Can any anyone tell me which company of the 48th Georgia had it's Flag Captured at Gettyburg?
James Wiley of the 59th NY Inf., Company B, 28 years old. Died 07 Feb 1865 was awarded the Medal of Honor for capturing the flag of the 48th Georgia regiment on the third day of fighting at Gettysburg. He captured the flag within musket range of "The Angle" in Pickett's Charge
He was captured later and died at Andersonville.
I had Wiley ancestors that fought for the 14th Georgia (Co. G) and was trying to see if there was a connection.
Any info is greatly appreciated!
