Hi I have been following the postings on the Holtzclaw brothers of 22nd SC Inf., Co. C. Both died as a result of being held as prisoners for quite some time after Lee surrendered. We tend to forget that the war didn't end with the Confederate surrenders, especially for prisoners. Spartanburg District paid an extremely high price in the blood of young men in two companies of 22 B and 22 C. A look at a few numbers may help us to better appreciate how they suffered. 22 C --139 men and 67 ( 48 %) were casualties. 22 B --159 men and 101 (64 %) casualties. Most of those to die in 22B were killed by the explosion at the Crater, 7/30/1864, Petersburg, VA. A different experience resulted for 22C in that most of its casualties resulted from the men to die as POWs. Overall 59 men became POWs and 24 of these died as prisoners. The battle after the Crater explosion resulted in 31 POWs and 16 died as POWs. The Holtzclaw brothers (George and James) were not captured at the Crater, but were among the 17 men of 22C who remained prisoners after April 9, 1865. For those with relatives who served in the 22nd SC Infantry, I would love to add to my records and will share what I know about them. Contact me at Kenbelc@comcast.net. Ken Belcher
