[reminiscences or the
WAR BETWEEN THE
STATES.
History, Sayings and Doings
of Company H.
15th Regiment, South
Carolina Volunteers, i
BY W. H. H. BEVIL.
After I stopped at D. (). Learys,
the regiment went on by Culpepper
to Gordonville, thence to Fredericksburg,
and before the famous
battle on the 13th of Decern!>er 18(12 <
(len. Drayton's brigade which consisted
of Georgians and South Carolinians
was broken up, and the 15th
was assigned to Gen. J. B. Kershaw. (
his brigade consisted of the 2nd, <
3rd, 7th, 8th, 15th regiments and i
James battallion. Mr. Leary took 1
the Richmond paper, and 1 read '
about the Fredericksburg battle. 1
The mountains up there where I 1
was at, was full of deserters from ]
both armies, North and South, and ]
conscript officers was busy bunting i
them up and catching some and
sending them back, and having
fights with others, but they did not
trouble a Yankee deserter they let j
him alone, so he might keep out of 1
his army.
When I got able to travel 1 went <
to the company about the 1st of 1
January 18(13. They were then near 1
Hamilton crossing some six or seven <
miles from Fredericksburg,. A few i
days later we went into wintor l
quarters, the weather being very ]
cold, but one company of the 15th i
Would go on picket duty at Fred- i
ericksburg every day more or less. ]
Company II. went one morning, it <
was snowing and when we got there j
it was about six inches deep. We 1
secured a house, a large 2 story ]
brick building near the river for 1
our quarters, and kept a look out j
on the river, the Yankees were on (
the opposite side. During that day {
the house caught on fire and burn- ]
e<l up, and we had to look for an- J
other place, finally securing a house t
on Main street near the end of the t
rock wall which the 15th was be" 1
hind in the time of the battle. j
Thcr e was a plank fence in the (
back yard, and we had to have 1
something to build a fire with, so 1
wc tore down the fence and broke >
it so we could get it into the fire- j
place and we had a fire. Meanwhile t
the owner of the property, came in *
cursing and nhj"^?-? ? ?? ? Vnnwood, \
CJd Fanner and Bill Cudd werealxuit e
to kill him. J. M. Condry/of Co. 1
H., ordered him to get out, which e
he very reluctantly did. Wc re- fl
mained there until next morning, a
relieving our pickets at intervals, 1
then we were relieved, and went a
back to our winter quarters. There t
was a good deal of snow that win- c
ter and we had a lot of fun snow- t
balling a whole company and rcgi- s
ment against one another. Wc ,<i
stayed tlvere until the latter part of i
March when wc went to another <
place alxmt a mile and a half or c
two miles. 1
Al>out the first of May General
Hooker moved his army up the ^
Iiappahanock river and crossed over t
suui came as far as Uhancolloreville. f
Our camp was broken up, wo left
iii a hurry, I left a camp kettle on
the fire cooking some, lye hominy,
We reached C'hancellorsvillc that
evening, late pickets had been lighting
nearly all day, that was on the
2nd day of May, we slept in the
edge of a piece of woo(Js, and the
officers including (Jen. I;cc held a
consultation, we threw out pickets
by companys to hold Hooker in
1 check until Gen. Jackson could get
in the rear. Night came on and
' soldiers were passing us until quite a
late hour. The next morning alxmt
sun-rise a signal gun was fired, and
Jackson gave the command to open
fire on Hooker's rear, Jackson himself
being wounded that morning,
- Sunday, May 11 rd.
We then got orders to advance,
' and it was with difficulty that wc
could advance in order on account
of the shrubbery, but when wc got
1 out into the open space in front of
' their breastworks, which they had
thrown up during the night, we
saw them retreating back in a hur5
ry We then went on as far as their
' breastworks and stopped in the
road. The Chanccjlervillc House
' which was a two-story brick building
was then burning up with 52
" Yankies and two Relxds in it. At
that timo Gen. Segwick had crossed
ovor the Rappahanock at Fredericksburg
and coining in our rear,
but Gen. Earlcy was holding him in
check. The 15th then got orders
to go and meet him. We met him
at Salem church that evening.
" Capt. Charley Boyd, of Union got
killed at Chancellervillo,
f In my laHt I omitted one partic"
ular point viz. while we were in
' winter headquarters at Fredcricka"
burg, Txim Bond took sick and died
and was buried, and we all concluded
to send him home, so we
} wrote for Jim Brown to come after
him, but before he arrived Frank/
lin Hancy also (lied, and when Mr. !
Brown eame we made up enough '
money to send them both home, j
each private giving two dollars, i
non-commission officers giving three !
dollars and commission officers
giving five dollars. We could not
send one home and leave the other.
These men died in my tent and
why they were not sent to some
hospital 1 can not tell.
We arrived at Salem church on
Sunday evening, May :?rd; the
church being situated in the fork of
across road, the loth regiment
took a position in the road to the
right of the church, and Gen. Wilcox,
Alabama Brigade in front and
left of the church. We sent out
pickets and in a short time the
Yankies came on, and the pickets
opened fire on them. On they
came, the picket line keeping up a
good fire, and retreating hack at
the same time behind our line.
IVileox's men were lying down in
the road unobserved by the foe, t
when of a sudden they arose and
poured a volley in their ranks and
killed .SO, around the church they
retreated back one company of the
loth on the extreme left fired into
them as they were getting away.
By this time night was coming on
md a few shots were heard from
the picket line during the night.
The next morning everything seem>d
to be at a stand still until late in
the afternoon, Gen. Earley was
holding them in check at Fredericksburg.
.lust before night we
were ordered to advance and take a
uxttery which was shelling us. The
pines and bushes being very thick
we could not move far before we
would have io stop and form a new
line, here occurred an amusing iniident.

