Reminiscences of the Second Manassas Battle Tale
A late 19th century reminiscence recounts four Methodist clergymen and schoolmates from South Carolina who died together at the Second Manassas. The narrative places their graves near the field, notes their ties to Col. Walker’s company, and links further Civil War recollections to Gaines’ Mill and Winchester, including Johnson’s North Carolina brigade’s famed Thin Gray Line and a dramatic cavalry action near Winchester on September 19. The piece blends memory with twists of individual soldiers’ fates and cross-mentions many veterans and regiments.
