In this fascinating and detailed civil war biography we find that Jenkins and his men played an important role from First Manassas to the Wilderness. After his brilliant performance at the Battle of Seven Pines, he was promoted to Brigadier General on Lee's recommendation. Jenkins quickly became the protege of his controversial corps commander, James Longstreet, a relationship that may have damaged Jenkins' chances for further promotion. Based largely on the words of eyewitnesses (as taken from unpublished memoirs, journals, newspaper accounts and official war records) this story is told in the context of the military movements of Lee's army and Longstreet's First Corps. The Struck Eagle is Civil War history at it's best and most insightful! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Customer Comments Average Customer Review: Number of Reviews: 2 Rick ([email protected]) from Canberra, Australia , July 2, 1998 A Great Battle History of a Civil War Unit This book was a delight to read and the author, James Baldwin, went to great depths to research his subject matter. The biography of Brigadier General Micah Jenkins went hand in hand with the story of the 5th South Carolina Volunteers and the Palmetto Sharpshooters. I found that the maps provided were detailed and easy to follow and helped the reader to follow the narrative of that particular event or action the author was describing. I did notice that there was a different point of view as to who was at fault for the Confederate failure during the battle of Lookout Mountain fought during October 28-29 1863. In this book the author places the blame upon Brigadier General Evander M. Law, (pages 233-241). In Wiley Sword's account of this incident in his book 'Mountains Touched with Fire' (pages 134-144), he places the blame more towards Micah Jenkins. But either way, he was a gifted leader and a brave man and one who shared a similar fate to many leaders who lead from the front during the Civil War. Overall a well researched and presented book covering the many battles of this man and these units. [email protected] from Wilmington, NC , September 3, 1997 Since a summary of the book is provided by the editor I will simply state that out of the more than 20 books I've read on various Confederate Generals and Brigades, The Struck Eagle towers over the competition. Being a native South Carolinian one might think my view biased. While this may be true it does not take away from the fact that this is an excellent portrayal of Micah and his Palmetto Sharpshooters. Every chapter on specific battles is accompanied by precise maps on the movements of Jenkin's Brigade. It also gives on-hand accounts of the turbulence that existed in the great state of SC in 1860, leading to our secession. By far the best biography and history I have ever read!

The 1880 census is only a 1% sample of the actual census. It does not contain the other 99%.

I didn't get any responses to my message on AUGUSTUS PACE living in York Co.SC in 1898. The name is unusual for a Pace, I think. He had been born in Mecklenburg Co., NC, and was the son of YOUNG PACE. Other siblings left back in Mecklenburg were Charles, Abner, Mary, Fannie or Mittie, and possibly a John. I think this family is tied to my ABNER PACE, b. 1821, and from Guilford Co., NC and Rowan Co. NC. Does anyone know if there were any Paces at all in the county in SC in 1895-1900?