not knowing nor earing for the
langcr we were in. A few moments
ater we got orders to go left, obique
in order to form a junction
vith Gen. Barley's division and
iress the Yankies to the river. Our
olors was carried between Co. H.

Yilliam Yanderford was color bearr
and a good one he was too, for '
ic was tall and stout and had sand
nough in his craw to carry that
lag anywhere he was ordered. Just
t this time Capt. Warren of Co.
)., did not understand the order
nd kept going straight forward uir
il his company ran above the col rs*and<
got all tangled up. At
his time Lieutenant-Colonel Jocph
F. Gist seemed to get excited
md Maj. Bill Gist one of the best
ncn we had in the army, quickly
tbserved the situation ami assumed
onnnand and got the men to their
daces and on we went.
When we got out of thai thicket
ve came to an open place where
he timber had been cut a year lieore
and sprouts and vines had
;rown up, myself and Alfred
iprouse got tangled up with them
md we lioth got a good fall, he
vith a bruised knee and 1 with a
skinned hand, but we quickly arose

t was i?et finer dark- and ? <> ? <" <>

lie plank road. We came to a deep
avine where the Yankies had been
ying all day, some of Co. II. going
in one side and some on the other
ode. There was an old fallen down
ihant there and Joe Bailey found
i Yankie lying under it and made
urn a prisoner, we went a little
urther and halted for a few mo- '
nonts in that ravine. The Yankees
lad piled up a lot of old clothes
ind set them on fire and left. I
ambled the pockets of a Yankee
mat, and found a white handled
razor and it was a jim-dandy one,
Henry (iault found part of a ham

to keep while he hunted for
more, all of a sudden we were called
to arms, and in a double quick
march down the road for some dis.

Berry had thrown it away, on hearing
which Henry got mad, hut
made the rest of us . boys laugh. At
this time a battery was planted hehind
us and threw shells where
they were crossing the river, and a
horse got frightened and ran hack
without any rider, and some of the
lioys tried to catch him hut failed,
and Col. Joe Gist's negro caught
him. He was a fine black horse
and the Colonel kept him and rode
him.
