Alfred Mallory Edgar was born on July 10, 1837, in Greenbrier County, West] Virginia, the son of Archer Edgar and Nancy Howe Pearis. Their mill, known as Edgar's Mill, is now the site of present day Ronceverte, West Virginia. At the outbreak of the Civil War, the family owned ten slaves, five males and five females, ranging in age from 7 to 39 years old.

On May 9, 1861, at 23 years of age, Alfred volunteered for service in the Greenbrier Rifles, which would become part of the 27th Virginia Infantry, a regiment in the famous Stonewall Brigade of the Confederate Army. The Stonewall Brigade received their name from their legendary commander, General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. The 27th Virginia fought in many of the major campaigns and battles of the Civil War, including First Manassas, the 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the 1864 battles of the Wilderness. Edgar was wounded in the left shoulder at the Bloody Angle at Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia, on May 12, 1864, and was made a prisoner of war. He was sent to Fort Delaware until he became part of a group that would be known as The Immortal 600. This group of Confederate officers were taken to Morris Island, South Carolina, at the entrance to Charleston Harbor, and exposed to enemy artillery fire for 45 days in an attempt to silence the Confederate gunners manning Fort Sumter. This was in retaliation for the Confederate Army imprisoning 50 Union Army officers and using them as human shields against federal artillery in the city of Charleston, in an attempt to stop Union artillery from firing upon the city. Edgar was finally released on June 16, 1865.

In June, 1875, he married Lydia McNeel, daughter of Col. Paul McNeel, whom he had met while a student at the old Lewisburg Academy. They settled at Hillsboro in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, where he was a farmer and stockman. Captain Edgar died in Pocahontas County on October 8, 1913, and is buried in the McNeel Cemetery.

Later in life, he wrote his reminiscences of the war. This work presents those memoirs with only minimal editing. It is the compelling personal account of a young Confederate soldier describing his dramatic experience in the Civil War and its impact on his life, family, and community.

I will buy this planner every year!
Format: Book Supplement
I had a 2025 Old Farmers Almanac Planner and loved it. I had to get the 2026. This planner is perfect for me. Shows the month at a glance, but then has the day pages where you can put plenty of notes!

A nice themed planner
Format: Book Supplement
Not a garden/farming planner. Just a regular planner with some Old Farmers Almanac rubbed on it. Really well made and nice looking but not really super special or helpful for farming or gardening.

Great Book
Format: Book Supplement
Been buying this Planner since 2022. First year I bought it for myself. 2nd year myself & my bestie. 3rd year myself, bestie & another friend. I’m sure you get the idea. 😁 I keep up with daily weather predictions on the calendar page & daily activities, of any type, in the days of the week section. I can see when I planted a crop or when I SWR the bed (for those not in the know it means strip, wash & remake the bed). My youngest daughter got a real kick out of that one. Told her when I passed she could read them all & try to figure out what the heck I was talking about. *LOL* Great book, beautiful renderings & interesting tips & notations.
