From the Introduction...The writer of the following sketch does not attempt, in the space assigned him, to give a complete history of the various commands of Carolinians, who for four years did gallant and noble service in the armies of the Confederacy. A faithful record of their names alone would fill the pages of a volume, and to write a history of their marches and battles, their wounds and suffering, their willing sacrifices, and their patient endurance, would demand more accurate knowledge, more time and more ability than the author of this sketch can command. He trusts that in the brief history which follows he has been able to show that South Carolina did her duty to herself and to the Southern Confederacy, and did it nobly.

Collapsar Classics brings 19th and early 20th century books to modern audiences in a fresh and convenient way. Each book is approximately 15,000 words and is presented in a phone-sized 4 x 6" paperback format. Each Collapsar Classic includes a section called "Condensed Matter" (a play on front matter). Much like the Reader's Digest Condensed Books that were popular many decades ago, the Condensed Matters is meant to give you the best parts of the original in a much smaller space.The Civil War, America's darkest chapter, was a bloody and tragic affair. It's easy to get caught up in the grand narratives of famous battles, but the human stories that make up the war are often overlooked. *Confederate Military History* brings those human stories to life, focusing on the valor and sacrifice of the Southern states, their battles, and the men who led them. This volume, *South Carolina*, offers a riveting account of the Palmetto State's contribution to the Confederate cause, from the first shots fired on Fort Sumter to the final surrender. You'll encounter intimate descriptions of individual heroism and hardship, from the fierce fighting at Seven Pines and Chickamauga to the grueling siege of Charleston, all detailed with accuracy and empathy. Brigadier General Ellison Capers, a distinguished soldier and later Episcopal bishop, shares insights, gleaned from his own service, that are unique to this work, and draws upon primary sources including official reports, war records, and private journals to build a detailed and compelling narrative. Whether you are a student of military history, a descendant of a Confederate soldier, or a curious reader, this volume will immerse you in the trials, sacrifices, and indomitable spirit of the men of South Carolina, and provide you with a deeply personal perspective on the Civil War's lasting impact.
