Abstract:

There are not many Confederate soldiers alive today, but Rev. Furney A. Prevatt, who lives in Robeson County and was a member of the 18th Regiment N.C.T., remembers being at Chancellorsville with Jackson and at Gettysburg with Lee. He was in Pickett's Charge on the third day of the Gettysburg fight, and was later captured at the battle of Spotsylvania Court House in May 1864.
