Law", 3pp. 8vo., South Carolina, Mar. 14, 1889 to Gen. Marcus J. Wright, then compiling the official records of the Civil War. In part: "...I have not really be able to look through the mass of papers that have lain neglected for years...I have only got the reports of [the] Texas brigade complete. I know I have my own and [Gen. Henry L.] Benning's somewhere - I shall search and find them...I have full reports of Gettysburg, but I suppose these will be of no service to you now. If they are, let me know...". Very good. Law's Alabama Brigade fought with distinction at Antietam. At the battle of Gettysburg, Law's brigade participated in the unsuccessful assault on the Union left on July 2, 1863, in Little Round Top and Devil's Den.  $500 - 700
