I met a great many friends and ac' quaintances from all over the South, .land a few camps of Confederate vet; erans from Northern states, and all J seemed as enthusiastic for the South ,1 as the day when Lee and Jackson 1 surrendered. Our regiment, 5th South Carolina . I ^ .'cavalry, went to Virginia in May, ; 1864. We first served on the north . side of James river in and around > Richmond. We were in all the fights: 1 Charles City, Second Cold Harbor, C | White House, York River, Chicka- e rj hominy, Treviilian Station and oth- ^ .1 ers. With some friend*, we went over - to Petersburg to visit the Crater, where so many South Carolinians [ | were blown up, and so many lives > lost. When we reached Petersburg | we were met by Mrs. Tucker White J v; . and her nephew, Frank, to whom we i f are under many, many obligations; ^ for driving us from one place to an- J A .! other, to show us all the points ofj^( {interest. We first went to the Crater f and saw the breastworks and where a . the explosion was. At this Crater t! _! there is an old Presbyterian church a| called Old Blanford. built in 1781.
