CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Ellison Capers was a Confederate General officer and Anglican Bishop. A distinguished Civil War officer, he is probably better remembered for his later career in the Episcopal Church. Appointed Major of South Carolina Volunteers, he took part in the April 12, 1861 shelling of Fort Sumter, initially served in coastal defense, and in 1863 was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel after helping to recruit the 24th South Carolina Infantry. Fighting in North and South Carolina as well as at Vicksburg, Capers was wounded multiple times; he served under General Braxton Bragg at Chickamauga and was advanced to Colonel during the Atlanta Campaign. Receiving brigade command following the death of General States Rights Gist at Franklin, Tennessee on November 30, 1864, he was appointed Brigadier General effective March 1, 1865. Captured at Bentonville, North Carolina, in late March of 1865, he went to Columbia, South Carolina, at the end of the war and was appointed Secretary of State. REFERENCES: KRICK 70: "Less than one hundred pages of this biography covers Capers' Confederate military career, the heaviest emphasis being on the 1863 and 1864 campaigns. Pre-war material includes some extracts from Capers' journals. The largest part of the volume covers the bishop's later career as a clergyman in South Carolina, and as Chancellor of the University of the South.".
