moved to Bon-
ham, Texas, where he is a prominent lawyer. At present he is a
member of the State senate. He still loves the cause for which he
fought, and can be seen at all our annual reunions.
Lieutenant Gustavus A. Bull was mustered into service as
junior second lieutenant in the LaGrange Light Guards, Company
B, Fourth Georgia Regiment, April 26, 1861. Resigned and was
promoted lieutenant-colonel of the Thirty-fifth Georgia, October 15,

'92 Doles-Cook Brigade.
1861. He was born in LaGrange, Ga., 1835, entered Franklin
College and was graduated with the first honor in 1854. After
teaching school for several years, read law, and located in Newnan,
Ga. He soon won a high reputation in his chosen profession, and in
1860 was one of the Breckinridge electors. Senator B. H. Hill
¦pronounced him the most promising young man in the South. He
was a strict disciplinarian, but always courteous and kind to his men
and thoughtful of their comfort. On the 31st of May, 1862, on the
battle-field of Seven Pines, this bright star went down in blood.
Early in the engagement General Pettigrew was badly wounded and
the command of the brigade devolved upon Colonel E. L. Thomas,
Lieutenant-Colonel Bull then assumed command of his regiment and
led it in a desperate charge upon a battery which was pouring upon
them a murderous fire of grape and cannister. The column halted
and began to waver, when, riding in front of it, Colonel Bull gave the-
-command, " forward," and appealed to the men to follow him. At
'that moment he fell mortally wounded and the regiment retreated in
¦confusion, leaving him in the hands of the enemy. He died the
following day and was buried by the enemy and fills an unknown
grave. The whole regiment admired and loved him. One of its
members expressed the sentiments of all when he wrote to Colonel
Bull's father : " The crushed and broken hearts that mourn the loss
•of the hero of the Thirty-fifth Georgia are not confined to your
family circle." General Pettigrew, commanding the brigade, said :
" If there was a better officer in the army than Colonel Bull, and one
to whom the prospect of distinction in any department of life was
-brighter, I did not know him. He was indeed a loss to his country."
The soil of the Old Dominion will forever be sacred because in it rests
in their bloody gray so many of the hero martyrs of the South. As
long as the South is trod by men worthy to be free, all honor will be
-accorded her sons of the sixties, and their heroism and devotion will
•be an example and inspiration for all time to come.

Regimental Poem. 93,
MEMORIES.
BY MRS. W. H. WILLIS.
Never was step more steady as the " band-box soldiers" filed
Out from the famed "Camp Jackson," while the gods looked down and
smiled
On troops so fair and graceful in their stainless garb of gray ;
Each man ready, each man panting, for the thickest of the fray.
They were leaving there in Portsmouth, in the city of her dead,
The first brave Georgia soldier who had bowed his gallant head
On the soil of Old Virginia, pillowed on a spot so fair,
Where many a woman's tears had fallen above his golden hair.
He had yielded, ere the battle came, to power none dare defy,
And in a stranger land, poor boy, had lain him down to die.
But he was sweetly sleeping in his calm, untroubled rest,
While fair hands strewed earth's loveliest flowers above his quiet breast
And his comrades all were hasting to a fierce baptismal fire —
Not a laggard in the ranks, from sturdy boy to gray-haired sire ;
Each with a picture in his heart of a dear Southern home —
Oh heaven, guard the homes till these brave wanderers shall come.
How they illustrated Georgia all along the well-fought front,
As 'mid the thickest of the fight they bore the battle's brunt.
How proudly waved the Southern Cross where'er their lot was cast ;
Ah, Hill, the "band-box soldiers" are the fighting force at last.
The patrician was the private, high of soul and pure of blood,
And as if in armor clad, lo, how invincible he stood ;
And on the weary road, anon, a soldier without fear,
He marched along with bleeding feet and sang a song of cheer.
Many moons had waned, yet they, on either stormy side
Of the Classic Old Potomac, sternly fought and bravely died,
Grim death had aimed his cruel shaft at many a shining mark,
And had crossed the Stygian river with his over-laden barque.
Tongue of mortal ne'er can tell it, history can never show
Half the valor of the Southron as he met his Northern foe ;
While nations gazed, awestricken, on the bitter, unmatched fray ;
Marvelling the while they looked upon the troop who wore the gray.
Oh, grand old uniform of gray, so faded, worn and old,
Ye covered many a princely form and many a heart of gold ;
What if they wore the rough old jeans in the dark hour of need ?
"A man's a man for a' that, and these be men indeed."

Note.— When after the evacuation of Norfolk the Fourth Georgia reached Richmond,.
the troops -who had been through the Peninsula Campaign dubbed them the band-box
soldiers, because they were so well uniformed and so neat and clean.

"94 Doles-Cook Brigade.
On the fatal field, Cold Harbor, there their gallant leader fell,
And strong mon looked their last upon the form they loved so well,
While pale lips whispered to sad hearts so full of grief and pride,
"He had lived long enough who in his country's cause had died. "
Died at his post : O record meet for such exalted souls,
Who shall a fitter tribute ask for our beloved Doles?
His life was o'er, mysterious fate denied him victory,
But blessed him at last with glorious immortality.
Let us raise a fair white tablet o'er our honored chieftain's breast,
That shall tell in living words of him so early crowned and blest ;
•Of deathless love and memory, fresh from our hearts aglow,
And reverent passers-by shall say, "Behold, they loved him so."
There is no love like this, it fills his soldiers' hearts to-day ;
Its height and depth be measured not, it fadeth not away ;
'Twas born upon the battle-field where brave men's souls were tried,
It burns in every warrior's heart, whatever fate betide.
And sweet shall be his slumber in his own sunny clime,
Eor he sleeps in dear Old Georgia, where for all the coming time
His flashing sword is sheathed, and with its wearer is laid down,
And the laurel wreath is but exchanged for the immortal crown.

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment.

CHAPTER III.
In the city of Richmond, Va., on the 26th day of June, 1861, the-
Twelftb Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry, was organized and»
mustered into the service of the Confederate States of America for a
period of three years, or during the continuance of the war. Edward
Johnson (who had resigned his commission as captain and brevet
major of the Sixth Infantry in the United States Army, on the 10th
day of June, 1861,) was appointed colonel; Z. T. Conner, lieutenant-
colonel ; Abner Smead, major ; Edward Willis (who had resigned a&
a cadet from the West Point Military Academy), adjutant ; H. K.
Green, surgeon ; Robert J. Lightfoot, commissary ; Henry K. McKay,
quartermaster ; W. P. Pledger, chaplain ; William D. Elam, sergeant-
major ; B. M. McGettrick, hospital steward ; Harper Black, commis
sary sergeant ; John K. Harmon, quartermaster-sergeant, and John
K. Warren, ordnance-sergeant.
The regiment was composed of the following companies, to wit :
Muckalee Guards, Company A, Willis A. Hawkins, captain ; Jones
County Volunteers, Company B, Peyton T. Pitts, captain ; Davis
Rifles, Company C, John McMillan, captain ; Calhoun Rifles, Com
pany D, William L. Furlow, captain ; Muscogee Rifles, Company E,.
Thaddeus B. Scott, captain ; Davis Guards, Company F, William F.
Brown, captain ; Putnam Light Infantry, Company G, Richard T.
Davis, captain ; Central City Blues, Company H, James G. Rodgersv
captain ; Lowndes County Volunteers, Company I, James W. Patter
son, captain ; and the Marion Guards, Company K, Mark H. Bland-
ford, captain. The companies were from the following counties in the
order named, viz.: Sumter, Jones, Macon, Calhoun, Muscogee, Dooly,
Putnam, Bibb, Lowndes and Marion. Orders for them to rendezvous
in Richmond were received on the following dates, to wit : Companies
B and H, June 9; D, June 10; F, June 11; I, June 14; A,.
C, E, G, and K, June 15, 1861. Each of the companies were or
ganized and had tendered their services to the Confederate Govern
ment some time previous to the dates on which they received orders to'

report for duty in Richmond, Va. The regiment was ordered to West
Virginia, and left by rail for Staunton, Va., July 7, 1861. Upon
their arrival they were marched toward Laurel Hill for the purpose
of reinforcing General Garnettnear Greenbrier river. Before reach -
ing there, however, they met the defeated and retreating command of
General Garnett, who had been killed near Carrick's Ford, on the
13th of June, 1861. The regiment was then ordered to Monterey,
where it remained until early in August, when it was ordered to Camp
Bartow, on the Greenbrier river, at the head of a little valley known
as Traveler's Repose.
During the month of August, 1861, General Robert E. Lee was
assigned to the command of all the troop3 in the Department of West
Virginia. Soon after assuming command he learned that the rear of
the Federal position on Cheat Mountain could be reached by infantry.
He therefore decided to send an expedition against them, and fixed
upon September 12 as the date on which the attack should be made.
Colonel Rust, of the Third Arkansas Regiment, was to make the at
tack, and General Anderson with two Tennessee regiments was to
support him. Henry R. Jackson's Brigade was to advance from Green
brier river and Loring's command was to march from Huntersville,
both to assist in the movement. Jackson's command was preceded by
one hundred men from the First and Twelfth Georgia Regiments, com
manded by Lieutenant Dawson of the Twelfth Georgia, whose duty it
was to attack the enemy's pickets. After this was accomplished
they were mistaken for Federals while on their way to rejoin their re
spective commands, and several shots were fired by both sides before
the mistake was discovered ; two men were killed and one wounded.
All of the troops reached the positions assigned them promptly and
at the time designated. General Anderson was in supporting dis
tance of Colonel Rust, but he was not aware of the fact, and he failed
to make the attack as ordered because of his failure to hear from
General Anderson. The troops were then withdrawn to their original
positions because the only hope of success was in surprising the enemy,
and when this became impossible the intended attack was abandoned.
While on this expedition twenty- five or thirty Federals were killed
and seventy-five prisoners taken. The loss of the Confederates was
very small.

196 Doles-Cook Brigade.
BATTLE OF GREENBRIER RIVER.
On the 3d day of October, 1861, Henry R. Jackson's command
•was attacked by the Federals at Greenbrier river, and the engage
ment lasted from seven o'clock in the morning to two thirty o'clock in
4he afternoon. The Federals were defeated and retired in confusion,
leaving their killed and wounded at different points along the route as
4,hey fled, throwing away guns, knapsacks, canteens and everything
that had a tendency to retard their flight. Their loss in killed and
wounded was from two hundred and fifty to three hundred, among
ithem one officer of superior rank. Our loss did not exceed fifty in
killed and wounded. It was estimated that the Federals had from six
•to seven thousand men in this engagement, while the Confederate force
did not exceed two thousand. Our advance pickets were driven in
•early in the morning. About seven o'clock this force was reinforced
to one hundred, and Colonel Johnson commanded them in person and
posted them on the right side of the turnpike about one mile from
•our lines. They held the Federals in check for one hour, and poured
a galling fire into their ranks. Even after they had been attacked by
infantry and six pieces of artillery they held their ground until out
flanked on the right, then retired in perfect order.
During the engagement Colonel Johnson had his horse killed under
him, and for his gallant and meritorious conduct General Jackson
complimented him in his official report of this battle.
When Loring's forces were withdrawn from West Virginia they were
assigned to General "Stonewall" Jackson's Command. Henry R. Jack
son's Brigade was left at Camp Alleghany under command of Colonel
Edward Johnson of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment.

BATTLE OP ALLEGHANY MOUNTAIN.
On the 13th of December, 1861, Colonel Johnson's command was
attacked by General Reynolds, who commanded the whole of the ene
my's forces, and was assisted by General Milroy, who commanded the
attack on his right. The Federal force amounted to five thousand, and
the Confederates did not exceed twelve hundred effective men of all
arms. Colonel Johnson states in his official report of this battle that —
"The enemy left upon the field thirty-five dead and thirteen
wounded. They carried from the field large numbers of dead and

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 197
wounded. Ten or twelve ambulances were seen conveying their
wounded. . . . Our casualties amounted to twenty killed, ninety-
six wounded and twenty-eight missing. Many of the missing have re
turned since the day of the battle. I am much indebted to Surgeons-
H. R. Green, of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, and W. T. Blance,.
of the Thirty-first Virginia Volunteers, for their attention to our
wounded as well as those of the enemy. . . .
"Lieutenant Moore, Twelfth Georgia Volunteers, whilst gallantly
leading a charge, fell mortally wounded. This gallant officer was ever
ready for any expedition involving danger ; he was truly brave.
Captains Davis, Blandford, Hardeman and Hawkins, their officers and
men, behaved admirably. Captain Davis and his company were con
spicuous for their gallantry and good conduct. The Federals were
defeated and retreated in confusion to their old camp."
Honorable J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of War, in a communication
to Brigadier-General Edward Johnson, dated December 23, 1861,.
writes : " . . . I am happy to add that the President readily
and cheerfully assented to my suggestion that you should be promoted
to the rank of brigadier-general, as a mark of his approval of your
conduct, and your nomination will accordingly be this day sent in to
the Congress, and take date from the day of the battle." It appears
from the above official notice that Colonel Edward Johnson, of the
Twelfth Georgia Regiment, was promoted brigadier-general December
13, 1861.
Resolution of thanks to Colonel Edward Johnson, his officers and
men, for services in the battle of Alleghany Mountain :
"First, Resolved by the Congress of the Confederate States of
America, That the thanks of Congress are due, and are hereby ten
dered, to Colonel Edward Johnson, and to the officers and men under
his command, for gallant and meritorious services at the summit of
Alleghany Mountain, in Virginia, on the 13th day of December,
1861, when, for more than six hours, they, with remarkable courage
and constancy, sustained an assault made upon their position by four
fold their number, and finally drove the enemy in disorder and with*
heavy loss from the field.
"Second, That the foregoing resolution be communicated to said com
mand by the Secretary of War, and be made known in general or
ders." (See volume 51, series 1, part 2 (supplement), "War of the=
Rebellion.")

198 Doles-Cook Brigade.
BATTLE OF McDOWELL.
The battle of McDowell was fought on the 8th of May, 1862. The
Federal force was commanded by General Milroy, and the Confeder
ates by Brigadier- General Edward Johnson, to whom General "Stone
wall" Jackson had intrusted the management of the troops engaged
in this battle. General Johnson moved in the direction of the enemy
on the morning of the 7th, followed by the brigades of General Talia
ferro, Colonel Campbell and General Winder. All of General John
son's regiments were used in securing the hill. The Fifty- second
Virginia was posted on the left as skirmishers, and it soon became
hotly engaged with the skirmishers of the enemy, whom they repulsed
handsomely. It was not long after this when the other three regi
ments arrived. The Twelfth Georgia was posted on the crest of the
hill which formed the center of our line ; the Fifty-eighth Virginia on
the left to support the Fifty-second Virginia, and the Forty-ninth
Virginia on the right of our line near a ravine. Milroy had been re
inforced by Schenck during the day, and determined to make a direct
attack on the hill occupied by our troops. The enemy advanced in
force along the western slope of the hill, being protected by the char
acter of the ground and woods in our front, and drove our skirmishers
before them, and when his troops emerged from the woods poured a
galling fire into our right. Our troops returned the fire and a brisk en
gagement was kept up for some time. The Twenty-fifth and Thirty-first
Virginia Regiments were then brought up and posted on the right.
The firing on both sides was rapid and the conflict raged fiercely. The
engagement became general now along our entire line. The situation
became serious and General Taliaferro's Brigade came to our relief.
The Twenty-third and Thirty-seventh Virginia Regiments were sent to
support the center, which was occupied by the Twelfth Georgia Regi
ment with heroic gallantry, and the Tenth Virginia was ordered tothe
support of the Fifty-second Virginia, which had driven the enemy
from our left and was engaged in making a flank movement on the
enemy's line. At this moment the Federals endeavored to flank our
position on the right by advancing a strong column, but were promptly
met by General Taliaferro's Brigade, the Twelfth Georgia Regiment
and several companies of the Twenty-fifth and Thirty-first Virginia
Regiments. The battle raged from four thirty to eight thirty p.m.
with terrific violence. All attempts of the enemy to advance up
the hill were repulsed with fearful slaughter. The Federals in their

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 199
retreat left their dead unburied, burned their stores at McDowell and
•destroyed large quantities of ammunition, camp equipage, etc.
General Jackson, in his official report of this engagement, says :
"General Johnson, to whom I had intrusted the management of the
troops engaged, proved himself eminently worthy of the confidence
reposed in him by the skill, gallantry and presence of mind which he
displayed on the occasion. Having received a wound near the close
of the engagement which compelled him to leave the field, he turned
over the command to General Taliaferro."
Our victory was complete. The enemy lost between five hundred
and one thousand, killed and wounded. Their dead were found piled
up in different places, in houses and churches, and it was reported
that some were burned up with their commissary stores. General
Jackson's report shows that our loss was 71 killed and 390 wounded,
making a total of 461. Members of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment
-claim that their regiment alone lost in killed and wounded 258. Gen
eral Johnson, in his official report, says : " The brigade commanders
and the regiments generally behaved with remarkable coolness and
-courage." He compliments a number of officers for their gallant
¦conduct during the engagement, among them Colonel Conner, Twelfth
•Georgia Regiment. He also compliments his medical staff for cool
ness and efficiency on the field, and activity in making preparations
for the removal of the wounded, and attention to them afterward.
Among the number was Dr. James A. Etheridge, Assistant Surgeon
Twelfth Georgia Regiment, who was severely wounded. Dr. Dabney,
in his " Life of Lieutenant-General Jackson," has this to say of the
conduct of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment in the battle of McDowell.
" The greatest carnage occurred in the ranks of the famous Twelfth
Georgia Regiment. . . . This noble body, trained under the eye
of General Edward Johnson, when colonel, held the center of the
battle from the beginning to the end. But their heavy loss was also
due to their own zeal and chivalry. Having been advanced at first,
in front of the crest of the hill, where their lines showed to their en
emies from beneath, in bold relief against the sky, they could not be
persuaded to retire to the reverse of the ridge, where many of the
other regiments found partial protection without sacrificing the effi
ciency of their fire. Their commander, perceiving their useless ex
posure, endeavored again and again to withdraw them, but amidst the
roar of the musketry his voice was lifted up in vain ; and when, by
passing along the ranks, he persuaded or entreated one wing of the

200 Doles-Cook Brigade.
regiment to recede, they rushed again to the front while he was gone?
to expostulate with the other."
Among the killed were Captains Dawson, Furlow, McMillan, and
Patterson, and Lieutenants Goldwire, Massey, Turpin and Wood
ward. Colonel Conner and Major Hawkins, of the Twelfth Georgia-.
Regiment, were complimented by General Johnson in his official re
port, for gallantry on the field.
Dr. Dabney says : "The battle is especially worthy of note as the
first of a series of victories that has joined forever the names of
'Stonewall' Jackson and the Shenandoah Valley."
On the morning of May 9, Colonel Preston was left at McDowell?
with a detachment of cadets and a small force of cavalry in charge of
the prisoners and public property ; while the main army, with Captain
Sheets' cavalry in our front, pursued the retreating enemy to the
vicinity of Franklin, capturing a few prisoners and stores along the
line of march. The junction between Banks and Milroy had been
prevented, and General Jackson decided not to press them farther,
but to return to the Shenandoah Valley and defeat Banks' army be
fore reinforcements could reach him.
On the 15th we marched toward McDowell and encamped at Leb
anon Springs. On the 17th we halted at Mount Solon, where Gen
eral Ewell met General Jackson for a conference. Banks was now
completely cut off from Fremont, and fell back to Strasburg, where he-
was exposed to a combined attack from Jackson, Ewell and Johnson.
After two days of needed rest we moved down the valley on the-
18th, and reached New Market on the 20th, and a junction witb
Ewell's Division was made near there. We left the valley turnpike-
at New Market and moved through Luray toward Front Royal, with
the hope that we would be able to capture or disperse the garrison at
the latter place and reach the rear of Banks, or force him to leave
his fortifications at Strasburg.
The " Army of the Valley," commanded by General Thomas J.
("Stonewall") Jackson, was now organized into two divisions: Jack
son's Division and Ewell's Division. The Twelfth Georgia Regiment
was in Elzey's Brigade, of the latter division.

BATTLE OF FRONT ROYAL.
On Thursday the 22d the entire command moved on the road
leading from Luray to Front Royal and camped about ten miles from

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 201
the last named place. At dawn on Friday the 23d our march was-
resumed and encountered no opposition until within one and a half
miles of Front Royal. About two p.m., we drbve in the enemy's,
picket, and followed rapidly. The main body of the enemy retired
to a commanding hill just outside of the town, formed line of battle,
and opened on our troops with artillery as they advanced beyond the
town. The Federals soon retreated across both forks of the Shenan
doah, and attempted to burn the bridge over the North Fork, but be
fore their purpose was fully accomplished our troops extinguished the
flames and crossed the river while they were in full retreat toward
Winchester, pursued by our infantry and artillery.
The stores and provisions captured at Front Royal were not the only
fruits of this victory ; the road to Winchester had been opened by
turning the enemy's flank. Upon arriving at Middletown with the
main body of our army under command of General Jackson, we
found the valley turnpike crowded with retreating Federal cavalry.
The battalions of Poague and Chew, with Taylor's Brigade of Infan
try, opened fire upon them, and in a few moments the turnpike pre
sented a fearful spectacle of carnage and destruction. The road was-
obstructed with confused masses of struggling and dying horses and
riders. The wildest confusion had seized the surviving cavalry, and
they scattered in every direction, and some two hundred prisoners,,
with their equipments, were captured. A train of wagons was seen
disappearing toward Winchester, when Ashby's Cavalry, some artil
lery and Taylor's Infantry were sent in pursuit. After a spirited re
sistance the Federal army retreated toward Strasburg, and then made-
its escape through the mountains across the Potomac. A large
amount of baggage fell into our hands, whole regiments having thrown
away their knapsacks in order to retreat more rapidly. General Jack
son being satisfied that the main body of Banks' army had passed on
its way to Winchester, ordered his troops that were halted to pursue-
the enemy in that direction. In the hurried retreat of the enemy-
large numbers of wagons loaded with stores were abandoned between
Middletown and Newtown. General Jackson considered it so impor
tant to secure the heights at Winchester before dawn, that the ad
vance continued until morning. The troops were only permitted to
halt for one hour during the night.
Stanton, the Federal Secretary of War, in a communication to-
General McClellan, dated May 27, said : "The attack upon Banks,
was a bold and sudden push by Jackson, that surprised the troops at.

.202 Doles-Cook Brigade.
Front Royal. The affair has served to quicken the spirit of the States,
and will bring us fresh troops quickly."

BATTLE OF WINCHESTER.
Our troops approached Winchester at daylight, and finding that the
enemy's skirmishers occupied the hill southwest of the town drove
them from it. The enemy's infantry moved to the left while his ar
tillery was playing on us with the intention of getting possession of
that portion of the hill immediately to the north of us. A portion
of our infantry was ordered to form line of battle to the left and
•check the movement. This line was formed in face of a heavy fire
from the enemy's artillery and sharpshooters. They advanced against
large numbers of the enemy and drove them back, and all of Win
der's troops joined in the advance except those supporting batteries.
The whole Federal army gave way in this charge, and General
Elzey, whose troops were held in reserve on the valley turnpike, was
ordered to pursue, when they eagerly united in the general advance,
entering Winchester with the balance of the troops.
General Ewell then moved to the eastern outskirts of the town.
The enemy's entire force now gave way, fearing that this simultaneous
movement on both flanks of his army would cut off his retreat.
His troops made only slight resistance while passing through the
town. Our troops were now in rapid pursuit of the retreating Federals.
As the Confederate troops passed hurriedly through Winchester, its
loyal citizens, who had been oppressed for more than two months by
the Federal army, received them with the wildest enthusiasm, and
shouted with joy for their deliverance from the enemy's despotism.
Our infantry and artillery continued to pursue the Federals on the
road to Martinsburg for about two hours for the purpose of preventing
him from reorganizing his shattered ranks and forming in line of
battle. We looked eagerly for our cavalry to appear on the field and
continue the pursuit, but nothing was seen or heard of them, and as
nothing could be accomplished without them General Jackson halted
the command and went into camp, as our infantry was completely ex
hausted from long and continued marches.
Brigadier-General George H. Stewart came up with his cavalry in
about an hour after we had halted and renewed the pursuit and cap
tured a number of prisoners, but the main body of Banks' army had

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 203
-crossed the Potomac. If our cavalry had joined in the pursuit at the
beginning of Banks' retreat but few of his army would have suc
ceeded in making their escape. General Winder was ordered to make
a demonstration toward the Potomac on the 28th, and moved down
the pike until within five miles of Charleston, when he learned that
the enemy was in possession of that place.
General Jackson, upon receipt of this information, instructed Gen
eral Ewell to reinforce him. Winder, however, did not wait, but
•cautiously approached the town and attacked the enemy's force of
one thousand five hundred, and after a few well-directed shots
from our batteries the enemy fled in confusion, throwing away arms,
nlankets, haversacks, etc.
Our troops pursued rapidly with infantry and artillery as far as
Halltown. Observing the enemy on Boliver Heights, Winder re
turned to Charlestown. Shields was moving from Fredericksburg
on our right, and Fremont on our left from the South Branch, with
the intention of concentrating in our rear and cutting off our retreat
up the valley. All of our troops, except Winder's Brigade and the
cavalry, were ordered to return to Winchester in order to avoid such
a result. Winder was instructed to recall the Second Virginia Regiment
from Loudon Heights and rejoin the main army. We moved up the
-valley early on the morning of the 31st with two thousand three
hundred Federal prisoners, and camped that night near Strasburg.
Our outpost was attacked the next morning by Fremont, who was
-approaching by way of Wardensville. As it was necessary for Gen
eral Jackson to remain near Strasburg until Winder's Brigade came
up, General Ewell was ordered to hold Fremont in check with his
division. Other troops went to his assistance, when the enemy fell
back after a spirited resistance. Winder arrived that afternoon, the
¦Second Virginia Regiment having marched thirty-six miles that day.
We then moved toward Harrisonburg.
The public property captured at Front Royal, Winchester, Mar
tinsburg and Charleston was of great value, but much of it had to
be destroyed for want of transportation. The medical stores, which
filled one of the largest storehouses in Winchester, were saved. Com
missary supplies consisting of over one hundred head of cattle,
34,600 pounds of bacon, flour, salt, sugar, coffee, hard bread and
-cheese were turned over to proper officers, besides large amounts
¦used by the troops and not accounted for. We also captured $25,-

204 Doles-Cook Brigade.
000 dollars' worth of sutler's stores, which, for the want of transpor
tation, were abandoned to the troops.
Quartermaster's stores amounting to $125,185 were taken, and a
large amount destroyed besides. The cavalry secured many horses,.
and we removed 9,304 stands of small arms and two pieces of artil
lery. The official reports of our casualties during this expedition r
including the engagements at Front Royal and Winchester, show
that 68 were killed, 329 wounded, and 3 missing ; total loss, 400.
General Jackson, in general order No. 53, dated May 26, 1862,.
says: " Within four weeks this army has made long and rapid
marches, fought six combats and two battles, signally defeating the
enemy in each one, captured several stands of colors and two pieces-
of artillery, with numerous prisoners and vast medical, ordnance and
army stores, and finally driven the boastful host, which waB ravaging
our beautiful country, into utter rout. The general commanding
would warmly express to the officers and men under his command
his joy in their achievements and his thanks for their brilliant gal
lantry in action, and their patient obedience under the hardships of
forced marches, often more painful to the brave soldier than the dan
gers of battle. The explanation of the severe exertions to which the
commanding general called the army, which were endured by them
with such cheerful confidence in him, is now given in the victory of
yesterday. He receives this proof of their confidence in the past
with pride and gratitude, and asks only a similar confidence in the
future. But his chief duty to-day and that of the army is to recog
nize devoutly the hand of a protecting providence in the brilliant
successes of the last three days, which have given us the results of a
great victory without great losses, and to make the oblation of our
thanks to God for his mercies to us and our country in heartfelt acts

camp to-day, suspending as far as practicable all military exercises,

BATTLE OF CROSS KEYS.
On the evening of June 1, Jackson's army moved up the valley.
Fremont advanced while we retreated, and after dark attacked our
cavalry rear-guard, but he was soon driven back, and some prisoners
captured .

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 205
On the 2d of June the enemy secured a position where their artil?
3ery was able to cannonade the Confederates' rear. Our cavalry was
thrown into confusion by the bursting shells and fled, and a part of
the battery which was supporting them followed in their flight.
After this the Federal cavalry advanced, but Ashby met them
with a small body of infantry, posted in a wood near the roadside,
and poured a galling fire into their ranks. Some were killed and
wounded, and some retired in haste, while others rode into our lines,
and all of them except one was either killed or captured. We
•crossed the Shenandoah on the 3d, and General Ashby then burned
the bridge, which delayed the movement of Fremont for a day. We
reached Harrisonburg early on the morning of the 5th, passed
through the town and turned east in the direction of Port Republic.
While General Ashby was in position on the road between Harrison
burg and Port Republic on the 6th, the enemy charged his position,
but was repulsed, and Colonel Windham and sixty-three of his men
were captured. General Ewell then gave Ashby two regiments of
infantry who were attacked by the Federal infantry, when a fierce en
gagement ensued until one of our infantry regiments charged them
in front and the other attacked them on the flank, when they gave
way. General Ashby was killed in this affair. Our loss was seven
teen killed and fifty wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Kane, com
manding the Pennsylvania Bucktails, was captured.
The main body of our army reached the vicinity of Port Republic
on the 7th of June. General Fremont was near Harrisonburg, and
General Shields at Conrad's Store, fifteen miles below Port Republic,
moving up the east side of the Shenandoah river. The bridge over
this river at that point had been destroyed in order to prevent a
junction of the Federal armies.
Soon after sunup on Sunday morning, June 8, our pickets in
front of Shields' army rushed to headquarters in the village in con
fusion, followed by the Federal cavalry and a section of artillery.
•Our resistance was so feeble that the enemy's advance dashed across
the ford of South river and General Jackson narrowly escaped capture.
Two members of his staff were taken prisoners. Our artillery was soon
in position on the heights overlooking the river, and our infantry
formed a line of battle. The artillery opened on the enemy, and
our infantry charged at a double quick, captured the bridge,
crossed over and drove the enemy from the field in confusion.
The enemy's infantry then advanced in considerable force up the

206 Doles-Cook Brigade.
road. Our batteries opened on the retreating cavalry and advancing-
infantry, and it was not long before the infantry followed the cavalry
and disappeared in the wood at a bend in the road.
The attack of Shields had hardly been repulsed when Ewell become
hotly engaged with Fremont on the opposite side of the river. This-
advance was checked long enough to allow General Ewell sufficient
time to choose his position. The position that he selected was on a
ridge, a rivulet and a large field of open ground being in his front, and
woods on both flanks, the center of his line intersecting the road lead
ing to Port Republic. Trimble's Brigade was posted on the ridge
somewhat in advance of his center, Courtney's, Lusk's, Brockenbrough's-
and Raine's batteries in the center, General Stewart's Brigade on
the left, and General Elzey's Brigade in rear of the center, and in
position to strengthen either wing, both being in the woods. The
enemy threw out skirmishers and posted his artillery opposite to our
batteries about ten o'clock. The artillery fire was kept up for several
hours by both sides. In the meantime the Federals advanced a bri
gade upon the right. General Trimble, who held this position, waited
until the enemy was in musketry range, when he poured a deadly
fire from his whole line, which forced them to fall back. Late in the
afternoon General Ewell's forces advanced and drove in the enemy's
skirmishers, and when night closed, was in the position previously
held by the enemy. Brigadier-Generals Elzey and Stewart were
both wounded and disabled during the day.

