Free Downloads Wandering To Glory: Confederate Veterans Remember Evans's Brigade
In Wandering to Glory DeWitt Boyd Stone, Jr., pieces together the words of officers and soldiers in an imaginative, nontraditional brigade history of one of the Confederacy's most active combat troops. Stone blends firsthand accounts from a variety of sources to tell the colorful story of Brigadier General Nathan George Shanks Evans and his Tramp Brigade. An independent South Carolina unit never permanently attached to a particular army, Evans's Brigade traveled widely, making its way from one frontline to another and earning its nickname. Stone profiles the unit's accomplished but egotistical commander, who gained fame as a hero at the First Battle of Manassas, and traces its impressive war record, which began at Second Manassas and included its moment of glory at ground zero during the Battle of the Crater, at Petersburg, Virginia. Nearly ten percent of all South Carolinians who fought in the Confederate army were members of Evan's Brigade, which included South Carolina's 17th, 18th, 22nd, and 23rd Regiments, the Macbeth Light Artillery, and the infantry companies of the Holcombe Legion.

Wandering to Glory was what I have been seeking... information on Evans "Tramp" Brigade. The stories written by the actual troops were very useful and painted a very good picture of what this General and his companies did during the Civil War as well as what went on between the General and his troops as well as his commanding officers.Very little information on this General and this brigade can be found on the web. This book was very well researched and written.
Detailed info about the activities of the troops I was looking for, the SC 17th Infantry, Company F.
