Confederacy, (Capt.) Wm. K. Bachman, German Light Artillery. A hand written document executed in Charleston, South Carolina in 1861 by Capt Wm. K. Bachman as commander of Bachman's Company of German Light Artillery, Hampton's Legions and bears the signature of Bachman, F.-V.F. Estimate  $150 - 200. Before the close of the Civil War, this battery commander would lead his South Carolina Company as the hard fought Hampton's Legions left their mark on such battlegrounds as the Seven Days Battles, Second Manassas, South Mountain, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and at Gettysburg where as part of Hood's Division 1st Corps, Capt. Bachman's battery fought gallantly firing toward Meade's Union center in support of Pickett and Pettigrew. In the fall of 1863 Bachman's Co. of 'German Light Artillery' returned to South Carolina. Here Capt. Bachman and his brave mounted artillerists would fight out the war participating in the Carolina Campaigns with Wright's Div. Dept. of S.C., Ga. & Fla. Surely they would look back longingly to the early war days when the battery could claim possession of an abundance of such stores as were so dutifully recorded in these early war documents. $0 (Image)