BATTLE OF PORT REPUBLIC.
General Jackson remained at Port Republic during the 8th, expect
ing a renewal of the attack, but as Shields made no movement in
that direction he decided to attack him.
General Ewell was instructed to move toward Port Republic early
ou the morning of the 9th, leaving Trimble's Brigade, the Forty-
second Virginia Regiment and the First Battalion of Virginia Regu
lars to hold Fremont in check, with instructions to retire, if hard
pressed, across North river, and burn the bridge in their rear. About
midnight the pioneers commenced to hastily construct a foot-bridge
across the lords at South river by placing wagons without their
bodies across the stream. Thi3 bridge was intended to be so con
structed as to allow several men to cross it abreast, but the workmen

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 207"
in their haste placed two wagons in the deepest part of the stream so-
that the front and rear axles came together, thereby causing a nar
row place and a step at that point, which retarded the march of the
troops, because they had to pass this place in single file. By five
o'clock a.m. Winder's Brigade had crossed over. Taylor's was the next
to cross. General Jackson, ignorant of the cause of delay, ordered
Winder to move down the river road and attack Shields. After ad
vancing one and a half miles the Federal pickets were driven in.
The enemy had planted six guns on an elevated position near the
Lewis house, which commanded the road from Port Republic and
for a considerable distance in his front. Winder, being reinforced,
advanced to the attack, but encountered a large body of infantry
and artillery, and was driven back in disorder. The enemy then
moved across the field and drove our infantry back and compelled
the artillery to retire.
Winder's command was now in a critical condition. Taylor ad
vanced on the left and rear and diverted the enemy's attention. He
emerged from the woods just as the Federal movement in front proved
successful, and was in point blank range of their guns. He was
assaulted in front and flank by greatly superior numbers, but charged
gallantly, and the battery was lost and won several times in the des
perate and determined efforts to capture and recover it. General
Ewell, who had passed his whole division across South river, was
hurrying to the front.
While these movements were being made Colonel Scott went to
the support of Taylor, who, advancing with his brigade and rein
forcements, assisted by the excellent fire of our battery, forced the
Federals back, and caused them to hastily retreat, leaving many
killed and wounded on the field. General Taliaferro had been left
at Port Republic to cooperate with General Trimble if necessary, and
prevent his being cut off from the main body of the army by the de
struction of the bridge in the rear. But the situation on our side
became so serious that it was necessary to order both Taliaferro and
Trimble to join the main body. Taliaferro reached the field in time
to pour an effective volley into the retreating enemy. The pursuit
was continued by Generals Taliaferro and Winder, and a portion of
the batteries of Wooding and Caskie, for five miles. The cavalry
continued three miles beyond our other troops. In the pursuit we
captured 450 prisoners, some wagons, one piece of abandoned artil
lery and 800 muskets. The official reports of the battle show a

total loss in killed, wounded and missing of 1,006, including the
skirmishes on the 6th.
The brigade of General Trimble, with the two regiments left at
Cross Keys, was slowly retiring toward the river. The brigade of
General Taliaferro, which had been left to occupy the village, was
hurried to the front, and gave the parting volley to the retreating
•enemy. In this battle the Federals had eight thousand men engaged,
and the Confederates three small brigades of infantry, with three
regiments of cavalry and a superior artillery. Jackson had from
first to last the whole of his command present, but only those men
tioned above were engaged. It was reported that Shields was fifteen
miles in the rear with his reserves when the battle occurred, and that
Brigadier-General Tyler commanded the forces engaged.
The army remained near Weyer's Cave until the 17th, when we
moved toward Richmond.

SEVEN DAYS' BATTLES.
The Twelfth Georgia Regiment during these engagements was in
the Fourth Brigade (General Arnold Elzey commanding) of Ewell's
Division, Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, and the
brigade was composed of the following regiments, viz.: Thirteenth,
Twenty-fifth, Thirty-first, Forty-fourth, Fifty second and Fifty-
eighth Virginia Regiments, and the Twelfth Georgia Regiment.
On the 25th of June, 1862, the Second Corps reached the vicinity
of Ashland, about twelve miles from Richmond, on its march to join
the forces of General Lee in the attack on General McClellan's army.
On the 26th we marched in the direction of Cold Harbor, and
camped that night near Hundley's Corner.
Early on the morniDg of the 27th our march was resumed, Ewell's
Division being in the lead. About three thirty p.m., while General
A. P. Hill's troops were hard pressed at Cold Harbor, General Jack-
eon ordered a general advance of his entire corps. This movement com
menced with D. H. Hill's Division on the left, and extended to the
right through the divisions of Ewell, Jackson and Whiting in the
order named. The position occupied by the enemy was naturally a
very strong one and greatly strengthened by artificial works. His
position was on au elevated ridge nearly parallel to the Chickahominy,
his right being near McGehee's house, and his left on an abrupt bluff,

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 209
surrounded by artillery, and protected by a deep ravine and two lines
of breastworks for infantry. On his right he was further protected
by a ridge overlooking his advanced position from which batteries
could be effectively used against an advancing line over the heads of
his infantry. During the engagement, General Ewell, who was on
General D. H. Hill's right, moved the Fourth Brigade (General El-
zey) to the left of the road passing from Gaines' house to McGehee's,
and a portion of the Seventh and Eighth Brigades into the woods on
the right of the road. After crossing the swamp and commencing
to ascend the hill, the division became hotly engaged with the enemy.
The Twelfth Georgia, and the Twenty-fifth and Fifty-second Vir
ginia Regiments were detached by General Elzey to support some bat
teries during this engagement, and did not rejoin the brigade until the
next morning, June 28. Late in the afternoon of the 27th General
Elzey was wounded, and Colonel J. A. Walker, of the Thirteenth Vir
ginia Regiment, was placed in temporary command of the brigade,.
and in his official report states that he knew nothing of the move
ments of any of the regiments of the brigade prior to that time,
except that of his own regiment, the Thirteenth Virginia. The un
fortunate wounding of General Elzey prevented special mention of
the services performed by the several regiments of his brigade.
On Saturday the 28th Ewell's Division moved down the north
bank of the Chickahominy to Dispatch Station and destroyed a por
tion of the railroad track. The enemy's stores at that place had been
destroyed by our cavalry before we arrived.
About noon on Sunday the 29th the division was ordered to pre
vent the enemy from crossing Bottoms bridge, and late in the after
noon was ordered to return to Grapevine bridge and follow Jackson's
Division. While on the march Tuesday morning, July 1, Brigadier-
General Jubal A. Early was placed in command of the Fourth Brig
ade in place of Brigadier-General Arnold Elzey, who had been dan
gerously wounded at Cold Harbor.
At Malvern Hill, Ewell's Division was in reserve, Early's Brigade
being placed in rear of the Eighth Brigade, commanded by Colonel
Stafford. About dark Early's Brigade was ordered to the support of
General D. H. Hill, and was put in motion immediately under the
guidance of an officer appointed for the purpose. After crossing the
road they were marched through the woods, passing along the side of
a ravine covered with trees and thick undergrowth, until the head of
14d-c

it reached a small road leading across an open bottom on a creek.
The brigade was halted here for a short while so as to enable the
guide to find the route over which the troops were to move; they were
again put in motion and commenced their march across the bottom,
while Generals Ewell and Early were directed to move to the right
and cross over an old dam, that being the only practicable route for
horses. General Early, after arriving at the point at which he ex
pected to meet the head of the brigade, awaited their arrival for some
time, and then went in search of them ; while thus engaged he found
large numbers of men retreating in confusion, which he attempted to
rally, being assisted by his assistant adjutant-general, but found the
task a difficult one. While attempting to rally these men the Twelfth
Georgia Regiment came up, under command of Captain James G.
Rodgers, and he marched it off accompanied by Colonel Benning, with
a few of his men from Toombs' Brigade. Soon after this one of Gen
eral Early's aides, Captain S. H. Early, brought up the Twenty-fifth
and Thirty-first Virginia Regiments. These three regiments of Early's
Brigade remained on the field during the night in the position desig
nated by General Ewell, and when morning came were the only
troops on that part of the field.
General Early, in his report, says : " During the march the brigade
was exposed to a terrific cannonading, and shells were constantly
bursting over and around it. For some time the regiments with me
on the field, which were ordered to lie down, were exposed to the
fiercest artillery fire that I have ever witnessed. ... As soon as
it was light enough next morning an appalling spectacle was pre
sented to our view in front. The field for some distance from the
enemy's position was literally strewn with the dead and wounded, and
arms were lying in every direction. It was apparent that the enemy's
main body with his artillery had retired, but a body of his cavalry,
supported by infantry, was soon discovered on the field 
In the meantime parties of our men were going to the front in search
of the wounded, and after a demonstration by the enemy's cavalry,
which was abandoned on the firing of a few shots by the Maryland
Regiment posted in the woods some distance to my left, the parties
from both armies in search of the dead and wounded gradually ap
proached each other and continued their mournfu: work without mo
lestation on either side, being apparently appalled for the moment into
a cessation from all hostile purposes by the terrible spectacle presented
to their view. ... I was favorably impressed with the deport-

ment of the officers and men of the brigade so far as it came under
my own observation, and was particularly struck with that of Cap
tain James G. Rodgers, in command of the Twelfth Georgia Regi
ment, who led the regiment through a large body of disorganized
men who were giving the most disheartening accounts of the state of
things in front, he all the time encouraging his own men and endeav
oring to induce the fugitives to fall into his ranks and return to the
battle-field." The other regiments of Early's Brigade were in front
-of those mentioned above when the advance began, and, unable to
find any practicable way for marching over the route designated by
the guide across the bottom heretofore alluded to, attempted to dis
cover a better and plainer route, and in doing so reached the battle
field at a different point and got very near the enemy, but amid the
confusion and darkness were unable to distinguish friend from foe,
and then went back to the position where the brigade was first drawn
up in line of battle.
General Richard Taylor, in writing of the Seven Days' Battles
around Richmond, in his book entitled "Destruction and Recon
struction," says : " The sound of battle continued until it became
unendurable, and I was put into the ambulance by Tom and the
driver, the former following with the horses. We took the route by
which the troops had marched, the din of conflict increasing with
every mile, the rattle of small arms mingling with the thud of guns.
After weary hours of rough road, every jolt on which threatened to
destroy my remaining vitality, we approached Cold Harbor and met
numbers of wounded. Among these was General Elzey, with a dread
ful wound in the head and face. His aide was taking him to the rear
in an ambulance, and, recognizing Tom, stopped a moment to tell of
the fight. Ewell's Division, to which Elzey and I belonged, had just
been engaged with heavy loss. This was too much for my illness, and
I managed somehow to struggle on to my horse and get into the action.
It was a wild scene. Battle was raging furiously. Shot, shell and
ball exploded and whistled. Hundreds of wounded were being car
ried off, while the ground was strewn with dead. Dense thickets of
small pines covered much of the field, further obscured by clouds of
smoke. The first troops encountered were D. H. Hill's, and, making
way through these, I came upon Winder's, moving across the front
from right to left. Then succeeded Elzey's of Ewell's Division, and
across the road leading to Gaines' mill, my own. Mangled and bleed
ing, as were all of Ewell's, it was holding the ground it had won close

I joined, and at the moment cheers came up from our left, raised by
Winder's command, which had turned and was sweeping the Federal
right, while Lawton's Georgians, fresh and eager, attacked in our
front. The enemy gave way, and, under cover of the night, retired
over the Chickahominy. Firing continued for two hours, though
darkness concealed everything 
"To return to the field of Cold Harbor, the morning (Saturday) after
the battle. McClellan had chosen an excellent position, covering his
military bridges over the Chickahominy, his left resting on the river
and his center covered by a small' stream, one of its affluents, boggy
and of difficult passage. His right was on high ground near Cold
Harbor, in a dense thicket of pine-scrub, with artillery massed. This
position, three miles in extent and enfiladed in front by heavy guns on
the south bank of the Chickahominy, was held by three lines of in
fantry, one above the other on the rising ground, which was crowned
with numerous batteries concealed by timber. McClellan reported
thirty-six thousand men present, including Sykes' and Porter's Regu
lars ; but reinforcements brought over during the action probably in
creased this number to fifty thousand. Lee had forty thousand on the
field. Longstreet attacked on our right, near the river, A. P. Hill on
his left. Jackson approached Cold Harbor from the north, his divi
sion in column on one road as follows : Ewell's, Whiting's, Lawton's
(Georgians), and Winder's. At Cold Harbor Jackson united with the
division of D. H. Hill in advance of him, and directed it to find and
attack the enemy's right.- His own divisions, in the order above
named, were to come up on D. H. Hill's right and connect it with
A. P. Hill's left. Artillery was only employed by the Confederates
late in the day, and on their extreme left.
"D. H. Hill and Ewell were speedily engaged, and suffered heavily,
as did A. P. Hill and Longstreet, all attacking in front. Ignorance
of the ground, densely wooded, and want of guides occasioned confu
sion and delay in the divisions to Ewell's rear.
"Lawton came to Ewell's support, Whiting to A. P. Hill's, while of
the three brigades of the last division, the second went to Longstreet's
right, the third to A. P. Hill's center, and the first was taken by Win
der with a fine soldierly instinct from right to left, across the battle,
to reinforce D. H. Hill and turn the Federal position. The movement
was decisive, and if executed earlier would have saved loss of men
and time. So much for fighting on unknown ground."

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 213
The last of the Seven Days' battles around Richmond was fought
at Malvern Hill, and all of them had proven to be complete victories
for the Confederates. The Federals were beaten and despondent,
and called for three hundred thousand additional men to reinforce
their armies. Pope had been placed in command of the armies of
Banks, Fremont and Shields, and was preparing to advance upon
Richmond from the Rapidan river. In order to check this movement
Jackson's and Ewell's Divisions were sent to Gordonsville, and they
were afterwards reinforced by other troops. Longstreet was kept
near Richmond to engage McClellan if he attempted to advance upon
Richmond. Jackson moved toward Pope's position.

BATTLE OF CEDAR RUN.
On the morning of August 8, 1862, our cavalry drove the enemy's
cavalry north of the Rapidan back, and our infantry followed the
cavalry, Ewell's Division leading. Lawton's Brigade was detached to
guard our train, and was thus prevented from taking part in the bat
tle on the 9 th.
We found the enemy in our front on the 9th, about eight miles from
Culpeper Court House, near Cedar Run, and a short distance west
and north of Slaughter mountain. His cavalry occupied a ridge to
the right in large force. Our artillery opened upon them, and some
of his guns beyond the ridge responded. Early's Brigade was ordered
forward, while General Ewell diverged from the road to the right
with Trimble's and Hays' Brigades advancing along the western slope
of Slaughter mountain. Early's Brigade moved to the right of the
road and drove the enemy from the crest of the hill. It was then
ordered forward, and the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, which was on the
right, was posted behind a ridge, beyond which the enemy's cavalry
was stationed. The brigade then advanced until it reached the position
of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, when the whole moved forward until
the enemy's cavalry was discovered. The brigade was then ordered
to retire a short distance and lie down under the protection of the hill
so as to avoid the effects of the enemy's artillery. Our artillery was
moved in advance of our line and opened fire upon the Federal bat
teries. Early asked for a brigade to support his right, but before the
support reached him several pieces of artillery from our left dashed
down the hill to within range of the enemy's skirmishers, whom they

214 Doles-Cook Brigade.
had not seen. The enemy's skirmishers and infantry in their rear com
menced to move and fire on them immediately. Early, seeing their dan
ger, ordered the brigade forward at double-quick, reaching the pieces-
just in time to save them. Just at this time some of General Winder's
troops opened fire from the woods to the left, and the infantry fight
commenced. The front regiments of the enemy soon gave way, but-
other regiments were seen advancing to our left through the wheat
field, and in our front through the corn field. The Twelfth Georgia
Regiment was thrown to the left along the crest of a ridge, which
made a curve in front and afforded a good natural defense. From
this position they were enabled to give the enemy a flank fire. Just-
as this movement was completed a brigade commanded by Colonel
Edward L. Thomas of Major-General Hill's Division was seen passing
from the rear to our right. This brigade was posted immediately to
the right of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment and at right angles with it
where it had a strong position. Our artillery then retired and the
regiments of Early's Brigade to the left had fallen back, and the
enemy was advancing up the hill. The situation of our troops was
now critical. The Twelfth Georgia Regiment and four companies of
the Fifty-second Virginia Regiment and a part of the Fifty-eighth*
Virginia Regiment of Early's Brigade had not given way, and the
brigade of Colonel Thomas was still on our right. These troops were
now isolated and in an advanced position. General Early in his re
port says : ' 'Had they given way the day in all probability would have
been lost." In a short while it was discovered that the enemy was re
tiring before some of our advancing troops. Amongst the advancing
forces was a portion of Early's Brigade, which had been rallied. The
enemy then attempted to retrieve the fortune of the day by charging
with his cavalry, but was repulsed. The troops that had driven the
enemy back advanced into a corn field. The troops on the right main
tained their ground against a body of infantry in front of Thomas'
Brigade. The ammunition of both Early's and Thomas' Brigades being
nearly exhausted, they were directed by General Early to maintain
their position at all hazards, and to use the bayonet if necessary, and
they did not waver for a moment. The last of the enemy's regiments-
left the ground as our troops advanced a little before dusk to the left.
in the corn field. We then advanced in pursuit of the enemy with
Hill's Division until ordered by General Ewell to wait until the other
two brigades of his division came upon the road from the right, and
follow them, which we did, but in a short while afterward we halted

and went into camp for the night. General Early in his official report
says: "The conduct of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, with which I
was more than any other, elicited my especial approbation. It is a
gallant, fighting regiment, and I have had occasion before to notice
its good conduct. Its commander in this action, Captain William F.
Brown, who is over sixty years of age, displayed great courage and
energy. He is eminently deserving the command of a regiment, and
I recommend him for promotion to fill the first vacancy that may oc
cur among the field officers of the regiment." We remained in posi
tion until the night of August 11th, and then returned to the vicinity
of Gordonsville to avoid being attacked by greatly superior numbers
before we could receive reinforcements.

OPERATIONS FROM AUGUST 16 TO SEPTEMBER i,
INCLUDING THE BATTLES OF SECOND
MANASSAS.
On the 16th of August, 1862, Ewell's Division moved from Liberty
Mills to Mountain Run, below Rapidan Station, where it remained
until the 20th, when it crossed the Rapidan river at Cunningham's
Ford, and bivouacked near Stevensburg.
On the next day, August 21, it passed Brandy Station and camped
near St. James Church on the road to a ford on the Rappahannock,
below the mouth of Hazel river.
On the 22d it crossed Hazel river at a mill, and then moved above
the mouth of the river, where the enemy was found in force. We soon
marched in the direction of Warrenton Springs. General Trimble's
Brigade was left to protect the flank of our wagon-train from the
enemy, who was moving to the north side, while we were advancing
on the south side of the Rappahannock. The remainder of the divi
sion moved to the vicinity of Warrenton Springs on the south bank,
and the Thirteenth Georgia Regiment of Lawton's Brigade crossed at
the springs that afternoon and captured a cavalry picket. Eight guns
of Brown's and Dement's Batteries were also crossed over at that point.
Early's Brigade crossed over on an old dam one mile below the springs
the same afternoon. Early was ordered to occupy a piece of woods in
front of his place of crossing, and to establish communication with
General Lawton, as it was understood that his entire brigade would
cross over at the springs. There had been a heavy shower and the

216 Doles-Cook Brigade.
river was somewhat swollen before Early's Brigade had orders to cross,
and when they did cross it was still raining. When the left of our
line was extended into the woods a road was discovered running from
the springs to the two fords and Rappahannock Station. Our left was
near this road, and our right extended to an old field below where we
crossed. The river was so much swollen the next morning that it was impos
sible to cross it. General Early learned the next morning that the
Thirteenth Georgia Regiment was the only regiment of Lawton's
Brigade that had crossed, and informed General Jackson that his
whole command would be captured if the enemy advanced in force,
and suggested the propriety of his moving toward Waterloo bridge in
order to extricate his command. General Jackson instructed him to
move toward the springs and take command of the troops there, and
so post his command that his left flank would rest on the river and
the right on a creek north of the springs, and stated that the bridge
which he was repairing would soon be in condition for the infantry to
pass over. Afterward he received instructions from General Jackson
to move toward Waterloo bridge if the enemy appeared in too heavy
force, and to keep near the river so that he (Jackson) could follow
along the opposite bank with his whole force and protect him. Gen
eral Early then posted the Thirteenth and Twenty-first Virginia on
the road so as to protect his rear, but when he reached the springs
found that Colonel Douglass had moved the Thirteenth Georgia and
the artillery to a hill below the springs which runs across the river
to the creek. The Twelfth Georgia, Twenty-fifth, Forty-fourth,
Fifty-second, and Fifty-eighth Virginia Regiments were then posted
to the left of the Thirteenth Georgia, so as to present a front to
the northwest, the rear being guarded by the Thirteenth and Thirty-
first Virginia Regiments, and the right flank, the only one exposed,
was secure on account of the condition of the creek called Great
Run. An officer was sent over during the morning to pilot one of
Early's staff officers to Waterloo bridge, so that he might know the
route if it became necessary for him to move in that direction. The
creek began to fall rapidly, and was in a condition to be crossed dur
ing the afternoon. It now became evident that the enemy was mov
ing up from below in heavy force, and that our troops were in a crit
ical position. The fact that our troops were concealed by the woods
no doubt saved them from capture. The enemy was doubtless aware of
the fact that a force was across the river, but thought it much larger

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 217
than it really was. A heavy column of infantry and artillery ap
peared opposite our right flank late in the afternoon, when General
Early changed front so as to present it toward the enemy. His artil
lery was also posted so as not to be observed by the enemy. About
this time Brigadier-General Robertson came from the direction of
Warrenton with two or three regiments of cavalry, and two pieces of
artillery, and after a consultation with General Early, the two pieces
were posted on the hill north of the springs which commanded a view
of the enemy, when he opened fire upon him. A battery of the
enemy responded to this fire in a few moments. General Early sent
two Parrott guns from Captain Brown's battery to his assistance,
when a brisk cannonading commenced and continued until near sun
down, with no damage to our infantry or artillery ; the only persons
injured belonged to the cavalry in rear of our pieces.
After the artillery fire ceased a column of the enemy advanced,
but objects were rendered quite indistinct on account of the approach
ing darkness. Infantry was now seen advancing to our left, and in a
few moments they fired a volley into the woods where our infantry
was posted and gave three cheers. Our infantry was placed at a
point from which they could fire upon the enemy, and two of Cap
tain Dement's Napoleon guns were run to the left of our line and
opened with canister upon the enemy. This fire was so well directed
that it drove them back in confusion ; the cries and groans of his men
could be plainly heard by our troops.
There was no other attack upon our troops that night, but it was
evident that preparations were being made to surround our troops.
General Early sent a messenger to General Jackson and informed him
of the state of affairs, when the remainder of General Lawton's Brig
ade was sent over on the temporary bridge that had been constructed,
the Sixtieth Georgia Regiment having crossed over just before night.
When General Lawton arrived at one p.m., he informed General
Early that he had seen written instructions to General Ewell direct
ing him to cross over himself at daylight, and if it was evident that
the enemy was in heavy force to recross the troops, as it was not de
sired to have a general engagement at that place. General Early
sent a messenger to General Ewell at once and informed him that if
the troops were to be recrossed the sooner it was done the better,
as there was no doubt of the enemy's being in heavy force, and
that if he waited until daylight the enemy could, by moving to
the left place artillery so as to command both the bridge and the ford,

and thus prevent his recrossing at either place. After receiving this
message General Ewell crossed over the river a little before three
o'clock a.m., and after consultation with General Early gave orders
to recross. Lawton's Brigade crossed over first, carrying the artillery
by hand ; Early's Brigade followed, the whole being completed a lit
tle after daylight. It appears from General Pope's report that he
supposed this force to be the whole of Jackson's army, and had moved
his whole force up to attack him. The men did not murmur, al
though they had had no rations since the day they crossed over, and
for two nights and a day they lay upon their arms, but exhibited the
utmost resolution to repulse the enemy should he attack them. The
men did not throw away ammunition when the enemy fired upon
them in the woods, but reserved their fire for close quarters, deter
mined to make it a death-struggle, for they knew full well the terri
ble strait they were in.
Early on the morning of the 25th, Ewell's Division moved to
Henson's Mill, above Waterloo -foridge, and crossed the Rappahan
nock and camped that night at Salem. We marched very early on
the morning of the 26th, and went through Thoroughfare Gap in the
direction of Gainesville. At the latter place we took the road to
Bristoe Station. Ewell's Division marched in advance on the 25th
and 26th, and on the latter day moved as follows : First, Hays'
Brigade ; second, Trimble's ; third, Lawton's ; and fourth, Early's.
The Fifteenth Alabama Regiment, of Trimble's Brigade, and the
Twelfth Georgia, in the meantime, were sent to join General Trimble
at Manassas Junction, an order having been received for the transfer
of the latter regiment.
The troops of Ewell's Division moved in the direction of Centre-
ville as soon as they were supplied with provisions obtained at Ma
nassas, and bivouacked between Manassas and Bull Run. At light
the next morning Early's Brigade was followed by Trimble's, and,.
when it reached Blackburn's Ford, crossed and proceeded up to
the stone bridge through the fields on the north side of Bull Run,
then moved along the Warrenton turnpike and finally halted in
the woods north of that road. After remaining in this position for
some time the division moved under cover of the woods in the direc
tion of Gainesville, following Jackson's Division. Early's Brigade
was leading the division in this movement, and reached the track
graded for a railroad near Groveton. We here turned to the right
and were formed in line in the edge of a piece of woods, with the left

resting on the railroad track and the right a short distance in rear of
Stark's Brigade, of Jackson's Division. Hays' Brigade was formed
behind Early's ; Lawton's and Trimble's were formed further to the
right by General Ewell, who accompanied them, and directed Gen
eral Early to take command of his own and Hays' Brigade. After
ward Lawton's and Trimble's Brigades were placed on the right of
Starke's by General Ewell, and led them in the advance made
on the enemy down the turnpike late in the afternoon. These
two brigades were on the left of our line of attack, and advanced
to close quarters with the enemy. The loss in these two brigades
was quite heavy. General Ewell himself received a very serious
wound in the knee while leading one of the regiments near the
close of the fight. He fell, when wounded, very near Company G,
Twelfth Georgia Regiment. Just before dark General Early was or
dered to advance to the front, and in making the movement it brought
him near the left of the position to which Trimble's Brigade had
advanced, and while making it his brigade was exposed to a galling
fire of shells and canister. When he had succeeded in forming his-
line in front of the railroad the enemy commenced to retire. It had
become so dark that he could not tell friend from foe, and halted on
the railroad. General Ewell was lying in front wounded, and he had
him carried to the hospital. Lawton's and Trimble's Brigades lay
on their arms a short distance to the right of Early's, near the points
where they were at the close of the fight.
The division was now commanded by Brigadier-General Lawton,
and early the next morning it was formed in line of battle on a ridge
near the railroad track, facing toward Groveton, with the right rest
ing on the Warrenton turnpike. Afterward General Lee ordered
Early to take his own and Hays' Brigade to a ridge west of the
turnpike and railroad track to prevent the enemy from flanking our
troops on the right. Our whole line of battle in the meantime had
been so modified as to place it along the railroad track. Lawton and
Trimble's Brigades were moved so as to conform to the new disposi
tion. After this there was considerable fighting, and the enemy cap
tured a portion of the railroad track, but were finally driven out and
pursued for several hundred yards. This was on Friday afternoon
the 29th, and the last attempt made by the enemy to get possession
of the line of railroad.
General Trimble was very seriously wounded that afternoon by a shot
fired by the enemy's sharpshooters. Captain William F. Brown, of

220 Doles-Cook Brigade.
the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, succeeded him as commander of the
brigade. During the morning of the 30th the position of the various bri
gades was as follows : Trimble's on the right ; Lawton's on the left of
Trimble, and three regiments of Early's Brigade on the left of Law-
ton, the whole occupying the line of railroad.
Hays' Brigade went to the rear after ammunition and did not re
turn. When General Longstreet made his advance a short while before
night, Lawton's, Trimble's and Early's Brigades were ordered forward.
General Jackson ordered Early's Brigade to move by the flank, as the
enemy was reported to be advancing to our left. After throwing out
skirmishers it was discovered that this movement was being made by
some of our troops instead of the Federals. We were then ordered
back and bivouacked for the night. Our losses during the day had
been heavy, that of the enemy much heavier.
On Sunday the 31st Ewell's Division moved forward crossing Bull
Run at a ford below Sudley's, then turned to the left and marched
along a country road until it reached Little River turnpike, and fol
lowed it in the direction of Germantown until ordered to bivouac
late that night. The division was again put in motion early the next
morning, September 1, and moved in single column until we reached
Chantilly. The division was then placed in two columns, one on each
side of the road, and the artillery in the road ; Trimble's and Hays'
Brigades were on the right and Lawton's and Early's on the left. On
reaching Ox Hill that afternoon it was learned that the enemy was
approaching from Centerville. Trimble's and Hays' Brigades were
then moved to the right and placed in line of battle on the right of
Jackson's Division, and occupied a position on the edge of a field beyond
a piece of woods through which the Ox road runs. Lawton's and
Early's Brigades were placed in rear of Trimble's and Hays' Brigades.
As we moved into position the enemy opened with artillery, and in a
short time infantry opened fire in our front. A cold rain swept over
the field at this time, beating directly into the faces of our troops. The
division lay in the wet woods during the night, on their arms. Captain
William F. Brown of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, who was in com
mand of Trimble's Brigade, was killed in this fight. When our line
of battle was formed Hill's Division was on the right, Ewell's Division
in the center and Jackson's Division on the left, all on the turnpike
road. On an eminence to the left of the road our artillery was posted.

History of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 221
Branch's and Field's Brigades were advanced to feel and engage
the enemy. These brigades attacked the enemy, but the fire was
so severe in front and flank that they were forced to fall back.
Gregg's, Thomas' and Pender's Brigades were then thrown into the
fight, and soon a portion of Ewell's Division became engaged. The
battle now raged with intense fury and the enemy contested the ground
until Generals Kearney and Stevens, their commanders, fell in front
of Thomas' Brigade, when they retired from the field.
Colonel James A. Walker, of the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment, wast
assigned to the command of Trimble's Brigade.
We left Ox Hill on the 3d and took the road to Dranesville and
Leesburg, and on the 4th bivouacked near the Big Spring between
Leesburg and the Potomac.

ton was assigned to command of the division, and remained in that
position until he was wounded at Sharpsburg, Md., September 17,
1862. After this Brigadier-General Jubal A. Early was assigned to
command of the division.

MARCH TO AND CAPTURE OF HARPER'S FERRY.
On the 3d of September, 1862, our division with the rest of the
troops moved to the left and crossed the Loudon and Hampshire
Railroad above Vienna, then passed through Dranesville in the direc
tion of Leesburg, and camped not far from Dranesville. We passed
through Leesburg on the 4th, and camped that night. We crossed
the Potomac at White's Ford on the 5th into Maryland, and camped
three or four miles from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and on the
morning of the 6th marched to the railroad bridge over the Monocacy
at the junction of the railroad to Frederick City with the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. We remained in this position until the morning
of the 10th. We then moved westward, passing through Middletown
and bivouacked about ten miles from Frederick.
The next day we moved through Boonsborough and recrossed the
Potomac at Williamsport, and moved to North Mountain depot, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and camped near there. We passed
through Martinsburg the next day in the direction of Harper's Ferry,
and camped on the Opequon. On the morning of the 13th we

222 Doles-Cook Brigade.
marched towards Harpers Ferry and encamped one mile above Hall-
town. Late in the afternoon of the 14th we advanced upon Harper's
Ferry in three columns. After passing Halltown the division advanced
to the woods on Schoolhouse Hill, in the following order: Lawton's
and Trimble's Brigades were formed in line of battle on the right of
the turupike, Hays' Brigade on the left of it, and Early's Brigade in
rear of Lawton's. We then moved to the woods and took position on
this hill, which fronted Bolivar Heights, in easy range for artillery.
Early's Brigade was placed in rear of Hays'. This division lay on its
arms during the night.
The brigades were advanced to the front of the woods at daylight,
and our batteries opened fire, which was kept up until the enemy sur
rendered. Lawton's Brigade was moved to the bottom on the right
of the turnpike, between Schoolhouse Hill and Bolivar Heights, for
the purpose of supporting A. P. Hill's advance from the right, but
the white flag was displayed in a short time and no further movement
was made by our brigade or division. Late in the afternoon of the
15th General Lawton received orders to move to Boetler's Ford, and
Lawton's and Trimble's Brigades were put in motion. Hays' and
Early's Brigades were detained until after night, in order to secure
rations at Harper's Ferry, when they joined the other brigades in camp
about four miles from the ford. The division moved at dawn next
morning, crossed the Potomac at Boetler's Ford and camped about
one and a half miles from Sharpsburg.

