collecting relics since 1965. My father found a OLI belt buckle several years
ago at Harrisons Landing, the Union armies position after Malvern Hill. The
buckle was hit hard by an unknown object most likly causing death to its wearer.
A lot of souvenirs picked up by Union soldiers have been found here. I did
notice 1 Private killed at Malvern Hill, a posibility but far from conclusive.
Ill check out your site more thorouly when I have more time. Gus Prokopis

her grandmother. He was a Lt. Colonel in the 59th of Ga. I got a copy and
researched everywhere I could go. His name is Bolivar Hopkins Gee from the
Mitchell-Baker County area. He lived through all 4 years of the war,surrending
at Appomatax with Lee. Your site has given me more hope in learning more
detailed accounts of his regiment in the same battles the 8th participated in. I
learned he was promoted at Gettysburg when Col. Brown was wounded and he took
command of the 59th. Any information you could include on the brigade(the 59th
as well) on your site would be highly appreciated. I have tracked his journey
through the war but still have questions. Thank you very much for your hard
work. God Bless and keep up the great work.

Comments: This page is a fantastic peice of historical research. I am a
reenactor in the 8th New Jersey Vol. Inf. I would just like to inform you a bit
about us and why I am interested in this page. The 8th New Jersey was in George
S. Burling's brigade (3rd Brigade, 2nd Division, 3rd Corps) at Gettysburg. With
out the knowledge and authority of Col. Burling, his brigade was scattered to
fill various gaps in the union lines. The 8th New Jersey had been placed along
the stone wall in the wheatfield, when Gen. De Trobriand ordered the 8th to
shift to the right. The 17th Maine now took the stone wall and the 8th was
positioned on the right flank of the wheatfield with the 115th PA between the
8th New Jersey and the 17 ME. At Remembrance Day at Gettysburg, PA (November
20-22, 1998) My unit is going to discuss the actions of July 2nd at our monument
and also the actions of the 8th Georgia and 9th Georgia against the union lines.
It was probably the rifle fire of the 8th Georgia that coined a phrase in the
8th New Jersey "Shot in the back while facing the enemy". This page will help us
understand the views and movements of the the 8th Georgia at Gettysburg. I would
like to view our "tour" of the action on that day as a tribute to both the 8th
Georgia and the 8th New Jersey. Again, I think this page is fantastic and is a
valuable tool. Thank you. ~Brian.
