The Palmetto Riflemen Composite Photo
The Palmetto Sharpshooters Camp #1428, Sons of Confederate Veterans,
of Anderson, South Carolina, has available for sale a composite photo of
133 Anderson county Confederate veterans. See list of names below.
The men pictured were members of a company known as the Palmetto Riflemen
which was originally a unit of the State Militia. The men of the company
entered Confederate States service in 1861 as Co. "B", 4th Regiment and
remained with that regiment until their original one-year enlistment expired
in 1862 at which time most of them reenlisted as Co. "C", Palmetto Sharpshooters
Regiment, organized by a special act of the Confederate Congress. The Palmetto
Riflemen company was re-formed after the war and the name carried on for
many years. Many original applications for membership in the Palmetto
Riflemen are available for inspection at the Pendleton District Historical
Commission in Pendleton, South Carolina. Descendants of a number of the
Palmetto Riflemen, including at least one grandson, are still living in
Anderson county.
In 1903 a committee of Confederate veterans of the Palmetto Riflemen
was formed to create this photo montage. After several months they succeeded
in gathering photos of 133 of the original 144 veterans and made the composite
which was presented to the Palmetto Riflemen company then in existence.
The photos are small, most are the size or a fingernail, but they are remarkably
sharp.
The copies which the Palmetto Sharpshooters Camp has for sale
were made on a color copier from what is presumed to be the original and
which is in the possession of a resident of Anderson. The copies are an
almost exact reproduction of the original.