BATTLE OF SHARPSBURG.
It remained in this position for several hours, and then moved to the
right to cover a bridge over the An tie tarn ; it was then directed to fol
low Jackson to the left. The division followed Jackson's Division until
it reached a Dunkard Church. Lawton's and Trimble's Brigades were
halted in the woods near the church ; during the night they relieved
some of Hood's Division that had been engaged during the evening.
Trimble's Brigade was posted on the right next to D. H. Hill's Di
vision, and Lawton's on the left of it. Skirmishing commenced in front
of Lawton's and Trimble's Brigades, and in a short time the enemy
across Antietam river opened on them with artillery so as to enfilade
them with a destructive fire. At sunrise, after the enemy had driven in
our skirmishers, he advanced to the edge of the woods. Artillery in

front of the woods opened upon us with shell and canister, and we were
¦exposed to a terrible fire. Colonel Walker commanding Trimble's
Brigade, by moving the Twenty-first Georgia and Twenty-first North
Carolina Regiments and concentrating that of the Twelfth Georgia
upon a part of the enemy's line in front of the Twelfth Georgia, suc
ceeded in breaking it. A fresh brigade at this moment came up to
support Lawton's and Hays' Brigades, when Colonel Walker ordered
an advance, but had to fall back to his first position because the bri
gade that had come to his support failed to move forward. Trimble's
Brigade had suffered terribly and Colonel Walker's horse was killed
under him, and he had been struck by a piece of shell.
General Early in his report says : ' 'The terrible nature of the con
flict in which these brigades had been engaged and the steadiness with
which they maintained their position are shown by the losses they
sustained. They did not retire from the field until General Lawton
had been wounded and borne from the field, Colonel Douglass, com
manding Lawton's Brigade, had been killed, and the brigade had sus
tained a loss of 554 killed and wounded out of 1,150, losing five
regimental commanders out of six; Hays' Brigade had sustained a loss
of 323 out of 350, including every regimental commander and all of
his staff, and Colonel Walker and one of his staff had been disabled,
and the brigade he was commanding (Trimble's) had sustained a loss
of 228 out of less than 700 present, including three out of four regi
mental commanders."
Colonel James A. Walker, commanding Trimble's Brigade, says :
' ' The whole force of the enemy opposed to my regiments occupied
the shelter of the wood, except that portion which confronted the left
of my line, where the Twelfth Georgia was posted. Observing that
the cool and deliberate fire of this tried and veteran regiment was an
noying that portion of the enemy's line very greatly, I ordered the
Twenty-first Georgia and the Twenty-first North Carolina Regiments
to the left, taking shelter under a low stone fence running at right
angles to their former line, to direct their fire upon the wavering Yankee
regiment, with the view of breaking the enemy's line at this point.
They did so promptly, and a few rounds from them had the desired
effect and the enemy's line was entirely broken. It gives me great
pleasure to bear testimony to the gallantry of the officers and men of
this brigade, which I had the honor to command for a short while.
•Captain Rodgers, commanding the Twelfth Georgia, and Captain
Miller, commanding the Twenty-first North Carolina Regiment, were

both killed on the field while gallantly discharging their duty.
Major Glover, commanding the Twenty-first Georgia, was severely
wounded." At the close of the day our troops held the ground which they oc
cupied early in the morning. We held the same position during the
next day awaiting the attack of the enemy, but he made no attack,
although he remained in our front in heavy force. We recrossed the
Potomac at Shepherdstown early on the morning of the 19th. After
we had crossed the enemy appeared on the opposite side of the Potomac
in considerable force. Under protection of their guns they com
menced to cross the Potomac, Lawton's Brigade and Pendlton's
Artillery being driven back. By the next morning a considerable
body of the enemy had crossed over. Generals Early and Hill, who
had proceeded some four miles on their march, were ordered to return
and attack them. Hill, who was in advance, formed his line of battle
in two lines. General Early took position on the left side of the road
leading to the ford, with the brigades of Early, Trimble and Hays.
The Federal infantry and artillery were in strong force on the oppo
site heights. General Hill's Division advanced with great gallantry
against his infantry' in the face of a continued discharge of shot and
shell from their batteries. They attempted to turn Pender's left, when
Archer's Brigade moved to his left ; a simultaneous charge was then
made, which drove the enemy into the river, followed by an appalling
scene of destruction of human life. We continued to hold this posi
tion during the day, although exposed to the enemy's guns and within
range of his sharpshooters. Our infantry remained at the river until
relieved by Fitz Lee's Cavalry. We then moved from Shepherdstown
and encamped in the vicinity of Martinsburg on the 20th of Septem
ber, and remained near there until the 27th, and then moved to-
Bunker Hill, where we rested for several weeks and gained consider
able strength by the return of soldiers who had recovered from sick
ness and wounds, and by return of those who had fallen out exhausted
in the severe marches in this trying campaign. No other engagement.
occurred until the Federals, with a reorganized army under a new
commander, Ambrose P. Burnside, crossed the Potomac again and
started another "On-to-Richmond" campaign. General Lee moved
his army across the Blue Ridge mountains and reached the south
bank of the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg in time to confront
the enemy and dispute his further progress toward the Confederate
capitol.

BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG.
The Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia marched on
the morning of the 13th to the vicinity of Hamilton's Crossing, and
bivouacked for the night. Brigadier-General Early was in command
of Ewell's Division. The right of Trimble's Brigade, commanded by
Colonel R. F. Hoke, rested upon the Richmond and Fredericksburg
railroad at Hamilton's Crossing, and in rear of Hays' Brigade. We
remained in this position for more than two hours under a heavy
cannonading, and lost a number of men. A little after noon the
infantry fire became quite severe, and we were ordered to move by the
left flank so that our right might rest on the left of Hays' Brigade.
We had hardly settled in this position before we had orders to go to
the support of General Archer, who had been driven from his position.
The enemy was found in possession of the trench which had been oc
cupied by Archer on the crest of the hill in the woods in rear of it.
The Federals were vigorously attacked by Hoke and driven from the
woods and trench to the railroad in front where their reserve force was
in position. Hoke followed up his attack and drove the enemy from
his strong position on the railroad for some distance in front, killing
about two hundred and wounding a large number, one hundred of
the wounded falling into our hands, and we afterwards secured sev
eral hundred stand of arms. Hoke's Brigade, which was then ad
vanced in front of the railroad for some distance, received orders from
General Early to fall back, because of the danger of being flanked, as
the enemy had brought up large fresh columns. Lieutenant-Colonel
Thaddeus B. Scott, commanding the Twelfth Georgia Regiment,
was killed in this battle while acting gallantly and doing his duty
nobly while the regiment was falling back to the woods. Lieu
tenant Thomas J. Verdery, adjutant of the Twenty-first Georgia
Regiment, was also killed. Hoke, however, had anticipated the
possibility of being flanked, and retired in good order, leaving two
regiments and a battalion in the railroad cut, and occupying the
trench on the hill with two other regiments and the Thirteenth
Georgia Regiment, which, having failed to accompany its brigade
on account of a misapprehension of orders, had been ordered for
ward with Hoke's Brigade, and got up in time to occupy the
trench but not to participate in the charge. Hoke moved forward
just as orders were received from General Jackson for the whole di
vision to advance. This movement was promptly executed. The

enemy had discontinued his artillery fire, and his infantry was ad
vancing on the hill, having reopened his batteries, so that Hoke's
Brigade was exposed to a galling fire while advancing. Hays' Brig
ade did not engage in the infantry fight because the enemy had been
effectually repulsed before it reached the front line of the enemy.
About sundown Hoke received orders to advance in support of the
artillery, which was about to be sent forward. Some pieces of artil
lery had advanced a short distance to the front, and Colonel Hoke
moved the balance of his brigade to the railroad where the other por
tion was posted. The enemy immediately opened a terrible artillery
fire, and our own artillery was withdrawn and the movement to ad
vance countermanded. Orders were received from General Jackson
instructing General Early to move his division back, make them as
comfortable as possible, and procure rations for them as soon as Gen
eral A. P. Hill took position in front. No troops, however, relieved
us, and we remained during the night in the position we occupied at
the close of the fight. General Early received an order during the
night to fill the vacancy in our line which would be left after Talia
ferro relieved A. P. Hill's Corps. We were already occupying the
front line with three brigades of our division. Our division contin
ued to hold the same position on the line during the 14th. We were
relieved on the morning of the 15th by the division of General
D. H. Hill, and moved to the rear in reserve. The Twelfth Georgia
Regiment was in Hoke's Brigade in this battle.
After this battle we remained in camp near Fredericksburg until
transferred to Doles' Brigade. Soon after this transfer Doles' Brigade
moved to camp at Grace church, five or six miles below Fredericks
burg, where we remained until Hooker crossed the Rappahannock,
when we were ordered out to meet him.
In the winter of 1863 and 1864 our regiment was sent to New Hope
Church in the valley of Virginia, some twenty-five miles from Staun
ton, for the purpose of arresting conscripts and deserters and sending
them to the army and to guard the left flank of Lee's army. While
on this mission we had the most delightful time that we had during
the entire war. We were amongst our friends and sympathizers, and
they were exceedingly kind to us. Our duties were very light. Out
side of sending out detachments for the purpose named we had but
little to do, and enjoyed a season of much-needed rest.
We could procure almost anything desired in the way of vegeta
bles, fresh meats, chickens, eggs, butter and milk, and fared sumptu-

left this pleasant and agreeable place with many regrets. When at
New Hope Church the nearest Confederate camp was about twenty-
five miles distant.
The foregoing account completes the separate and individual his

brigade is the history of each of the four regiments which composed
it, viz. : The Fourth, Twelfth, Twenty-first, and Forty-fourth Georgia
Regiments. Therefore, in order to complete the history of either of
the regiments named, you are requested to read carefully the brigade
history, which is full and complete, covering every battle and march
in which it participated, commencing with the battle of Chancellors
ville, and ending with the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox

GENERAL EDWARD WILLIS.
At the beginning of the War between the States Edward Willis-
was a cadet at West Point. When Georgia seceded he resigned, re
turned to his native State and tendered his services to the Confederate
Government. He was appointed adjutant of the Twelfth Georgia
Regiment, July, 1861, and continued in that position until after the
battle of Alleghany mountain, December 13, 1861. After this bat
tle he was appointed to a position on General " Stonewall" Jackson's
Staff, where he remained until after the battle of Fredericksburg, De
cember 13, 1862, when he was appointed colonel of the Twelfth
Georgia Regiment.
In his book, "The Battle of Chancellorsville," Colonel Hamlin, the
historian of the Eleventh Army Corps of the Federal army, pays Col
onel Willis the following high and well-deserved compliment :
"The skirmish line of Rodes' Division was composed of selected
riflemen, and was led by Colonel Willis, of the Twelfth Georgia, and
so well did he perform his duty that Jackson spoke highly of him in
his last moments. Another part of the skirmish line was commanded
by Colonel Blackford, and Jackson's orders were carried out so accu
rately by these men that, although over ten thousand men rested on
their arms for two hours or more within a mile of the right flank of
the Army of the Potomac, not a man deserted or escaped to give
warning of the coming storm."
From the date of his appointment as colonel he led his regiment in
all of the movements made by the Army of Northern Virginia, and
participated in all of its engagements up to a few days before he was
killed. On the 30th of May, 1864, while in command of Pegram's Brigade,
to which he had been assigned, while gallantly leading them he was-
wounded with a grapeshot, being carried from the field bleeding and
mortally wounded. He received the tenderest and most careful nurs
ing, and the best surgeons in the corps attended him and exerted all
their skill to stay the fell destroyer; but all in vain, the fiat had gone
forth and death came next morning. He was cut down in the vigor of
young manhood, when higher and brighter honors awaited him in his
brilliant and promising career as a military man. Thus, while on the
threshold of renown, his pure, gentle and brave spirit was stilled in

•death, and the life of one of the brightest and most promising young
•officers in the Confederate army was closed forever. He was devot
edly attached to our cause, and nothing could swerve him from the
path of duty, and no danger appalled him. No hardships were too
severe for his iron will if borne for his beloved country. While one
¦of the best drilled officers in our command and a strict disciplinarian,
he never wantonly overtaxed the strength or endurance of his men,
or treated them harshly. His disposition was kind, and his treatment
•of his soldiers so considerate that they soon learned to love and re
spect their young commander. With a lofty ambition and heroic
courage he braved every difficulty with cheerfulness. He not only
gained the love and respect of his own regiment, but that of every
good and true soldier in Doles' Brigade, and his death cast a heavy
gloom of sorrow over the whole command. His character was lofty
and pure, his demeanor dignified and courteous, and his bravery un
questioned. General Lee had made application to the War Depart
ment for his promotion as brigadier-general, and his commission came
the day after his death. As long as one of the Twelfth Georgia Reg
iment survives his memory will be cherished with a devotion that can
not be doubted and a never dying love.

lumbus, Ga., January 31, 1902.
Captain James R. McMichael was second lieutenant of Com
pany K when his company was mustered into service. He was
wounded at Second Manassas, captured at Spottsylvania, Va., and was

232 Doles-Cook Brigade.
one of the six hundred Confederate officers that were exposed to
the fire of our guns on Morris Island, S. C. He was a brave and
gallant officer and a modest and devout Christian gentleman. His
death occurred in Macon county, Ga., after the surrender.
Rev. A. M. Marshall, chaplain, was mustered into the service
as a private in Company G, June 26, 1861. He resigned 1863. His
record as a Confederate soldier is splendid. He is a Baptist minister
and resides in Putnam county, Ga. While faithfully serving his Mas
ter, he still cherishes the memory of the Lost Cause, and attends nearly
all of our reunions. The members of Company G love and respect
Parson Marshall, and hope that he may be spared many years to con
tinue his good work among our people.
Captain Josiah N. Beall was second sergeant in Company B,
when it was mustered into service. He was wounded at Sharpsburg,
Md. Every one liked Captain Beall, for he was a good-hearted and
genial man and a brave and gallant Confederate soldier. He was in
command of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment at the surrender of Lee's
army at Appomattox Court House, Va. He died a number of years
ago in Atlanta, Ga.
Lteutenant-Colonel Thaddeus B. Scott was captain of the
Muscogee Rifles when he entered the Confederate service. Wounded
at Cold Harbor, Va., June 2, 1862. Promoted lieutenant-colonel of
the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, November 5, 1862, and was killed at
Fredericksburg, Va., December 13, 1862, while acting gallantly and
doing his duty nobly as commander of his regiment. He was a brave
soldier and an accomplished gentleman. His death was a severe loss
to his regiment.
Captain James A. Whitesides was mustered into service as first
lieutenant of Company E ; wounded at Second Manassas. Captain
Whitesides was a brave and conscientious officer, and performed all
duties required of him cheerfully. He served throughout the entire
war, and died in Macon, Ga., after the surrender.
Captain James Everett was first lieutenant in Company F
when the Twelfth Georgia Regiment was organized. Was wounded
at Gettysburg, Pa. , and served throughout the entire war. He was a
brave and efficient officer who commanded the respect of his regi
ment and was beloved by the members of his company. He died in
Georgia after the surrender.

Captain Samuel Dawson was first lieutenant in the Muckalee
Guards, Company A, Twelfth Georgia Regiment, when it entered the
service of the Confederacy. He was killed at McDowell, Va., May
8, 1862, where so many of his regiment gave their lives in defense
of the South. He was a splendid officer and his bravery was con
spicuous. His loss was a great blow to his company, the regiment
deeply deplored his loss, and the army was deprived of the services
of one of its most efficient and faithful officers.
Major John T. Carson was mustered into the service as first lieu
tenant in Company C. He was captured in March, and released in
July, 1864. At Winchester, Va., on the 19th of September, 1864,
he was wounded, and died from the effects of that wound. Major
Carson was a man of strong character, a brave and efficient officer, an
earnest and enthusiastic Confederate, having implicit faith in the just
ness of our cause. He was kind and courteous to all with whom he
-came in contact, and was beloved by his comrades. In his death the
Twelfth Georgia Regiment lost one of its best and bravest officers.
Captain James W. Patterson, of Company I, was killed at Mc
Dowell, Va., May 8, 1862. He was a Virginian by birth, but moved
to Forsyth, Ga., previous to the war, where he taught school, read
law, and married. From there he moved to Valdosta, Ga., and prac
ticed law until the commencement of hostilities, when he enlisted in
the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. He was a gentleman of fine legal
-attainments and a brave and gallant soldier.
Dr. John R. Cook, assistant surgeon of the Twelfth Georgia Reg
iment, enlisted as second lieutenant in Company C. He resigned
•September 20, 1861. After his resignation he was assigned to hos
pital duty, and remained in this position until the close of the war.
He was a gentleman of fine literary attainments and a physician of
•considerable note. He located in Marshallville after the surrender
and practiced medicine until his death, which occurred in 1885.
Rev. F. G. Powlage enlisted as a private in Company A, June 15,
1861. He was first promoted hospital steward, and then chaplain of
the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. Resigned late in the war. Supposed
to be living in Alabama. He was a conscientious man, a good sol
dier, and a Christian gentleman.
Captain William L. Furlow was mustered into service as cap
tain of Company D. He was educated at the Georgia Military Acad
emy. He was a splendid man and a very efficient officer. His prom-

234 Doles-Cook Brigade.
ising career was cut short when he was only twenty-five years of age
by his untimely death at McDowell, Va., May 8, 1862. The casual
ties in this engagement were fearful for the number of men engaged,.
and many bright and promising lives were ended there, but amongst
this fearful carnage no purer or more promising life was closed than
that of Captain Furlow. He was modest and retiring in disposition,
but as brave and daring an officer as the South could boast of. He-
was deeply mourned by his comrades, and the surviving members of
his regiment revere his memory.
Wdlliam H. Hodnett enlisted as second corporal in Company D,.
and was promoted assistant surgeon of the Twelfth Georgia Regi
ment. He was a faithful and competent officer, a modest and consci
entious gentleman, who won the respect of his comrades. He died in<
Calhoun county after the surrender.
Captain James M. Briggs was mustered into service as second
lieutenant of Company I. He was a gallant and faithful officer, ever
ready to perform any duty required of him. He was killed at Wil
derness, Va., May 5, 1864. His death was deeply regretted both
by his company and regiment, for he was a true and tried soldier and.
an excellent gentleman.
Joseph A. Ansley was third sergeant of Company A when he
was mustered into service, and afterward promoted first sergeant. He
has been judge of both the county and superior courts of Sumter
county since the surrender, and has been successful in the practice of
law. He remained a member of his company until the close of the
war, and made a good soldier. He occupies a prominent position as-
a worthy citizen of his city and county.
Captain James G. Rodgers was in command of Company H.
when mustered into service. In the Seven Days' Battles around
Richmond he was in command of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, and
General Ewell, in his official report of the battle of Malvern Hill, com
pliments him very highly. At Sharpsburg, Md., he was killed in the
thickest of the fight, while gallantly leading his regiment. He was a
brave and accomplished officer and an excellent gentleman.
Caltain Oliver F. Evans, of Company H, was first sergeant of
his company when mustered into service. His bravery was unques
tioned and his devotion to duty was remarkable. He possessed every
virtue of the old-time Southern gentleman, and his religious charac
ter was noticeable. He still lives in his native city of Macon, Ga.,

where he is honored and respected by every one. Though burdened
with age his health is good, and his mental faculties are unimpaired.
May his life be prolonged for many years and his example be pro
ductive of much good to the rising generations.
Adjutant Newton T. Johnson enlisted as first sergeant of Com
pany C. He was wounded in the battle of the Wilderness, and re.
tired on account of disability. He was a brave and accomplished-
officer, and seemed to take pride in the performance of his duties.
He was a partner in the wholesale grocery firm of Jaques & Johnson,
of Macon, Ga., and accumulated quite a fortune after the surrender.
A number of years ago he died in Macon, Ga.
Captain David D. Peden enlisted as first lieutenant of the Cal
houn Rifles, Company D, Twelfth Georgia Regiment, June 26, 1861,
and on the 8th of May, 1862, was promoted captain. In the last
charge at Malvern Hill, Va., July 1, 1862, he lost an eye, which dis
abled him for some time, but he returned to the army and command
ed his company in the battle of Chancellorsville. Soon after this bat
tle, on account of impaired sight and disability from wound, he was
assigned to duty as inspector-general on the staff of Major-General
Robert E. Rodes, in recognition of meritorious service performed.
After the battle of Gettysburg he resigned because of feeble health,
and was assigned to post duty in Georgia until the close of the
war. In 1890, he moved to Houston, Texas, where he now re
sides, and, with his two sons, Edward A. and D. D. Jr. , is engaged in
the wholesale hardware business under the firm name of Peden &
Co. This venture has proved very successful, and their business con
tinues to grow. He was born in South Carolina, and at the age of
twelve his father moved to Georgia, and his education was received
in LaGrange and at the Georgia Military Institute. In 1868 he mar
ried Miss Fannie D. Plowden, who left the two sons named above
when she died in 1897. Captain Peden was a brave and accomplished
soldier, and is an intelligent and cultured gentleman. He is ever
ready to assist needy and deserving ex-Confederate soldiers, and
loves the cause for which he fought.
Dr. George W. Thomas, assistant surgeon of the Twelfth Geor
gia Regiment, enlisted as a private in Company A, and served
throughout the entire war. He was a genial, whole-souled and affa
ble gentleman. Extremely modest and retiring in his disposition, but
was ever ready to face any danger or obey any call to duty. He

seemed to be as cool and collected on the battle-field as on drill, and
did not appear to know what fear was. There was not a better or
braver soldier in the Confederate army than Dr. Thomas. He com
manded the respect of every member of his regiment. His death oc
curred in Eatonton, Ga., February 2, 1902.
Captain Alexander Sidney Reid was mustered into service as
second lieutenant in Company G. He surrendered with Lee's army at
Appomattox, Va., but was never wounded during the war, though it
was not because he did not expose himself, for in every battle he bore
himself with conspicuous gallantry. He was a brave and capable
officer, ever ready to go where duty called him. No officer in the
regiment was more popular, for he was always in a good humor with
himself and the rest of mankind, and he made friends wherever he
went. Every surviving member of his company loves, honors and
respects him, for he is still the whole-souled gentleman that he was in
the days that tried men's souls. He is still living in Eatonton, the
town of his nativity, where he is very popular.
Captain Abner R. Zachery was first corporal when he was mus
tered into service with Company G, and served during the entire war.
The war did not produce a braver, better or more ardent soldier.
After the surrender he moved to Morgan county, Ga., where he
farmed. While sitting with his family on the night of December 16,
1896, he was murdered ; the assassin fired through a window and he
was instantly killed. What could have prompted the cowardly and
dastardly deed is shrouded in mystery, and will probably remain so.
It was not believed that he had an enemy in the world, for his whole
soul seemed to be filled with love for his fellow men. The members
of his company who were still in life at the date of his death were
shocked at the terrible tragedy, and their sympathies still go out to
his grief-stricken wife and children.
Lieutenant-Colonel Isaac Hardeman entered the service as
first sergeant in Company B. He was captured at Spottsylvania, Va.,
May 10, 1864, and remained a prisoner until July, 1865. Therefore,
by reason of his imprisonment he was never promoted colonel of the
regiment, although a vacancy existed from July, 1864, until the close
of the war in April, 1865, to which he would have been promoted,
for he was entitled to this promotion and was thoroughly competent
to stand the examination. He was a brave, gallant and competent

officer. He is now a resident of Macon, Ga., a distinguished lawyer,
enjoying a large and lucrative practice. He is also prominent in city
affairs, and commander of one of the Confederate camps there.
Captain William F. Brown was mustered into service as com
mander of Company F when he was sixty years old. In all of the
engagements in which he participated up to the time of his death he
exhibited unusual courage. He was in command of the Twelfth
Georgia Regiment at Cedar Creek, or Slaughter Mountain, and Sec
ond Manassas until General Trimble was wounded, when he was
placed in command of the brigade, and served in this capacity
throughout the battle with great credit to himself and the brigade, and
while still occupying this position was killed at Ox Hill, Va. , on the
1st of September, 1862. The complimentary remarks made by Gen
eral Early of his conduct at Cedar Creek or Slaughter Mountain are
given in full in the history of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. He
was ever ready for duty, and no one was more devoted to our cause
than this grand old man.
Captain Peyton T. Pitts was in command of Company B when
he entered the Confederate service. He resigned October 17, 1861.
Therefore he saw but little service. He was a man of culture and
pleasant in his manners to every one with whom he came in contact.
He' died in Jones county, Ga. , in 1885.
Captain Richard T. Davis enlisted as commander of Company
G. He was born in Newton county, Ga.; moved to Eatonton, where
he married and practiced law a number of years previous to the war.
He was a lawyer of decided ability, and enjoyed a large and lucra
tive practice. He was conspicuous for his many noble traits of char
acter and extraordinary bravery. While as brave as the bravest, he
was as modest and as tender as a woman. His company almost idol
ized him, and the citizens of his adopted county honored and respec
ted him for his many virtues. At McDowell, Va., on the 8th of
May, 1862, he received a flesh wound in the thigh, from which he
died soon afterwards. No truer patriot, better citizen or more sin
cere Christian ever lived than Captain Richard T. Davis.
William C. Bannon enlisted in Company C as a private, but was pro
moted sergeant-major, and for several months before the war closed act
ed as adjutant of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. He was born in the
State of New York, but resided in Macon county, Ga., when the war
commenced. After the surrender he moved to Hudson, N. Y. , where he

engaged in the hotel business. While on a visit to Macon, Ga., in 1901,
he died, and the following resolutions were adopted by the Veterans'
Association of the Twelfth Georgia, which was in annual session :
"Whereas, Our comrade, friend and brother, William C. Bannon
of Hudson, N. Y. , who was a member of the Twelfth Georgia Regi
ment during the War between the States, June, 1861, to April, 1865,
and who came to the city of Macon on Saturday the 19th to meet his
old friends and attend the Reunion of the Confederate Veterans here
the 23d and 24th inst. ; and
"Whereas, He suddenly died at the residence of his niece, Mrs.
Charles J. Bannon, at one thirty o'clock on Sunday the 20th ; there
fore, " Resolved, That we his comrades and friends, who admired and
loved him in war and peace, feel keenly the sad providence by which
he was so suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us; that we will
¦cherish his memory as a gallant soldier, an- honest citizen and a true
Christian friend ; that our heartfelt sympathies are hereby tendered to
his grief-stricken family.
(Signed) "A. S. Reid, Chairman,
"Veterans' Association, Twelfth Georgia Regiment."
Captain Thomas W. Harris was mustered into service as a private
in Company C. Captured at Spottsylvania, Va. , and was one of the
-six hundred Confederate officers exposed to the fire of our guns on
Morris Island, S. C. He was graduated at Oxford, Ga. He is a
¦splendid gentleman and a devout Christian, but not one of those long-
faced, sad looking members of the church that we sometimes meet,
but a good-hearted, jovial gentleman who is full of fun and enjoys a
good joke, even if it is at his own expense. Captain Harris was a
"brave and gallant soldier. His residence is now in Chicago, HI.
W. F. Jenkins enlisted as a private in Company G, and surrendered
at Appomattox, Va. After the close of the war he went to the
University of Virginia and was graduated from the Law Department
of that institution with high honors. He returned to Eatonton and
commenced the practice of law and soon had a large and lucrative
practice. He has represented Putnam county in the General Assem
bly of Georgia, served as judge of the Ocmulgee Circuit for eight
years, and is now a trustee of the Georgia Soldiers' Home. There
was no better soldier in the Confederate army than Frank Jenkins.
He is a noble and gifted man, and his friends are innumerable.

First Sergeant Company B, Twelfth Georgia Regiment.
Now Associate Justice Supreme Court of Missouri.

Judge James B. Gannt, of the Supreme Court of Missouri, was
horn in Putnam county, Ga., but enlisted in Company B as a private
and was promoted to first sergeant. He was wounded and disabled at
Cedar Creek, Va., October 19, 1864, and after the surrender of Lee's
army paroled in Milledgeville, Ga. He read law under Judge L. N.
Whittle of Macon, Ga., entered the University of Virginia and was
graduated from that institution in 1868. He then moved to Missouri
:and opened a law office in Clinton. In 1875 he became a law partner
of Senator George G. Vest and moved to Sedalia ; afterward he re
turned to Clinton and was elected circuit judge of the Twenty-second
Judicial District, and held the position for one term, when he declined
to again make the race, but opposed Hon. William J. Stone for Con
gress and was defeated by only one vote. In 1890 he was elected
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court for a period of ten years.
From 1898 to 1900 he was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He
was reelected Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in 1900 for ten
years. The Kansas City Star states that the strongest elements in the
democratic party are looking to him as a probable leader of the party
in the campaign of 1904 for Governor of the State. He was a brave
and gallant Confederate soldier.
Captain John McMillan went into service as captain of the Davis
Rifles, Company C, Twelfth Georgia Regiment. He was killed in the
memorable battle of McDowell, Va., May 8, 1862, where the regi
ment lost four captains and four lieutenants killed on the field, and
two hundred and fifty non-commissioned officers and men killed and
wounded in action. There was not a more accomplished or braver
officer in the regiment. He was a man of fine character, kind to his
men, and beloved by every one. In his death the regiment lost one
of its best and most competent officers.
Captain Shepard G, Pryor entered the service as second sergeant
in the Muckalee Guards, Company A, Twelfth Georgia Regiment,
and was promoted successively until he became captain on the 8th of
May, 1862. x He was elected sheriff of Sumter county, Ga., and re
signed his commission as captain in June, 1864, to accept the position
tendered by his county. He was a brave and efficient officer and com
manded the confidence and respect of every member of his company.
He died in Sumter county after the surrender.
Captain Joseph E. Market was mustered into service as a private
soldier in the Muckalee Guards, Company A, Twelfth Georgia Regi-

240 Doles-Cook Brigade.
ment, June 26, 1861. Promoted junior second lieutenant in Decem
ber, 1861. Wounded at McDowell, Va. , May 8, 1862. He was made
second and first lieutenant in 1862 and captain in 1864. Wounded at
Fort Steadman, Va., March 25, 1865. Captain Market was a bold,
daring and brave man, always ready to answer the call of duty. His-
company loved and respected him for his bravery and devotion to duty
and the cause which he espoused. He died in Americus, Ga., 1888.
Captain Richmond A. Reid was mustered into service as a private
soldier in the Putnam Light Infantry, Company G. He was after
wards appointed commissary of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, and
later on provost marshal of Jackson's Corps. He was a popular man
both at home and in the army, and his conduct in the positions he
occupied gave universal satisfaction. He was jovial and good-natured,
and made friends wherever he went. The sympathies of his comrades
and of the entire community were with his family when his death oc
curred in Eatonton, Ga., after the surrender, for their loss was great
and irreparable.
Lieutenant Edward Waterman was mustered into service as-
second sergeant of Company H, Twelfth Georgia Regiment. He was
promoted successively until he became first lieutenant. He was killed
on the day of the evacuation of Petersburg, Va., April 2, 1865. No
purer, better or braver soldier gave up his life in defense of the South
than the peerless Ed Waterman. He seemed to be in love with every
thing that was good, pure, true and noble, and every one who knew
him loved, honored and respected him, for his character was in deed
and in truth lovely. He died as he had lived, a devout and earnest
Christian. His great loss to his comrades, friends and the South was
his eternal gain.
Lieutenant John W. Dixon enlisted as a private in the Davis-
Rifles, Twelfth Georgia Regiment, June, 1861, and was promoted suc
cessively until he became first lieutenant in 1863. Wounded near
Washington, D. C, Cedar Creek and Fort Steadman and surrendered
at Appomattox, Va. There was not a better or braver soldier in the
army ; he was ever ready to perform any duty for the good of our cause.
He is of a kind and obliging disposition and makes friends wherever
he goes. His comrades are very fond of him, for they know that there
is no deception in his nature, but that he is a true man. He is now
a resident of Birmingham, Ala.

A WOUNDED CONFEDERATE.

BY CHAPLAIN NORMAN FOX, SEVENTY-SEVENTH NEW YORK
VOLUNTEERS.
On the evening of May 10, at Spottsylvania, under the leadership
of General Upton, a column of a dozen selected regiments, including
my own, all of the Sixth Corps (Sedgwick's), made a charge ; and,
although the movement was unsuccessful in the end, they held for a
time a portion of the Confederate works.
Among the wounded brought to the rear was a boy in gray, Private
Thomas J. Roberts, of Company I, Twelfth Georgia. We lifted him
from the ambulance, and having spread a blanket on the grass and
laid him on it, I called a surgeon. A minie ball had struck him in
the groin, and but a slight examination was enough to show that the
wound was fatal. He was a mere boy, and I can still see his really
beautiful face as he lifted his dark, lustrous eyes to mine. It was
little that I could do for him, but I spoke such words of comfort as I
-could command. He showed fortitude and cheerfulness for one in so
sad a situation, and he told me about his friends at home, speaking
also of those from his own family circle who had already been killed
in the war. While we were talking he asked for a drink of water. I
brought it, and as I raised him to a sitting posture so that he could
drink he leaned his head forward upon my shoulder, and without a
struggle was dead. We could give him only the rude burial of a
soldier, but over his grave was lifted the prayer that the God of all
•comfort would tenderly support those far away who would wait in vain
the return of the boy of their love and hopes.
Often since that night have I thought of that Southern soldier lad
who died actually in my arms, as if in a mother's embrace, and I pep
this reminiscence that possibly it may make known to some surviving
-comrade or dear one that in his last hour what little could be done for
him was tenderly performed.
More than one of those of my regiment who, being wounded, fell
into the hands of the enemy spoke afterwards of kindnesses shown
them by Southern soldiers. Thanks, noble Confederate veterans, for
acts of tenderness to those whom the stern fortunes of war cast at your

feet. Your names may be unknown to the Northern mothers and
sisters of those to whom you showed kindness, but their prayers have
gone up to God for you all the same. You yourself may have for
gotten your gentle deeds, deeming them little things, but God's angels
bave kept the records of them all.

