Scott:

According to the Broadfoot Publishing website:

"New♦ Wyckoff, Mac A History of the Second South Carolina Infantry: 1861-65. 651 pages,
photos, maps, illustrations, index. The unit history is followed by a roster of the troops in the 2nd South
Carolina Infantry with detailed information on each soldier, including a transcription of his service record.
The roster is alphabetical for easy use. $45"

Re: The Lancaster Invincibles

Thanks. This is some really excellent info. The reason I ask about the Lancaster Invincibles is that I learned that my great, great grandfather, Thomas Lake Moore, fought with them.

Re: The Lancaster Invincibles

When I get home I will pull out my book, "Lancaster County Confederates" which has their roster and newspaper articles. I had a ggg grandfather and several uncles in the unit. They arrived on Morris Island during the Firing on Fort Sumter.

Re: The Lancaster Invincibles

Sir, this book titled "History of Kershaw's Brigade, by D. Augustus Dickert, tells of the merging of the Second, Third, Seventh, Eighth, Fifteenth, and Twentieth regiments and the Third Battalion of Second South Carolina Volunteer Infantry into brigade under the command of General Joseph Brevard Kershaw, McLaws' Division, Longstreet's Corps, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
Perhaps this authors memories will bring you more in touch to the man.., your gggrandfather.
