BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF COLONEL HARRISON.
Colonel Julien Harrison was born in

At the outbreak OF the war Colonel Julien
Harrison was mustered into the Confederate
States service as captain OF the Goochland

the rank OF major Of cavalry, and upon the
reorganization of the cavalry arm OF the
service he was made lieutenant-colonel OF
the Sixth regiment of cavalry, OF which
Colonel Field was the first colonel. In the
spring of 1862 Colonel Field was promoted
to the rank OF brigadier-genera OF infantry,
when Lieutenant Colonel Harrison was
made colonel and given command OF the
Sixth Virginia cavalry. His health fail
ing him, he resigned his commission and
for time left the service. Upon the
restoration OF his health he was reappointed
colonel of the same regiment in 1863, and
the day he joined his regiment was badly
wounded at Brandy Station. His wound
incapacitated him for further active duty
during the war.