IN MEMORY OF CAPTAIN JOHN McMILLAN, WIL
LIE McCASKILL AND DONNIE McCASKILL.
On old Virginia's hallowed sod
No braver trio ever trod
Than Will McCaskill, gallant Don
And bold McMillan — Captain John.
The leader of a chosen band
Left home, his friends, his native land ;
In Freedom's cause he gave his life,
In far-famed McDowell's fatal strife.
They found brave Will among the slain
At Cedar Run — Virginia's plain ;
He died as heroes love to die,
While shouts of triumph rent the sky.
In camp — alone— no loved ones near,
No mother's — sister's voice to cheer,
Young Donnie's earthly course was run,
Death's river crossed, Heaven's vict'ry won.
" Here sleeps these brave who sank to rest
By all their country's wishes blest ;
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold ,
Returns to deck their hallowed mold,
She here shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod."
By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By childish tongues their praise is suDg ;
Here woman conies, Memorial day,
To deck the turf that wraps their clay.
With violets, roses, lilies fair,
We'll scatter sweetest flowers there,
And ne'er, while love our hearts doth sway,
Will we forget our boys in grey.

Battle-Flag of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 339

BATTLE-FLAG OF THE TWELFTH GEORGIA
REGIMENT.
In a history published by the People's Publishing Company of
Philadelphia, Pa., entitled "Under Both Flags," on page 208, there is
a picture of a flag purporting to be the battle-flag of the Twelfth
Georgia Regiment, which one Captain W. N. Green, of the One
Hundred and Second New York Regiment, claims to have captured at
the battle of Chancellorsville, Va., and in volume XXV., part  ,
page 765, one Colonel James C. Lane, of the One Hundred and
Second New York State Volunteers, in his official report of the battle
of Chancellorsville, says : "The One Hundred and Second being
within rifle-shot, left the trenches and formed at right angles to it and
poured volleys of musketry into the advancing rebels, which halted
them, giving these regiments time to withdraw. After they had passed
rebels came in on both sides, left and right, saying we were surrounded
and must surrender, but instead of doing so we disarmed two com
missioned officers, one flag-sergeant and twenty privates, taking the
flag and bringing our prisoners safe to the rear. The battle-flag and
prisoners were from the Twelfth Georgia Volunteers."
We denounce both of the above statements as utterly false, for the
Twelfth Georgia Regiment did not lose a flag during the entire period
of the war.
A denial of the surviving members of the Twelfth Georgia Regi
ment, at their annual reunion, held in Atlanta, Ga., is herewith pre
sented : Atlanta, Ga., July 21, 1898.
At a meeting of the Doles- Cook Brigade Survivors' Association
the veterans of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment issued the following
address :
"To all Confederate Veterans and lovers of true history and justice.
" We the survivors of the Twelfth Regiment, Georgia Volun
teers, call your attention to an illustration on page 208 in a history
published by People's Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., en
titled 'Under Both Flags.' The picture represents the capture of
the battle-flag of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, on the battle-field of
Chancellorsville, Va., by one Captain W. N. Green, of the One
Hundred and Second New York Regiment.

340 Doles-Cook Brigade.
"We, the undersigned, were in that battle, and members of the
glorious old Twelfth Georgia, and hereby declare unto the world, and
especially to the honest veterans of both the armies of the North and
South, that this picture is a slander on one of the best regiments in
history. "We appeal, as honest patriots of a reunited Union and as proud
survivors of our famous regiment, to the honesty and justice of the
people of this day, and to all Confederate camps, and especially to
the committee on the history of the war, to have this false statement
corrected. "On July 22, 1898, it was moved, seconded and adopted that the
Association of Survivors of the Doles-Cook Brigade indorse as a
brigade the declaration made in a card, and published in the Atlanta
Constitution and Journal, of July 21, 1898, denouncing the alleged
capture of the battle-flag of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, as false.''
[ Brigadier-General George Doles, our commander, in his official re
port of the battle of Chancellorsville, on page 969, volume XXV.,
part  , War of the Rebellion, reports one officer and eleven enlisted
men killed, four officers and fifty-four enlisted men wounded, and only
two enlisted men missing — making the total casualties in the Twelfth
Georgia Regiment, in killed, wounded and missing, seventy-two, but
does not report the loss of a single battle-flag in his brigade. Major-
General R. E. Rodes, our division commander, in his official report
of the battle of Chancellorsville, on pages 949 and 950, volume XXV.,
part  , War of the Rebellion, reports eleven flags captured from
the enemy and three flags lost by his division. Two of the flags were
lost by North Carolina Regiments, and one by an Alabama Regiment.
It is always the duty of the commanding officer of regiments to
report the loss of colors, and a failure to do so would be considered a
breach of honor and discipline. It is equally the duty of brigade and
division commanders to embody such loss in their reports. The fact
that no such statement occurs in any Southern report would of itself
be sufficient refutation.
From the foregoing it will be seen that our denunciation of the
falsity of the capture of the battle-flag of the Twelfth Georgia Regi
ment, at Chancellorsville, Va., May, 1863, is fully sustained by ex
tracts from official reports issued by the United States Government.
It is evident that the officers who reported the capture of this flag
were mistaken as to the command from whom the capture was made,
or they maliciously made false statements in regard to the matter with

Battle-Flag of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. 341
the intention of injuring the reputation of the Twelfth Georgia Regi
ment. In either event we are justified by the official reports in de
nouncing the story of the capture as false.]

submit the foregoing report.

History of the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment.

CHAPTER IV.
At the request of many of our comrades of the gallant old Twenty-
first, we have undertaken, by collaboration, to write a brief history
of the regiment.
After a lapse of forty years, with little outside of our memories to
depend upon, there must of necessity be many things of importance
omitted, and in some instances the facts given may not be as full and
explicit as they should be, and again, the incidents related and the
chronological order in which they are written may vary somewhat
from the memory of other survivors of the regiment, but we have
endeavored to perpetuate in this volume nothing but the plain un
varnished truth of history. We therefore beg the careful reading of
every survivor of the dear old regiment, and if any inaccuracies are
discovered, that we may be notified of same so that proper correction
may be made, in order that the history of our achievements may be
handed down to posterity absolutely correct.
While the seat of the Confederate Government was in Montgom
ery, Ala. , Captain James J. Morrison of the United States Cavalry
service resigned his position in the regular army and went to Mont
gomery and tendered his services to President Jefferson Davis, and
asked to raise a regiment of cavalry for the Confederate service. Presi
dent Davis told him that he thought the bulk of the fighting would
be in Virginia, and that from the nature of the service that would be
required of the cavalry, he thought it best that the cavalry arm of
the army should be composed of Virginians who knew the coun
try. He would, however, authorize him to raise a regiment of Infan
try Volunteers for service in Virginia.
In the meantime the call to arms was resounding throughout the
State, and companies were being organized for the defense of the
South against the hordes from the North. A number of gentlemen
who had organized companies tendered their services to Governor Jo
seph E. Brown, the war governor of Georgia, but in consequence of
(842)

History of the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment. 343
some disagreement with President Davis the services of these organi
zations were rejected by Governor Brown. It becoming known that
Morrison had authority from President Davis to organize a regiment,
correspondence was opened between him and a number of those who
had been elected captains of companies, and upon a prearranged date
in the latter part of April, 1861, these captains met Colonel Morrison
in Rome, Georgia, to perfect an organization.
At this meeting J. J. Morrison was elected colonel, Daniel S.
Printup, of Rome, lieutenant- colonel, and Alexander M. Wallace, of
Atlanta, major.
It was also agreed at this Rome meeting that each captain should
take his company to Richmond as soon as possible, and Lieutenant-
Colonel Printup was designated to go on to Richmond and prepare a
camp and have everything ready for the men as they should arrive.
From a lack of transportation and uniforms it was the middle of
June before any of them reached Richmond.
Lieutenant-Colonel Printup had arranged for the regiment to ren
dezvous at the old fair grounds, and after being there for quite a
while, Companies A and C, which were mustered into the Confederate
service on June 6, 1861, arrived, and were then known as the
" Fourth Georgia Battalion." After this the other companies of the
regiment were mustered in as they arrived, as follows :
Company B, June 24, 1861 ; Company E, June 24, 1861 ; Com
pany D, June 27, 1861 ; Company H, July 2, 1861 ; Company G,
July 4, 1861 ; Company F, July 9, 1861 ; Company I, July 17,
1861 ; Company K, August 28, 1861.
In May, 1862, Company E, above (captain, J. R. Hart), was trans
ferred to the cavalry and assigned to service in the Western Army in
Tennessee and Kentucky. From this time there were only nine com
panies in the regiment until the latter part of 1864, another com
pany, E (captain, Edward Smith), was attached to the regiment.
On July 17, 1861, the services of the regiment, as then organized,
were formally tendered to President Davis, and while he accepted the
services of the regiment, he declined to do so under the officers as
then constituted, claiming the right to appoint the regimental officers ;
and in pursuance of this claim of right, the President, at the sug
gestion of J. J. Morrison, appointed John T. Mercer (a cousin of
Colonel Morrison), who had just resigned a first lieutenancy in the
First Dragoons of the regular army, to the colonelcy of the regi
ment. He then appointed J. J. Morrison lieutenant-colonel, Alex-

344 Doles-Cook Brigade.
ander M. Wallace, major, and Thomas W. Hooper, adjutant. These
appointments were made July 19 and 20, 1861.
Wallace refused to accept the office of major, and never did join
the regiment. Shortly afterwards he was made lieutenant-colonel of
another regiment, and served with distinction throughout the war. On
September 27, 1861, Adjutant Thomas W. Hooper was promoted to
major of the regiment, and Thomas J. Verdery, of Augusta, Ga., on
October 12, 1861, was made adjutant of the regiment.
In March, 1862, Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison was promoted to a
colonelcy and given permission to organize a regiment of cavalry for
service in the Army of Tennessee. He came home and organized the
First Georgia Cavalry Regiment and served with marked distinction
throughout the war, being promoted to brigadier-general and having
command of a brigade for nearly two years before the close of the war.
On the promotion and transfer of Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison,
Major Thomas W. Hooper was promoted to lieutenant-colonel, and
Captain Thomas C. Glover, of Company A, was made major.
Adjutant Thomas J. Verdery was killed in battle at Fredericks
burg, Va. , on January 4, 1863, when Captain Lee F. Bakewell, of
New Orleans, La. , who had been a captain in Wheat's famous bat
talion of Louisiana Tigers, was assigned to the regiment as adjutant,
and served in that capacity until he was killed at Fort Steadman,
Petersburg, Va., March 25, 1865. Of Captain Bakewell too much
in his praise can not be said. He was as pitying and tender as a wo
man, yet as brave and fearless as a Marshal Ney. He was as true a
friend to those whom he liked as truth itself, and held himself en
tirely aloof from everything that pertained to littleness or meanness.
He was one of God's true noblemen — a gentleman. When he was
killed he had a sixty days' furlough in his pocket, but persistently
refused to take advantage of it and leave the army even a day while
the boys were daily fighting.
On April 18, 1864, at Plymouth, N. C, Colonel John T. Mercer
was killed in battle, and Lieutenant-Colonel Hooper was promoted to
the colonelcy, Major Thomas C. Glover to lieutenant-colonel, and
Captain Michael Lynch, of Company I, to major.
On September 19, 1864, at Winchester, Va., Lieutenant-Colonel
Glover was killed in battle, it being the one hundred and seventh en
gagement in which he had led his men, not one of whom but that
loved and revered him as a child does its father, and who would have

followed him into the very jaws of hell, had he but said " Come on,
boys." At the formal organization of the regiment, July 19, 1861, Dr.
Cicero Holt was appointed surgeon, and Dr. LeGrande C. Capers, of
Savannah, Ga., assistant surgeon. On February 20, 1862, Dr. Holt
was discharged from the army and Dr. Capers made surgeon and Dr.
W. F. Dewitt assistant surgeon. In the fall of 1862, Dr. Dewitt
was transferred and Dr. A. E. McGarrity appointed assistant surgeon.
Drs. Capers and McGarrity remained in charge of the medical depart
ment of the regiment until the early fall of 1863, when they were
transferred to other commands, and that grandest of medical men,
Dr. Louis E. Gott, of Alexandria, Va., was assigned to the regiment
as surgeon, and Dr. C. E. Cowherd as assistant surgeon.
Dr. Louis E. Gott, although still living, is another, like the brave
and lamented Glover and Bakewell, whose memory should be pre
served and honored by the descendants of the brave men of the Twenty-
first Georgia, for the aid, comfort and consolation he gave their fath
ers when sick, wounded and dying, and that this may be done, we beg
the indulgence of the readers that we may here present an extract from
a letter written by him in answer to one asking for some facts in connec
tion with his services for the Confederacy. Dr. Gott is now an old man,
and this letter, though written nearly forty years after the war
and necessarily omitting many things of which he was cognizant at
the time, will still be read with interest by the survivors of the regi
ment, and we hope by their descendants :
"Falls Church, Va., May 25, 1901.
" Before my connection with the Twenty-first Georgia
Regiment began, I had served in the capacity of medical officer in a
number of commands, entering the Confederate service as an assistant
surgeon under General John Bankhead Magruder ; my first service
was in charge of batteries in front of Yorktown. I was relieved by
a Dr. Todd, a brother-in-law of President Abraham Lincoln, who was
a Southern man and chose to attach himself to the Confederacy rather
than take a more promising position under his distinguished relative.
From Yorktown I was ordered to Williamsburg, and placed in charge
of the hospital at that point, located in the Baptist Church. From
Williamsburg I was ordered to Mulberry Island, James River, not
far from Newport News, where I was medical officer to a detached
company of infantry stationed there in charge of heavy ordnance.

346 Doles-Cook Brigade.
" When McClellan made his appearance at Yorktown we fell back
with Joe Johnston, abandoning this island. Our company was placed
aboard the little gunboat " Teaser," Captain Ward, and taken to Rich
mond to join its regiment. I reported to the surgeon-general and
was ordered to Camp Winder Hospital, just outside of Richmond.
This was some weeks before the battle of Seven Pines. After the
seven days' fight was over I was ordered to report to the Forty-ninth
Virginia Regiment, at that time a part of Mahone's Brigade, under
Colonel William Smith, subsequently governor of the State, and
known as "Extra Billy." The regiment was soon after transferred
to Early's Brigade, and saw service with that regiment up to and in
cluding the battle of Gettysburg, taking part in the battles of Slaugh
ter Mountain, Second Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Win
chester, and finally Gettysburg, after which I became attached to the
Twenty-first Georgia as its surgeon.
' ' After the battle of Gettysburg I was ordered to remain with the
wounded of Early's Division at the hospital five miles from Gettys
burg on the Fairfield road. I was there about three weeks, when I
was taken as a prisoner of war to Fort Henry, near Baltimore, and
confined therein about six weeks, when I was exchanged, and returned
to Richmond. Again reporting to the surgeon-general I received my
orders to report to the medical director of the Army of Northern
Virginia for assignment to duty. My place in the Forty-ninth Vir
ginia Regiment having been supplied, I was ordered to report to the
medical director of Rodes' Division, and he assigned me to the Twenty-
first Georgia Regiment, stationed near Orange Court House. This
was early in the fall of 1863, the exact date I can not now recall.
" The regiment under detached service accompanied General Pickett
to North Carolina for the purpose of capturing Newberne, which we
failed to accomplish. We came back to Kinston, N. C, remaining
there for some time. Pickett went back, and subsequently we were
put under command of General Hoke, under whom we participated
in the battle of Plymouth. The colonel of the regiment, John Mer
cer, who commanded the left wing of the army in that fight, was
killed by a shot through the head. He was a brave as well as a tal
ented man. Hooper succeeded Mercer as colonel, and Major Glover
was made lieutenant-colonel.
"After the battle of Plymouth we were hurried back to Petersburg,
and then followed the battle of Drewry's Bluff, in May, 1864. Grant
and Lee were then fighting in the Wilderness and Spottsylvania.

History of the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment. 347
From Drewry's Bluff we went to Guinea Station on the Richmond
and Fredericksburg railroad. There we joined the Army of Northern
Virginia as a part of Doles' Brigade, Rodes' Division. Falling back
from this point we marched parallel with Grant's army, watching his
movements and anticipating his plans. We had several fights before
Grant reached the James, in one of which General Doles was killed.
I was talking with the general not more than half an hour before his
death. Everything was quiet, no enemy in sight, when suddenly the
enemy marched from behind the woods, and in the engagement the
gallant Doles fell shot through the heart. When we got around in
front of Richmond we pushed on to Lynchburg to attack Gen
eral Hunter, he falling back at our approach, retreating by the
PeakB of Otter up the Kanawha Valley, while we went by way
of Staunton and Winchester, crossed the Potomac below Shepherds
town and hurried on unimpeded to Frederick City, Maryland. There
we had a fight with General Lew Wallace, driving him off, he re
treating towards Baltimore. We marched to Rockville, from which
place we approached Washington, and had a skirmish with the Fed
eral troops at Brightwood within sight of that city. The Nineteenth
Army Corps under Wright coming up next day, we were compelled
to fall back to Rockville, from which point we marched towards the
Potomac, crossing at Edward's Ferry to Leesburg, Va. Pushing on
to the Blue Ridge we crossed the Shenandoah at Snicker's Ferry, fol
lowed closely by the Nineteenth Army Corps. Here Early fell back,
and after permitting Wright to cross the Shenandoah he attacked and
drove him back, when the enemy gave up the chase, and we pro
ceeded. In this battle near Snicker's Ferry, Lieutenant Glover, a
relative of Colonel Glover, was seriously wounded.
" The next battle in which we participated was the battle of Kerns-
town with Sheridan's forces, in which the enemy was driven back.
We took part in the battle of Winchester, September 19, 1864, where
Colonel Glover and General Rodes were killed. Forced to retreat, we
fell back to Strasburg, where we remained nearly a month, when
Sheridan made his famous advance down the valley, and on the 19th
of October we fought the battle of Cedar Creek. In the first part of
this fight we were successful, but in the afternoon we were driven
back to Fisher's Hill. We remained here four or five days, and
Sheridan advancing we were compelled to again retreat. After this
the division was sent back to the Army of Northern Virginia at
Petersburg, and put in the trenches around that city.

348 Doles-Cook Brigade.
" The next engagement in which our regiment took prominent part
was near Hatcher's Run to the right of Petersburg, the enemy's sor
ties being repulsed in a number of instances.
" The next general fight was Fort Steadman, which proved a failure
on our part. In this fight, Lee F. Bakewell, the adjutant of the reg
iment was killed. He was a native of Cincinnati, a gallant fellow
and brave as a lion. General Cook was wounded during this fight in
the arm, though not seriously. We remained in the fortifications in
front of Petersburg until the army fell back to Appomattox Court
House, where I surrendered with the regiment, then under command
of Captain Edward Smith.
"With kindest regards, I beg to remain,
"Yours very sincerely,
"L. E. Gott, M.D."
At the organization of the regiment, July 19, 1861, R. 0. Barrett
was made commissary, D. M. Hood, quartermaster and Benjamin P.
Bartow, sergeant-major. In May, 1863, William Haslett was made
chaplain of the regiment, S. P. Rowland, sergeant-major and George
Darden, ordnance sergeant. April, 1864, S. J. Rowland was made
ordnance sergeant and W. J. Duke, sergeant-major; R. O. Barrett
was succeeded as commissary by George F. Hoover, and then by B. A.
Camp ; D. M. Hood was succeeded as quartermaster-sergeant by
L. H. Dawson, then by W. M. Danforth, next George F. Hoover
and then A. J. Whitlock. Joseph S. Glover was the original color
sergeant, and being elected to a lieutenancy in Company A, was suc
ceeded by John Tucker, who was afterwards captain of Company B.
F. P. Parker was the original ensign. He was killed at Chancellors
ville, and was succeeded by James D. King, who was killed at
Drewry's Bluff, May 16, 1864.
The brigadier-generals under whom the regiment served were Crit
tenden, Trimble, Hoke, Doles and Cook.
The original companies of the regiment were :
A, Campbell county  Captain, T. C. Glover.
B, Floyd county  Captain, A. S. Hamilton.
C, Fulton county  Captain, J. F. Waddail.
D, Polk county  Captain, S. A. Borders.
E, Floyd county  Captain, J. R.Hart.
F, Troup county  Captain, J. T. Boykin.
G, Gordon county  Captain, W. Kinman.

H, Dade county  Captain, J. C. Nesbett.
T, Stewart county  Captain, M. Lynch.
K, Chattooga county  Captain, J. B. Akridge.
As stated above, the companies were mustered into service at differ
ent times and the command was originally designated the Fourth
Georgia Battalion ; some of the companies being late in arriving at
Richmond, and in the meantime other regiments having been organ
ized, when the command was changed from a battalion to a regiment
it had to take a number. (21st) much higher than other regiments that
had gone into the service after this one.
Just after the first battle of Manassas, the regiment was ordered
from Richmond to Manassas, and just then began a feud among some
of the officers that grew and spread and lasted until death claimed
the principal, Colonel Mercer.
Before going into the army Captain Glover was one of the most
eminent physicians in the State. When the order came to go to Ma
nassas a large number of the regiment were down in their tents with
measles. When the order to strike tents was received the rain was
pouring down in torrents, and Captain Glover went to Colonel Mercer
and asked that the tents be not struck down from over the men sick
with measles, stating the danger to their lives that would ensue from
their getting wet.
Colonel Mercer refused to listen to him, and peremptorily ordered
the tents down. Captain Glover refused to obey the order so far as
his company's sick were concerned, and was placed in arrest. The
command of the company then devolved on the first lieutenant, who
obeyed the order, struck the tents and left about twenty men with
measles lying in the rain. Almost all the other company officers of
the regiment took sides with Captain Glover, and the breach thus
made was never healed as long as the principals lived.
On arriving at Manassas, under command of General Crittenden,
the regiment went into camp and a few days later the arrested officers
were returned to duty without anything further having been done.
We remained at Manassas in quarters until the retreat of General
Johnston in the spring of 1862. While at Manassas that bravest of
Marylanders and most chivalrous of gentlemen, General Trimble, was
assigned to the command of the brigade, which was composed of the
Fifteenth Alabama, Sixteenth Mississippi, Twenty-first North Caro
lina and Twenty-first Georgia Regiments and First North Carolina
Battalion, and assigned to Ewell's Division.

350 Doles-Cook Brigade.
On leaving Manassas, after crossing the Rappahannock river, the
brigade was ordered to the Shenandoah Valley to join Stonewall Jack
son, and almost immediately on arrival, on May 23, 1862, went into
the battle of Front Royal, where the conspicuous gallantry displayed
by the brigade, and especially by the Twenty-first North Carolina and
Twenty-first Georgia, which were under the most galling fire, gained
for them the appellation applied by General Trimble, "My two
Twenty-ones." Two days later, May 25, we were rushed into the battle of Win
chester. In this battle the Federals were strongly posted behind a
stone fence. Repeated charges had been made on this stone fence and
repulsed, and the day seemed almost lost, when the Twenty-first Geor
gia was ordered forward to make an assault and carry the works, which
they did in fine style. The remainder of the division following
poured over the fence after the enemy, who was completely routed,
and the day was saved to the Confederates. Following closely on the
heels of the battle of Winchester came the battle of Strasburg, in
which the regiment took an active part. Soon thereafter came the
battle of Cross Keys, in which the Twenty-first Georgia drove the
enemy from the field and captured a stand of colors for which the
regiment was publicly thanked and highly complimented by General
Ewell. In his report of the battle of Cross Keys, General Ewell says :
" Brigadier-General Trimble, Seventh Brigade, had the brunt of the
action and is entitled to most thanks.
" Colonel Bradley T. Johnson (First Maryland), Colonel Carnot
Posey (Sixteenth Mississippi), Colonel J. T. Mercer (Twenty-first
Georgia), Captain Courtney (of the Courtney Battery), are officers
who were able to render highly valuable service.
" I regret that I can not go more into details of those lower in rank,
whose gallant services are recompensed by the esteem of their com
rades and their own self-approval — after all the highest and most
enduring record."
Soon thereafter came on the battle of Port Republic, the last of
"Jackson's First Valley Campaign," in which the regiment took an
active part.
After this battle we were sent forward to reinforce General Lee at
Chickahominy, and reached the battle-fields in time to go through
with all the terrible assaults made by Stonewall Jackson June 25 to

History of the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment. 351
July 1, 1862, at Mechanicsville, Chickahominy, Cold Harbor, Fra-
zier's Farm, Savage Station, Malvern Hill, etc. , in all of which the
regiment lost heavily, but not in a single instance did they ever shirk
their duty or give up a single inch of ground captured.
After the seven days' fight we moved back towards the Rappahan
nock river. On August 9, 1862, we met and engaged General Pope
at Cedar Run, after which Jackson moved up the river to find a cross
ing to reach Pope's rear. The Twenty-first Georgia and Twenty-first
North Carolina (Trimble's two Twenty-ones) were ordered to ford
Hazel Run, a tributary of the Rappahannock. After crossing and
taking up a position, we were attacked by a full brigade of renegade
Virginians carrying the Virginia flag. A heavy picket line reached
our rear and captured our ambulance. Company A, Twenty-first
Georgia, was thrown forward to find the position of the main body,
being closely followed by the remainder of the regiment and the
Twenty-first North Carolina.
The company found the enemy posted in a corn field near the river,
where an engagement followed which lasted only a few minutes. The
regiment coming up, a charge was ordered and we drove the whole
brigade into the river, pouring volley after volley into them while
they were wading, swimming and floundering in the water, until the
river seemed filled with the dead, wounded and dying floating down
stream, almost covering its surface.
The next morning we succeeded in crossing the Rappahannock, and
then that great and historic flank movement by Stonewall Jackson in
Pope's rear was made, his army marching fifty-five miles in two days,
each man carrying eighty rounds of ammunition and with nothing to
eat but roasting-ears.
On the second day's march, August 26, 1862, the Twenty-first
Georgia was in front of the brigade, and when in about two miles of
Bristow Station was thrown forward in line of battle with Company
A deployed as sharpshooters, and commenced advancing on the place.
On nearing the station we heard the trains approaching which had
carried reinforcements to General Pope.
The first of these trains passed before we reached the railroad. It
was fired at, but we failed to capture it. By the time the next train
following arrived we had thrown a railroad bar of iron across the
track, which threw the train off, the engine running some distance out
on the hard wagon-road without turning over. The engineer who was
driving this train was a nervy fellow and had the presence of mind

and daring, notwithstanding he was surrounded by Confederate sol
diers who had derailed him, to blow the danger-signal for the trains
following him to stop. Sergeant Ed Smith, of Company A, an old
locomotive engineer, understanding the signal, sprang into the cab
and wrenching the Yankee engineer away from the throttle, seized the
whistle lever and blew the safety-signal for the following trains to
come on. These recognized the signal and obeyed it, came ahead at
the highest speed, two or three trains being wrecked aud piled upon
each other in an indescribable mass. (This plucky Yankee engineer
was a resident of Elmira, N. Y., and named William Dunham. As
his train approached Bristow Station we fired on it before it was de
railed and Dunham was shot in the shoulder, though not so seriously
as to prevent him staying at his post, and after his own train was de
railed trying to save the trains following from destruction. One of
the collaborators hereof had the pleasure of meeting and recognizing
him in Texas in 1876, and found him to be a most courteous and
cultured gentleman. He was then, 1876, a civil engineer, and I think
doing railroad work in Texas. I think he is still living in Elmira,
N. Y., but whether living or dead, I beg to make this tribute to his
bravery. During the afternoon of this day, August 26, 1862, while on the
march, General Trimble suggested to General Jackson the propriety
of sending a brigade that night to capture Manassas Junction, as he
had received information that there were only a few hundred Federal
troops guarding the place, and there were millions of supplies there
intended for Pope's army. The wrecking of the trains above men
tioned occurred about sunset, and soon after it was over General
Jackson rode up and told General Trimble that he had ' considered his
(Trimble's) suggestion of the afternoon, and ordered Trimble to take
his brigade and capture the Junction. General Trimble replied that
he did not make the suggestion in order that he might be given the
task, but with General Jackson's permission he would take two of his
regiments and make the attempt. General Jackson replied that two
regiments might not be enough to capture it.
To this General Trimble raising his hat and saluting General Jack
son, replied : "I beg your pardon, General, but give me my two
Twenty-ones and I'll charge and capture hell itself."
Having obtained General Jackson's permission, General Trimble
formed the Twenty-first North Carolina in line of battle on the right
of the railroad and the Twenty-first Georgia on the left, and thus,

with the railroad between the two regiments, they began a forward,
silent movement along the railroad toward Manassas Junction, know
ing nothing of the topography of the land over which they had to go
nor of the position or strength of the enemy they were looking for.
After marching thus, feeling their way and keeping such an alignment
as the darkness would permit for a few hours, they arrived within about
a fourth to half mile of the Junction, and suddenly ran into the
pickets who fired into them and ran to the rear. Our brush with the
enemy was brisk but of short duration ; the Federals being taken so
completely by surprise soon broke ranks and fled. A battery was
located on each side of the railroad and these poured canister, grape
and shell into us at a lively rate for a while, doing us more damage by
far than we had received by the small arms, one shell bursting in the
midst of the companies while in a compact form and killing and
wounding quite a number of them.
We soon charged and captured the batteries, each regiment captur
ing one about the same time, and then we swept through the town,
capturing some six or eight hundred prisioners, about two hundred of
whom were negroes. In addition to the prisoners we captured what
was estimated at a million dollars' worth of commissary stores. Of
these every man helped himself to all he could carry, and the re
mainder was burned August 27, while many expressions of regret
were uttered that we could not save all of it, for we knew we would
soon need it. But we certainly feasted for a little while.
The next day, August 28, Jackson's army was drawn up in line
to hold Pope's army in check until Longstreet and Lee could reach us
over the same route we had come. The Federals occupied an old rail
road cut near Groveton, and the taking of this cut was essential to
the Confederates to enable them to hold out against Pope's entire
army until reinforcements could reach us. Trimble's Brigade was
drawn up in line of battle on an eminence in a small piece of woods
in the rear and to the left of Pelham's Battery, near Groveton, with
the Twenty-first Georgia resting on General Lawton's right.
Orders were given to take off and pile everything except cartridge
boxes and make ready for desperate work in our front, for by this
time Pope's whole army had been forced to fall back from the Rappa
hannock and had taken a position to annihilate Jackson's Corps of
only three small divisions before Lee and Longstreet could come to
his relief.

