Not an expert on this subject, but I believe Orr's Rifles was officially known as 1st SC (Orr's) Regiment of Rifles. It consisted of 2 or 3 companies from Pickens District, 3 or so from Anderson District, 1 from Abbeville and maybe one from Marion District. Each company had about 100 men and the regiment had 10 companies, or about 1,000 total. It was organized by James Lawrence Orr of Anderson, a politician. He was elected Colonel of the regiment, but resigned soon afterward in order to serve in the Confederate senate. His replacement was Abbeville attorney, J.Foster Marshall, who had experience having served in the Mexican War. Marshall was killed at Second Manassas. The uniforms were indeed grand, especially at the beginning. They spent their first winter at Sullivan's Island and were teased by other regiments for their parades and entertaining the ladies. Many of them went into Charleston and had their pictures made by the ambrotype process. I have a photo thus made of a 2-great uncle. Their hat was turned up on the left side (although the ambrotype reverses the image). The statue in front of the Anderson Courthouse depicts a soldier of Orr's Regiment. Orr's Rifles became one of the most famous in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, and its survivors were at Appomattox.
