This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1st Regiment, South Carolina Cavalry, also known as Hampton's Cavalry Brigade, was organized June 25, 1862, using as its nucleus the 1st South Carolina Cavalry Battalion which had been organized October, 1861. Upon being mustered into Confederate service the First South Carolina Cavalry was assigned to duty in the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It served that command until late 1862. Ordered north, the unit then saw service in the Army of Northern Virginia. It served in that Army until March 18, 1864. Returned to South Carolina, the regiment rejoined the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, serving in that command until the spring of 1865. It then joined the Army of Tennessee, serving in that Army for the duration of the War.Though the 1st Regiment was part of the surrender of the Army of Tennessee on April 26, 1865 at Greensboro, North Carolina is was most likely not present.The Movie, "The Outlaw Josey Wells" staring Clint Eastwood, and the Book, "Manse" by Wilton Earle are based on the life of Manson, Sherrill Jolly, Sergeant in Company F of this regiment. During The Civil War, Manse Jolly served as a Confederate Scout in The Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland and Tennessee. But it was not until The War ended and he returned to his farm in the Anderson District of South Carolina that he became famous as a Hero of The Confederacy -- and Infamous as an Outlaw.MANSE is a story of struggle and intrigue, corruption and brutality, love and honor -- and one man's inexorable path from battlefield horrors to trauma induced madness. Get the true story here. Manse Jolly captures our hearts because he was not the son of a Plantation, and did not live off the backs of slaves. He was a small farmer with 400 acres, who worked hard, lived life, and saw it come crashing down when the Union armies came marching South. Manse Jolly lived his life and loved South Carolina. He defended it, and he honored his southern roots all of his life.
