Motivated by the availability of affordable real estate, Henry moved to DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, in the 1830s. There he built the plantation Land's End and became a wealthy cotton planter and slaveholder. By the time of his death, he owned 10,000 acres of land in DeSoto Parish. With his friend, William B. Means, he built an Episcopal church near his plantation in 1850. Land's End was frequented by Confederate officers during the battle of Mansfield (April 1864) and was used as a field hospital after the battle. Henry Marshall died at Land's End, July 13, 1864. In 1860 Henry Marshall was a member of the Louisiana Senate. He was a signatory of the Confederate Constitution and the Louisiana Ordinance of Secession and a delegate to the State Secession Convention (January 1861) which took Louisiana out of the Union. He was elected to the Montgomery Convention, which became the Provisional Congress, and to the First Regular Congress, but he did not run for reelection in 1863. During the war (about 1861), Henry equipped a South Carolina regiment for his cousin, Maxcy Gregg (1814-1862). Maxcy Gregg was a delegate to the South Carolina Secession Convention and a member of the committee which framed the Ordinance of Secession, December 1860. He was appointed colonel of the 1st Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers and was made brigadier-general in 1861. He was killed at Fredericksburg in 1862. In the summer of 1832, Henry Marshall married Maria Harriet Taylor (1807-1855), daughter of Mary (d. 1846) and Thomas Taylor, a South Carolina planter. This union produced three sons, Thomas T. (b. 1834 or 35), Henry Adam (called "Sonny," 1842-1863), William McIver (called "Willie," 1846-1864), and six daughters, Mary T. (1833-1861), Maria C. (called "Ria" and "La," b. 1835 or 36), Martha (called "Mattie," b. 1838), Sarah M. (called "Sadie," b. 1839?), Fannie A. (called "Pansy," d. 1869), and Emma S. (called "Patsy"). Thomas T. died at an early age; all of the daughters except Mary T. and Martha were unmarried. S. C. Furman was a medical doctor and a lieutenant in the "Pelican Rifles," which was the first unit from DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, to enter the Civil War. Henry A. Marshall served as a private in this unit which became Company D of the Second Louisiana Infantry Regiment of the Army of Northern Virginia. S. C. Furman later funded and led Company E of the Second Louisiana Cavalry, which was popularly known as "Furman's Rangers". Henry A. Marshall, a corporal in "Furman's Rangers," died of disease contracted while in military service. William M. Marshall was a private in this unit. In March of 1864, he was captured near Natchitoches before the Battle of Mansfield, and he died of smallpox in a Union prison camp. In 1858, S. C. Furman married Henry's daughter Mary T. Marshall; together, they had a daughter, Mary T. Furman (d. 1913). After the death of his wife Mary, S. C. Furman married her younger 4 MARSHALL-FURMAN FAMILY PAPERS Mss. 2740, 4042 1794-1975 LSU Libraries Special Collections sister, Mattie Marshall. This marriage produced a daughter, Maria Marshall Furman (called "Lulu") who married Paul D. Means, and two sons, Henry M. Furman (1870-1900), and Francis S. Furman (called "Frank," d. 1936). Frank attended Louisiana State University and Tulane University and became a doctor. In 1903 he married Sarah Chandler (1872-1956), the last surviving child of Judge Greene Callier Chandler and Matt Chandler. The sons of Frank and Sarah were Greene Chandler Furman (called Chandler), and Henry M. Furman ("Hal"). Both sons attended Virginia Military Institute and Louisiana State University. Chandler also attended West Point. Chandler married Martha Goddard in 1949 and practiced law in Shreveport. He became a judge and ran for State Senate in 1939. The Chandler family lived in Enterprise, Mississippi, before the Civil War. Greene Callier Chandler (d. 1905) married Martha G. Croft (called "Matt"), daughter of Mary A. Croft, and in 1859 he began to manage Mary Croft's farm. Chandler was associated with Matt's siblings, Sallie, William H. (called "Billy"), Leonard M., and Augustine T. (called "Gus," d. 1864). During the Civil War, Gus and Billy served under Chandler who was colonel of the 8th Mississippi Regiment. Before the war, Chandler practiced law in Lanterdall County, Mississippi, where he campaigned for a judgeship in 1857. In 1870, he was appointed Circuit Court Judge in Mississippi and became a trustee of the University of Mississippi. He was nominated for Congress in the first district in 1884 and was living in Washington D. C. in 1889. In 1890, he moved with his family to Johnson City, Tennessee. 5 MARSHALL-FURMAN FAMILY PAPERS Mss. 2740, 4042 1794-1975 LSU Libraries Special Collections SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Marshall-Furman Family Papers include copious personal correspondence, financial papers, legal documents, professional records, scrapbook volumes and clippings, printed books, circulars, pamphlets, literary manuscripts, artistic works, educational materials, photographs, and maps.

