Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 27. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), chapter 1.2 (search)
, October 29, 1899. Grave in Hollywood recalls a story of devotion to duty. Came South to fight with us. James H. Beers, of Connecticut, who fell at Chancellorsville—Ran the gauntlet when he left Home—Services for the Confederacy. Within the last few days there has been placed over a low mound in my family lot in Hollywood, a simple granite marker bearing this inscription: James H. Beers, of Connectcut, who fell at Chancellorsville fighting for Virginia and the South, May 3, 1863. The erection of this modest stone not only marks the discharge of an obligation, richly merited and long deferred, but it also epitomizes a li Davidson's company, to which he belonged—who told me that my Yankee was the finest gunner in the battery and fought like a Turk. Between Malvern Hill and Chancellorsville I saw Beers perhaps two or three times—I think once in Richmond, shortly after his wife and children and my mother and sisters arrived from the North. I

what to them was right and just have not been surpassed in the annals of the world. And O how the pages of that history will sparkle with lustre, on which will be written the names of the military chieftains of the South, the name of Robert E. Lee, whose noble virtues and martial deeds gave glory and renown world-wide to his beloved country; of Jackson—Stonewall Jackson— Whose eye met the battle As the eagle's meets the sun— that military genius whose fall on the bloody field of Chancellorsville made freedom shriek; of Smith and Polk, the Christian soldiers; of Albert S. and Joseph E. Johnston; of D. H. and A. P. Hill; of Cleburne and Stuart and Morgan and Bragg and Hardee, and a host of others, who in life labored and fought for the South, and who are at rest now, we trust, on the shining shore of the other side. But no pages of that history will be brighter and more resplendent than those which shall record the marvelous deeds and terrible trials of the women of the South.<

k his place in the ranks of his old company, but soon after the second battle of Manassas, he was appointed Captain of company G, of the Second Florida, and participated in the investment of Harper's Ferry and the battle of Sharpsburg. Upon the return of Lee's army to Virginia the Florida regiments, the 2d, 5th and 8th were formed into a brigade and placed under the command of General Edward A. Perry. The brigade did gallant service at the battles of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862; Chancellorsville, May 3-4, 1863; at Gettysburg, as detailed; at Bristow's Station, October 14, 1863, and in other engagements—Captain Fleming constantly participating. He sealed his devotion to the cause he loved so well, being killed while leading the Second Florida, in the engagement near Gaines' Farm, Virginia, June 3, 1864. He was buried in the woods on McGehee's farm, but on June 3, 1893, his brother, ex-Governor Fleming, having found the grave, had the remains disinterred and placed in Hollywood

we old veterans still think we have a right to talk, and if any of the younger generation wish to learn what fighting is, let him attend any Campfire, and get some of the men around to talk about the old times; old eyes will kindle into flashing fire, old forms, bent with age, straighten up, as first one and then another tells of the charge on such and such a battery, or a stand made behind such a fence, or how such and such a battery—as, for instance, the First Company of Howitzers at Chancellorsville—held the entire right wing of the Union army at bay for a whole day without infantry support, as Rev. Willam Dame, of Baltimore, will tell him; or get Major Robert Stiles to repeat his lecture on the Second Battle of Cold Harbor, where in eight minutes 13,000 of Grant's splendid army were killed and wounded by the ragged rebels; and the youth, if he has any manhood in him, and is not simply a second-class cigarette smoker, will become convinced that the old man is not far wrong in claim
