This narrative of the Civil War career of Horry County native Jeremiah Smith,
told by his grandson, is far more than a memoir of one man's adventures in the
service of the Confederacy. Jeremiah was a member of Gary's Brigade, 7th South
Carolina Cavalry, a unit which played a crucial role in the defense of Richmond
and covered the retreat to Appomattox in the final days of the war. Although
motivated by personal recollections, this work is actually a scholarly account
of military operations north of the James River in 1864 and 1865, supplemented
by detailed maps which show places and battles referred to in the text. It
relies heavily on firsthand written accounts by several officers of the 7th S.C.
Cavalry - Col. A.C. Haskell, Maj. Edward M. Boykin, and Lt. William G. Hinson -
which relate to the movements and engagements of the units in which Jeremiah
served. Full of personalities and events familiar to all students of the Civil
War and South Carolina, this book may serve as an informative supplement to the
historian's existing knowledge about the campaign in Virginia or as an
interesting and moving introduction to the last gallant months of the Army of
Northern Virginia as seen by its soldiers.
