Gettysburg (my recurring dream I’ve told you about), my reaction at East Cavalry Field; his law profession (I come from 7 generations of attorneys. Coincidence? I’m beginning to think not.

Col Wright is the brother of my 4X great grandfather, Wm Felix Wright. I wonder if you could tell me the sources you used for this? I have never been able to track the Wright line past Wm and I’m excited to see his parents mentioned here.
Thanks again.
Anne

I was told there was an old school house on the property. While researching I also found out there was some kind of Civil War battle so I’m looking for some information about it if anyone or anything knows all know where I can locate the information it would be great thank you

One of the premier collectors of Civil War uniforms and accouterments in the country happens to be a Las Vegas attorney and friend. He has over the years accumalated a fantastic collection of Civil War era uniformery and haberdashery. One of the prized pieces in his collection is a rather well preserved cavalry captain’s frock coat. My attorney friend has through research identified this uniform as belonging to one Glen(n) Lowell(Lowe) of the 7th Georgia Cavalry. Therefore to this day a piece of live history exists with lineage to Col. Wright. Yes the 7th Georgia Cavalry was a contributor in the conflict including the actions at Trevilian Station.Just wanted to chime that data in as so often the Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolnia units get most of the attention in ANV eastern theatre cavalry lore.

I am sorry, I wanted to contact you with an information update about a past post, but couldn’t find your information. I thought you might be interested in a video featuring two Congressman, from Vermont and Texas, that just got together to speak out against Wal-Mart building on the Wilderness Battlefield in Virginia. You can check out the video on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s blog at: http://blogs.nationaltrust.org/preservationnation/?cat=88.

I don’t think I had heard of Wright before. What a character! His height kind of reminds me of how tall Wade Hampton was and how they were still good riders despite how big each of them were. These sketches are great.
Thanks for bring Wright back to life,
Chris

This is excellent. Thank you for posting.
This line: “Give ‘em hell, boys—give ‘em hell for they shot my foot!” I think is as good as Forrest’s “No man kills me and lives!”
Keep up the great work.

I haven’t written about Quebec Schoolhouse here. The best account I’ve ever seen was written by Tim Reece and appeared in an old issue of Blue & Gray magazine. I can’t recall whether Tim addressed it in his South Mountain book or not, although I tend to think not.

Perhaps it’s something I might tackle for a new article.

Eric
