Oct. 28, 2009 - Entry 4: One Last Look in the Library

So the first draft of the episodes are due today, and I am still struggling with whether or not my primary and secondary sources are enough. Was able to get the morning off from work to spend looking through the one-hour reserve books. I got really excited when I ran across a quote attributed to James R. Hagood on page 142 of Richard J. Sommers' book, "Richmond Redeemed: The Siege at Petersburg." The quote was from "Memoirs of the First South Carolina Regiment of Volunteer Infantry in the Confederate War for Independence, April 12, 1861 to April 10, 1865" ... but it was South Caroliniana Library of USC. I did try to track it down online, but was never able to locate it after almost an hour of trying. Another dead end for now. Maybe I'll have more luck this weekend as I look ahead to revise my first draft.
