The Eleventh Regiment soon won an enviable reputation; it was well
officered, well drilled and not excelled by any regiment in the First
Brigade, which was first commanded by Longstreet, then by A. P. Hill,
then by J. L. Kemper, and later by Wm. R. Terry. This brigade was as
good as any brigade in Pickett's Division; Pickett's Division was not
surpassed by any division in Longstreet's corps; Longstreet's Corps was
equal to any corps in the army of Northern Virginia, and the world never
saw a better army than the army of Northern Virginia.
While at Manassas, many troops came on from the South. All were
organized into regiments and brigades. The First, Third, Seventh,
Eleventh and Seventeenth Virginia Regiments composed the First Brigade
of Virginia Infantry, commanded by Brig.-Gen. James Longstreet. In
September, 1862, the Seventeenth Regiment was put in Corse's Brigade,
and the Twenty-fourth Virginia was added to Longstreet's old brigade.
The Twenty-fourth was then commanded by Col. W. R. Terry, Lieut.-Col.
Peter Hairston, and Maj. Richard F. Maury.
The First Regiment was commanded by Col. P. T. Moore, of Richmond,
Lieut.-Col. G. W. Palmer, I think, and Maj. John Dooly, and was made up
entirely of Richmond companies.
The Third Regiment was commanded by Col. Joseph Mayo, Jr., Lieut.-Col.
Wm. H. Pryor, and Maj. John D. Whitehead.
The Seventh Regiment was commanded by Col. J. L. Kemper, of Madison
County; Lieut.-Col. W. Tazwell Patton, and Maj. C. C. Floweree.
The Seventeenth Regiment was commanded by Col. M. D. Corse, of
Alexandria; Lieut.-Col. Morton Mayre, and Maj. Wm. Munford.
There were many changes in these field officers. Perhaps I have failed
to name correctly all the original field officers.
