Capt Carey F Grimes, Portsmouth Light Artillery CSA. Defender of Gosport veteran of the seven days campaign and Malvern Hill..unlimbered his battalion of three companies, four guns each above Pipers Farm on the Hagerstown Turnpike posted to drive the enemy back. While directing his batteries fire he was shot from his horse; to die on the field of honor 17 Sep 1862 Sharpsburg, MD.
Such is my family's heritage in the War of Nothern Aggression ; American history past should never be abandoned.
almost 23,000 casualities, in one day of combat. The bloodiest day in United States history. The odd thing was the Union only took half a mile of ground in the north and center parts of the field and one mile in the south. They paid for it in blood.
@historyfan1000 You guys deserved to get pummeled. What kind of yahoos or cowboy powder burners are you? Vincent's brigade? Birney's division?
