Reseña del libro "Historical Sketch And Roster Of The South Carolina Hampton's Legion (en Inglés)"

In April 1861, Confederate President Jefferson Davis wanted to raise a "legion of honor". Wade Hampton was authorized to create a legion, which would include six companies of infantry, four companies of cavalry, and a company of artillery. By May 1861, Hampton had completed the organizing of the legion and it became known as Hampton Legion, South Carolina. After the initial enlistment of one year, Hampton Legion separated into different units.The infantry battalion kept the name Infantry Battalion, Hampton Legion, South Carolina Volunteers. It received more companies and by November 1862 it became the Infantry Regiment, Hampton Legion. This unit was active at First Manassas and later was assigned to W. Hampton's, Hood's, and Jenkins' Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. It was involved in various conflicts from Seven Pines to Sharpsburg, moved to North Carolina, then served with Longstreet at Chickamauga and Knoxville. In May, 1864, the unit was reorganized, mounted, and called the Hampton Legion Cavalry and Mounted Infantry. The Hampton Legion Mounted Infantry was paroled at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia on April 9, 1865.Confederate South Carolina's finest men made up Hampton's Legion.
