Major General James Lawson Kemper

The 24th Virginia Infantry in the Civil War

The 24th Virginia Field Hospital was part of the 24th Virginia Infantry Regiment which was assembled in June, 1861, with men from Floyd, Franklin, Carroll, Giles, Pulaski, Mercer, and Henry Counties. The regiment served under Early at First Manassas, then was assigned to Early's, Kemper's, W.R. Terry's Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. The 24th participated in the campaigns of the army from Williamsburg to Gettysburg except when it was detached with Longstreet. Later it was involved in engagements at Plymouth and Drewry's Bluff, the Petersburg siege north of the James River, and the Appomattox operations. The regiment contained 740 men in April, 1862, and reported 189 casualties at Williamsburg and 107 at Seven Pines. It lost 4 killed, 61 wounded, and 14 missing at Frayser's Farm, had 8 wounded at Fredericksburg, and had forty percent of its 395 engaged at Gettysburg disabled. Many were lost at Sayler's Creek, and no officers and 22 men surrendered on April 9, 1865
