Civil War Records - Accession 181 - M82 (103)

The Civil War Records consist of dispatches during the American Civil War from General P. G. T. Beauregard mainly to General Robert E. Lee but also to Lieutenant General Wade Hampton and Major-General Lafayette McLaws concerning the movement and position of Union and Confederate troops in North and South Carolina; dispatches to and from Lieutenant General Wade Hampton concerning the movement and deployment of Union and Confederate troops; summary of principle events in South Carolina from January to March, 1865; and a report of Lieutenant-Colonel James E. Burton 33rd Infantry on operations of Union troops in South Carolina for February, 1865. The dispatches are invaluable to anyone researching General Sherman\u27s march through South Carolina and burning of Columbia, SC during the American Civil War in 1865. All are typescript copies.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/1329/thumbnail.jp
