History of Kershaw's Brigade

History Of Kershaw's Brigade.
BY D. AUGUSTUS D1cKERT.
(9x5A. PIP. 583. Illustrated.)
Ebert H. Aull Company, New
berry, s. G. 81, postpaid.
The name of Kershaw's Brigade
of South Carolinians is familiar to
all who wore the gray and saw
hard fighting on the fields Of Vir-
GINA, in the swamps Of Carolina
and the mountains of Tennessee.
This was "the First Brigade of
the First Division of the First
Corps of the Army of Northern
Virginia." and many of its MEM
bers volunteered for service before
the first gun was fired at the Star
of the West, while its ragged reg
mental remnants laid down their
arms at Greensboro not till the I'd
of May, 1865. It's history is
history of the war, for, as will be
seen, there were few pitched bat
ties in the East that did not call
forth its valor.
The author of the book is D.
Augustus Dickert, who, at the
age of Is, ran away to fight and
surrendered as Captain in the
Third South Carolina Volunteers.
He was gallant soldier all
through, and he has written a good
book, for the broader lines of his
tory are interviewer with many
slight anecdotes and incidents that
illustratrate the temper of the
times and impart to the narrative
q local coloring. The following
is a good example of its style:
s1The writer was preparing to en-
ter school in an adjoining county.
But when on my way to school l
boarded train filled with enthu-
siasts, some tardy soldiers on their
way to join their companions and
others to see, and, if need be, tc
take old Anderson out Of his den.
Nothing could be head on the train
but war, taking of Sumpter, 'olo
Anderson and Star of the West.
Everyone was in high glee. Pal
metto cockades, brass buttons
uniforms and gaudy epaulette:
were seen in every direction
This was more than a youthful
vision could withstand; so di
rected myself toward the seat o
war instead of schools" Although
somewhat theatric, this is an &C
curate presentation of those earl,
days.
The chief merit Of Capt. Dick
ert's book is that it presents tn
gay and bright, as well as til
grave side of the Confederat
soldiers experience. 1t is full Q
anecdote and incident and repair
tee. Such quips and jests keI
the heart light and the blood war;
beneath many a tattered coat.
The student of history may wis
a more elaborate sketch. But tn
avearge man who wishes to snatc
a moment for recreation will b
repaid as he takes up this sketch
All in all, this is a hearty, CHEEKY
clean book. AS a local history
is an interesting contribution t
the chronicle of the period.
