THE OGLETHORPE RIFLES.
One of the Noblest Bands That
Ever Took up Arms.
THEIR MANY DEEDS 0E DARING
And the Suffering They Endured Dur
ing Four Years of the War, as Re
corded by Lieut. T. D. Gllham.
CHAPTER I.
The company was organized with
Dr. George Lumpkin, Captain; Jacob
Phinizy, 1st Lieutenant; Nathaniel M.
Hunter, 2d Lieutenant, and William R.
Wright, 3d Lieutenant—Commissioned
officers.
The non-commissioned officers were
as follows: M. P. Davis, 1st Sergeant;
William 2nd Sergeant; Till
man C. Harrison, 3d Sergeant; F. A.
Hurt, 4th Sergeant or Color Sergeant;
T. R. Maxey, 1st Corporal; T. J. Bow
ling, 2nd comoral; B. A. Christopher,
3d corporal; II. J. Pace, 4th corporal;
L. F. Moore and J. M. Harris, musi
cians.
Thus organized we met atMaxeys on
the morning of the loth of May, armed
and equipped for service.
Our friends and sweethearts were
there to say goodbye, but some of the
Blue Cockade boys could not stand the
racket and backed out from going then
and never did go at all. When the en
gine of the Ga. R. R. came in view
hearts began to flutter, for they knew
the time was short, but it came, and in
a short time we were off for Augusta,
amid the cheers and shouts of men and
women. That night we arrived in Au
gusta to find a sumptuous supper pre
pared for us by Ferdinand Phinizy and
J. M. Newby, two marched citizens of Augusta.
After supper we to the South
Carolina railroad, and were soon on our
way to Richmond. We traveled all
night and arrived at Kingsville the
next morning. This was the poorest
place I ever saw. We could get noth
ing to eat or drink, not even water. locked
We had plenty to eat, but it was
up in a car, so we had to break it open
and get our rations, and after we had
eaten our officers had thought to have a
drill and each one to appear on the
drill ground with his knapsack, can
teen and haversack to drill in the sun
shine and heat. Here some more of us
came near coining back drill home thus, when we
thought we had to only but we
did not, and this was the time that
the attempt was made to drill us with
otlr knapsacks on. We soon found out
that we did not even have to fight with
them on.
That evening we boarded the train
for Wilmington, IN'. C., which we were
nearly two days in reaching. We ar
rived at this place, crossed the river,
and after a stop of about three hours,
were off for Petersburg, Ya. Here we
left our tents and baggage and went to
Richmond, arriving there in the night.
Capt. Lumpkin turned the company
over to a stranger and went to a hotel,
Lieutenants Phinizy and Hunter hav
ing been left at Petersburg with the
baggage. We were marched to the
fair grounds and turned loose for the
night, and the a old mad field set of with men we were;
there in no supper
and nothing to lay down upon for the
night. The boys were hostile next
morning when Capt. Lumpkin came
out from Richmond, and we came very
near telling him that he might hunt an
other company, for we felt that we had
not been treated right and that he was
not the man we thought he was when
we elected him captain. He had to
talk right pretty to hold his position,
but we all stuck, and moved to How
ard's Grove, where we joined Colonel
Francis T. Bartow, who was the com
mander of our regiment, and we were
mustered into service for three years
of the war.
In a few days we started to Harper’s
Ferry. We did very well until we ar
rived at Strasburg, morning where we when stayed all
night. The next we got
ready to march we found that only one
half of us could ride, so it was agreed
that half should ride first and over half
way, when they were to walk, but nary
walk did thosejwho got on the wagons
at Strasburg do. It was as hard a day’s
march as was made during the war.
But very few of those that rode were
ever in a fight with the enemy. Straws
show which way the wind blows. I
wore out the shoes that I had on and
had to get another pair at Wincnester.
Here we stayed a few days, where and then
went to Harper’s Ferry, but we did ex

days and then got orders to march we
knew not where. The first day we
went through Charlestown, the place
where John Brown was hung.
