Collection — Box: 1
Identifier: Mss-0044
A one volume account book of approximately 100 pages remaining within 259 numbered pages, showing accounts with soldiers and officers of the regiment and others. The ledger has suffered considerable damage and many pages are missing. J. H. Stribling's name appears in the volume for several entries, 1892-1894. Stribling was a member of the first class to enter Clemson.
The regiment was one of the first organized in 1861. It entered state service in April 1861 and Confederate service in June 1861. The regiment served as part of the Army of Northern Virginia until it disbanded on April 13th, 1862. Colonel Micah Jenkins then organized the Palmetto Sharpshooters and most of the officers and men of the disbanded Fifth joined it.
