George Burgwyn Anderson - changed to gray
About a week ago a fire raged through part of Charleston. The catastrophe inspired a generous response from a non- South Carolina regiment
From the Richmond Daily Dispatch December 19, 1861:
Liberal Contribution.
–We learn, from able authority, that the 4th North Caro-Virginia State troops, (Col. Anderson’s Regiment,) have subscribed onwards of $1,000 for the relief of the sufferers of the Charleston conflagration.
One of the good things about this 150 year old sentence is that caused me to find out about Civil War Generals in black and white with over 11,000 images.
George Burgwyn Anderson was career U.S. army until North Carolina seceded. He would be mortally wounded at Antietam.