354 Doles-Cook Brigade.
General Trimble riding in front of the Twenty-first Georgia, gave
the command : "Forward." We soon reached an open field, discov
ering the enemy well posted some two hundred and fifty yards dis
tant, at the base of a small hill, with a rotten rail fence some thirty
yards in their front. They had three lines of battle, so situated one
above the other on the rise of the hill as to fire over each other, all
lying down in the sedge and briers. The infantry and artillery at
once opened fire on us. We were given orders to reach the fence. In
obedience to this command there was exhibited the most daring
bravery that came under our observation during the war — a bravery
not surpassed in the charge of the famous Light Brigade at Balaklava.
Volley after volley was poured into the Twenty-first Georgia, mowing
down the men by scores, yet they never faltered nor wavered, but
onward went, closing up the gaps in the lines as if on dress parade,
with their gallant commander Colonel T. C. Glover in front with
sword in his uplifted hand calling to his men to follow. And they
did. Oh God ! what a sight, what carnage ! what a feast of death
was that!
The fence being reached, the work of death commenced at short
Tange. From this fence we poured volley after volley into them for
:Some thirty or forty minutes, when orders were given to fix bayonets
and charge. The regiment went over the fence with one of its most
blood-curdling rebel yells. One voice above all others was heard com
ing down the line. It was that of General Lawton, who, with hat and
sword in hand, was urging the men to charge, saying: "Close in on
them, boys, I will have the Twenty-ninth Georgia to reinforce you in
a few minutes."
It was now getting dark and the Federals held their lines until we
were so close to them that when they fired their last volley the blazes
from their guns seemed to pass through our ranks. Then they fled
and the day was ours ; but at what a cost ! We went into this battle
with something over three hundred and fifty men in the regiment, and
stacked arms that night with thirty-five. Company A went into
the battle with forty-five men ; nineteen were killed and twenty-one
wounded, some of them fatally and others crippled for life. On the
next day, August 29, in the fight near Groveton, the regiment lost
about half a dozen of the few who were left and General Trimble
himself was severely wounded.
While this continuous fighting was in progress the Sixteenth Missis
sippi was transferred to another brigade and the Twelfth Georgia was

sent to Trimble to take its place, and when General Trimble was
wounded it was found that there were no field officers in the brigade
to take command of it, and the command temporarily devolved on a
Captain Brown of the Twelfth Georgia.
On the 30th of August the brigade held a position on the unfinished
railroad to the left and near the Cross building, with the right of the
Twenty-first Georgia resting on a gap in the embankment left for
building a culvert. Across this space, which was unprotected, and
behind the embankment to the right of Twenty-first Georgia rested
the left of Hayes' Brigade, and in our front was an open field of some
hundreds of yards. This ground had been fought over for the past
two days and was literally covered with the dead. The field was
strewn with guns which the men gathered and loaded, having them
ready for the day's work which all knew was coming.
After this the men lay down to catch a few moments sleep, of which
they were sorely in need. Late in the afternoon thirty pieces of our
artillery opened on the approaching enemy. This brought our men
to their feet, peering over the embankment. We soon ascertained
that the field in our front had been transformed from a mat of green
to a moving, living mass of blue. Six lines of battle had been massed
in our front to cut their way through, the marines, dressed in red
blouse, in front, led by their officers.
An order from Colonel Glover was passed down the line for the
men to hold their fire for short range. At the same time he called
for two of the best shots from his old Company A to take position at
the end of the embankment and shoot the officer leading the Feder
als, which order was immediately carried out, the officer proving to
be a colonel. When he was shot his horse ran riderless through the
culvert into our lines.
When the enemy had advanced to within about one hundred yards
of our lines fire was opened on them with terrible effect, the extra
guns being brought into use, but onward they came without a halt.
The embankment being reached, a hand-to-hand combat followed.
Numerous attempts were made to break through our lines and through
the culvert, all of which failed. During these assaults on our lines
the most reckless daring that could be exhibited was shown by a pri
vate named Latham, of Company C, from Atlanta. He stood on top
of the embankment in full view of the assaulting lines of Federals
and fired gun after gun into them until he was shot through by a
Federal soldier, whose gun was not more than two feet from Latham's

356 Doles-Cook Brigade.
breast. As he fell to the bottom of the embankment with the blood
spurting from his gaping wound, he implored his comrades never to
give up their lines, saying that if he ever got well he would try them
again. To the great surprise of every one he did get well, and lived
to do valiant service for the Confederacy. A monument should be
erected to the special memory of the gallant boys who fell in this bat
tle. Several times the enemy's colors waved over our lines across the
embankment. Our ammunition running short, the battle was con
tinued awhile with bayonets, butts of guns and rocks, when the fear
ful rebel yell was heard in the distance. Nearer and nearer it came
while the battle with rocks continued. We soon learned that it was
Jackson coming down the line at full speed pointing his hand to our
right and front. He was accompanied by Longstreet's Corps,
which was pressing the enemy's left with a cloud of dust rising from
the parched earth as if from a cyclone. Our ammunition being re
plenished, our line, as if actuated by one impulse, sprang over the em
bankment and through the culvert, regardless of consequences, when
the enemy fled panic-stricken. The Twenty-first Georgia lost in this
fight sixteen killed and wounded. The enemy's loss was absolutely
appalling. They lay in heaps, and the green sward was dyed crimson
with their blood. At no time during the war did we see so many dead
and wounded on so small an area of ground. Our artillery, in taking
position after position, passed over, crushing many of the dead. Con
sidering the numbers engaged, the second battle of Manassas was the
hardest fought by the Confederates and the victory the dearest bought
during the war.
On August 31, 1862, the regiment was engaged in the battle of
Chantilly, where we lost a few killed and wounded, among the
killed being Captain Wm. M. Butt, of Company A. On Septem
ber 1 we were at Ox Hill, after which we started on the Maryland
campaign, participating on September 14 in the capture of Harper's
Ferry, and[in the battles of Sharpsburg, Md., on September 16 and
17, where Colonel Glover was severely wounded, being shot entirely
through the body, and where we lost quite a number killed and
wounded. After these battles the regiment was transferred to Port
Royal, where it remained for some time, after which it was removed
to Fredericksburg, where, on December 13, we participated in the
battle of Fredericksburg and captured a battery which we
failed to carry off in consequence of the marshy condition of the
ground. In this battle Thos. J. Verdery, the adjutant of the regi-

History of the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment. 357
ment, was killed. At this time the brigade was commanded by Gen
eral Hoke, and we remained in this brigade until January 19, 1863,
when the Twelfth and Twenty-first Georgia Regiments were trans
ferred to Doles' Brigade, which was composed of the Fourth, Twelfth,
Twenty-first and Forty-fourth Georgia Regiments. Just here we beg
to digress far enough to say that from this time to the close of the
war the history of the Twenty-first Georgia, except for a few months
when it was on detached service with General Hoke in North Caro
lina, is the same, so far as hardships, hard fighting, glorious victo
ries, brave deeds and loyalty to the cause for which we struggled, as
that of the Fourth, Twelfth and Forty-fourth Regiments • and no
brigade in any war in the history of the world was composed of
braver men, and no men ever had a mqre chivalrous or braver leader
than General George Doles. He loved his men and they adored
him, and would have attempted any feat of daring, however difficult,
had he only given the order.
At Chancellorsville we were in front and on the flank of Hooker,
and when the brigade reached Hooker's extreme right, and just before
we came upon the enemy, General Jackson, who was with the Twenty-
first Georgia, with a smile on his face, gave the order : " By the right
flank, march;!" and never did brigade step off in finer style. We went
only a short distance, through woods densely strewn with underbrush,
when we came upon the enemy preparing their evening meal. Our
appearance was a complete surprise to them and such a stampede of
infantry and artillery was rarely ever seen.
During the next two days the Twenty-first sustained quite a heavy
loss in the engagements that occurred. Company A, out of about
twenty-five men, had six killed and quite a number wounded. Among
the killed and wounded of Company A was Captain Allen C. Wat-
kins. Taking the loss of Company A as an average the regiment
must have lost about sixty killed. Colonel J. T. Mercer of the Twenty-
first Georgia, in his official report of the battle of Chancellorsville,
says : "Many acts of individual gallantry were observed even where
every officer and man of the regiment did his whole duty. The be
havior of Color-Bearer Francis P. Parker was conspicuous. In mov
ing to the front he bore his colors in advance of every one, till he was
shot down and disabled on the morning of the 3d. Captain M. Lynch
deserves honorable mention, not only for his uniform gallantry but
for his firmness and the good service rendered in maintaining his
ground when the whole flank of the regiment next to him

358 Doles-Cook Brigade.
faltered and fell back, thus preventing the propagation of that which
would have been disastrous."
After the battle of Chancellorsville the regiment was returned to
the Rappahannock to be rested and recruited after the hard service
through which it had gone. While resting at Rappahannock the regi
ment was brought up to about two hundred and fifty men, about the
number we had in the Gettysburg campaign.
In January, 1864, General Hoke was sent with his brigade into
eastern North Carolina to recapture that part of the State from the
Federals, who had occupied it for over two years. Before going he
obtained permission from the Secretary of War to take the Twenty-
first to North Carolina with him. Having obtained the permission
he came in person to the regiment and told us of what he had done,
and said he was going to give us a fine time in his native State catch
ing deserters. He complimented us on the many valorous deeds we
had performed, and said we needed recreation, and he was going to
take us where we could get it. He knew almost every man in the
regiment by name, and the men all adored him, and loud, lusty cheers
rent the air when we found that we were off for a frolic with " Our
Bob." But alas ! the culmination ! " Our Bob" had planned to recap
ture New Berne starting from Kinston. Immediately on arriving
there we started on the march to New Berne, and at Batchelor's creek,
a few miles from the city, we struck the enemy's- outposts and sur
prised and captured them, scattering the enemy all over the country.
The Federals had some blockhouses j ust across the creek from where
we struck them, and it was necessary to capture these before we could
proceed. The bridge having been destroyed, Colonel Glover ordered a tree
cut so that it would fall across the creek for a foot-log. This was ac
complished under a galling fire from the enemy's sharpshooters, and
the moment it fell Colonel Glover mounted it and called to his regi
ment to follow. In a few minutes the regiment had crossed over on
the fallen tree, and the Yankees were fleeing in every direction. Squads
from the command were sent out to capture the scattered Federals, and
one of these squads, consisting of eight men under command of Cap
tain W. B. Kimbrough of Company A, got off some two or three
miles from the command when they ran upon a railroad. They started
along this railroad when, to their utter astonishment, they saw a regi
ment of Federals with colors flying coming toward them going in the
direction of New Berne. It developed that this regiment had been

out on picket duty, and hearing the firing had started to return to
New Berne. When Captain Kimbrough saw them he knew that it
was either a grand bluff or be captured himself, and so he decided on
a bluff. When the Yankees came close up to where he and his eight
men were concealed he boldly stepped out and ordered a surrender,
telling the colonel that if any resistance was offered he would show no
quarter. After a short consultation with his officers he said that he
would capitulate, and Kimbrough ordered him to stack his arms. This
was done and then Kimbrough ordered Sergeant Jot Camp to make a
detail of a guard to take charge of the prisoners and march them to
the command. Sergeant Camp took the entire squad, and having
formed the prisoners in column started with them back to Batchelor's
creek. After having gone some half or three quarters of a mile the
Yankee colonel, having seen no other Confederates, became suspicious
that he had been tricked and turning suddenly to Captain Kimbrough
asked him if the guai <1 was all the men he had. On being answered
in the affirmative, he replied that had he known it he would have
hickory- whipped the last one of them. Kimbrough told him it was
too late then, and that if any resistance was shown he would be the
first man ordered shot. This had the desired effect, and they were safely
carried back to the command and turned over to General Hoke.
Among the prisoners captured in this fight at Batchelor's creek were
a lot of the deserters General Hoke had spoken of, but he failed to
tell us when we were so jubilant over the prospect of the fun we were
going to have in capturing them that they were in the Yankee army
and that we would have to fight like blue blazes to get them. Oh no,
he didn't tell us that. The other column on this expedition to cap
ture New Berne having failed to accomplish what General Hoke had
planned for it, we were taken back to Kinston where we went into
camp and remained until near the middle of April, with occasional
scraps with the enemy's pickets. While we were in camp at Kinston
twenty-seven of the deserters who were captured were court-martialed
and hung, twelve being hung at one time, thirteen at another and
two at another. At these executions the Twenty-first was designated
as a guard and was formed in hollow square around the gallows.
In April General Hoke planned the capture of Plymouth, a strongly
fortified city at the head of the Albemarle sound, garrisoned by three
thousand troops under command of General Wessels. About the
middle of the month we left Kinston on a quiet but rapid march for
Plymouth, hoping to surprise and capture the place before they could

get reinforcements from other points. Late in the afternoon of the
18th we arrived near the town, and Hoke's Brigade, under command
of Colonel Mercer of the Twenty-first, was assigned to the duty of
capturing Fort Williams, which was situated about a half mile in front
of the enemy's main lines of works. The brigade was carried quietly
through a terrible swamp, the men frequently sinking to the waist in
slimy mud and water, until we got through to within some two hun
dred yards of the fort. It wa6 good dark, and the order was given
"By the right flank, march! Double quick, charge ! " The "Two
Twenty-ones" obeyed the order (leaving most of the others in the
swamp), and charged up the hill through an old field, being pelted by
showers of grape and canister. On reaching the fort we found it
surrounded by a deep moat, and on the outside of this moat a strong
abattis of apple trees with sharpened points of limbs sticking outwards,
the whole fastened together with barbed wires. On reaching this
abattis, the Twenty-first Georgia went on the left and the Twenty-first
North Carolina on the right, members from each regiment climbing
through the abattis, dropping into the moat, and scaling the walls of
the fort. James D. King, the color-bearer of the Twenty-first Geor
gia, had some one push him up the wall of the fort and planted his
colors on top of it. One of the garrison struck at him with a cutlass
and cut the flag-staff in two pieces. The fort not yet surrendering,
King secured his flag, got down into the moat and climbed out, safely
rejoining the regiment. When the Twenty-first Georgia and the
Twenty-first North Carolina passed on each side of the fort, on get
ting beyond it, each thought the other was the enemy leaving the fort,
and in the darkness they fired two or three volleys into each other
before the mistake was discovered. Sergeant J. T. Camp of Company
A, Twenty-first Georgia, first discovered the mistake, and calling
Colonel Mercer's attention to it he turned to see if the enemy still
occupied the fort, and just as he gave the order for another charge
from the side of the fort next to the town he was shot dead by a
rifleman in the fort. The fort was captured soon thereafter, and by
daylight of the 19th its guns, together with our own artillery, were
trained on the town. During the 19th General Hoke placed his little
army in position around the town, and on the morning of the 20th a
general assault was made which culminated in the capture of the place
with great quantities of stores and supplies. C. D. Camp, of Com
pany A, had the honor of being the first man (or boy) to
get into the last fort to surrender and capture the garrison colors,

History of the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment. 361
¦which he turned over to General Hoke. The regiment lost about
thirty killed at this place. After the capture of Plymouth the Twenty-
lirst Georgia was made a provost guard for a week or ten days and
charged with the duty of gathering together and shipping the large
amount of army supplies captured with the place. After this was ac
complished General Hoke decided to make another attempt to capture
New Berne, and we were put on the march for that place. We went
by Tarboro and Little Washington^ having slight skirmishes with the
enemy occasionally, and after driving the enemy from these places
arrived at New Berne early in May. A canal had been cut from one
river to the other above the town, completely surrounding it with water,
and there was no way to get in to attack the enemy except to swim.
General Hoke sent a column around below the town to make a feint,
and draw the attention of the enemy to that side while it was his pur
pose to have men swim the canal and make the real attack from above.
To this end volunteers had been called for to swim the canal, and every
man of the Twenty-first Georgia stepped forward. One of them, a
private named Petty, of Company A, was about six feet four inches
high and thin as a rail. It was known he could not swim a stroke,
and when he stepped forward as a volunteer some one said : " Why,
George, what are you stepping out for ; you can't swim." " I know
that," replied Petty, "but I can wade like h — 1." Just as the men were
stripped and had their cartridge boxes tied on their heads and were
waiting for the feint attack from below and for orders to swim the
canal and make the attack, hurried orders came from Richmond for
General Hoke to proceed in all haste to that city to repel the ad
vances of Butler, who was trying to enter Richmond on the south side
of the James river. Then came one of the hardest forced marches of
the war from New Berne to Kinston, many of the stoutest men in
the regiment giving out from the hard march through the deep sandy
roads and falling by the wayside. The command reached Richmond
about the 10th or 12th of May, and after marching and counter
marching around the city for a day or two were sent to Drewry's
Bluff, where, early on the morning of May 16, 1864, we gave Butler
the whipping of his life, capturing his works and about five thousand
of his troops with their arms. We lost quite a large number of men
killed and wounded in this battle.
After the battle was over General Beauregard came along and per
sonally complimented the men for their bravery. General Hoke then
introduced him to the Twenty-first Georgia and Twenty-first North

362 Doles-Cook Brigade.
Carolina, and told him that these two regiments had made him (Hoke)1
a major-general. After the battle of Drewry's Bluff, on May 20, the Twenty-first
Georgia was returned to Doles' Brigade, which was then at Spottsyl
vania Court House. Soon after reaching Spottsylvania, the parallel
march with Grant down the Pomonkey began, with fighting- almost-
hourly. It was then that we lost the brave and chivalrous General
Doles. After the death of General Doles Colonel Phil Cook was promoted
to brigadier-general, and we served under him during the remainder
of the war.
Soon after the promotion of General Cook we were ordered to the-
Shenandoah Valley under General Early, and crossing the Potomac
the second Maryland campaign was commenced.
During this campaign we almost reached Washington City, a bat
tle being fought in the suburbs of that city. In this battle Company
A of the Twenty-first Georgia lost two men killed, Sergeant Henry
Green and Wyatt Gibson, whom we had to leave on the battle-field..
These were the only men lost by Company A during the war that
we did not bury ourselves.
On the 19th of September, 1864, at the battle of Winchester, the-
regiment suffered the irreparable loss of Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas
C. Glover,' it being the one hundred and seventh engagement in
which he had led his men. No braver or truer man than he ever drew
the breath of life. He was always at his post of duty ready to lead
his men to battle. His own safety was of no consideration to him
when or where duty called. Not a single battle was ever fought by
the regiment, but that this noble officer was with it, encouraging and
leading his men to victory and glory. But a few hours before his
death news reached us of the fall of Atlanta. Turning to one of his
old company standing near him, he said : "Atlanta has fallen, and I
fear all is lost, but I shall not live to see it." Colonel Glover was to
the Twenty-first Georgia what Stonewall Jackson was to the army of
the valley.
From Winchester to the siege of Petersburg the regiment partici
pated in all the engagements and hardships that the brigade had to
encounter. At the siege of Petersburg the regiment was stationed to
the right, and near where the Confederate works were mined and
blown up by the Federals. On March 25, 1864, we were engaged in
the assault on the enemy's works when we captured Fort Steadman,

History of the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment. 363.
but soon had to give it up on account of the enemy being reinforced.
In this assault we lost the brave and chivalrous Captain Lee F. Bake-
well, adjutant of the regiment.
After the battle of March 25 came the evacuation of Petersburg
and the continuous fighting on the retreat to Appomattox, during
which time the regiment became almost decimated, there being at the
surrender but two members of Company A present, W. B. Kim
brough and B. F. Jones. Thos. J. McKown who really belonged to-
Company A, but whose name was carried on the rolls of Company B,
for some military regulation concerning the band, was also at the
surrender. One instance of fidelity to the Southern Cause stands out in such
bold relief when compared with some others that might be mentioned,
that we wish to make perpetual record of it here ;
A private, James MullenH, whose home at the commencement of
the war was at Harrisburg, Pa., came South and joined Company B
of the Twenty-first Geeorgia when it was organized at Rome. Dur
ing the entire progress of the war he proved to be one of the bravest,
most dauntless soldiers in the Confederate army, participating in every
battle with his regiment from the beginning to the close of the war.
While our army was in Pennsylvania, near Carlisle, and within
twenty miles of where his father, mother and sisters lived, he was se
verely punished for the supposed infraction of some order. Being en
tirely innocent and having been so unjustly punished, every one sup
posed that he would certainly return to his home ; but to the great
surprise and intense delight of the regiment he did not do so, but
remained with the cause he espoused as true as truth itself up to
the day of the surrender. On our retreat from Petersburg, when
some one intimated that General Lee would have to surrender, he
became frantic with rage, and declared that if he was in General
Lee's place he would have every man in the army die fighting with
gun in hand before he would surrender ; and when General Lee did
surrender he cried like a whipped child.
After the surrender he went to Rome, Ga., with the remnant of his-
old company, and has resided there ever since the war, an honored
and upright citizen.
The By-Laws of the Doles-Cook Brigade Survivors' Association re
quire that the commander of the association shall be elected annually,.
and that the regiments shall furnish the commander in their numer
ical order. When it first came to the time for the Twenty-first to-

564 Doles-CoOk Brigade.
furnish the commander, James Mullens was unanimously elected to
that honored distinction.
One important historical fact should be recorded here : Of all the
cregiments engaged in the war between the States, North and South,
the Twenty-first Georgia was the third in number of men killed in
battle. The regiment that lost the greatest number was the Eighth
New York, and they were killed by the Twenty-first Georgia.
In connection with the history of the Twenty-first Georgia, it is but
just that we should record the fact that to Mrs. Elizabeth Glover,
widow of Lieutenant-Colonel T. C. Glover, belongs the honor of orig
inating the annual reunions of the ex-Confederates.
In June, 1867, she called together in reunion the survivors of Com
pany A, Twenty-first Georgia, the company that was carried into the
service by her husband as its captain. At that meeting only twelve
-of the old company got together. They arranged at that meeting to
hold an annual reunion as long as any two of them lived to meet to
gether and talk over the days that tried men's souls. At the next
annual meeting a big basket-dinner was given and all the old soldiers
in the county (Campbell) were invited to meet with them. At this
meeting an agreement was entered into that all ex-Confederates of
•Campbell county should hold annual reunions, and from this begin
ning sprang the immense gatherings of to-day.
The following is a copy of a letter written by Mrs. Glover to the
Atlanta Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, some years since,
.giving her version of the origin of the Confederate reunions :
THE INCEPTION OF THE ANNUAL REUNIONS OF CONFED
ERATE VETERANS.
"After the fateful day of Appomattox the men of the South
wended their way to their desolated homes, many broken in health
and in fortune.
" The first problem to solve was how to support their families ; the
struggles, trials and hardships undergone to accomplish this is unwrit
ten history. God alone knows the suffering endured, but the men
who had fought under Lee and Jackson were equal to the task of sup
plying food, shelter and raiment for their loved ones. Soon this was
a matter of minor consideration.
" The South was in the throes of reconstruction, bleeding at every
pore, under military and carpetbag rule ; the Northern press brand
ing the men who fought for the Confederacy as rebels and traitors,

History of the Twenty-first Georgia Regiment. 365*
urging that our leaders be hanged and imprisoned; here the Union
Leaguers trying to get all the landholders to join them to prevent
confiscation. If a man refused, or dared uphold secession, he was con
sidered a traitor. Ben Hill was the only man who had courage to
denounce their infamous rule in the papers of the day ; Dunlap Scott
the only man in the Bulloch Legislature who dared protest against
their wasteful expenditure of the people's money.
' ' My husband was killed at Winchester, Va. , in 1864, and is buried
there in the beautiful Stonewall Cemetery. I had to toil to support
and school my children and keep the wolf from the door. Must my
children and the children of other brave men who fought and died
for the love of home be branded as children of rebels and traitors T
Must the men who were spared, with their children, be branded as
rebels and traitors for all time ? Must the finger of scorn be pointed
at these men and their children for having fought for our cause and.
homes ? Must they be disgraced as were the Tories who fought for
King George in the Revolution ? No, no, a thousand times no ! The
cause was just and right and by the help of God I vowed to so teach
this to my children and to call the men of our company (A, Twenty-
first Georgia Regiment) together, talk over the war and its incidents
and charge them to teach their children for all time to come that the
cause for which they fought was just and right ; teach them to be
proud of the part they took in the conflict ; teach their children that
we were overcome by numbers, three and five to one — not whipped r
but overcome.
" With this view and hope and thought, I called our company to
meet at old Campbellton. Of the two hundred who went out not
more than thirty got home, and only twelve met that day ; there were-
others of other regiments. Colonel Tom Latham was orator of the
day. We had the same drummer and fifer at the next reunion who-
went all through the war. That day we had an excellent free dinner,
and many amusing reminiscences of the war.
"From this little reunion has grown the immense reunions of the-
day. " Our veterans, God bless them ! are going one by one to the 'other
side.' Their ranks are thinning, they will all soon be gone, and there-
will be a happy reunion on the other shore.
" Hoping to meet them, with a heart full of love for the cause, Iam„
" Respectfully, "Mrs. Lizzie Glover."

SKETCHES OF REGIMENTAL OFFICERS.
John T. Mercer was a first lieutenant in the First Dragoons U. S.
Cavalry, and when Georgia seceded from the Union he resigned his
•commission in the U. S. Army and came to Richmond, Va. , and ten
dered his services to President Jefferson Davis. On July 19, 1861,
when the services of the Twenty-first Georgia Volunteers were ac
cepted by the President, he appointed John T. Mercer colonel of the
regiment. While Colonel Mercer was as brave as the bravest and a
splendid military officer, he was never promoted, but remained colo
nel of the regiment until he was killed in battle at Plymouth, N. C. ,
April 18, 1864.
J. J. Morrison was appointed by President Davis as lieutenant-
colonel of the regiment on July 19, 1861. In March, 1862, Lieu
tenant-Colonel Morrison was promoted to a colonelcy and authorized
to organize a cavalry regiment in the army of Tennessee. He organ
ized the First Georgia Cavalry and was promoted to brigadier-general,
and commanded a brigade of cavalry for almost two years before the
close of the war. He served with distinction throughout the war
and is still living, his home being in Decatur, Ga.
Thomas W. Hooper was appointed adjutant July 20, 1861. On
September 27, 1861, he was promoted major. March, 1862, when
Colonel Morrison left the regiment, Hooper was made lieutenant-col
onel, and was promoted to the colonelcy April 18, 1864, at the death
of Colonel Mercer. He served throughout the war with distinguished
gallantry. At the beginning of the war he was a practicing attor.
ney at law, and after the surrender he resumed the practice in At
lanta, Ga., where he remained for some years. He finally left At
lanta and went to Arkansas, where he died.
Thomas Coke Glover at the beginning of the war was a practic
ing physician who had won for himself an interstate reputation. He
organized the first company that left Campbell county, Georgia, for
the conflict and was elected its captain. His company (A) with others
of the regiment were originally organized and known as the Fourth
Georgia Battalion. Afterwards when the Twenty-first Georgia Regi
ment was organized his commission and company being the oldest,
his company was still designated as A. Captain Glover was promoted
-major July 27, 1862, and lieutenant-colonel April 18, 1864. He

beld this office until he was killed at Winchester, Va., September 19,
1864, in the one hundred and seventh engagement into which he had
led his men. No braver spirit or truer friend ever lived, and he was
mourned at his death by the men of the regiment as though each had
a personal bereavement.
Michael Lynch went into the army as captain of Company I
from Stewart county. On April 18, 1864, he was promoted major
and held that office until the surrender No more gallant officer wore
the gray than dear old Major Lynch, and no man had more friends
among officers and men than he. He is still living near Atlanta, in
DeKalb county, Georgia, and I think he dreams yet, sometimes, that
"Confederate money will again be good.
Thomas J. Verdery, of Augusta, Ga., was appointed adjutant
by the President, October 12, 1861, and retained that office until he
was killed in battle at Fredericksburg, Va., January 4, 1863. He
was a most excellent gentleman and a brave and faithful officer.
Lee F. Bakewell was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 30, 1829.
In 1849 he went to New Orleans and clerked in a commission house
until the war began. For his bravery and efficiency he was made
foreman of the famous Hook and Ladder Company No. 2 of the
New Orleans Fire Department. He was a member of the noted
Washington Artillery of New Orleans, and when the war began
went into the army with that organization and remained with it until
after the battle of Shiloh, when he was elected captain of the gal
lant Louisiana Zouaves of Wheat's Battalion of "Tigers." When
Major Wheat was killed his battalion disbanded and Captain Bake-
well was assigned to the Twenty-first Georgia as adjutant to succeed
Lieutenant Verdery. He held that office until he was killed at Fort
Steadman, Petersburg, Va., March 25, 1865. When killed he had a
sixty days' furlough in his pocket, but had persistently refused to take
advantage of it and leave the army while we were daily fighting. A
more courteous gentleman or braver man never lived than he.
COMPANY A.
Thomas C. Glover, physician, entered army as captain of Com
pany A June 6, 1861; was promoted major July 27, 1862, and
lieutenant-colonel April 18, 1864. Was killed at Winchester, Va.,

368 Doles-Cook Brigade.
was promoted captain July 27, 1862, and killed at Chantilly, Va.,.
September 1, 1862. He was a young lawyer of marked ability and
had made quite a name for himself before entering the army. He
was one of God's noblemen — a true gentleman in every sense of the
word and as brave as the bravest.
Allen C. Watkins entered the army as second lieutenant ; was
promoted to first lieutenant July 27, 1862, and to the captaincy Sep
tember 1, 1862. He was killed at the battle of Chancellorsville,.
Va., May 3, 1863. Before entering the service Captain Watkins
was a merchant at Campbellton, Ga., and had served one or two
terms as sheriff of the county. He was a most popular young man,
loved by all who knew him and knew not the meaning of fear, mor
ally or physically.
Wm. Bradley Kimbrough was a clerk in a dry-goods store at
Campbellton, and entered the service as first sergeant of Company A
June 6, 1861. He was elected junior second lieutenant July 27,.
1862 ; second lieutenant September 2, 1862, and promoted captain
May 24, 1863. He commanded the company from then until the
close of the war and surrendered with the regiment at Appomattox^
He was a most gallant officer and at the battle of Batchelor's creek,
N. C, in February, 1865, with eight of his company, captured a regi
ment of Yankees by bluffing them into the belief that he had a
large number of men and would show them no quarter. He was-
brought up in Tennessee and is living there now.
COMPANY B.
Algernon S. Hamilton organized Company B at Rome, Ga.,.
was elected captain and uniformed the company at his own expense.
His company was mustered into service June 24, 1861. He remained
with his company until 1863, when he with Captain Cooper Nesbit.
organized the Sixty-sixth Georgia, and Captain Hamilton was made
lieutenant-colonel of that regiment. He retained this office until the
close of the war, making a gallant, fearless soldier. He lost an eye
at the battle of Franklin, Tenn., and died since the war at Clinton,
Ga., honored and beloved by all who knew him.
George A. Yarbrough succeeded Captain Hamilton in the com
mand of his company and made a most excellent and gallant officer.
He was killed at the battle of Gettysburg, Pa.
John A. Tucker enlisted as a private and was for quite a while the

Sketches of Regimental Officers. 369
color-bearer of the. regiment. He was made captain of the company
at the death of Captain Yarbrough, and held that office until the close
of the war. At the surrender at Appomattox, he was in command of
the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. After the war he returned to
Floyd county and made one of its best and most popular citizens. He
accumulated a good property and had an elegant home a few miles
out from Rome, which was totally destroyed by fire in 1901. While
looking at the fire destroying his home he dropped dead of heart-fail
ure. A brave soldier, a true friend, a kindly gentleman was he.
COMPANY C.
Joseph F. Waddail organized and was elected captain of Com
pany C at Atlanta, Ga., and his company was mustered into service
June 6, 1861. He was killed at second battle of Manassas.
M. Thomas Castleberry entered the service as first lieutenant, and
was promoted captain at the death of Captain Waddail. His health
having failed, he resigned in February, 1863, and returned to Atlanta.
Samuel D. Haslett entered the army as second lieutenant, was
promoted first lieutenant at the Second Battle of Manassas,
and captain in February, 1863. He retained this office until
close of the war. For several months prior to the surrender he
was in command of the division provost guard while Lieutenant
Henry Jones commanded the company. Captain Haslett returned
to Atlanta after the war and for several years was a successful
merchant in that city. He died in Atlanta about the year 1895.
COMPANY D.
Stephen A. Borders organized and was elected captain of Com
pany D at Cedartown, Polk county, and his company was mustered
into the service June 27, 1861. He resigned his commission Novem
ber 18, 1861, and returned home. He died near Cedartown, Ga., in
1892. Henry I. Battle enlisted as a private and was elected captain to
succeed Captain Borders, and served in that capacity during the war,
making a most excellent officer and one who was loved by his men and
all who knew him. He died in Polk county in 1899.
COMPANY E.
John R. Hart organized and was elected captain of Company E,
at Rome, Floyd county, and entered the service June 24, 1861. His
24d-c

370 Doles-Cook Brigade.
company was detached from the regiment May 8, 1862, and assigned
to Smith's Legion of Georgia Cavalry. He was made lieutenant-colo
nel of the legion and afterwards became colonel of the Sixth Georgia
cavalry, and served in that capacity until the close of the war. He
died in Rome, Ga., several years after the war.
Alfred F. Bales, who was first lieutenant, became captain after
the transfer, and was killed at Dandridge, East Tennessee, December
24, 1863.
John R. Lay, who was first sergeant while with the Twenty-first
Georgia, became captain after the death of Captain Bales, and served
in that capacity during the war. He is now living at Cresson, Texas.
SECOND COMPANY E.
Edward Smith, captain of a company, was transferred with his
company to the Twenty-first Georgia in 1865, and designated Com
pany E, the regiment having had only nine companies since Captain
Hart's company was transferred. Captain Smith was a gallant officer
and was in command of the regiment at the surrender at Appomattox.
We have not heard from him since the war.
COMPANY F.
John T. Boykin organized and was elected captain of Company F
in Troup county, and entered the service July 9, 1861. He resigned
May 31, 1862. Died in Troup county in 1901.
U. C. Allen enlisted as junior second lieutenant, was promoted
captain and killed at Chancellorsville.
Edward M. Henderson enlisted as first sergeant, was promoted
to the captaincy at the death of Captain Allen, and served in that
capacity until the close of the war, being a brave, fearless officer and
one dearly loved by his men. He is still living in LaGrange, Ga. ,
honored and respected by all who know him.
COMPANY G.
Wesley Kinman was the first captain of Company G, and with his
company entered the service July 4, 1861. He was a gallant officer
but had to resign on account of disability, April 24, 1863. He died
from disabilities received during the war in 1869.
N. B. Hudgins enlisted as second lieutenant, was promoted captain
on the resignation of Captain Kinman, and served in that office dur-

Sketches of Regimental Officers. 371
ing the war. He was ever at his post of duty and never failed to lead
and encourage his men in the face of danger. He is still living at
Calhoun, Ga., an honorable and upright citizen, beloved and re
spected by all. COMPANY H.
J. Cooper Nisbet organized and was made captain of Company H
at Trenton, Dade county, and entered the service July 2, 1861. He
remained with his company in this capacity until 1863, when he and
Captain A. S. Hamilton organized the Sixty-sixth Georgia Regiment
and Captain Cooper was made colonel of it. He remained colonel of
the Sixty-sixth Georgia until the close of the war and surrendered at
Columbus, Ga. He is still living an honored and respected citizen
of Dade county.
John B. Countess enlisted as a private and was promoted to the
captaincy when Captain Nisbet resigned, and served in that capacity
during the war. He was a man who feared nothing on earth and was
always a leader when danger threatened. No better soldier served the
Confederacy than John B. Countess and no better citizen lives in
Georgia to-day than he who is still living in Trenton, Dade county.
COMPANY I.
Michael Lynch organized and was made captain of Company I,
at Stewart, Lumpkin county, and entered the service July 17, 1861.
He remained in command of his company until April 18, 1864, when
he was promoted major and served in that capacity for the remainder
of the war. No braver man or better officer than Major Lynch ever
drew sword in defense of his country. He is still living an honored
resident of DeKalb county near Atlanta, and frequently comes into the
city to see some of his "old b'yes,"as he calls them and talk over the
old days.
John F. Irwin enlisted as a private, was promoted to a lieutenancy
and on the promotion of Captain Lynch was made captain. He was
the youngest officer in the regiment and was the pet and pride of the
entire regiment. He was captured April 6, 1865, just a few days
before the surrender at Appomattox. He is still living an honored
citizen of Lumpkin county, Ga.
COMPANY K.
John B. Akreoge was the first captain of Company K, which en

