Ask A Gettysburg Guide #99- Scales' Brigade with LBG Chris Army & Gettysnerd Dwayne

Addressing Gettysburg

LBG Chris Army is joined by hater-turned-Patron Dwayne. Som eknow him as "McNair." Dwayne has done extensive research on Scales' Brigade and asked if he could sit in on an Ask A Guide. We love to include our Patrons in whatever they can contribute to, so, of course, I said yes.

Scales Brigade (from its Brigade Plaque):

C. S. A. Army of Northern Virginia Hills Corps Pender’s Division Scales’s Brigade

13th 16th 22nd 34th 38th North Carolina Infantry

July 1. Crossed Willoughby Run about 3.30 P. M. relieving Heth’s line and advancing with left flank on Chambersburg Pike took part in the struggle until it ended. When the Union forces made their final stand on Seminary Ridge the Brigade charged and aided in dislodging them but suffered heavy losses. Gen. A. M. Scales was wounded and all the field officers but one were killed or wounded.

July 2. In position near here with skirmishers out in front and on flank.

July 3. In Longstreet’s assault the Brigade supported the right wing of Pettigrew’s Division. With few officers to lead them the men advanced in good order through a storm of shot and shell and when the front line neared the Union works they pushed forward to aid it in the final struggle and were among the last to retire.

July 4. After night withdrew and began the march to Hagerstown.

Present about 1250 Killed 102 Wounded 381 Missing 116 Total 599
