Battle Echoes From Sunset to Gaines Mill
A Confederate private recalls June 1862 marching with Company C Fifth Alabama Brigade under Archer. He volunteers to carry the regimental color, faces a night march, the Meade like skirmishes, and a brutal assault toward Gaines Mill, where he is wounded in the hip and wrist. Litter bearers, hospital runs, and hunger at Chimborazo follow as he endures thirst and finds humane care from ward master Caldwell of the First Georgia regulars.
