South Carolina's Antebellum Militia

Abstract

This publication draws on many sources to describe the organization of the militia in both words and maps and to list volunteer companies. In addition, the appendix holds a transcription of two pages of the Confederate Historian's rolls of South Carolina volunteers in the Confederate States Provisional Army. The publication is produced as a reference tool. Researchers may also wish to consult Accounts Audited for Revolutionary War Service and Stub entries to Indents (S.C. Department of Archives and History); Revolutionary War Pension Applications (National Archives and Records Administration); Wilmot Gibbes Dessasure, "List of Revolutionary Officers, 1886"; Murtie June Clark, "Colonial Soldiers of the South 1732-1774"; and Jean Martin Flynn, "The Militia in Antebellum South Carolina Society."
