Spectacular and Rare CDV of Confederate Artillery General William
Pendleton. "William Nelson Pendleton (December 26, 1809 – January 15, 1883) was
an American teacher, Episcopal priest, and soldier. He served as a Confederate general
during the American Civil War, noted for his position as Gen. Robert E. Lee's chief of
artillery for most of the conflict. After the war Pendleton returned to the priesthood and
became a religious writer. When the American Civil War commenced in 1861, Pendleton
chose to follow the Confederate cause. On March 16 he entered the Regular Confederate
Artillery with the rank of captain, and on May 1 he was elected captain in the Virginia
Artillery. He commanded a four-gun battery called the Rockbridge Artillery, naming his
guns "Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John" after the Gospel writers.[8] On July 2 Pendleton
participated in the minor Battle of Falling Waters, where "he and his battery performed
capably."[9] On July 13 Pendleton was promoted to colonel and began serving as chief of
artillery for Brig. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's command during the First Battle of Bull Run
on July 21. He was wounded in this fight, injured in an ear and his back. Beginning in July
1861 Pendleton lead the artillery of the Confederate Army of the Potomac, and on March
14, 1862, he continued in this role after the renaming to the Army of Northern Virginia. On
March 26 he was promoted to brigadier general.[10] On July 3 Pendleton was again
wounded when a mule from his artillery kicked him in the leg and possibly breaking one
of his bones there.[9] His most noted Civil War performance occurred during the 1862
Maryland Campaign. On the evening September 19 Lee gave Pendleton command of the
rearguard infantry following the Battle of Shepherdstown, ordering him to hold the
Potomac River crossings until the morning. Despite a commanding position from which
to defend the fords, "Pendleton lost track of his forces and lost control of the situation."
Awaking Lee after midnight, he frantically reported his position lost and all of his guns
captured. This turned out to be a highly exaggerated and hasty account, as he lost only
four guns, but he had pulled out the infantry "without sufficient cause." Richmond
newspapers viciously reported on this incident for the remainder of the war, and
unflattering rumors and jokes were spread by his own soldiers and throughout the army.
At least one military court of inquiry was held to investigate Pendleton's actions at
Shepherdstown. Pendleton served with the Army of Northern Virginia for the rest of the
conflict, taking part in the 1863 and 1864 major campaigns of the Eastern Theater.
However during the final two years of the war, Pendleton's role was mostly administrative,
and his active command was only of the reserve ordnance. Throughout the war, he
continues in his religious calling, always preaching to his men. Pendleton surrendered
with Lee's army at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, and was paroled from there
and returned home." First image of this Rare General I have ever seen.
