HISTORY OF COMPANY G, NINTH S.C. REGIMENT, INFANTRY, S.C. ARMY AND OF COMPANY E, SIXTH S.C. REGIMENT, INFANTRY, S.C. ARMY.
Coker, James Lide:
Charleston. 1899. 210pp. 12mo. Original grey cloth, gilt. Minor shelf wear, light rubbing. Internally clean and bright. A very good copy. From the August Kohn Library with engraved bookplate on front pastedown and later ownership ink stamp of Julian Hennig on front pastedown. An important Confederate regimental history "prepared and published by request of the survivors of these companies." Coker, a former Major in the Confederate Army and commanding officer of the Sixth Regiment, provides a précis of the war's genesis along with unit rosters for both companies, listing the names of each soldier, rank, and whether wounded or dead. The Ninth Regiment was disbanded at Yorktown in 1862, and the survivors, along with the remnants of another company of the Sixth, were formed into Company G, the Sixth S.C. Regiment, on which the bulk of this work concentrates. The narrative, which covers the period from the first engagement at Manassas to the surrender at Appomattox, includes chapters on "The Fredericksburg Campaign," "Sherman's Barbarities," and Coker's wounding near Chattanooga in 1863. Howes states only 150 copies were printed. HOWES C554 "aa". TURNBULL IV, 394. DORNBUSCH II:912.
