I am looking for any/all information on Pvt Bright Burrell who was in the 1st South Carolina Cavalry Co. F. along with his brother Butler Burrell. Bright Burrell is my great- great grandfather. These are the things we do know: Butler was killed at Gettysburg on the second day of fighting; Bright found him before he died. (We have pictures of the rock that Bright hid his brother behind to further protect him from the fighting that was going on around him.); Bright's sketch of a flag is posted as the Company F flag; both men signed up at Pickens, S.C. but were actually from Rabun Co. Georgia.
What we would like to find is copies of the 50 or so letters that are reportedly in existence from Bright to his wife during the war. We have copies of one or two, but would like to see copies of the rest. Also, any other information that might be helpful about either Burrell brother. Thanks to any or all who might be able to share info..
