J. M. Lewis, of Macon, Ga., writes: "Will you please give me the information or procure it for me? On May 12, 1864, at Spottsylvania C. H., when General Hancock broke the Confederate lines, General Gordon made a countercharge and retook most of the works that had been captured by General Hancock's forces. General Gordon reported that he would have retaken all of the lost ground, but his line was too short. Now I would like to know what Confederate brigades occupied that ground before Hancock's charge." > > E. C. Miller, of Hinesville, Liberty County, Ga., desires information of the service rendered the Confederate States by Maj. E. W. Solomons, of Screven County, Ga., who was major of commissary in Gen. George P. Harrison's brigade of Georgia troops. This information is given to assist an old and needy widow in securing a pension. Major Solomons was an old man, but entered the service during the first of the war, and afterwards served in government positions. [The Confederate "War Records" as published by the United States government report "Edward Solomons" with the rank indicated above in Georgia State Troops in 1861 and disbanded in 1862.] > > > > > ==== GACRAWFO Mailing List ==== > ".... people will forget what you said ... .... people will forget what > you did ... .... but people will never forget how you made them feel > ..." > >
