The Captain Harvey Alexander Wallace Civil War manuscript
collection is a virtual window in time that allows the reader to
step through and share the lives of a Confederate soldier, his
family, and extended family through the course of the entire war.
The collection gives a complete story that places the reader there
with Captain Wallace and his family, and beside the soldiers who
served with him from South Carolina and Texas. The story unfolds as
if on a movie screen, with the characters recording their thoughts,
feelings, and emotions as if they were speaking directly to the
reader. Wallace's letters, journals, and diary relate a nearly
complete history of the infantry company that he recruited,
trained, and led after his relocation to Texas from York District,
South Carolina. As a result, Wallace's Company-H, 19th Texas
Infantry, Walker's Texas Division, can be considered one of the
most chronicled Texas infantry units of the Trans-Mississippi.
Captain Wallace also records his service with the Catawba Light
Infantry of York District, South Carolina, and the history of its
early service as Company-H, 5th South Carolina Infantry. The
breadth of the collection and depth of personal content give this
work its uniqueness. The surviving transcribed manuscripts consist
of 109 personal letters, three journals, a prison diary, a
descriptive muster roll, and a casualty list. Numerous editorial
footnotes provide additional background, biographical, and
genealogical information. Photographs, muster rolls, an extensive
bibliography, and a name index are also included. Stephen Skelton
is a research historian and historical consultant specializing in
local, Texas, U. S. military, and U. S. Civil War history. Steve is
a Texas Civil War unit consultant with the University of
Tennessee's Civil War Units File Project and has consulted on
various research, writing, and genealogical projects. He also has
extensive experience in historic site research and investigation,
as well as artifact recovery and preservation.