  • General AP Hill at Gettysburg

    General AP Hill at Gettysburg

    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Park Seminar General A.P. Hill at Gettysburg: A Study of Character and Command Matt Atkinson If not A. P. Hill, then who? May 2, 1863, Orange Plank Road, Chancellorsville, Virginia – In the darkness of the Wilderness, victory or defeat hung in the balance. The redoubtable man himself, Stonewall Jackson, had ridden out in front of his most advanced infantry line to reconnoiter the Federal position and was now returning with his staff. Nervous North Carolinians started to fire at the noises of the approaching horses. Voices cry out from the darkness, “Cease firing, you are firing into your own men!” “Who gave that order?” a muffled voice in the distance is heard to say. “It’s a lie! Pour it into them, boys!” Like chain lightning, a sudden volley of musketry flashes through the woods and the aftermath reveals Jackson struck by three bullets.1 Caught in the tempest also is one of Jackson’s division commanders, A. P. Hill. The two men had feuded for months but all that was forgotten as Hill rode to see about his commander’s welfare. “I have been trying to make the men cease firing,” said Hill as he dismounted. “Is the wound painful?” “Very painful, my arm is broken,” replied Jackson. Hill delicately removed Jackson’s gauntlets and then unhooked his sabre and sword belt. Hill then sat down on the ground and cradled Jackson’s head in his lap as he and an aide cut through the commander’s clothing to examine the wounds.
  • “Never Have I Seen Such a Charge”

    “Never Have I Seen Such a Charge”

    The Army of Northern Virginia in the Gettysburg Campaign “Never Have I Seen Such a Charge” Pender’s Light Division at Gettysburg, July 1 D. Scott Hartwig It was July 1 at Gettysburg and the battle west of town had been raging furiously since 1:30 p.m. By dint of only the hardest fighting troops of Major General Henry Heth’s and Major General Robert E. Rodes’s divisions had driven elements of the Union 1st Corps from their positions along McPherson’s Ridge, back to Seminary Ridge. Here, the bloodied Union regiments and batteries hastily organized a defense to meet the storm they all knew would soon break upon them. This was the last possible line of defense beyond the town and the high ground south of it. It had to be held as long as possible. To break this last line of Union resistance, Confederate Third Corps commander, Lieutenant General Ambrose P. Hill, committed his last reserve, the division of Major General Dorsey Pender. They were the famed Light Division of the Army of Northern Virginia, boasting a battle record from the Seven Days battles to Chancellorsville unsurpassed by any other division in the army. Arguably, it may have been the best division in Lee’s army. Certainly no organization of the army could claim more combat experience. Now, Hill would call upon his old division once more to make a desperate assault to secure victory. In many ways their charge upon Seminary Ridge would be symbolic of why the Army of Northern Virginia had enjoyed an unbroken string of victories through 1862 and 1863, and why they would meet defeat at Gettysburg.

This book attempts to give a short, simple history of South Carolina from the first settlement to the present day. Biographical sketches of rulers and leaders are arranged in close connection in order to furnish a con- tinuous historical narrative. The story of the lives of many great and good men of the state is of necessity left out; the boys and girls of South Carolina must read about them in larger books than this. Many worthy and noble women have also helped to build up and strengthen the state of South Carolina. In Colonial and Revolutionary days, and most of all during the period of the Southern Confederacy, they toiled and suffered in behalf of their people. It is not possible, however, in these brief pages to give the story of their deeds of devotion and self-sacrifice. The statements made in this book are based through- out on public records and on the original writings of those who had a share in the events and deeds herein described.

Quigley A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Professor Harry L. Watson Professor William L. Barney Professor W. Fitzhugh Brundage Professor Laura F. Edwards Professor Lloyd Kramer ©2006 Paul D. H. Quigley ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Paul D. H. Quigley Patchwork Nation: Sources of Confederate Nationalism, 1848-1865 (Under the direction of Professor Harry L. Watson) “Patchwork Nation” explores white southerners’ conceptions of nationalism during the American Civil War era. The core impetus of Confederate nationalism was the desire to preserve slavery, but my emphasis is on the broad range of intellectual, cultural, and personal sources that white southerners drew upon as they engaged the concept of nationalism in their lives. Investigating these sources pushes our understanding of Confederate nationalism in three previously neglected directions: outward, backward, and inward. White southerners conceived of Confederate nationalism in light of what they already knew about the concept. Nationalism was then enjoying a golden age in Europe, and transatlantic intellectual currents greatly influenced ideas about nationalism in the American South. Hence our turn outward. But the nationalism with which white southerners were most familiar was antebellum American nationalism, in which most of them had been enthusiastic participants. Hence our turn backward. In defining a new nationalism, they replicated many aspects of the old, in both substantive and conceptual terms. Such replication generated a persistent problem that will concern us throughout: how could the South retain the nationalism of a country from which it had voluntarily departed? Our final turn takes us inward, into the sphere of everyday life.

RADICAL POLITICS IN REVOLUTIONARY TIMES: THE SOUTH CAROLINA SECESSION CONVENTION AND EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF 1862 A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History by Eric Andrew Lager December 2008 Accepted by: Dr. Paul Anderson, Committee Chair Dr. Rod Andrew Jr. Dr. Alan Grubb Abstract This thesis examines the political culture and behavior in South Carolina during the secession crisis and first two years of the Civil War. Historians have analyzed antebellum politics in South Carolina but few recent attempts have been made to trace those issues to the larger narrative of state politics during the Civil War. I argue that serious political divisions existed in the Palmetto State during the sectional crisis over the proper method and procedure of secession. Once secession became a reality South Carolina politicians attempted to bury these differences for the sake of unity, but ultimately the pressures of war caused them to appear once again, thereby jeopardizing the harmony and unity that so many politicians in the state hoped for.