372 Doles-Cook Brigade.
tered the service August 28, 1861, and remained in command of the
company until May 16, 1864, when he died in the field hospital from
a wound received early that morning at Drewry's Bluff, Va. He was
a splendid officer, an excellent gentleman and a brave soldier.
K. R. Foster entered the service as first lieutenant and was promo
ted to the captaincy on May 16, 1864, when Captain Akridge died.
He remained in command until September 19, 1864, when he was-
captured at Winchester, Va,, and was not released until after the sur
render. He was a brave, chivalrous officer and gentleman. He is now
living in Milledgeville, Ga.
Charles D. Camp was, from the beginning to the end of the war,,
a private soldier in the Campbell County Guards, Company A, Twenty-
first Georgia Regiment. There were none better or braver, none that
did their duty more promptly, cheerfully or fearlessly than Charlie
Camp. Always in a good humor, kind and courteous to both officers and
men, he possessed the friendship of all who knew him. He was wounded
at Drewry's Bluff, Va., May 16, 1864. He entered the State University
after the war, and at the end of three years was graduated from that
institution. He then engaged in the mercantile business in Athens,
Ga., for three years. Afterwards read law, was admitted to the bar
and practiced his profession until ten years ago, when President Cleve
land gave him a clerkship in the United States District Attorney's
office. After some two months' service he became chief clerk, and for
nine years was considered one of the best and most efficient clerks that
the department ever had. Five years of that time he served under
the civil service law. About one year ago he was appointed one of
the Assistant District Attorneys for the Northern District of Georgia,
which position he now holds. There is not a bigger-hearted or more
enthusiastic ex-Confederate in the South. He is devoted to the mem
ories that cling around the Lost Cause. He is on the staff of
Major-General Clement A. Evans, U. C. V., and holds the rank of
colonel. His residence is in Atlanta, Ga.
The author has written the above sketch because Charlie was too
modest to say anything of his services, and because he is worthy of
anything that can be said of him in a complimentary way.

these volunteers were Captain W. H. Peebles, of Henry county; Cap
tain Jno. C. Key, of Jasper county; Captain Samuel P. Lumpkin, of
Clarke county ; Captain J. B. Estes, of Clayton county ; Captain
J. W. Adams, of Spalding county; Captain D. L. Hitchcock, of
Putnam county ; Captain John Huie, of Fayette county ; Captain
John C. Redding, of Pike county ; Captain Charles Allison, of Mor
gan county, and Captain James W. Beck, of Green county, with their
companies. These ten companies united and formed the Forty-fourth Georgia
Regiment, and elected Robert A. Smith, of Macon, colonel ; Captain
J. B. Estes, lieutenant-colonel; R. O. Banks, major; Charles M.
Wiley, adjutant ; Gabriel Harrison, surgeon ; Nathaniel S. Walker,
assistant surgeon ; Fleming Jourdan, commissary; William J. Neary,
quartermaster. A. J. Barron was appointed sergeant-major ; James
M. McCleland, quartermaster-sergeant; W. J. Reese, ordinance ser
geant, and Oscar S. Winn, hospital steward.
On the 17th day of March, 1862, this regiment was mustered into
the service of the Confederate States for the period of three years, or
during the war.
On the 7th day of April, the regiment was ordered to Goldsboro,
N. C, and arrived there on the 11th day of the same month, and
established a camp, known as "Camp Mcintosh." While at this camp,
the Third Arkansas, First North Carolina, and Third North Carolina,
and the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiments were formed into a brigade,
with J. G. Walker as brigadier-general, and the brigade was assigned
to General T. H. Holmes' division. This brigade was ordered to
Richmond, Va., on the 28th of May and arrived there on the 1st day
of June, just at the close of the battle of Seven Pines. We were

marched to the battle-field expecting to take part in the engagement,
but the enemy retired before we were placed.
A few days after reaching Richmond, the Third Arkansas was trans
ferred, and the Forty-eighth Georgia substituted in its place. Gen
eral R. S. Ripley succeeded General J. G. Walker as brigade com
mander and General D. H. Hill succeeded General T. H. Holmes as
division commander. The brigade did picket duty until June 26
and advanced our line considerably, capturing one commissioned offi
cer, ten men and twenty stand of arms. Two men were killed and
two wounded in the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment while making
the advance. The brigade was moved on June 26 across the
Chickahominy near Mechanicsville, one company each from First
North Carolina, Third North Carolina, Forty-fourth Georgia,
and Forty-eighth Georgia Regiments, were detailed as skirmishers
under command of Colonel DeRossett. They advanced late in
the afternoon to Ellison's mill. The whole brigade was then
ordered to charge the enemy's line. They did so in splendid style,
but suffered terribly, as they had to charge across the mill-pond
directly in front of three of the enemy's batteries, and the pond being
full of fallen trees and other obstructions, coupled with the fact that
the embankments were very steep, compelled our men to fall back, as
it was simply impossible to advance under such circumstances. The
Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment lost in this fight four hundred and
sixty- four men, three hundred and thirty-five being killed and
wounded, and one hundred and twenty-nine captured. Among the
wounded in this fight was our colonel, as gallant a soldier as drew a
sword during the war. He died from his wounds June 28, and John
B. Estes, lieutenant-colonel, was promoted to take his place.
The Federals evacuated their lines and retreated during the night
of June 26. On the 27th we advanced toward Malvern Hill, passing
through White Oak Swamp. At Malvern Hill we again attacked the
enemy early in the night of July 1. During that night the Federals
retreated to their gunboats, thus putting an end to the seven days' fight
around Richmond. We lost nine killed and forty wounded at Mal
vern Hill. After these engagements the regiment with the remainder
of the brigade, was marched to near Richmond, where it remained
until the 18th of August. While there the Forty-eighth Georgia
Regiment was transferred to General A. R. Wright's Brigade, and the
Fourth Georgia Regiment under Colonel Geo. Doles substituted in
its place.

History of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. 469
On the 18th of August, Ripley's Brigade was ordered to Orange
Court House, and reached there on the 19th, where they remained in
camp until the 27th, when the first Maryland campaign was com
menced, and the brigade was marched via Rapidan Station, Cul
peper Court House, Warrenton, Gainesville and Manassas. The
latter named place was reached August 30, just about the close of the
second battle of Manassas. We marched on the 1st of September to
near Centerville where the Forty-fourth Georgia and the Thirteenth
Alabama Regiments, under command of Colonel B. D. Fry, did picket
duty that night. The brigade moved next day to Stewart's farm. It
was at this place that General Lee had his hand hurt very painfully by
his horse, and Dr. N. S. Walker, surgeon of the Forty-fourth Geor
gia, dressed his wound and gave him a bottle of liniment, which greatly
relieved him, and he returned the bottle at the battle of Sharpsburg,
and told Dr. Walker to keep it for the next patient with a sprained
or broken finger or hand.
We were at Drainsville on the 3d, at Leesburg on the 4th, crossed
the Potomac river at Monocacy on the night of the 5th, at Frederick
City, Md., on the 6th, where we remained until the 11th. We then
marched to Boonsboro, and then to near Hagerstown; then back to
Boonsboro on the 13th. On the 14th the Fourth Georgia Regiment
was ordered to Hamburgh Pass, the balance of the brigade were or
dered to the top of the mountain on the pike road and formed a line of
battle. After receiving a severe shelling from the enemy's batteries,
we were moved back to Boonsboro, and joined the Fourth Georgia
early on the morning of the 18th. We were then marched to Sharps
burg, crossing Antietam creek on the stone bridge ; marched a short
distance to the right and formed line of battle facing the Antietam.
One of our batteries was placed in our front. Our position was on
the extreme right of D. H. Hill's Division until the 16th, when we
were moved to the extreme left of his division. While thus situated
we were continually exposed to severe shelling, which was very an
noying, as we were not allowed to return the fire. On the night of
the 16th, we were moved in a northwesterly direction and formed a
new line. The enemy opened a very severe cannonade on us, and
kept it up continually until about nine o'clock. Next morning, Sep
tember 17, the battle opened at an early hour. It will be easy to
locate the ground we occupied, as there was a graveyard just to the
right of the Fourth Georgia. A little to the right of this graveyard
there was a large barn, and numerous other out-houses that were set

on fire by the enemy's shells. Our brigade was considerably confused
owing to the heat from these burning buildings, and at one time the
regiments got "mixed up," and just in the midst of the confusion and
before order was restored General Ripley was wounded. Colonel
George Doles of the Fourth Georgia, however, the senior officer in
the brigade, was on hand and took immediate command. He was not
many minutes in settling the confusion. His first order was to
"Charge bayonets ! " and placed himself in front. It is unnecessary to
say the order was promptly obeyed. The men forgot in a moment
their empty haversacks and sore feet, and sprang forward at a double-
quick, yelling like so many demons. The Federal line in our front
gave way like chaff before a cyclone. A second and third line were
formed by the enemy, but each met the fate of the first. This magnifi
cent charge brought the brigade to the summit of a hill, from which,
gome three or four hundred yards to the left in a large cornfield, could
be seen thousands of Federal troops. Colonel Doles here ordered a
halt until a fresh supply of cartridges could be obtained. From this
point, the brigade was ordered to move to the left into a skirt of woods,
where it was halted and reformed, and awaited the advance of the
enemy. The Federals soon located our position, and their artillery
opened on us with grape and canister. This shelling continued all the
time we occupied this position and until we were relieved, when we
repaired to the ordnance train, where we got something to eat (the
first we had had in forty hours), and a full supply of ammunition.
About three o'clock p.m. the brigade was moved to the front and
formed line of battle, and so remained until late in the afternoon.
Late in the night of the 18th, the Fourth Georgia and First
and Third North Carolina (except two companies of the last
named regiment) were detached, and moved to some other point,
leaving the Forty-fourth Georgia and the two companies of the
Third North Carolina to hold the ground occupied by the bri
gade, until about daylight on the morning of the 19th, when they
marched to the Potomac and crossed over to Sheppardstown, Va.
While they were fording the river, they were attacked by Federal
cavalry, but General Lee had anticipated this, and met the attack and
easily repulsed the cavalry with men posted on the Virginia side of
the river. It is but simple justice to remark in this connection, that
much of the success attending the crossing of the Potomac in this in
stance was due to the cool demeanor of Captain John C. Key. Dur
ing this campaign in Maryland of nine days, rations were only issued

History of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. 471
to the brigade three times, and still they were marching and fighting
all the time, and many of them were barefooted, and all were suffer
ing with sore feet and limbs. No troops during the war were ever in
worse condition to go into a fight than were the men of the Fourth
and Forty- fourth Georgia Regiments on the 17th day of September,
1862, and none ever did more gallant and effective service or accom
plished more in the same length of time. As proof of this as
sertion, it is only necessary to refer to the Federal official reports
of the battle, which shows that the charge led by Colonel Doles
so demoralized the enemy that they could not be reinforced for
several hours. The Forty-fourth Georgia carried into this fight
only 162 guns, and lost 17 men killed and 65 wounded. After
crossing back into Virginia, the brigade remained near Sheppards
town until the 19th, and moved to near Opequon creek and to Mar
tinsburg, thence to Bunker Hill and remained there until October 8.
It then moved to Willow Springs and camped until October 25. The
next work was to destroy the railroad from near Harpers' Ferry to
Charlestown, near which place we camped until the 28th. On this
date the brigade moved to Berryville, and remained until the
31st, then crossed the Shennandoah river on November 1 to Paris
and on to Upperville and thence to Front Royal, and recrossed the
Shennandoah and camped until the 8th. It was at this camp that
Colonel Doles was commissioned a brigadier-general and placed in com
mand of our brigade permanently. The command remained in and
around Strasburg and Middletown until the 20th engaged in tear
ing up the railroad from Front Royal to Strasburg. When this
work was finished we moved by way of Woodstock and New Marke t
over the mountain to Godonsville, where we arrived on the 26th, and
remained to the 28th.
While at this camp General D. H. Hill issued an order that the raw
hides of the beef cattle butchered in camp be made into shoes for the
men, and on the next day the General discovered some of the
men of the Forty-fourth Georgia barefooted, and ordered Adju
tant C. M. Wiley under arrest for not obeying his order ; but when
the adjutant informed the General that he had made into shoes all
the hides that fell to the lot of the Forty-fourth Georgia, and that this
small supply of the "raw material" was not sufficient to shoe all the
unshod men, the General saw the point was well taken, and promptly
released the gallant adjutant.
We moved to Orange Court House on the 29th, just three months

472 Doles-Cook Brigade.
from the time we left, and in our rounds had marched over four hun
dred miles.
On the 1st of December the brigade left Orange Court House for
Port Royal, on the Rappahannock below Fredericksburg, and arrived
there on the 3d of December.
On the night of the 12th, just after dark, the "long roll" called us
to arms. A snow was on the ground ten inches deep, with a crust of
ice on top, but this did not prevent the men from responding as
promptly as they would have done in mid-summer. We marched all
night long, and at sun-up next morning appeared at Guinea Station
near Fredericksburg ready for duty. We were assigned to a position
on the right of Lee's army at Fredericksburg, in a skirt of woods
bordering on an open field, a short distance from Hamilton's Crossing.
Here we remained in line of battle for hours under a terrific shelling
from the enemy's batteries located beyond the river.
On the night of December 14, General Burnside, the Federal com
mander, in storm and darkness of the night, withdrew his army to the
north side of the river and left the Confederates in possession of
Fredericksburg. The brigade, after doing picket duty for awhile on the river below
Fredericksburg, went into camp on Conway's farm, where it remained
until January 1, 1863, when it was moved to another location near
Hamilton's Crossing. At this camp the Twelfth and Twenty-first
Georgia Regiments were assigned to our brigade, taking the place of
the First and Third North Carolina Regiments, making it a Georgia
Brigade. While at this camp the regiment worked on fortifications,
and did picket duty. On the 28th of January our camp was again
changed to near Guinea Station, where we remained until the 29th of
April. On the 29th day of April, 1863, Doles' Brigade left its camp near
Guinea Station and moved to Hamilton's Crossing just below Freder
icksburg and formed line of battle facing towards the Rappahannock
river — the Forty-fourth Georgia on the right of the brigade. The
line of battle was advanced and drove in the enemy's pickets.
During the night the brigade was moved by the right flank further
down the river and remained in this position until the forenoon of
May 1, building fortifications. Early on the morning of May 1,
the brigade was marched in the direction of Chancellorsville, and
about two or three o'clock p.m. halted near Todd's Tavern and
formed line of battle. The line was advanced and drove in the

History of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. 473
enemy's pickets. In this skirmish the Forty-fourth Georgia had a few
men wounded, among them being Captain John C. Key. After this
skirmish the brigade came back to the road and camped that night
in a mile or so of Chancellorsville. Early next morning we filed to
the left and passed an old iron furnace, and marched through woods
and fields, hollows and by-ways, until two or three o'clock p.m., and
halted. Here, three days' rations were issued to us, consisting of bis
cuits and meat that had been cooked the night before. After eating
a hearty meal, we were required to fall in line of battle. Doles'
Brigade was on the right of the plank road leading from Orange Court
House to Fredericksburg, and the Fourth Georgia was on the left of
the brigade, its left resting on the plank road mentioned, then the
Forty-fourth Georgia, Twenty-first and Twelfth Georgia, ,in the order
mentioned. Our battle line was soon advanced through a dense
woods and swamp, making as little noise as possible. On the far side
of this swamp or thicket, our skirmishers encountered the outposts of
the enemy. All at once a grand rush was made, the old familiar
' ' Rebel yell " was pitched on a high key, and we were soon in an open
field filled with infantry and artillery, but every man seemed to be
engaged cooking and eating, as though they were not expecting the
much dreaded "rebels." They had breastworks, but they proved to
be useless, as we had made our appearance on the flank, instead of in
front, as they evidently thought we would. Hundreds of prisoners
were captured before they got to their guns. After a few minutes
of confusion the officers on the Federal side began to try to rally
their men and make the best stand they could, but the surprise was
complete, and the Federals did not recover from the shock during the
evening's engagement.
During the first few minutes of this engagement a Federal battery
was placed immediately in front of the Fourth and Forty-fourth Geor
gia Regiments, and fired a few shots, but before it could be trained on
the boys, so as to do much execution, they removed it at a double-
quick. General Doles ordered the Twenty-first Georgia to the left
about this time, and it passed in the rear of the Fourth and Forty-
fourth Georgia, and was soon in a position to enfilade the Federals
in their rifle-pits at another battery. The Twelfth Georgia was moved
to the right and the whole line at a double-quick swept forward, driv
ing or capturing everything in their front.
Darkness finally put an end to our advance. Just about sun-down
Doles' Brigade was relieved by fresh troops, and we were ordered to

the rear to get a fresh supply of ammunition. In the early part of
the night, Lieutenant- General " Stonewall " Jackson rode out in front
of the Confederate lines with his staff on a reconoitering expedition.
He returned to our lines at a different point from where he had passed
out, and was shot and mortally wounded by his own men, who mis
took him and his staff for Yankee cavalry. General Stewart, of the
cavalry, was immediately placed in command of Jackson's corps.
Early on Sunday morning, Lee's army advanced on the enemy, who
had strongly entrenched himself in front of the old "Chancel
lorsville Inn." Enthused with the victory of the day before, our
men met with few obstacles that they were not able to overcome
promptly. After a gallant charge under a galling fire, we cap
tured the breastworks in front of the Chancellor House at ten o'clock.
General R. E. Rhodes commanded our division in this battle, in the
absence of General D. H. Hill.
We remained in line of battle near the Chancellor House until
May 6, when we advanced and found the Federals had withdrawn as
they had at Fredericksburg, under cover of the night, and had gotten
safely on the north side of the Rappahannock. In the evening we
took up the line of march for our old camp near Fredericksburg. In
the battle of Chancellorsville the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment lost
11 killed and 111 wounded.
The regiment rested after the arduous Chancellorsville campaign at
their old camp near Fredericksburg until June 4th, when it again
took to the road, moving via Spottsylvania Court House to Culpeper
Court House, and camped on the Warrenton road. On the 9th we
moved to Brandy Station to assist Stewart's Cavalry that was holding
in check a greatly superior force of Federal cavalry. As soon as the
Federals discovered that they were opposed by infantry, they with
drew, and we marched all day without seeing a bluecoat. On the
10th we moved to Culpeper Court House, and thence via Flint Hill to
Chester's Gap where we crossed the Blue Ridge, and moved by way
of Front Royal and Berryville, where it was reported we were to meet
the enemy. At the latter place we formed a line in plain view of the
Federal camp and advanced through it into Berryville. The enemy
had evacuated the place so hurriedly that they could not take along
their camp equipage. We moved from here to Martinsburg by
way of Bunker Hill, where our cavalry was being pressed by the
Federals. Late in the evening we formed line of battle and ad
vanced upon the town, but the enemy gave way upon our approach

History of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. 475
and we captured some artillery, a large number of prisoners and a
quantity of much-needed quartermaster and commissary stores.
After destroying a part of the B. and 0. railroad, we marched to
Williamsport, Md. , where we camped and rested a few days. We
then moved to Haggerstown, Md., and from there to Greencastle,
Pa., where we remained two days, and then marched to Carlisle.
Here we camped on the beautiful college campus of Dickerson Col
lege. In the forenoon of June 30, we marched out of Carlisle, by
way of the Baltimore pike towards Gettysburg, where we arrived
July 1, 1863. Before reaching the latter named place, we could hear
the roar of artillery in the vicinity of Gettysburg. On reaching the
vicinity of the town our brigade was formed in line of battle on the
north side, with the Twelfth Georgia on the left, then the Fourth
Georgia, then the Forty-fourth Georgia, which reached to the pike
road, and the Twenty-first Georgia just across the road. Between two
and three o'clock p.m. our line was advanced through an orchard
crossed a branch and a hedge fence, and soon came in contact with
two lines of the enemy. We charged the first one, and it fell back
on the second ; we charged it and it gave way. Over the ground
there were some lime-sinks, and many of the Federals threw down
their arms and took shelter in them, and we charged over them. By
this time we were in the edge of the city, and saw no Yankees in our
front. We had killed, wounded and captured all of the two battle
lines in our front, except those that outrun us, and we were in the act
of entering Gettysburg, when suddenly a large body of the enemy
were discovered advancing towards us on our right flank. The
Twelfth Georgia, Fourth Georgia and Forty-fourth Georgia Regi
ments wheeled to the right to face them. My recollection is that up
to this time the gallant Twenty-first Georgia had taken no part in the
battle, as there was no enemy in their front, but had been under a
galling fire during the engagement. They had advanced their line,
however, with the other regiments to near the city, and when the
Fourth, Twelfth and Forty-fourth had repulsed the Federals, the
Twenty-first Georgia lay down in the edge of a wheat field to conceal
themselves as much as possible. In this wheel to the right, the Fourth
and Forty-fourth moved together, and were on the left of the brigade.
In this change ot front, the Twelfth Georgia came up on the right of
the Twenty-first Georgia. In the new line, the Twenty-first Georgia
was a little in front of our line, at exactly the right place, and lay on
the ground until the Federals had advanced to within a

476 Doles-Cook Brigade.
short distance of them when at the command of their col
onel, they sprang to their knees and poured such a volley into the
enemy that they were not only checked but stampeded. The brigade
then with a wild yell sprang forward and entered the city, the Fed
erals flying like chaff before a stiff breeze. Doles' Brigade was the
first Confederate troops to enter the city of Gettysburg, on July 1,
1863. In this battle the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment had ten men
killed and fifty-eight wounded. Among those mortally wounded and
left on the field at Gettysburg was that grand, peerless man, Samuel
P. Lumpkin, colonel of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment.
After entering the town the brigade bivouacked in the streets until
July 2, when we were ordered to join in the attack on Cemetery
Ridge, and formed line of battle near foot of it, but for some cause
the attack was not made. We were not actually engaged again, al
though continually under an annoying fire. Before day on the 6th
of July, the army commenced to retreat and was not molested by the
Yankees. Our first day's march was ended when we arrived at Fair
field, where we spent the night. The Federals followed us and kept
us annoyed all during the 7th. We spent the night of the 7th near
Waynesboro, and reached Hagerstown next day about noon. We
found the Potomac river so swollen by recent rains that we could not
lord it, so we had to fortify our position. The Yankees came up to
our pickets, but did not seem disposed to bring on an engagement.
As soon as we could we crossed the Potomac into Virginia and moved
via Martinsburg to Darksville, where we went into camp to enable
the men to take a much-needed rest. We finally broke up this camp
and moved by way of Front Royal to Thornton's Gap, where we crossed
the Blue Ridge, passing through Madison Court House, and went into
camp at Orange Court House, where we remained until September
14. On that date we were ordered to Somerville ford on the Rapi
dan. From here we were ordered to Morton's ford to do picket duty
and incidentally fortify it. We moved on October 8 to join the
remainder of the army, and marched through Madison and Culpeper
counties. At a place near Warrenton springs we had a little brush
with the enemy, but no casualties When the army reached the Rap
pahannock we were placed at Kelly's ford, where we expected to go
into winter quarters, and indeed we had already constructed many of
the shanties, but before we had completed our camp we were ordered
back across the Rapidan and camped at Morton's ford. We were soon
moved from here to Raccoon ford. We remained at this point until

History of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. 477
27th when we were ordered to Germana ford. At Mine Run we en
countered the advance of Mead's army, but were only used as reserve
and were not actively engaged. Late in the evening we were sent
to support Johnson's Division, and came near being captured as
Johnson withdrew before we got into position. We held the enemy in
check, however, until the artillery was withdrawn and then retired
with the loss of a few men. We remained in this vicinity until the
first of December, when the Yankess crossed the river leaving our
front. About the 20th of December, we moved to a camp a few miles
from Orange Court House and went into winter quarters and remained
here until February 6, 1864. About this time the enemy crossed the
Rapidan at Morton's ford and we hurriedly repaired to that point
ready to give him battle. The weather was bitter cold and we were
great sufferers from exposure. After this little brush with the enemy
we returned to our winter quarters and rested quietly during the re
mainder of the winter.
On the morning of May 4th, we were ordered to prepare two days'
rations and get ready for the road. We broke camp and marched tc
Locust Grove and camped. Next morning we found that General
Grant with an army of 130,000 men had crossed the Rapidan at
Germana ford and was preparing to make the last "on to Richmond."
This army was confronted by Lee's 60,000 poorly fed, ragged men,
but every one of them veterans ; heroes of many battles ; and ready
still to measure arms with any army of invasion.
On themorning of May 5 we met the enemy. The brigade was
formed in line of battle with Jones' Virginia Brigade on our left.
After the battle had opened Jones' Brigade gave way ; that caused
our left flank to be exposed. The Fourth Georgia was on our ex
treme left, adjoining the Virginians, and when they saw the break in
our lines they immediately changed front under a galling fire and gal
lantly met the enemy and thereby saved a panic. The Twelfth and
Forty-fourth Georgia Regiments (the Twenty-first Georgia was on
detached service in North Carolina at this date) were not moved from
their position by the enfilading fire of the enemy, but met the Yan
kees in their front, charged and drove them for a mile or more. (Mr.
G. W. Nichols, of Jesup, Ga. , has written a book purporting to be
a "History of the Sixty-first Georgia Regiment, and incidentally of
the Lawton-Gordon-Evans Brigade." In that book, on page 141, he
makes this statement in regard to this battle : "Next morning, May
5, we were ordered up early and put on the march at quick-step. We

soon heard heavy musketry and some cannonading. We met Doles'
Brigade coming out badly confused with General Lee in the rear,
right by himself." This historian then proceeds to give a couple of
very patriotic speeches ; one made by General Lee, asking that the
historian's brigade throw itself in the breach and save the day.
This speech was responded to by General Gordon, who promised to
comply with General Lee's request. It is not my purpose to deny
Mr. Nichols' statements about the speeches of those grand men, Gener
als Lee and Gordon, although it must be admitted that they were
made under very warm conditions. I do deny, though, that Mr. Nich
ols or his brigade "met Doles' Brigade coming out badly confused."
No brigade engaged in that battle did better or more effectual service.
They never gave back an inch, but drove the enemy from the firing
of the first to the last gun. Evans' Brigade, it is true, came to our as
sistance after the battle was on and did their duty nobly. ) This
battle was the opening of the Wilderness campaign. The Forty-fourth
Georgia lost a considerable number of good men in this engagement ;
among them being Lieutenant Sidney D. Mann, of Company D,
who was mortally wounded and died July 10, following. After the
charge we reformed and remained in line of battle all day. After
dark we were moved to another part of the line and engaged in a
night attack with Gordon's Brigade on the enemy. We were then
moved to our former position on the line and commenced the con
struction of breastworks. On the 8th we were moved to near Spottsyl
vania Court House, after a tiresome march. Grant's army was headed
for the same place, and reached there about the time we arrived.
We formed, attacked the enemy and drove him back and occupied
the position we found him in on our arrival. We constructed a line
of breastworks in the edge of an old pine field. In our front was a
broom-sedge field, gradually sloping to a branch some two hundred
and fifty yards away. Along the branch was a thicket that cut off our
view of the land beyond. On the 10th the enemy moved his troops
beyond the branch and into the thicket above mentioned, and in the
evening attacked our line with five columns. They came on us with
a yell and never made any halt. Our men did all in their power to
repel the assault, but the enemy outnumbered us ten to one. Num
bers prevailed ; they ran upon our works and killed and captured a
large number of our brigade. But they were punished fearfully for
this bold movement; we killed and wounded thousands of them, but
we were great sufferers too. We were simply overwhelmed and forced

History of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. 479
to retire, every man for himself. The enemy followed us, but we in
our retreat met reinforcements and "went back at them," retaking
our breastworks and regaining every inch of the ground we had lost.
Among the killed in this battle were Captain Raby R. Haines and
Lieutenant James D. Stewart of Company D, Forty-fourth Georgia,
two as brave and honorable officers as laid down their lives in the cause
for which we were fighting. Among the captured were numbered our
chivalrous colonel, Wm. H. Peebles, who had been in command of
the regiment since the battle of Gettysburg,
When night closed in on us we were back in our 'breastworks, all
awake and ready for a renewal of the engagement at any moment,
for we knew the battle had not been fought to a finish. By midnight
our wounded had all been moved off the field, leaving only the dead
of both armies scattered in front and rear of our breastworks. The
situation was a sad one, and to vary the monotony a little, a Confeder
ate band moved up to an elevated position on the line and played
"Nearer my God to Thee." The sound of this beautiful piece of music
had scarcely died away when a Yankee band over the line gave us the
"Dead March." This was followed by the Confederate band playing
"Bonnie Blue Flag." As the last notes were wafted out on the crisp
night-air a grand old-style rebel yell went up. The Yankee band
then played "The Star Spangled Banner," when it seemed, by the res
ponsive yell, that every man in the Army of the Potomac was awake
and listening to the music. The Confederate band then rendered
' 'Home, Sweet Home," when a united yell went up in concert from
the men on both sides, such a one as was never heard among the hills
of Spottsylvania county before or since.
On the morning of May 12, the "long roll" awoke our regiment
from a sound sleep. It was a dismal looking morning. A heavy fog
hung over the earth so dense, that we could not see a man thirty feet
away even after the sun had risen. We were told that Johnson's
Division of two thousand eight hundred men and officers had been
captured in what was known as the "horse-shoe bend" in our line, and
we were expected to drive the enemy back and help to re-establish
our lines. After marching at double-quick for a mile or so, we were
finally formed in line and in a few minutes we met the enemy. A
charge was ordered, and after a desperate engagement and a running
fight, we recaptured our breastworks and again established our line.
Lieutenant-Colonel James W. Beck had taken command of the
regiment after Colonel Peebles was captured on the 10th, and

in this battle no officer in the army showed himself to better
advantage, and none ever did more effective service. Our losses
in this battle in killed and wounded were considerable, and cut
our numbers down to a mere handful. (The compiler of this
sketch of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment was badly wounded in
this battle, and did not rejoin his command again until October, 1864.
As to the future movements of the regiment, the reader is referred to
the history of the Doles-Cook Brigade to be found in this book.)
In closing this sketch of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment, my
only regret is, that I have not had space to say what I should like to
have said of the individual ; of the doings and acts of gallantry of the
"men behind the guns." They, in all histories, are in one sense left
in the background; officers only are known and recognized in the
great struggle, when in reality the privates were the men deserving
most of the honors for results, for they were at the front always and
bore the brunt of the battle. The privates in the Confederate army,
be it known to all men, were not fighting for money or favors. They
did not suffer all the hardships they were subjected to for gold or sil
ver or honors, but because they knew the cause in which they were
engaged was a just one before God and man.
Never in the history of the world has an army been made of such
material as composed the Confederate army, and particularly the rank
and file of the same. That the intelligent, unprejudiced people of the
North are beginning to recognize this fact, is amply proven by refer
ence to a history of the battle of Chancellorsville by Augustus C. Ham
lin, formerly a lieutenant-colonel and medical inspector of the United
States army, who was connected with the army of the Potomac and
saw with his own eyes the battle he describes. On page 13 of that
history he says :
"At this time, Jackson's collection of fighters, trudging along the
woods and its by-paths, would certainly have presented a curious ap
pearance to a martinet critic of any of the military schools of Europe.
The first sight of the commander (Stonewall Jackson) in his dingy
clothes, with ragged cap perched over his brow, astride "old sorrell;"
the tattered flags, worthless as material, but priceless to the hearts who
carried them — the strange appearance of the men in ragged and rusty
clothes, marching along carelessly and at will, might have suggested
Falstaff and his ragamuffins. But a closer and keener look would
have soon convinced him that outward appearances do not always in
dicate the true measure of the soldier, and he would soon have seen

that this shabby-looking and apparently undisciplined rabble, would
at a word from their trusty leader, be transformed into a resolute army,
more than a match for any equal number of the best troops of the
European armies in the singular contest about to commence. And it
may be affirmed that thirty thousand of these European troops would
have been as helpless before them in the tangled thickets of this wilder
ness as Braddock and his British regulars were before the French and
unseen Indians in the woods near Fort Duquesne in the colonial times."
They were volunteers, not hired or recruited from the slums of the
great cities of the country, but at the call of their respective States they
came from every walk in life and every line of industry ; from the
country home and city mansion, the shops, the offices, schools and
colleges. All plunged into the fray to battle for their homes and fire
sides, without the thought of being elected to some office, or placed in
Borne soft position. In the ranks, beside the lawyer, merchant and
doctor, stood their more hardy comrades fresh from the plow-handles.
Thousands left palatial homes where every comfort and luxury
abounded, for the trials, tribulations and hardships of the field and
camp. Of such material the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment was made up.
When they had been in service barely three months, they were carried
into the seven days' fight before Richmond — indeed they opened the
battles around that city at Ellison's Mill, on the Chickahominy, where
the regiment received its baptism of fire. The impartial historian,
when he collects up the facts and figures, will show that the Forty-
fourth Georgia Regiment suffered a greater casualty in killed and
wounded in proportion to the number of men carried into action, than
any other regiment on the Southern side, in this or any other battle
fought during the war between the States. But they stood their
ground like Spartans, and never gave an inch, except under orders.
And this is the record of this battle-scarred regiment, from Ellison's
Mill to Appomattox. In all their marches and battles they were
ever at the front, and invariably acted well the part assigned them.

