1st SC Cavalry Miscellany


the Flag of Company F

Company F

The flag image is based on one that Bright Burrell sketched and sent to his
wife. The colors are based on the theory that  the heart had to be red and
the rest is based on the Bonnie Blue Flag colors.

There are over 50 letters of correspondence between Private Bright Burrell and his wife preserved in a private collection.  The sketch of this flag was among them.

1898 Roll Book

Rediscovered at the Richland County Library in July of 2012, this 1898 Ledger was designed to fill in missing information from earlier compilations of Confederate soldier rosters.

Although the book is to fragile to be handled by the public, the Richland library has made the effort to digitize the book for online access here:
