Source: Confederate Veteran, Vol. IX, August 1901, No. 8, page 372 Capt. Charles T. Hardman Capt. Charles T. Hardman died at his residence in Birmingham, Ala. On February 21, in his seventy-second year. He was one of the oldest residents of the city, having removed there in 1871, shortly after the site of the city had been surveyed. He was a native of Morgan County, Ga., but in his childhood his parents removed to Pike County, Ala. At the outset of the war he organized a company, of which he was chosen lieutenant, and which became Company B, of the First Regiment Alabama infant. He served with this regiment at the battle of Shiloh and in various minor engagements. Owing to severe physical disability, he was compelled to return home in June, 1862. In the autumn of that year he organized Company B, of the Sixth Alabama Calvary, and was elected captain. In this rank, he served with James H. Clanton's Brigade till the end, frequently being in command of the regiment and occasionally of the brigade. His military service was mainly in Alabama and Georgia. In 1865 the regiment fought with Steel's advance against Mobile, and with Wilson's raiders through central Alabama. Prior to this the regiment had been active between Dalton and Atlanta. After the surrender of the forces under Forrest, Capt. Hardaman went to Montgomery and was paroled. Capt. Hardman was widely known for his daring, gallantry, and skill in leading troops. Old in years and virtues, but young to the last in human love and sympathy; old in war, old in peace, but young in love and death - this old soldier of the young heart was laid away by battle-scarred comrades to sleep on death's eternal camping ground, where no sound of battle shall be heard, where they shall be no more strife.
