CSA #1c Olive Green, Stone 1, 4 margins tied by neat blue COLUMBIA.S.C. cds on neat fresh white commercial cover addressed to "Miss Rosa Pringle via Georgetown, North Santee, So Ca"., one of the Pringle daughters of a wealthy rice planting family

Richard N. Côté wrote a book: Mary's World: Love, War, and Family Ties in Nineteenth-century Charleston about the Pringle family, of whom Rosa was one of the daughters. Born to affluence and opportunity in the South's Golden Age, Mary Motte Alston Pringle (1803-1884) represented the epitome of Southern white womanhood. The book is drawn directly from over 2,500 pages of Mary's handwritten letters, journals and diaries, Her husband was a wealthy rice planter who owned 4 plantations and 337 slaves. Her 13 children included 2 Harvard scholars, 7 world travelers, 3 socialite daughters, a U.S. Navy war hero, 6 Confederate soldiers, one possible Union collaborator, a Confederate firebrand trapped in the North, an expatriate bon vivant in France, and 2 adventuresome California pioneers. Mary's World illuminates in lavish detail the world and psyche of this wealthy, well-educated, well-intentioned woman and her family in the antebellum South.

He returned to his law practice, but when the first battles did not end the conflict, Paxton heeded the call for more troops by volunteering again in September 1861. He was in Corinth, Miss. during this time. His complete bio may be found online.

In September 1861, Georgia Congressman David J. Bailey established Camp Bailey with the permission of Governor Joseph E. Brown.

The actual location of this site is not known today, but is believed to be under the Owens Corning Plant. Bailey recruited men of Campbell and Carroll Counties along the Chattahoochee River for the Confederacy. Company K was joined at Camp Bailey by ten other Companies that were organized from Georgia counties. On December 16, 1861, the 30th Georgia moved to Griswoldsville in Jones County, Georgia. By the 23rd, it was encamped just below Savannah, Georgia. The 30th Georgia was involved in several engagements near Savannah.

Excellent letter saying, in part, “anxious to hear from you & David particularly having yesterday noticed his name among the list of wounded in Jackson’s late fight near Winchester. I had heard nothing  from him nor Robt. Since the fight until then. David I noticed was sent to the Gen. Hospital at Staunton. ..If either or both have fallen it will be consoling to know that they fell in a glorious cause & in the hardest contested battle ever fought on this continent. I have always expected that David would be either killed or wounded if he ever got into a fight. I believe him to be as gallant a boy as ever lived. I understand that Jackson has fought them again recently – attacked them unexpectedly in their camp & routed them… Horse Foot Dragoons captured their wagons & buggage & run them clean out. My information comes through a dispatch sent yesterday to Gen. Ewell. I think one more genl. Engagement at Fredericksburg will close the war.”  There is a David W. Garrett from Beford County who was wounded in late March of 1862 who became one of the Immortal 600 - possibly the David in the letter. Worth further research. $500.
