Archer's Brigade in the American Civil War
A collection of regiments from Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Maryland, Archer's Brigade formed a very substantial part of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. They fought from First Manassas through to Appomattox and were at the centre of each major battle in which they participated from Hill's divisional march out of Harper's Ferry to Antietam, amongst the first troops on the first day at Gettysburg; the centre of the Confederate attack on the third day at Gettysburg towards the Union lines as a part of the Pickett, Pettigrew and Trimble assault; the fighting in the Wilderness and Spotsylvania through to the siege of Petersburg and the final campaign to the surrender at Appomattox.
