Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 14. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Memoranda of Thirty-Eighth Virginia infantry. (search)
oseph R. Cabell; Company H, Captain Joseph Terry; Company K, Captain George K. Griggs, all of Pittsylvania county; Company F, Captain Jed Carter, of Halifax; Company G, Captain W. Towns, of Mecklenburg; and Company I, Captain Fields, with Colonel E. C. Edmonds, of Fauquier; Lieutenant Colonel P. B. Whittle, of Georgia, and Major J. C. Carrington, of Pittsylvania, left Camp Lee at Richmond, Virginia, July 6th, 1861, for Winchester, Virginia. On its arrival there, placed in the brigade of General his guns, but only for a moment; having no reinforcement, and the enemy in strong force on our left and rear, the few surviving men cut their way back. The loss was irreparable to the regiment as well as division; the noble and beloved Colonel E. C. Edmonds killed; Lieutenant-Colonel Whittle, who had lost an arm at Malvern Hill, was seriously wounded in thigh; Captain Towns killed, and all the other company officers more or less seriously wounded. Never did men more than these on that day.