Here we learned something ladies, of the
hospitality of Virginia for when
we marched into town we were cover
ed with dust and tired and thirsty, and
the good ladies came among us with
pitchers of ice water to slake our thirst
and with words of cheer, bat we could
not tarry with them as we wanted to,
but had to move on. vv e camped that
night at Bunkersville, and slept well for

Col. Bartow was fooled badly as to
t he line of battle that was to be form
ed here. We did not fight here, for
I Genl. Patterson failed to meet us, so
we were marched to Winchester, and
here we remained until Genl. Johnston
received orders to join Beauregard at
Manassas, which order we received
on the 18th day of July, 1861. While
we were camped at Winchester more
than half of the Oglethorpe Rifles had
the measles. On the 18th we received
orders to fall into ranks which was
done, and here Col. Gardner made his
first speech to the boys. It was as I
recollect it: “Gentlemen and Soldiers,
I have a long and a bard march to make
and but short time to make it in. I
don’t want to start with a man that 1
cannot count on getting there. If there
are any who think they can’t make it
let them step three paces to the front.”
A few stepped forward but remained thirty-two
of the Oglethorpe Rifles in
line and they got there and were in the
fray. It was a hot day and dusty weath
er in July and we had not gone very
far before we found that to be a sol
dier was no child’s play, but dry meant road
hard work and marchiug on Let a
without water to drink. a man
know that there is no water to be had,
and he just will have it or die. It was
about midnight when we crossed the
Shenandoah rivet, and we found its
waters cool and good. and The them boys
doffed their clothiug tieing
on their rifles, cooled off in passing
over the river, but after we crossed we
had a rough time, for the road was
rocky and the night dark. We soon
reached a town called Adie, where we
slept an hour er two, and then took
up the line of march for Masassas,
which place we reached that night.
On the morning of the 21st we were
called into line and marched around,
back and forth until we came in view
of the enemy’s line of battle where we
were halted, and ordered to examine
our guns to see that they were clean,
and then to load them. So we were
ready for the day’s work. The ball
opened with us as something novel
and also serious. This was the first
time that we ever saw the enemy and
he mad and we got mad too, for it was
not long before some of us was getting
hit by bullets from the enemy. A. F.
Hurt was the first to get wounded. He
was struck by a cannon shot on the foot
that made him a cripple this for history life. The
next was the writer of be
fore he had fired a gun. Then the
wounded were thick and fast. The
first thought with me was to get to
water. I had been told and showed
how to dress a wound. I made for the
ravine close by, where I found water
to drink and to wash my wound and
then to put a bandage upon it, which
was the only dressing it received until
Tuesday morning at the University of
Virginia; but it did very well.
In this battle the Oglethorpe Rifles,
had sixteen men wounded—just half
the members who went into the battle
—some very slightly, but it was blood the
first battle, and if there was
shed it was a wound. Some of the
boys were wounded severely. Among
that number was Jesse Dalton, Elam
Lumsford, E - T. Martin, J. L. Wright,
L. C. Langston, and A.F. Hurt. They
all got well but Elam Lunsford who
died from his wounds. The wounded
were permitted lionized to come while home here, on fur
lough, to be espe
cially among the ladies. I ought to
have got married there. My wound
would have been worth a hundred thou
sand dollars then, but when the war
closed, it was not worth a copper. As
to the doings of the boys while I was
at home I can’t write much.
Our first camp was named for our
lamented Col. Bartow. At this camp
we had a man to shoot his finger off
that he might be discharged. And I have here
never heard of him since.
Capt. Lumpkin resigned, and well he
did, and Lieut. Phioizy was elected in
his stead, and James Young 1st Lieut.
The regiment then moved to Fairfax
C. II. Here short I rejoined for my the command long roll
but for a time,
was beaten shortly after day. I got to I camps, found
which was just before
the boys glad to see me and to hear
frem home. That day I was sent to
the hospital, where I stayed about From two
months with the ehillsand fever.
Fairfax we moved to Centerville where
we stayed all the winter and it was a
cold one too.
