Reminiscences of an Abbeville Regiment in Mexico War
The reminiscence recalls the 1846 7 campaign against Mexico. Palmetto Regiment from South Carolina included Abbeville county men led by Capt Marshall. Notable figures include Lt Sellick and General McGowan. Duel with Dr Lomax over ball handling and local press faction fights followed. Posey, editor and duelist, faced controversy, duel, and eventual move to Mobile. The narrative ends with merging papers into the Press and Banner and a closing reflection on aging and writing journalism.
