    'Vivid Account of a Pest in Camp.' - "Confederate Veteran Magazine." Nashville, Tennessee.
    "G.G. Buchanan, now of Belcher, Texas who was of Company A, Palmetto Sharpshooters, sends to the 'Veteran' special inquiry for his comrade and friend, BOB GREER. He relates some thrilling experiences they had together and especially a time when they were in the trenches by Petersburg. He tells an interesting story of how he and Bob went down to a running creek for a bath one July morning in 1864 and how the Yankee gunner cut his fuse for their great discomfort. They were between the lines of battle, and had gone to the creek through great peril, but they were in need of a change from some 'jayhawkers' that 'could climb a fellow's leg the straightest, stick the closest, and scratch the hardest of any crawling thing on earth'. He says; Bob and I were having a good time- O yes, we were down under the hill, as we thought, out of sight; but mind you, blind things can travel in dark places. We had taken off our old shirts and began to splash them down in the water, thinking we would kill or shake off a few of those critters and that some few of them might run across the lines to see how a good fat yankee would taste. But let me tell you, if that water business had been the only way to get rid of those things, I am sure we would have to have been half-soled before this time. When we got in a good way with our washing a doleful sound came at us saying "Where is you "? Where is you"... and they kept coming and getting closer and closer. Bob took up his linen and struck off in a long trot, saying " Come on Buck; this aint no good place." But neither of us were hurt and here I am, August 25, 1893.)

      COMPANY C - PALMETTO RIFLEMEN

        The "Palmetto Riflemen: were first organized in 1860 in Anderson, Anderson District, South Carolina, as part of the South Carolina State Militia. With the secession of the State in December 1860, the company volunteered its services, and in April 1861 was enrolled under the command of Captain James H. Whitner of Anderson. Joining with other companies the men were mustered into Confederate States service as Company B of the 4th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry Regiment in June 1861. Serving with the regiment in and around Manassas Junction and Centreville, Virginia, during the early months of the war, the company settled down in the camp around Centreville throughout the winter of 1861.

        With the expiration of the company's original term of enlistment (twelve months) in early 1862, the company was reorganized and mustered back into Confederate Service on April 16th, 1862, near Orange Courthouse, Virginia, as Company C of the Palmetto Sharpshooters Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, under Captain William Wirt Humphreys. The company would serve with the regiment throughout its campaigns and marches, surrendering with the Army of Northern Virginia on April 9th, 1865, at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. After laying down their arms on April 10th, 1865, the company remained together as a unit, marching with the regiment (and brigade) to Danville, Virginia, where on April 14th, 1865, they were given their paroles and started on their homeward march.

      COMPANY F - PICKENS SENTINELS

        Organized in April 1861 by James Marcellus Steedman with volunteers from the lower portion of Lexington District, South Carolina (the current Batesburg-Leesville area), the "Pickens Sentinels" were briefly attached to the Johnson Hagood's 1st South Carolina Volunteer Infantry Regiment in May 1861, however, soon moved to Camp Quitman near Ridgeville, South Carolina. It was there on July 10th, 1861, that they were officially mustered into Confederate States service as Company K of the 9th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry Regiment, for twelve months service, to date from April 8th, 1861.

        Traveling with the regiment to Virginia, they arrived in Richmond on July 20th, and continued on to Manassas Junction, arriving on the 21st, and then to Camp Pettus at Centreville on the 28th. Attached to Brigadier General David R. Jones Brigade (later under General Richard H. Anderson), they would serve on picket duty along the Potomac River near Germantown, from August to October 1861, when they moved to McLean's Ford, remaining there until November, when they returned to Centreville. When the army withdrew from there south towards Richmond in February & March, the regiment served as part of the rear guard of the army. During this march south, the regiments original term of service expired, and the companies were either disbanded or reorganized, and the 9th Regiment ceased to exist as an organization.

        The majority of the "Pickens Sentinels" re-enlisted for three years' service, and reorganized themselves as part of a new regiment, and on April 16th, 1862, they were officially mustered back into Confederate service as Company F of the Palmetto Sharpshooters Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, under the command of Captain Joseph Lee - Captain Steedman going into service with the 6th South Carolina Infantry Regiment, he would eventually rise to the rank of Colonel of that regiment. Serving with the regiment throughout its' campaigns in Virginia, Maryland, Georgia and Tennessee, the men re-enlisted for the duration of the War on January 20th, 1864, at Morristown, Tennessee.

