Regiment History
The 1st Regiment, South Carolina Artillery first organized as the 1st Battalion, South Carolina Artillery in the early part of 1861. On May 24, 1861 the Battalion mustered into Confederate service with 5 companies. Two more companies were added by the end of the year and in February 1862, two more companies. The 1st Battalion Artillery was then reorganized as the 1st Regiment, South Carolina Artillery on March 25, 1862. It participated at Secessionville and operations on Morris Island. The unit was converted to infantry in February 1865, though interestingly kept wearing their artillery uniforms in combat. Many of the officers and soldiers were from the Charleston area. The regiment surrendered on April 26, 1865 at Durham Station, North Carolina with the Army of Tennessee.
