"A History of the 2nd South Carolina Infantry: 1861-65" by Mac Wyckoff (Sergeant Kirkland's Museum and Historical Society, Inc., 1994, 278 pages), is a vivid and stirring account of this hard fighting regiment that fought in the Army of Northern Virginia in General Joseph Kershaw's Brigade. Mr. Wyckoff tells the history of the 2nd South Carolina in a fascinating and dramatic hsitory that endured the hardships of war. The regiment fought in most of the Army of Northern Virginia's battles against the Army of the Potomac and in 1864 transferred to the western theater of the war with General James Longstreet's Corps fighting in Georgia and Eastern Tennessee. Not only does Mr. Wyckoff give the history of the regiment but gives many accounts of the personal lives of the soldiers in the 2nd South Carolina, and a day by day account of the regiment. The regiment first saw action at First Manassas (Bull Run) and fought in their last battle in Greensboro. In every battle, the regiment was in the thick of the action.This book compliments Mr. Wyckoff's book "A History of the Third South Carolina Infantry 1861-1865".