        Continuing with the Army of Northern Virginia, the company surrendered with the regiment on April 9th, 1865, at Appomattox, Virginia. The company was paroled on April 10th, 1865, under the command of 3rd Lieutenant W.L. Steedman, and numbered 1 officer and 29 enlisted men.

Daniels. With the regiment they moved to Yorktown, Virginia, where they were engaged in the action at that place on May 5th, 1862, losing two (2) men slightly wounded.

        Serving with the regiment throughout its campaigns and marches, the company surrendered with the Army on April 9th, 1865, at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. On April 10th, 1865, they laid down their arms, at the time the company was under the command of First Lieutenant Warren D. Wilkes and surrendered with two (2) officers and twenty-six (26) enlisted men. Remaining together as a unit, the company, and regiment, marched to Danville, Virginia, where on April 14th, 1865, they were given their paroles and started on their homeward march.

      COMPANY M - PACOLET GUARDS

        The "Pacolet Guards" were organized at Limestone Springs in Spartanburg District, South Carolina, by Jacob Q. Carpenter, a veteran of the War with Mexico, and prominent merchant from the Grassy Pond area. The men were enrolled by Carpenter on April 13th, 1861, in Spartanburg District, and joined with other volunteers under Micah Jenkins, which were designated as the 5th Infantry Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers, and sent to a camp of instruction near Orangeburg, South Carolina. It was there that the company was mustered into Confederate service as Company G of the 5th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry Regiment on June 4th, 1861, for twelve months service to date from April 1861, by Lieutenant Colonel Barnard E. Bee, S.C. Volunteers.

        After being mustered into service the men boarded trains in Orangeburg on June 4th and moved with the regiment to Richmond, Virginia, arriving at that place on the 10th of June, going into camp, at what was designated as Camp Davis, and remaining there until June 20th, moving to Manassas Junction. The regiment arrived at Manassas on June 21st and went into camp at Camp Walker, remaining there until July 17th. On the 17th by order of Brigadier General David R. Jones the company (with the rest of the regiment) advanced to Bull Run Creek and went into bivouac. It was here that the regiment was when the battle of First Manassas (Bull Run) took place on July 21st, 1861, during which time the men were ordered to attack a battery, and in the ensuing fighting the company lost one man killed and two wounded. That evening the company returned to its bivouac on Bull Run Creek, remaining there until the 23rd, when they advanced to Fairfax Station, going into camp at that place until August 12th.

        On August 12th the company moved to Germantown, remaining there until October 4th; during which time they were engaged in various picket and garrison duties. On the 4th they marched back to Fairfax Courthouse, and on the 12the were placed as pickets along the Mills Crossroads until the 15th when they were relieved, and moved to McLane's Ford on the 16th, and to Leesburg on the 22nd, but returned to McLane's Ford on the 28th. Joining the Army at Centreville, they took part in the withdraw from Manassas on March 8th, 1862. Halting at Orange Courthouse from March 9th to April 15th, they then continued the march to Yorktown, arriving there are going into the trenches around Fort Magruder.

        It was during this time that the company's original term of service expired on April 13th, 1862, however as a result of the conscription act the men were given the choice of re-enlisting as a body and electing their own officers, or to return home and be conscripted. The men chose to re-enlist and re-organized themselves once again under the command of Captain Carpenter, and were mustered into Confederate service as Company M of the Palmetto Sharpshooters Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, for the duration of the war. Joining the regiment on April 23rd, 1862, near Richmond, they were engaged in the action on May 31st, 1862, at Seven Pines in which Captain Carpenter was killed along with four (4) others of the company, with an additional eleven (11) wounded. Following the Federals, they were again engaged on June 27th at Gaines Mill, losing fourteen (14) wounded, and on June 30th in which another three (3) were killed and six (6) wounded. By the end of the campaign the company was reduced to an effective strength of only thirteen (13) men.

        Continuing with the regiment throughout its campaigns and marches, the men surrendered with the Army on April 9th, 1865, at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. Laying down their arms on April 10th, 1865, the company was commanded by First Lieutenant Robert F. Montgomery and consisted of three (3) officers and twenty-two (22) enlisted men.