SKETCHES OF REGIMENTAL OFFICERS.
Robert A. Smith, who was elected colonel of the Forty-fourth Geor
gia Regiment, at the organization of the same, was born in Clinton,
Jones county, Ga., on December 19, 1824. His family removed to
Macon when Robert was a boy. At the age of fourteen he joined the
M. E. Church, and remained a consistent Christian to the end of his
life. He entered Oglethorpe College when sixteen years of age, from
which he was graduated in 1843. He read law and was admitted to the
bar in his adopted city. He entered the Confederate service in April,
1861, as captain of the Macon Volunteers, Second Georgia Battalion.
At the organization of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment he was
elected colonel. In the first battle in which his regiment was engaged,
on June 26, 1862, he gave up his life on the altar of his country. This
was the battle of Ellison's Mill, near Richmond, Va. He went into
the fight an invalid — indeed he had to be lifted on his horse before
going into the engagement. He was desperately wounded three times
in the engagement before being carried from the field. He died June
28, loved, respected and adored by the Forty-fourth Georgia Regi
ment. No officer ever came nearer gaining and retaining the respect
and confidence of his men in so short a time than did Colonel Robert
A. Smith.
John B. Estes, who was elected lieutenant-colonel on the organi
zation of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment, entered the service of
the Confederate States as captain of the "Estes Guards," afterwards
known and designated in the regiment as ' ' Company D." Colonel
Estes was before the war a school teacher by profession, and had
also been admitted to the bar late in the fifties. He was wounded at
the sanguinary battle of Ellison's Mill, where the Forty-fourth Georgia
received its baptism of fire, and hovered for months afterwards be
tween life and death as the result of his wound, that has given him
much trouble at times since the war. He was promoted to be colonel
of the Forty-fourth Georgia on June 28, 1862, and held that posi
tion until after the battle of Chancellorsville. On May 26, 1863, he
resigned, owing to his physical condition caused from his old wound.
After the war Colonel Estes engaged in the practice of law, and
was remarkably successful at the bar. He has represented his county
(Hall) in the Legislature, and for a number of years has been judge

¦of the Superior Courts of the Northeastern circuit. Colonel Estes, in
war or in peace, has always had the respect of his neighbors and asso
ciates. He made a good soldier and has made a good citizen since the
war. As a lawyer, particularly as a criminal lawyer, he ranks
among the best in the State. He is still living in Hall county, and
is reasonably active for a man of his age. [After this sketch was put
in type, Col. J. B. Estes died on the 16th day of September, 1903, at
his home in Gainesville, Ga.J
Richard O. Banks entered the service of the Confedate States as
¦captain of Company H, from Pike county, Ga. He was elected major
on the organization of the regiment, and held that position until
December 3, 1862, when he resigned. Major Banks was a gentle
man and made a good record while he was an officer in the regiment.
When he left he had hundreds of friends and no enemies in the Forty -
fourth Georgia.
Charles M. Wiley entered the service of the Confederate States
as a sergeant in the Macon Volunteers, Second Georgia Battalion.
He was selected as adjutant of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment
on the organization, and acted in that capacity until July 24,
1863. He was severely wounded at the battle of Ellison's Mill,
•and never entirely recovered from the effects of his wound. Adju
tant Wiley was a good soldier, and was greatly beloved by the
Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment for his noble qualities. On the field
he was brave, watchful and careful. In camp and on the march he
mixed and mingled with his comrades, but never lost that proper re
serve and decorum so necessary to retain discipline and order. At
the close of the war he engaged for several years in farming. Remov
ing to Macon, Ga., he engaged in mercantile pursuits. He was sub
sequently elected chief of police of Macon, and filled that position
with credit to himself. He was afterwards elected ordinary of Bibb
county, and still occupies that position. In 1899 he was chosen brig
adier-general of the United Confederate Veterans for the eastern
division of Georgia, and still holds that position.
Nathaniel S. Walker was made assistant surgeon of the Forty-
fourth Georgia Regiment at the organization, and acted in that capacity
until he was made surgeon on the resignation of Dr. G. Harrison. He
resigned in November, 1862, returning to his home inPutnan county,
Ga., where he practiced medicine until his death, January 25, 1902.
Dr. Walker was a high-toned gentleman of the old Southern school.
He recognized the fact that the common soldier had rights and feel-

ings as well as himself, and the night was never too dark nor the day
too hot for him to go to a man in distress when his services were
needed. Always kind and considerate, always pleasant and affable,
he made lasting friends of both officers and men of his regiment. After
returning to his old home in Putnam, he had many responsible places
offered and thrust on him. When he died he held the responsible-
position of trustee of the State Lunatic Asylum at Milledgeville, Ga.
The Confederacy had no better or truer man than Dr. Walker,,
and I am certain that all his old comrades of the Forty-fourth Georgia,.
and particularly those who were wounded or sick while he was in
charge, will join me in this last tribute to a good man. "Peace to
his ashes I "
A. E. McGarrity was an assistant surgeon of the Forty-fourth
Georgia for about a year, appointed in the fall of 1863, and re
mained until he was transferred to the Sixty-first Alabama Regiment.
Dr. McGarrity was a good man, treated the sick and wounded under
his charge humanely and kindly. Always in a good humor and
always ready to speak a kind word, he made true friends and no ene
mies in the Forty- fourth Georgia while connected with it.
Asbury H. Jackson entered the army as junior second lieutenant
of Company C Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment, and was made com
missary of subsistence of the regiment, December 2, 1862. "Hull"*
Jackson, as he was known among the boys of the regiment, was a first-
class commissary and always saw that the Forty-fourth Georgia got
all that was coming to it in the way of rations. He was not
very good looking so far as beauty was concerned, but he had a big-
heart and a good conscience that more than compensated for his-
want of good looks. He was changed to another command in August,
1863, by order of General Lee, and I know that every man and offi
cer in the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment regretted it. He returned
to his old home after the war and engaged in the mercantile business.
He died a few years ago in Athens, loved and respected by all the
people of Clarke and Oconee counties.
William J. Neary was appointed quartermaster of the Forty-
fourth Georgia Regiment August 8, 1863, and remained with the
command during all our marches, counter-marches and battles in
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Captain Neary was a good
man and when he could get anything in the way of quartermasters''
stores, the boys always got it. He had the respect of all the officers
and men of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment.

R. W. Freeman was made adjutant of the Forty-fourth Georgia
Regiment August 8, 1863, and acted in that capacity until May 10,
1864. On that date, at the battle of Spottsylvania Court House, he
was severely wounded, and never came back to the command after
wards. Lieutenant Freeman was a brave, good officer and never
failed to do his duty.
A. M. Burnside, a second lieutenant of Company D Forty-fourth
Georgia Regiment, was appointed acting adjutant after the battle of
Ellerson's Mills in place of Adjutant Wiley while he was at home
wounded. At the battle of Chancellorsville, May 3, 1863, he was
killed. It seemed that Lieutenant Burnside had a presentiment of
his coming death, for he told Colonel Estes, just before going into the
fight, that he would be killed that day. He was correct, for on that
stormy Saturday evening, while the Confederates were carrying every
thing before them, poor Burnside was mortally wounded. He lived
for a day or two after the fight, when his noble spirit passed out " over
the river" to rest with that of our noble Jackson " under the shade
of the trees." There was never any braver or truer soldier that gave
up his life in the cause for which we were fighting, than Addison
M. Burnside.
Samuel P. Lumpkin entered the Confederate army as captain of
Company C at the organization of the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment.
He was made lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, June 28, 1862, and
colonel May 26, 1863. He was engaged in all the battles the regi
ment was in up to the battle of Gettysburg, Pa. In this fight he lost
his leg. He was also wounded at Malvern Hill, in the battles around
Richmpnd. He fell into the hands of the enemy when General Lee
retired from Gettysburg and died of his wounds September 11, 1863.
There was no better, braver or cooler officer in the army than Colonel
Lumpkin. Always at the front and always ready for duty, he had
the confidence of his superior officers and the men he commanded.
Colonel Lumpkin came of one of the oldest and best families in Geor
gia. At home he was a practicing physician and left a good and lucra
tive practice when he entered the Confederate army. When he
died the old veterans of the Forty-fourth Georgia mourned his loss
for they knew such leaders were hard to duplicate.
Joseph W. Adams was mustered into the service of the Confederate
States as captain of Company E, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. He
was promoted major June 28, 1862, and died of smallpox in Decem
ber, 1862. Major Adams was a good soldier, and one of the most

486 Doles-Cook Brigade.
jovial, good-hearted men the writer of this sketch ever knew. In
camp or on the march he was always the same. Like General J. E. B,
Stewart, he was a great singer, and was always humming some favor
ite song. He made a good soldier, and when his death was announced
to his comrades, it threw a gloom over the whole regiment.
Wtlliam H. Peebles was mustered into the service of the Confed
eracy as captain of Company A Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment,
was promoted major March 4, 1862, lieutenant-colonel May 26, 1863r
and colonel September 11, 1863, and captured at Spottsylvania Court
House, Va., May 10, 1864, and never was with the regiment any
more. After he was released from prison he returned to his old home at
Bear Creek (now Hampton), Henry county, Ga., where he resided until
his death, a few years ago. Colonel Peebles, before the war was a
practicing physician and left a good practice when he entered the
Confederate army. He made a good record as a soldier, and was
loved and respected by his men. He was in all the fights in which
his regiment was engaged, from Ellison's Mill to Spottsylvania Court
House (May 10, 1864). He commanded the regiment after the death
of Colonel Lumpkin at Gettysburg until he was taken prisoner.
There was na better soldier than Colonel W. H. Peebles.
James W. Beck entered the Confederate service as a private in
the Second Regiment of Georgia Volunteers, where he served for one
year. At the expiration of his year of service he raised a company,
that was later known as Company K Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment.
His company was mustered into the service of the Confederacy March
17, 1862, and he was captain of the same. He was promoted major-
May 26, 1863, and lieutenant-colonel September 11, 1863. He was
wounded at Malvern Hill July 1, 1862. Colonel Beck was with his
regiment at all times until he left it at Petersburg a sick man. He
was in all the fights and on all the long marches, and at all times he was
the same true, honest, brave chivalrous soldier. After Colonel Peebles
was captured at Spottsylvania Court House on May 10, Colonel Beck
took command of the Regiment. In battle he was brave, cool and
deliberate and had the confidence of the men he commanded. At the
battle of Hatcher's Run Colonel Beck exposed himself, and owing to
said exposure, was prostrated with pneumonia and was sent to Rich
mond to the hospital. From here he was sent to Greensboro, N. C.
After recovering sufficiently to travel he was given leave of absence,
that he might visit his home in Georgia. He was at his home when
General Lee surrendered, and about that time he went to Augusta

and reported for duty. He was sent to Madison, Ga., and ordered to
detain all returning men to Lee's Army. He was attending to this
duty when the end came. After the war Colonel Beck returned to
his old avocation of teaching school, until he considered himself
called of the Master to preach the gospel. He has been an active
and prominent minister of the Baptist Church in Georgia ever since.
At this time he is teaching a select school in Milner, Ga.
John C. Key was mustered into the service as captain of the
" Jasper Volunteers," afterwards Company B, Forty-fourth Regi
ment Georgia Volunteers, March 17, 1862. He was wounded at
Chancellorsville May 4, 1863, and promoted major in September,
1863. He was retired in May, 1864, on account of disability from
wound, assigned to duty in Augusta, Ga., under Brigadier-Gen
eral W. M. Browne, where he remained to the close of the war.
He was a brave, gallant and accomplished officer, and commanded
the respect and confidence of every man in the brigade. His public
life was very prominent, having represented his county in the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia several times, and was a candidate before
the people for Representative when he died, in June, 1902, with fair
prospect of success. Besides being a member of the Legislature, he
was a fine lawyer, and was honored by his county with several county
offices. He was a kind-hearted, genial gentleman, and his comrades
mourn his death. He was commander of the Doles-Cook Brigade
Survivors' Association, and also President of the Forty-Fourth Geor
gia Regimental Association at the time of his death.
Augustus D. McKenzie went into the service of the Confederacy
as first lieutenant of Company A, and acted in that capacity until
he was made captain, May 4, 1863. He was captured in Pennsylva
nia July 4, 1863, and remained a prisoner at Johnson's Island until
February, 1865, when he was paroled and sent home. Captain
McKenzie made a good and faithful soldier. He is living now in
Henry county, Ga.
James Henderson was mustered into the service as first lieu
tenant of Company B, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. When Cap
tain Key was made major, Lieutenant Henderson was made captain
of his company, and remained in that capacity until his death. He
was wounded at Spottsylvania Court House, Va., on the 8th day of
May, and died from the wound. Captain Henderson was an excel
lent officer, a brave and gallant soldier, ever ready and willing to
perform his duty or face any danger. His loss was keenly felt by

488 Doles-Cook Brigade.
his regiment and company, but, like thousands of other good men, he
gave up his life freely in defense of his country.
James S. Griffith was mustered into the service as first lieutenant
of Company C at the organization of the regiment and was promoted
to the captaincy of the company June 28, 1862, and resigned on the
29th of July following. Captain Griffith was with the command
only a short time, but he left the impression on his fellow soldiers that
he was a good man, and with experience would have made a good sol
dier. Died in Oconee county, Georgia, February 29, 1898.
William B. Haygood entered the service at the organization of
the regiment as second lieutenant of Company C. He was promoted
to be first lieutenant July 15, 1862, and captain July 29, 1862. He
lost his arm in the battle of Gettysburg, and was captured at Hagers
town, Maryland, and was in prison during the remainder of the war.
Captain Haygood was not only a good soldier but a Christian gentle
man ever ready to go where duty to his country or his God called him.
No man had more friends in the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment than
Captain William B. Haygood. He died since the war in DeKalb
county, Georgia.
Raby R. Haines was mustered into the service as first lieutenant
of Company D, Forty-fourth Regiment, Georgia Volunteers, on
March 17, 1862, and was made captain on March 17, 1862. He was
killed at the battle of Spottsylvania Court House May 10, 1864. No
officer had more friends in the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment than
did Captain Haines. He was a polished gentleman , brave and aggres
sive as an officer. A Yankee plunged a bayonet entirely through
Captain Haines' body at Spottsylvania Court House. His death was
regretted by every man in the regiment.
Thomas R. Daniel was mustered into service in Company D,
Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment, as a private, on March 17, 1862. He
was elected second lieutenant May 23, 1863, and was made captain
of the company December 5, 1862. He was wounded at Winchester,
Virginia, September 19, 1864, and captured at Fort Steadman, below
Petersburg, Virginia, March 25, 1865, and remained in prison dur
ing the remainder of the war. Captain Daniel made a good soldier
and a conscientious officer, and always did his duty. He died in
Clayton county, Georgia, a few years ago.
James H. Connally. Captain Connally entered the service of the
Confederate States March 17, 1862, as first lieutenant of Company E,
Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment and was made captain June 28,

1862. He was with his company in all the campaigns up to the bat
tle of Spottsylvania Court House, where he was captured on the 10th
day of May, 1864, and remained in prison during the balance of the
war. Captain Connally was one of the six hundred Confederate offi
cers who were brutally exposed to the fire of our batteries on Morris
Island, South Carolina. Captain Connally was a brave soldier and a
perfect gentleman, always ready to do to the best of his ability any
duty assigned him. He survived the war and the brutal treatment
of the Yankees while a prisoner, and died in peace at his old home in
Spalding county, Georgia.
David L. Hitchcock went into the service as captain of Company
F, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment, March 17, 1862, but resigned on
the 25th of June following, and returned home. He was consider
ably advanced in years when he left home, and was doubtless unable
to stand the hardships and fatigue of camp life. He was looked
upon as a conscientious and good Christian man in his home county,
and was by profession and practice a minister of the Primitive Bap
tist Church. He died in Putnam county, Georgia.
Charles Drew Pearson was first lieutenant in the Putnam County
Volunteers, afterwards Company F, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment,
when mustered into the service on the 17th of March, 1862. He was
promoted to captain June 25, 1862, and killed at Sharpsburg, Mary
land, September 17, 1862. Modest and retiring in his disposition as
a woman — with all the tender sympathies that belong to that sex —
yet when aroused he was as bold and brave a man as ever went forth
to battle. There was no better, braver or truer man than Captain
Pearson. Every one that knew him loved and respected him for his
many virtues. His company, regiment and his State and county
lost one of their best men and truest citizens in the death of Captain
Pearson. George G. Green was junior second lieutenant of Company F
when mustered into the service. He was promoted captain of his
¦company after the death of Captain Pearson. He was a bold, brave
and gallant soldier, a good and faithful officer, a man of broad and
conservative views, and popular both in the army and at home. He
was killed at Chancellorsville, May 2, 1863. His loss was deeply
regretted by his comrades and friends.
Joseph B. Reese was a private soldier when he was mustered into
the service in the "Putnam County Volunteers," later Company F,
Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. He was promoted rapidly until he

became captain of his company in May, 1863. He was wounded at
Gettysburg, W ilderness and Winchester, Virginia, and captured at
Fisher's Hill, Virginia, and remained in prison at Fort Delaware until
after the surrender, when he was released. Captain Reese was a
brave and splendid soldier, and his rapid rise to the command of his-
company can only be attributed to deserved merit. He is a man of
prominence and bears a fine reputation in his home county and where-
ever known, and is now a citizen of Putnam county, Georgia.
John Huie. This old gentleman raised a company after he had
passed three score years of age, and was elected captain of the same.
Captain Huie was mustered into the service as commander of Com
pany G, Forty-fourth Regiment Georgia Volunteers. After engag
ing in several battles — in fact all in which the regiment was engaged
while he was in the service, he saw that he could not stand the hard
ships at his age, and reluctantly tendered his resignation in May,
1863. His friends — and they were all who knew him — reluctantly
gave him up. Captain Huie was a fine lawyer and gave up a lucra
tive practice when he entered the service as a soldier. After the war
he emigrated to Texas, where he died several years ago.
John L. Blalock entered the service of the Confederacy as sec
ond lieutenant of Company G at the organization of the Forty-fourth
Georgia Regiment. He was made captain on the resignation of Cap
tain Huie, and his mantle could not have descended to better shoul
ders. Captain Blalock was a good soldier and a good citizen and
always acted well his part in anything that was to be done. He died
in Virginia while on detached service, March 28, 1864.
Joseph A. Edmundson was mustered into the service as a private
on the organization of the Forty-fourth Regiment Georgia Volun
teers and belonged to Company G. He was elected junior second
lieutenant July, 1863, and promoted Captain April 18, 1864. He
was captured at Spottsylvania Court House, Virginia. Captain
Edmundson was a brave, good officer who knew his place and was-
always in it. While he was a prisoner of war he was made one of
the six hundred officers who were, contrary to all rules of civilized
warfare, exposed to the fire of the Confederate batteries on Morris
Island. He was held a prisoner until the close of the war, and
returned to his old home where he has since died.
John C. Redding entered the service as first lieutenant of Com
pany H, Forty-fourth Georgia. He was promoted to captain of his
company March 17, 1862, and died in Richmond, Virginia, July 9,,

1862. Captain Redding was a brave, conscientious, good man and
discharged his duty fearlessly and well during his short life as a
soldier. John W. Butler was second lieutenant of Company H when
the Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment was organized. He was made
captain July 9, 1862, and died in Pike County, Georgia, November
18, 1862. Captain Butler was a good officer and made a good record
as a soldier.
M. T. Butler entered the service as a private and in September,
1862, was elected second lieutenant of Company H, Forty-fourth
Regiment Georgia Volunteers. In November of the same year he
was promoted to be captain of said company. He died August
22, 1864. Captain Butler made a faithful officer and gave entire
satisfaction to the company and regiment while he was in command
of Company H.
James J. Cook was elected from the ranks to a second lieutenancy
in Company H, Forty-fourth Regiment, Georgia Volunteers, May 13,.
1863. He was promoted captain December 5, 1864. Captain Cook
made a good soldier and his rise from the ranks to the command of
his company is abundant evidence of that fact. He was always ready
for duty and always performed it with alacrity and no grumbling.
T. J. Kendrick was made a second lieutenant in Company H,
Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment, March 17, 1862, from the ranks.
He was severely wounded at the battle of Ellison's Mill. On Au
gust 15, 1862, he was made first lieutenant, and captain November
18, 1862. He resigned April 29, 1863. Captain Kendrick made a
fine officer while he was in command of his company and his men
regretted to give him up when he resigned.
Charles W. Allison entered the Confederate service as captain
of Company I, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment. He was killed at
Malvern Hill July 12, 1862. Captain Allison was a brave, fearless
and gallant soldier, an accomplished and educated gentleman. In.
his death his State and country lost one of their best and most
earnest soldiers.
Levi J. Smith was mustered into the service of the Confederacy
as first lieutenant of the Morgan and Henry volunteers, afterwards
Company I, Forty-fourth Regiment Georgia Volunteers. He was
promoted captain October 19, 1864. He was captured with thirty-
seven of his men at Spottsylvania Court House May 10, 1864. When
ordered to surrender his sword he refused ; one of his captors then

thrust a bayonet into his hip, but failed to get the sword, for he
-threw it as far as he could back into our lines. He was one of the six
hundred Confederate officers exposed to the fire of our batteries on
Morris Island, South Carolina, the most fiendish and brutal act ever
perpetrated by any pretended civilized government. Captain Smith
-was one of the bravest of the brave — always ready to obey the call
to duty. For twelve years previous to his death he was sorely
afflicted, most of the time confined to his bed ; and always in a most
helpless condition — but with it all he was patient and cheerful and
bore his affliction with Christian resignation. No better soldier or
Christian followed the Southern Cross from 1861 to 1865. He served
during the entire war and died at his home in Decatur, Georgia,
April 20, 1900.
Rev. Thomas J. Beck, Rev. Henry T. Brooks. These two
gentlemen were at different times chaplain of the Forty-fourth Regi
ment. The record does not show when Mr. Beck was appointed, but
-does show that he resigned July 24, 1862, and that Mr. Brooks was
-appointed chaplain May 2, 1864. They were both good and true
men, and Christian gentlemen. They were attentive to the men when
wounded and looked faithfully after the spiritual interests of the sol
diers when in camp.
John D. Gentry entered the service of the Confederate States as
second lieutenant of Company K, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment.
He was promoted first lieutenant December 2, 1862, and captain May
26, 1863. He resigned October 14, 1863. Captain Gentry was a
good man and made a good soldier while he was with his company.
He was a great favorite with his company and there was universal re
gret when he severed his connection with his men. He died at home
since the war.
Thomas T. Eason was junior second lieutenant at the organization
of Company K, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment, in 1862. He was
appointed first lieutenant May 26, 1863, and captain October 14,
1863, and was placed on the retired list February 17, 1864. Cap
tain Eason made a good soldier, and was a brave and deserving
officer. John F. McClellan was mustered into the service as second ser
geant of Company K, Forty-fourth Georgia Regiment, on March
17, 1862 ; captured at Spottsylvania, Va., and exchanged soon after.
He was promoted junior second lieutenant September 19, 1864, on
.¦account of his good conduct as a soldier. He was ever faithful to any

trust placed in his hands, and after the war he entered the ministry of
the Presbyterian Church. He made a good preacher and served his
Maker as faithfully as he had served his country during the war. He
died at Stone Mountain, Ga. , a few years ago, loved and respected
by all who knew him.
M. V. B. Estes was a private in Company D, Forty-fourth Geor
gia Regiment, having been transferred from Company A, Second
Georgia Regiment, in June, 1862, where he served for more than a
year. Soon after his transfer he was appointed sergeant-major, and
in 1863 he was appointed acting adjutant of his regiment after the-
capture of Adjutant Freeman. In the battle of May 12 at Spottsyl
vania Court House, Va., he was desperately wounded in the head, but
to the surprise of all he recovered, and rejoined his command at New
Market, Va., October, 1864, and remained with it until the close of
the war. Lieutenant-Colonel James W. Beck furnishes the follow
ing in regard to him and his services : " On the night of May 10r
1864, as we were recapturing our breastworks, he asked my permis
sion to go out in front of our breastworks where he had seen a Fed
eral colonel killed during the afternoon, for the purpose of getting his
sword. I informed him that it was a dangerous mission, but he per
sisted, and I finally yielded. He went and when he returned had
his sword, coat, boots, and a pocket full of greenbacks. The sword he
gave to General Doles, and the boots to some one else. I do not
know what he did with the coat and greenbacks, but suppose that he
kept and spent the latter. He made a fine soldier. In camp, on the
march or in battle, he was always at the post of duty — ready for any
emergency. No better or truer soldier wore the gray during the six
ties." He represented his district after the war in the State Senate
for four years. He is now a resident of Atlanta, Ga.

Note.— The author has written the above article because Mr. Estes
deserved all that has been said in his behalf, and because he was too
modest to sound his own praises, and because he has assisted very
materially in perfecting the history of his regiment.

A Confederate Deserter. 593

A CONFEDERATE DESERTER.
BY GENERAL C. A. BATTLE, C. S. A.
During the winter of 1862-63 it was my fortune to be president
of one of the courts-martial of the Army of Northern Virginia.
One bleak December morning, while the snow covered the ground
and the winds howled around our camp, I left my bivouac fire to at
tend the session of the court. Winding for miles along uncertain
paths, I at length arrived at the court ground at Round Oak Church.
Day after day it had been our duty to try the gallant soldiers of that
army charged with violations of military laws, but never had I, on any
previous occasion, been greeted by such anxious spectators as on that
morning awaited the opening of the court. Case after case was dis
posed of, and at length the case of the " Confederate States vs. Ed
ward Cooper" was called, charge, desertion. A low murmur arose
spontaneously from the battle-scarred spectators as a young artillery
man arose from the prisoner's bench, and in response to the question,
"Guilty or not guilty ?" answered, "Not guilty." The judge-advo
cate was proceeding to open the prosecution, when the court, ob
serving that the prisoner was unattended by counsel, interposed, and
inquired of the accused, "Who is your counsel ?" He replied : "I
have no counsel." Supposing that it was his purpose to represent
himself before the court, the judge-advocate was instructed to pro
ceed. Every charge and specification against the prisoner was sus
tained. The prisoner was then told to introduce his witnesses. He
replied: "I have no witnesses." Astonished at the calmness with
which he seemed to be submitting to what he regarded as inevita
ble fate, I said to him, "Have you no defense ?" Is it possible that
you abandoned your comrades and deserted your colors, in the pres
ence of the enemy, without any reason?" He replied : "There was a
reason, but it will not avail me before a military court !" "Per
haps you are mistaken. You are charged with the highest crime
known to military law, and it is your duty to make known the causes
that influenced your actions." For the first time his manly form
trembled, and his blue eyes swam in tears. Approaching the presi
dent of the court, he presented a letter, saying as he did so, "There,
colonel, is what did it." I opened the letter, and in a moment my
38d-e

eyes filled with tears. It was passed from one to another of the court,
until all had seen it, and those stern warriors, who had passed with
Stonewall Jackson through a hundred battles, wept like little chil
dren. As soon as I sufficiently recovered my self-possession, I read
the letter as the prisoner's defense. It was in these words :
" My Dear Edward : — I have always been proud of you, and since
your connection with the Confederate Army I have been prouder of
you than ever before. I would not have you do anything wrong for
the world, but before God, Edward, unless you come home, we must
die ! Last night I was aroused by little Eddie crying. I called and
said, 'What's the matter, Eddie?' And he said : 'Oh, mamma, lam so
hungry !' And Lucy, Edward, your darling Lucy, she never com
plains, but she is growing thinner and thinner every day. And before
God, Edward, unless you come home, we must all die."
" Your Mary."
Turning to the prisoner, I asked, "What did you do when you re
ceived this letter ?" ' 'I made application for a furlough, and it was
rejected ; again I made application, and it was rejected ; a third time
I made application and it was rejected, and that night as I wandered
backward and forward in the camp, thinking of my home, with the
mild eyes of Lucy looking up to me, and the burning words
of Mary sinking in my brain, I was no longer the Confederate sol
dier, but I was the father of Lucy and the husband of Mary, and
I would have passed those lines if every gun in the battery had
fired upon me. I went to my home. Mary ran out to meet me ;
her angel arms embraced me, and she whispered, "Oh, Edward,
I am so happy ; I am so glad you got your furlough. She must have
felt me shudder, for she turned pale as death, and, catching her
breath at every word, she said : "Have you come home without
your furlough ? Oh, Edward, Edward, go back ! go back !
Let me and my children go down to the grave, but oh, for Heaven's
sake, save the honor of our name!' And here I am, gentlemen,
not brought here by military power, but in obedience to the com
mand of Mary, to abide the sentence of your court." Every officer
of that court-martial felt the force of the prisoner's words. Before
them stood in beatific vision, the eloquent pleader for a husband's
and father's wrongs, but they had been trained by their great leader,
Robert E. Lee, to tread the path of duty, though the lightning's flash
scorched the ground beneath their feet, and each in his turn pro
nounced the verdict : "Guilty." Fortunately for humanity, fortu-

nately for the Confederacy, the proceedings of the court were re
viewed by the commanding general, and upon the record was written :
"Headquarters Army Northern Virginia.
" The finding of the court is approved. The prisoner is pardoned, and
will report to his company. "R. E. Lee, General."
During a subsequent battle, where shot and shell were falling like
torrents from the mountain cloud, my attention was directed to the
fact that one of our batteries was being silenced by the concentrated
fire of the enemy. When I reached the battery every gun but one
had been dismounted, and by it stood a solitary Confederate soldier,
with the blood streaming from his side. As he recognized me, he
elevated his voice above the roar of battle, and said: "General, I
have one shell left. Tell me, have I saved the honor of Mary and
Lucy ?" I raised my hat. Once more a Confederate shell went
crashing through the ranks of the enemy, and the hero sank by his
gun, to rise no more.

COLONEL EDWARD WILLIS.
The following tribute to Colonel Edward Willis is an extract taken
from a book recently published by Major Robert Stiles, entitled
" Four Years Under Marse Robert " :
"One of the most promising of the young officers of the Army of
Northern Virginia in the spring of '64, was Colonel Edward Willis of?
the Twelfth Georgia Regiment. I saw him but once under the follow
ing circumstances : Our battery passed the winter of '63-64, not in the=
great artillery camp on the Central Railroad, but with the advance
line of infantry, guarding the middle fords of the Rapidan river-
Battalion headquarters were in a pine thicket between Raccoon
and Morton's ford. One beautiful day in the early spring I was-
seated in our headquarters tent at work on one of the battalion re
ports, which it was my duty as adjutant to make to artillery head
quarters, when a very striking looking head intruded itself in the tent
door, and in a very nonchalant, familiar tone, the owner of the head
asked : "Is Gibbes about?"
" We were not very punctilious about such matters in the Confed
erate service — perhaps not enough so ; but the intruder and interlocu
tor was obviously a private soldier — his hat unquestionably 'a slouch,r
his hair long and unkempt, his long overcoat of whatever original
color, now by long usage the color of the ground, and ending in a*
fringe of tatters around the skirt ; under it no sign of a coat or any
thing save a gray flannel shirt, no badge or insignia of rank any
where visible, not even an appropriate place for any, and his badly
worn pants, turned up around his very small feet, shod in very rough
shoes — I say, it did stir me a little unpleasantly that just this man
should ask in just these words and just this tone for Major Wade
Hampton Gibbes, of South Carolina, a young West Pointer who had
recently been assigned to duty with us. I might have answered dif
ferently had not a second glance revealed a face of such commanding
intelligence and personal force that I said, "If you will wait a mo
ment I will see"; and a moment later the very effusive meeting be
tween Gibbes and himself, and Gibbes' introduction to Colonel Cabell
and myself of ' Colonel Edward Willis, of the Twelfth Georgia,"
made me very glad I had answered as I had.

