History


Richardson Guards: CAPT. C H AXSON
The company was accepted in state service at Charlestion, Charleston District, South Carolina, under the command of Captain J Symon, on 11 January, 1861, and D F Richardson was appointed captain on 1 March, 1861. The company was mustered in Confederate service at Charleston, Charleston District, South Carolina, by Second Lieutenant W R Bullock, Confederate States Army, on 22 April, 1861, dated 23 April, 1861, and Captain D F Richardson resigned on 22 April, 1861. First Lieutenant C H Axson was appointed captain at Charleston, Charleston District, South Carolina, the same day and was ordered to proceed by the Northeastern Railroad to Richmond, Virginia, in the evening on 23 April, 1861, and in the morning on 24 April, 1861.

Its members were recruited in the counties of Abbeville, Pickens, Anderson, and Marion. The unit was first stationed on Sullivan's Island and called by the other troops "The Pound Cake Regiment" because of its light duty. Then in April, 1862, it moved to Virginia with 1,000 men. Assigned to General Gregg's and McGowan's Brigade, it fought with the army from the Seven Days' Battles to Cold Harbor . Later the regiment endured the hardships of the Petersburg trenches and the Appomattox operations. Of the 537 engaged at Gaines' Mill , fifty-nine percent were killed, wounded or missing. The unit reported 116 casualties at Second Manassas and 170 at Fredericksburg , then lost forty-nine percent of the 233 at Chancellorsville and three percent of the 366 at Gettysburg . There were 12 killed and 81 wounded at The Wilderness , 15 killed, 36 wounded, and 44 missing at Spotsylvania , 3 killed and 34 wounded at Deep Bottom , and 9 killed and 37 wounded at Poplar Springs Church . It surrendered 9 officers and 148 men.

Congrats and welcome to the CSA.

It does seem to me however we have 2 or 3 of this unit already. ;) (as a regimental name ... now if this is a separate company of said regiment then that's cool.)
