For the record, the 29th Virginia Infantry, which was part of Pickett’s Division, was pulled back at the last minute by Lee and assigned the duty of defending Richmond while the rest of the ANV moved into PA. So my gg-grandpa was not at Gettysburg... but he did fight in 13 major engagement and was only 1 of 31 members of the 29th to surrender at Appomattox with Lee in April of ‘65. Original muster roll had 771 soldiers if I remember. Almost half were casualties during the Bermuda 100 campaign in May of 1864.
"The 29th Virginia was authorized in November, 1861, and was to contain seven companies under Colonel A.C. Moore and three companies at Pound Gap. However, this organization never took place. Moore's five companies from Abingdon and companies raised in the spring of 1862 evidently made up the nine-company regiment. The men were recruited from the counties of Fayette, Raleigh, Mercer, Wise, Russell, Tazewell, Wythe, and Carroll."
