Southern Historical Society Papers

These came up in the search, were read, and are not Charleston war articles. They are listed so that the search can be checked.

• Torpedoes — Volume 3 (1877), page 255. Rains's paper is a history of the Confederate torpedo service as a whole, written from the James river. Charleston is named twice in thirteen pages and no Charleston operation is described. The Charleston torpedo service is the subject of Glassell's paper in volume 4 and Beauregard's in volume 5, both of which are here.
• The Career of Wise's Brigade — Volume 25 (1897), page 3. An address on a Virginia brigade. It reports to Beauregard at Charleston in passing and fights nowhere near it; the subject is the brigade, not the city.
• Papers of Hon. John A. Campbell, 1861-1865 — Volume 42 (1917), page 3. Campbell's papers are a first-rate source on the Fort Sumter negotiations of March and April 1861, but the seventy-seven pages are a Washington and Richmond record of the secession crisis and the Hampton Roads conference. Publishing them whole would not make them a Charleston article, and publishing the Sumter passages alone would misrepresent the document.
• The Battle of Honey Hill — Volume 13 (1885), page 355. Honey Hill was fought at Grahamville, fifty miles from Charleston, to hold the Charleston and Savannah railroad. The troops came from the Charleston garrisons, which is why General Jones's account of the coast defence is here; the battle itself is not a Charleston action.
• Heroes of Honey Hill — Volume 26 (1898), page 232. As above: the field artillery at Grahamville, not at Charleston.
