No problem. My mom grew up in Pickens County and my Dad grew up on the Isle of Palms near Charleston, so SC history is in my blood. I remember Joe Smotherman talking about a concept much like the TBM back in '01. Glad to see someone putting the idea into action.

Will: Do you happen to have an 1861-1865 map with the SC congressional district boundaries? Thanks, Walt

Brian: Thanks. Since I live in SC now, I figured that I might at least get some more detail on how well Confederate conscription worked here. The system was administered with the congressional districts being the basic administrative units. South Carolinian, John Smith Preston, was the SC state commandant of conscription and was HQ'd at the conscription camp at Columbia until he became the CS conscription bureau commander in the Summer of 1863 and moved to Richmond. He was a very sharp guy. Walt.

Pete: Thanks for the maps. It looks like my part of the state (the Orangeburg/Clarenden border) has been thoroughly gerrymandered over the years. I recently got a hold of Michael Stauffer's South Carolina's Antebellum Militia. It's full of maps. It also appears that SC officially recognized and supported it's volunteer militia companies to a much greater extent than did North Carolina. Walt Hilderman

Walt,
We need some research from that Militia Book... specifically the uniforms and weapons of the companies that made up the South Carolina Volunteer Regiments in April 1861. One that we've already noted is Company B, Snd SC the "Butler Guards" form Greenville. Any time you can spend digging and transposing info is greatly appreciated.

Pete: The "book" is more of a booklet; only 28 pages. It lists the Butler Guards as having been formed on Dec. 19, 1855 in the Greenville District and being in the 1st Division, 1st Brigade, 3rd Regiment. There is a Company of Military Historians illustration shown for the 1851-1861 time period, but it is of the 1st Artillery Regiment, SC Militia. You might draw some conclusions about what the infantry uniforms looked like from the picture, especially for enlisted men. I can copy it (it's in black and white) and mail it to you if you like. I got the book on Amazon. They still have two left. It has some decent footnote sources listed which I can copy as well. There is no uniform and equipment info other than the few illustrations. Walt

Thanks Walt,
I was able to find the book through the SC Department of Archives History. I got a copy on the way.
