Pegram Battalion Association.

This Battalion of Artillery was commanded during the war by Colonel William Johnson Pegram, who fell mortally wounded at Five Forks, April 1st, 1865. Upon its battle-flag can be inscribed sixty-four engagements, and the battalion was truly, as General Heth's men said, ‘the fighting battalion!’ The old war battalion flag and the battle flag of Crenshaw Battery were carried by comrades [279] Goolsby and Ferneyhough, and created great enthusiasm along the line of march. These flags were also used as escort to General Joseph E. Johnston when he marched to the monument to unveil the statue of General Lee. Major T. A.
