1st South Carolina Cavalry: Miscellany
Odds and ends that belong with the regiment but not on any one page.
On This Page
The Flag of Company F
The flag image is based on one that Pvt. Bright Burrell of Company F sketched and sent to his wife. The colors are based on the theory that the heart had to be red; the rest follows the colors of the Bonnie Blue Flag.
More than 50 letters between Private Burrell and his wife survive in a private collection. The sketch of this flag was among them.
Flag image courtesy of Charles and John Robbins and of Ed Crawford, all descendants of Pvt. Bright Burrell.
A Confederate Cavalry Saber
Confederate Rolls of South Carolina
Rediscovered at the Richland County Library in July 2012, this 1898 ledger was made to fill in missing information from earlier compilations of Confederate soldier rosters.
The book is too fragile to be handled by the public, so the Richland Library has digitized it: Walker Local and Family History Center Digital Collection.
Camp Johnson
The camp at Lightwood Knot Springs, near Columbia, where many men of the regiment enlisted in 1861, now has its own page: Camp Johnson.
