Archibald Edwards – [Plot C-93; Unreadable] ADOPTED

Archibald_Edwards(sm)

A look at the known record that exists shows Archibald Edwards enlisted in the 21^st Virginia at Buckingham County Court House, Virginia on April 1^st, 1864 "for the period of the War." His next known record is July 10^th of that same year. The time in between is assumed to have been taken up by training to be a soldier and his march out of Virginia as a part of General Jubal Early's strike into Maryland.

We know from other sources that Early and his troops moved across the Potomac into Winchester on July 2^nd. The 21^st Virginia, Co. E, was with them. On July 5^th, in order to avoid Sigel's forces, General Early moved his troops across the Potomac at Shepardstown. Washington was growing concerned and issued orders for reinforcements.

On July 6^th, the Confederates easily captured Hagerstown and demanded $20,000 in reparation for "Black Jack" Hunter's raids on the Valley in June. On July 7^th, skirmishing breaks out in several areas around Middletown. As dawn breaks on the 9^th, Early and his troops (including Private Edwards) are at the Monacacy River, face to face with Gen. Lew Wallace and a force of over 6,000 Federals.

It has now been only 100 days since citizen Edwards' became Private Edwards. 100 Days and now his first time to really "see the elephant." In a series of well planned attacks against hastily drawn-up Union forces, the Union troops are routed and withdraw as quickly are they arrive, suffering losses of nearly 2,000 (most of them “missing”). The Confederates have casualties of only 700.

One of those 700 is Private Archibald Edwards. As Early hurries on towards Washington, a badly wounded Edwards is captured by the Federals who now regain the field with the main Confederate body now East of them. Archibald Edwards, a military man of 101 days, is taken to a Union Field Hospital in Frederick on the 10^th of July with a musket wound of the right arm.

The next day his right arm was amputated, but like so many, his health did not improve. On July 25^th he was transferred to the West Building of the Union’s General Hospital, in Baltimore, Maryland. Eleven days later, on day 127 of his military service, Private Archibald Edwards is dead.

The report reads "died from inflammation of the bowels and the amputation of right arm. He had no personal affects. Dated August 6, 1864." The following day, Private Edwards was buried on “Confederate Hill,” Loudon Park Cemetery in Baltimore.

While his military service was short, his commitment wasn't. He paid the full price. What makes this even more sorrowful is the other notation on his death record - Private Archibald Edwards, Co. E, 21st Virginia Infantry, was only 14 the day he died.
