Heroes of the old Camden District, South Carolina, 1776-1861. an Address to the Survivors of Fairfield county, delivered at Winnsboro, S. C., September 1,1888. by Col. Edward McCrady, Jr.
It is no disparagement of the rest of the troops of the State, in the late war, to say that the Sixth, Twelfth and Seventeenth Regiments, which were raised mostly from the districts of York, Chester, Lancaster, Fairfield and Kershaw, that constituted the old Camden district at the time of the Revolution, confined to his own regiment.
It extended to the whole brigade.
This is the account of his death written to the Mercury by an officer of another regiment:
Colonel Means, of the Seventeenth South Carolina volunteers, died this morning (September 1st) of a wound received in the battle of Manassas on the 30th August.
He fell in the thickest of the fight leading his regiment in a charge.
The wound was severe, and as his gallant men pressed around him he said, Push on!
My boys, push on!