Colonel Edward Willis. 597
" They had been at West Point together, I think, when the war
(broke out. Gibbes seated himself, tailor fashion, at one end of a
large box of clothing which had not yet been opened, and Willis,
fltretched out on the box, put his head in Gibbes' lap, who began run
ning his fingers through the long, tangled tawny hair which hung al
most to Willis' shoulder.
" They began talking of their West Point classmates and comrades.
I was going on with my work and not listening closely, yet I could
not help being struck with the vigor and trenchant qualities of Willis'
characterization of the men. But in a few moments he began telling
of Jackson, and then I dropped my pen and hung eagerly upon his
words. I knew he had been on Jackson's staff and hoped he would
tell, as he did, how he eame to leave it.
" He said after Second Manassas, perhaps after Sharpsburg, Jack
son sent for him and said : ' Captain Willis, you have earned your
promotion, sir. You may take your choice between continued ser
vice on my staff, with the rank of major, and a majority in an infan
try regiment.'
"To which Willis, without hesitation, replied: 'I'll take the
infantry, general.' A reply that revealed the mettle of the man,
as Jackson indicated by saying : ' Sorry to lose you, sir ; but
you've made a soldier's choice ; you'll be assigned to the Twelfth
Georgia.' " Ere long he became colonel of the regiment, and at the time of
which I write it was well understood that no one commanded a better
regiment and that no regiment had a better commanding officer
than the Twelfth Georgia.
" Soon Willis began to talk of the campaign against Pope, which
he regarded as Jackson's masterpiece, and as he had been closely with
Jackson through it all, I considered what he said of value, as it cer
tainly was of surpassing interest. He first expatiated at some length
upon the masterly — I had almost said dastardly way in which Jack
son managed to find out all of Pope's plans and purposes, and yet to
elude and delude and deceive and defraud him in the most heartless
and malignant fashion as to his own movements and designs. . . .
. . . At last, Willis said all these tactics of deception were
exhausted ! Jackson was straight in front in the famous position in
the railroad cut and Pope's whole army moved upon him. . . .
. . Just as his disposition — the best he could make for resisting

598 Doles-Cook Brigade.
such an onslaught — was complete, Jackson heard from Longstreet,
who promised him aid in two hours. The shock could be delayed,
however, only a few minutes, and Jackson feeling the imminence ot
the crisis started down his lines to communicate to his troops Long-
street's assurance of help. I understood from Willis that he rode
along the line with him and that all he said was . 'Two hours men,
Qnly two hours ; in two hours you will have help. You must stand
it two hours.'
"It was the crisis of the campaign, and both sides fully appreciated
it. The enemy came right on : the officer commanding the center
brigade riding a coal black charger, carried the colors in his hand.
Willis said he came on with great plunges. The whole line thus gal
lantly lead rushed upon Jackson's men with enthusiasm assured of
victory. A hundred yards nearer, and the full fire from Jackson's
line burst upon them. The officer on the black charger was miracu
lously unhurt, his men rallied and pressed on after him. For a mo
ment it looked as if he would actually leap into the cut upon his
foes, but the next moment the great horse reared wildly and fell
backward upon his heroic rider, who jammed the color staff into the
earth only ten yards from the muzzles of Jackson's muskets — a mo
ment more and the whole magnificent array had melted into a mass of
fugitives. "Again Jackson rode down the lines: ' Half an hour, men, only
half an hour ; can't you stand it half an hour ?' AndJnow, as Willis
said, it seemed as if some of the men exhaled their 'very souls in
shouts, while others too much exhausted to cheer, took off their hats
and gazed at him in adoration as he passed. The enemy reformed,
began again to advance and Jackson quickened again his horse's gait.
They are coming once more, men ; you must stand it once more ; you
must stand it a half hour.'
" Could they have stood it ? We shall never know — for before the
mighty wave broke once again into the crest and foam of the actual
charge, the Texas brigade was on Jackson's right and Old Pete and
Old Jack together swept them in the counter charge, like chaff before
the whirlwind.
" I have not pretended to give Colonel Willis' exact words, and yet
in my memorandum account of his visit to our camp above referred
to, I incorporated his words as nearly as I could recall them, and I
have now conformed very closely to that memorandum.

Colonel Edward Willis. 599
" I never listened to more vivid delineation of strategy or battle.
He was thoroughly stirred while uttering it, and its impressions upon
us may be gathered from Colonel Cabell's words, as he, Gibbes and I
stood watching Willis as his figure disappeared in the thick pines :
' Stiles, there goes the only man I ever saw who I think, by possibility,
might make another Jackson !'
' ' In less than a month from that time he was made a brigadier-
general for brilliant service in the field, and the very next day yielded
up his glorious young life in battle, dimming the luster of victory
with his blood. Thus, on the altar of his county, was sacrificed this
gallant knight."

ROBERT E. LEE.

The affection in which the people of the South hold the memory
of this matchless man grows as time rolls on. The children of this
generation in the South are taught to revere the memory of Lee and
they will teach their children to do so. The only instruction on this
subject that is necessary is the reading of the story of the lovely life
of Lee. Whenever purity of character, nobility of nature, lofty aims
and military genius are honored, Robert E. Lee has a place among
the greatest of this world's heroes.
Even when the passions and prejudices born of the civil war were
still strong, Lee was respected and admired by the people of the
North, and as sectionalism has died away he has come to be recog
nized more and more as an American in whose virtues and achieve
ments the whole country should feel a pride.
Some of the highest eulogies of Lee have come from men who were
arrayed against him in battle, and from citizens of foreign nations to
whose impartial minds he rises in superb proportions. But no tribute
to Lee surpasses in strength and beauty that which our own Benja.
min H. Hill embodied in these words :
" When the future historian shall come to survey the character of
Lee, he will find it rising like a huge mountain above the undulating
plain of humanity, and he must lift his eyes high toward heaven to
catch its summit.
"He possessed every virtue of other great commanders without
their vices. He was a foe without hate ; a friend without treachery ;
a victor without oppression, and a victim without murmuring.
" He was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without
reproach ; a Christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile.
"He was a Caesar without his ambition ; Frederick without his tyr
anny ; Napoleon without his selfishness, and Washington without his
reward. "He was obedient to authority as a servant, and royal in authority
as a true king. He was gentle as a woman in life ; modest and pure
as a virgin in thought ; watchful as a Roman vestal in duty ; submis
sive to law as Socrates, and grand in battle as Achilles." — From an
Editorial in Atlanta Journal, January 19, 1900.

BISHOP DUDLEY ON LEE.

The anniversary of the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox
was celebrated by the Hamilton Club, of Chicago, April 9, with an
•elaborate banquet, to which 3,500 invitations were issued, and of
which two-thirds were accepted. The chief speaker of the evening
was Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky. After tracing Lee's career from
•boyhood until the surrender at Appomattox, Bishop Dudley said :
" Governor Theodore Roosevelt, in his 'Life of Thomas H. Ben
ton,' says (American Statesmen Series, page 38): 'The world has
•never seen better soldiers than those who followed Lee ; and their
leader will undoubtedly rank as, without any exception, the very
greatest of all the great captains that the English-speaking people
have ever brought forth ; and this although the last chief of his an
tagonists may himself claim to stand as the full equal of Marlbor
ough and Wellington.'
" Colonel Henderson, of the British army, the head of the great
military college, declares that the five greatest generals of the En
glish-speaking race are Wellington, Marlborough, Washington, Lee
and Stonewall Jackson . He expresses astonishment that three of
ithese men were born in old Virginia."

THE SWORD OF ROBERT LEE.
Forth from its scabbard pure and bright
Plashed the sword of Lee !
Far in the front of the deadly fight,
High o'er the brave in the cause of the right,
Its stainless sheen like a beacon's light
Led us to victory.
Out of Its scabbard where full long
It slumbered peacefully,
Roused from its rest by the battle's song,
Shielding the feeble, smiting the strong,
Guarding the right, avenging the wrong,
Gleamed the sword of Lee.
Forth from its scabbard high in air
Beneath Virginia's sky,
And they who saw it gleaming there,
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear
That where that sword led they would dare
To follow and to die.

602 Doles-Cook Brigade.
Out of its scabbard — never hand
Waved sword from stain so free,
Nor purer sword led braver band,
Nor braver band for a brighter land,
Nor brighter land had a cause so grand,
Nor cause a chief like Lee.
Forth from its scabbard ! How we prayed
That sword might victor be —
And when our triumph was delayed,
And many a heart grew sore afraid ;
We still hoped on while gleamed the blade
Of noble Robert Lee.
Forth from its scabbard ! All in vain,
Bright flashed the sword of Lee.
'Tis shrouded now in its sheath again ;
It sleeps the sleep of our noble slain,
Defeated, yet without a stain,
Proudly and peacefully. —FATHER RYAN.

FROM THE LEE MEMORIAL ODE.
When the effigy of Washington
In its bronze was reared on high
'Twas mine, with others, now long gone,
Beneath a stormy sky,
To utter to the multitude
His name that can not die.
And here to-day, my countrymen,
I tell you Lee shall ride
With that great "rebel" down the years-
Twin "rebels" side by side !—
And confronting such a vision
All our grief gives place to pride.
Those two shall ride immortal
And shall ride abreast of Time,
Shall light up stately history
And blaze in epic rhyme —
Both patriots, both Virginians true,
Both "rebels," both sublime !
Our past is full of glories ;
It is a shut-in sea,
The pillars overlooking it
Are Washington and Lee :

Robert E. Lee. 603.
And a future spreads before us,
Not unworthy of the free.
And here and now, my countrymen,
Upon this sacred sod,
Let us feel: It was "Our Father"
Who above us held the rod,
And from hills to sea
Like Robert Lee
Bow reverently to God. — JAMES BARRON HOPE.

Doles-Cook Brigade.

A SNOW BATTLE BETWEEN CONFEDERATES.
The following sketch was written the night after the battle, March
.23, 1864, by the Rev. A. C. Hopkins, D.D., chaplain of the Stone
wall Brigade:
Yesterday a deep snow fell ; but this morning a bright sun dis
persed all clouds and refreshed the camp of the Army of Northern
Virginia. "The boys" began snowballing in the Stonewall Brigade ;
after many regimental skirmishes the Stonewall and Louisiana Brig
ades combined and offered a snowball battle to Doles' Georgia and
Ramseur's North Carolina Brigades. The gauntlet was declined at
first by the Georgians on the ground that they were "not used to
snow." But soon the pride of those two large brigades of Rodes'
Division, who had won just fame in arms, was kindled, and they re
solved to chastise the haughty little band of Virginians and Louisi-
anians. After much irregular skirmishing both sides became some
what organized. The men of Johnson's Division were commanded by
Major Godwyn, of Louisiana, and Rodes' Division by Brigadier-Gen
eral Doles, of Georgia. After a long contest Doles drove Godwyn
pell-mell nearly a mile across an open field, and pursued his routed
-forces into their camp. Doles withdrew toward his camp. Godwyn
dispatched couriers to headquarters, and sent recruiting officers
through his two brigade camps. Doles' men, flushed with victory,
stood upon a hill in the open field, threatening demolition upon their
"foe." Godwyn's men, stung to desperation, rallied in front of the
camp. Brigadier-General James A. Walker, of the Stonewall Brig
ade, was placed in command of the Virginians and Louisianians, Col
onel Wm. Terry, of the Fourth Virginia, in command of Stonewall
Brigade, and Brigadier-General Stafford, of the Louisiana Brigade,
took command of his men. Doles was now reinforced by Battle's
Alabama Brigade, and was busy reorganizing.
Walker's position was at the angle of the two edges of some wood.
This furnished an old "Jackson's foot cavalryman" a fine opportu
nity of practicing his lamented chief's fine strategy. Accordingly,
Walker placed Terry in the edge of the woods, parallel to the
"enemy's" line and ordered them to "prepare ammunition" (snow
balls). Stafford was led under cover to a concealed position along the
•edge of the woods in front of Terry, at right angles to the former's

A Snow Battle. 605-
line and much nearer the "enemy." Just here a small body of cav
alry was seen to dash from the body of the "enemy'' down a ravine
on our left. It was generally thought their mission was peaceful and
intended to arrange "terms," but the quick military eye of Garrett
Doyle, Company K, Second Virginia, soon discovered their hostile
character, and he alone charged upon them, for Doyle heard the rat
tling of a team through our camp to the rear, and appreciating the-
value of commissary stores, determined to save them. Unaided and
alone Doyle assailed them, and whether by his heroic exertions or-
not, they suffered by the raid, as many of them rode off hatless.
Terry was ordered to engage the "enemy" stubbornly, as was his-
wont, and at a given signal from General Walker to fall back upon
"reserved ammunition," and to draw Doles into the ambuscade of"
Stafford's men. At the word the "Stonewall" advanced ; Doles met
them ; an engagement, quick, sharp and terrific in its grandeur en
sued. Walker rode gallantly at the front of his men, cheering them.
by presence and word, and when the shock came, he, the admired of
all his followers, was the chief object of his brave "enemies' " assault.
Countless snowballs flew and broke about his head, and the proud
enemy rushed to seize the marked hero. With stentorian voice he
shouted, "Retreat!" "Retreat!" The enemy thought him beaten;,
they rushed upon him to make reprisal of a hero. But this was the
signal. His men tarried only long enough to release his chafing steed
from numberless hostile hands that held his bit, and to bring off their
brave snow-covered chief, then fled as if for safety. A few steps
brought Doles into the hitherto concealed hands of Stafford. His-
boys rushed out, Terry's men rallied and turned upon their adversary.
Once more there was a vast cloud of snow from breaking balls that
filled the whole air and almost obscured the sun's bright face. The-
"foe" was worthy of Walker's steel ; but when the snow-smoke lifted
the enemy had recoiled. Charmed by the skill of the leader and in
spired by the brilliant success of his tactics, Walker's men pushed
their advantage, pursued the foe, dispersed them in rout, and drove
them into and through their camp. Many prisoners were captured
and sent to the rear till the issue "was known, and one long, loud cheer
rent the air that beautiful evening just before the golden sun sank
to the horizon.
Here was a battle that continued all day, with changing fortune-
Five brigades were engaged in it. Never did any cause inspire its.

champions with more excitement, zeal, exertion and courage. Many
prisoners were taken and retaken.
Gallantry was never more signal or universal, and none excelled in
this beyond the quartermasters and commissaries. Yet it was blood
less and left upon no heart the blemish of an unkind feeling. If this
were war, and these its results, how many recruits could be had for
the next. Certainly none who participated in the pleasant enthu
siasm of this battle would decline a place in a contest marked by so
much that was thrilling and followed by so little that was hurtful.
All who engaged in it will be pleased to revive its incidents, many of
which occurred to lighten the veteran warrior's burden.

The Negro. 607

THE NEGRO.
Members of the brigade have requested that a chapter in this his
tory be devoted to the negroes who acted as body-servants for the
officers and men of the various regiments composing the Doles-Cook
Brigade, during the "war between the States." Sufficient data is not
at hand to authorize sketches of all who shared the hardships of the
march and camp life with us. While on this subject, the life, habits
and treatment of the good and honest old-fashioned negro will be dis
cussed, and the part he played during the stormy war period, and the
relation he bore to the white people before that time. Before this
period the negroes of the South were the happiest and most con
tented race of people in the world ; they had no cares or responsibil
ities of any kind to make them miserable.
Their houses, clothing, provisions and everything they needed to
make them comfortable and happy were furnished by their owners.
When sick they had the most careful nursing and the best medical
attention that the country afforded, and delicacies suitable for sick
and convalescent were prepared for them until restored to health.
When death invaded their ranks they received decent and Christian
burial from their owners. The majority of the negroes were kindly
and humanely treated, for mutual ties of friendship existed, and com
mon sympathy and pecuniary considerations alike prompted this course.
Few owners were guilty of cruelty to their slaves, and such were al
ways regarded by their neighbors with loathing and contempt.
Many instances could be cited where suitable clothing was fur
nished and large wedding suppers given slaves by their owners when
they married, and on such occasions the ceremony was witnessed by
large numbers of whites and blacks, and all partook of the bountiful
repast prepared for the occasion, and all had a merry time.
Nearly all of the farmers gave their hands patches of land to cul
tivate, and often assisted in its cultivation in order to encourage and
furnish them with money to use as they deemed proper. Christmas
week was the happiest and jolliest period of the year, and all looked
eagerly for its comiDg. During that time no work that could possi
bly be avoided was required of them. They visited, danced, frolicked
and lived sumptuously. Their owners purchased and distributed
presents to each of them, and all were happy and contented.

608 Doles-Cook Brigade.
Hog-killing time was another big'event. The boys delighted in blow
ing up bladders, frying melts and sweet-bread on the hot stones, then
indulged in eating brains, chitterlings, sausage, souse, spare-ribs and
backbones with plenty of meat on them ; later on hogs-heads and feet
were enjoyed, the negroes sharing in all these luxuries. These were
indeed happy days, but they are gone forever. The Yankee, Wes
tern farmer, and what iB termed the "New South" have done away
with these luxurious and delightful times. A new order of things
has risen, new ideas, new methods, and new people have supplanted
those of the past. But have all of these changes brought greater or
more lasting happiness, or are the people more honest, more indus
trious or better citizens ? No doubt a very large majority of the older
people of the South, both white and black, recalling ante-bellum times
would promptly answer, no.
Corn-shuckings, house-raisings and log-rollings (of which this gen
eration is ignorant) were notable events, in either of which both
whites and blacks would travel miles to assist their neighbors. In
husking corn sides were chosen, each with its captain or leader, the
pile of corn divided, the leaders placed on top of their parts and
walking continually from one end to the other shouting with sten
torian voice some of their accustomed "corn-songs," as they were
called, to which the whole crowd of huskers would respond in like-
manner. They would work until midnight, then quit and commence
to dance, sing and eat, the dancing and singing usually lasting until
daylight. The great body of negroes seen at night by the glare of
numerous lightwood fires made a weird and picturesque spectacle.
Their shouting could often be heard four or five miles away. Th&
corn when husked was thrown to the front and the shucks to the rear,
and to behold the clean white corn flying through the air was a sight
never to be forgotten. As a general rule a drink of good, pure old
corn juice was given to every one present, and then no more until
they had finished their work. Every one went home happier and
more contented, and looked eagerly forward to the next frolic. The
older set understand and appreciate negro character better than the
younger generation ; they know their habits, peculiarities, weakness-
and dependence, and overlook many of their faults and shortcom
ings, for they were nursed by them, played with and visited their
humble but comfortable cabins at night, listened for hours to their
weird songs, enjoyed their clog or breakdown dances, hunted rab-

The Negro. 609
bits, coons and "possums" with them, ate potliquor and corn pones
out of the same vessel, listened to their folk-tales and frightful ghost
stories until they were afraid to go home alone for fear of meeting
hobgoblins of which they had heard so much. They deserve and
should receive the gratitude of the Southern people for their good
and exemplary conduct while all of the adults who were fit for mili
tary service, and most of the schoolboys who had reached the age of
fifteen were in the Confederate army. No disorder or disaffection of
any kind occurred in any portion of the South during all those dark
and trying days.
They were kind, gentle and obedient to the orders of the old men
who were unfit for service, and to the women and children who were
striving and using every means within their power to sustain them
selves and the armies in the field battling for the independence of the
South. The negroes were kindly disposed toward these defenseless
people, yea, their devotion, fidelity and loyalty was indeed wonderful
and beautiful. The old men, women and children in the country
were absolutely at their mercy. They could have burned their houses,
destroyed property of all kinds, committed the darkest and most
heinous crimes known, and murdered them in cold blood. Did they
do it ? No, but on the contrary protected them and looked after their
comfort, safety and interests.
Where on earth will you find another race of people situated as
they were, who would have acted and conducted themselves as these
good-hearted and ignorant slaves did ? The negroes of that day and
time were, as a rule, kind, gentle and considerate, and with few ex
ceptions would have remained the same obedient and trusting people
if it had not been for the teachings of' the adventurers who came
South soon after the surrender and fired their hearts with hatred for
their best and truest friends.
The solution of the Negro problem even at this date could be
quickly solved to the satisfaction of all concerned, and the two races
adjust themselves if the Yankees would quit meddling with them, for
each to a certain extent is dependent upon the other. When in
trouble or distress they invariably apply to the Southern man, and not
to their Yankee friends.
W. H. Council (colored), President of the Alabama Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Normal, Ala., says: "I have found the
white people of the South at all times unstinted in their support of all
39d-0

610 Doles-Cook Brigade.
institutions for the moral, religious and industrial development of the
negro race  An appeal to the Southern heart for any
character of aid for the negro always meets with the warmest encour
agement, while every attempt on the part of the negro to blot out
social lines or take the reins of government is met with bitterness to
extermination." The slaves were allowed to attend divine service on Sundays, and
were not only comfortably but well dressed. In some instances the
negroes owned their own churches, but as a rule all of the churches
belonging to the whites were provided with galleries for their use, and
often certain seats in the rear of the church were set apart for their
use. Their children attended Sabbath-school, and they were taught in
the Sunday-school by the best ladies and gentlemen of the commu
nity. It is a matter of history that General "Stonewall" Jackson
was Superintendent of a negro Sabbath-school at Lexington, Va.,
previous to the war.
While it is true that we have some bad negroes amongst us who
commit heinous crimes and terrible acts of violence, it is also true
that the great majority are law-abiding, good citizens who deserve and
enjoy the respect and friendship of their white neighbors.
When the war commenced Colonel Benjamin Camp, a planter of
Campbell county, Ga. , owned a negro man by the name of Will, who
was foreman on the plantation, and which had been given to his wife
on the date of their marriage. Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas C.
Glover, of the Twenty-first Georgia, married a daughter of Colonel
Camp, and when Glover was wounded at Sharpsburg, Md., Septem.
ber 17, 1862, this negro was sent to Virginia and brought him home.
Before the fall of Atlanta in 1864, a raiding column of Federal
cavalry crossed the Chattahoochee river at McCoy's Ferry, two
miles below the Camp farm. The Federals remained three or four
days just across the river from the Camp plantation, and during that
time Will dug a hole four feet square and six feet deep in the stable,
in which he buried feather beds, clothing, silverware, and numerous
articles of value, then covered it up with boards and a heap of stable
manure on top of them, and a mule stood over the buried articles.
He next went to a remote part of the plantation, dug a hole in which
he placed three large wooden boxes which he filled with over a hun
dred bushels each, of corn and wheat. The next day the Yankees
crossed the river, went to the residence of Colonel Camp and arrested

him. Will saw the Yankees as they approached the house and made
a break for a skirt of woods about fifty-yards back of the house. The
Yankees soon ran him down and carried him to the house. The cause
of his being captured was that he had badly sprained one of his
ankles in moving the wheat, and in making the sprint he again hurt
it. The road and yard were crowded with cavalrymen when he was
taken to the house, and a major in command of the advance had the
old gentleman a prisoner on the front porch, and his wife, who was a
stout lady, was giving the officer a piece of her mind. Soon after
Will was brought into his presence. This officer was rude and un.
gentlemanly enough to curse the old lady. As soon as he did so, the
negro inBtantly struck the ruffian a terrible blow with his fist under
the burr of the ear and knocked him headlong off the porch and half
way to the gate. The enraged major arose, drew his sword and started
to cut Will down, but at that moment the colonel in command rode
up. Colonel Camp gave him a Masonic sign which he recognized and
honored, and at once ordered him released, and placed a guard around
the premises to prevent all pilfering by the soldiers. The only mule
left on the place was taken when they left, and Will was ordered to
mount it and go with them as a guide. They asked him many ques
tions, among them what he had been hauling away from the planta
tion? He replied, nothing; but had started to go to the mill two or
three times that morning, but every time he made the attempt heard
that they were coming and turned back. To all questions about the
country and route to various places he professed profound ignorance,
pretending that he had been so closely confined at home that he knew
nothing of the surrounding country. After going two miles and find
ing him to be such a consummate ignoramus he was ordered to get off
the mule and go back home. They then took a negro belonging to a
neighbor of Colonel Camp for a guide ; while he was mounting the
mule Will whispered to him, "know nothing." Will started back
home limping, but had gotten only about half way when he met Gen
eral Ross' Brigade of Texas Cavalry on the Yankees' trail. He told
Ross what he knew of the raiders, their probable number and where
they intended going. He told him that they were making for Fair-
burn and Fayetteville, but in order to reach these places would have
to go to Campbellton, and turn at right angles to Fairburn. He also
told the general that he could guide the command by a settlement
road which would enable it to get ahead of the Federals and ambush

612 Doles-Cook Brigade.
them. Ross had one of his men take him on his horse and, under his
guidance, got ahead of the Federal cavalry and placed men in am
bush on either side of the road that they would have to travel. They
came in a short time, and when the head of the column was well nigh
through the Texans fired into them, and among the first killed was the
major who had so cowardly cursed a lady.
After the battle was over and they were gathering up the Yankee
dead, and the dead body of the major was found, Will exhibited every
symptom of delight and danced with all the vim that his sprained
ankle would permit.
George Wallace served through the entire war as a body-servant of
Captain Howard Tinsley, and was at the surrender of Lee's army.
He rode General Cook's famous war-horse " Old Whitey " home and
turned him over to Mr. Winship, a brother-in-law of the general, as
he was still in prison. At the battle of Winchester he was shot down
and so stunned that it seemed that he would die. General Cook called
one of his staff and asked him to shoot the horse, as he did not wish
him to suffer or fall into the hands of the enemy. A bullet was fired
into his head, but it seemed to revive him, for he at once got upon
his feet and went to the rear. The next day a member of the brigade
who knew the horse took him away from a soldier who was riding
him to the rear, and returned him to General Cook, who continued to
ride him until the close of the war. Old Whitey lived for twelve or
fifteen years after the surrender, and whenever driven to Americus, if
the brass-band happened to be playing, he would become very much
excited and would get as near the music as possible. When he died
he was buried in a coffin which General Cook had made expressly for
him. The general was greatly affected by the death of his old war-
steed. George became a politician and was elected to the State Senate dur
ing the Bullock regime. He now holds a position in the post-office in
Macon, Ga.
"Pete" was the carriage-driver of Colonel Tim M. Furlow, of
Americus. " Pete" went to the war with his young master, the gal
lant William L. Furlow, captain of Company D, Twelfth Georgia
Regiment. Captain Dawson was captain of Company A, and W. H.
Turpin was first lieutenant. These officers were under "Stonewall"
Jackson. In the battle at McDowell, Va., on the 8th of May, 1862,
these three gallant and brave officers fell. Distance from the railroads,

difficulty of transportation, decided those in authority to bury the
three Georgians in Virginia's soil. But Pete, fond of the folks at
home and devoted to hiB young master, would not consent. So per
sistent was he that the colonel of the Twelfth Georgia finally agreed
to help the negro. They aided him in getting coffins for the three ;
and Pete, having the money of Captain Furlow, hired an ox-cart and
hauled the bodies sixty miles to a railroad station ; and, suffering de
lays, by sheer persistence got the remains on- the cars and finally
brought them to Americus. The faithfulness of the negro appears all
the brighter when he could have so easily deserted and gone with
Milroy's troops. Pete himself was a sacrifice to the hardships of war
and was never again strong and robust. Thinking of* the strong ties
that existed between the old owners and their domestics, it seems a
thousand pities that these ties should have been so ruthlessly severed
and broken by those who came South to organize the negroes into a
"black man's party" and teach them to distrust those whom they
honored and respected and among whom they had to live.
Ab Lee went to Virginia with Lieutenant, afterwards Captain, A. 8.
Reid, of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, as his body-servant, and re
mained with him until the surrender. He is an honorary member of
the Confederate Veterans' Association of Putnam County, and also of
the Doles-Cook Brigade Survivors' Association. He is now living in
his old home at Eatonton, Ga.
Dick, the body-servant of R. H. and W. F. Jenkins, Company G,
Twelfth Georgia Regiment, was a good-hearted and handy man,
always in a good humor and very obedient. At the battle of Chan
cellorsville, on Sunday morning after the Yankees had been driven
some distance, Dick went on the battle-field to rob dead Yankees. He
soon came upon one with an elegant pair of boots, which he concluded
to appropriate to his own use. He took hold of his foot and com
menced to pull at the boot, but the supposed dead man spoke in a
feeble voice and asked him to please give him a little water. This
speech so frightened Dick that, instead of complying with the dying
man's request, he fled precipitately.
Isham, commonly called " Smut" because he was so black, was the
body-servant of Lieutenant Stephen B. Marshall, of the Putnam
Light Infantry, Company G, Twelfth Georgia Regiment. He was
the liveliest and rarest darkey in the regiment. Always in trouble
but never out of humor, every one picked at him and had some joke

614 Doles-Cook Brigade.
to tell on him. Lieutenant Marshall was an officer in a volunteer
company before the war. On one occasion it went into camp at the
Oconee Spring in Putnam county. While on this trip the officers
gave a dinner and invited a number of ladies. Amongst that number
was the lady to whom Lieutenant Marshall was engaged, and after
ward married. Isham was the cook, and had orders to smother a
chicken. Finally dinner was announced, but the chicken was not
brought to the table. After becoming impatient on account of the
delay, Isham was called and asked if he had smothered the chicken.
He answered yes, but said he did not know whether he was dead or
not, but that he ought to be, as he had tied it up in a bag, put it in
a box, and the box under the bed. When the assembled crowd heard
this they roared with laughter, while Marshall was mortified and
angered beyond expression.
At the battle of Alleghany Mountain a shell exploded near Isham,
when he immediately mounted a bare-back mule, his face toward the
tail of the beast, and the mule was rapidly driven to the rear by the
use of Isham's heels and a pole ; both the mule and negro were miss
ing for two or three days. When he returned Marshall asked him
why he left, when he promptly answered : Because ' a good run is bet
ter than a bad stand,' for had I remained and received a wound or
been killed, I could not have served you as I promised old master I
would." Isham went to his reward several years ago, and it is hoped that he
reached a better and happier home beyond the skies.
Morris, the body-servant of H. W. Thomas of the Putnam Light
Infantry, Company G, Twelfth Georgia Regiment, was a good, true
and faithful man, ever ready to perform any and all duties required
of him. He never crossed the Potomac ; would always get permis
sion to remain in Virginia when our army invaded Maryland and
Pennsylvania for fear of being captured, but came promptly to camp
and reported for duty as soon as the army returned to Virginia.
Whenever bullets commenced to fly and shells to whistle he invari
ably sought the rear. When asked why he did not remain with or
near his white friends who had to face the enemy, he would reply,
" You are white and I am a negro and can't stand the racket." He
was at the surrender and walked every step of the way home with his
master, and remained with him until advised to hunt a job and look
out for himself. He was universally liked by the good people of

The Negro. 615
Eatonton because he was polite, accommodating and knew his place.
He died with consumption about eight years after the surrender, and
the writer hopes that the change was a happy one.
It is to be regretted that a complete list of the many negroes who
went into the army as cooks and body-servants with the various mem
bers of this brigade can not be obtained.
It is nothing but simple justice to give each one due credit for ser
vices rendered their owners during the war, for the majority of them
were good and faithful servants. Those who survived the war, and
who attend our annual reunions are treated with the kindest consid
eration, and mix and mingle with the boys in the most cordial man
ner, and seem to enjoy the meetings fully as much as their white com
rades. Several of them yet attend such meetings, and are honorary
members of our association, and take seats in our convention hall.
All of the survivors of this brigade feel kindly toward them, for they
were constantly together for the greater part of the war, and each was
known by sight if not personally. There is not one of them that the
members of this brigade would not help out of any difficulty or assist
financially if within their power.

ERRATA.

6n page 29, line 25, " Goggins " should be " Gordon."
On page 62, line 10, " Eorty-fourth " should be "Forty-fourth."
On page 80, line 9, Robert " C." should be Robert " S." Smith. The
same error appears on page 107, line 1.
On page 126, "Wounded at Sharpsburg, Md., September 17, 1862,
while commanding his company," should be added to the record of
W. W. Hulbert.
On page 166, line 18, it is stated that John C. Cooper was "wounded
at King's School House, Va." This should have been omitted.
On page 185, line 27, "Bisel, Amos K." should read "Bisel, Amos
Kent." Also add: "Wounded at Chancellorsville May 2, 1863, and at
Winchester, Va., September 19, 1864."
On page 239, line 1, " Gannt " should be " Gantt."
On page 239, line 37, the word "died" should read "living," and on
page 243, twelfth line from bottom, the same correction should be made,
so that each page referred to will state that Captain Shepard G. Pryor
is living.
On page 242 A.D. Gatewood's record should read "quartermaster"
instead of " commissary-sergeant."
On page 349, line 3, should read "I, Stewart county."
On page 382 the record of James M. Shaw, after " 1862," should read :
"Wounded at Second Manassas and at Drewry's Blufi, Va. At home
wounded when Lee's army surrendered. Living in East Point, Ga."
On page 492, fourth line from bottom, it should be Company "I," in
stead of Company " K."
On page 577, line 16 should read " Carroll, B. F. (' Jack ')" instead of
" Carroll, Jack."
On page 578, line 12, in record of John C. Dulin, after the word " shoe
maker," add: "Living at Stone Mountain, Ga."
On page 582, line 35, in record of Newton M. South, the word " living "
should be " died," so that his record will read : " Died in Rex, Ga., in
1903."
