NOTES ON HER HUSBAND
The background image on a new souvenir sheet of postage stamps depicting scenes from the Civil War battles at Vicksburg and Gettysburg is a photo of three captured Confederate soldiers with connections to Wilkes County.
The photograph was taken by noted Civil War photographer Mathew Brady shortly after the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863).
The three reportedly posed for Brady on Seminary Ridge.
The soldiers are Andrew C. Blevins and his son, Ephraim Blevins, and John Baldwin, a cousin.
Andrew is the great-great-grandfather of Pauline Carter of Hays.
The Blevins, who have other relatives in Wilkes, were living in Pembroke, Va., at the time of the war.
According to the Gettysburg Foundation, a nonprofit that helps operate the Gettysburg Park, Andrew Blevins served in the 30th Infantry Regiment from North Carolina; John Baldwin served with the Virginia 50th Infantry; and Ephraim Blevins was with the North Carolina 37th Infantry.
The three were taken prisoner on the last day of the Gettysburg battle.
In the photo, they are carrying extra bedrolls but do not have weapons.
They traveled between prison camps and often were put on burial detail.
According to Gettysburg officials, they collected extra clothing and blankets from the dead in order to prepare for their imprisonment.
The three were not released by the Northern Army until after the war ended in April 1865.
They had to walk hundreds of miles from Richmond, where they were released, back to their home in Pembroke.
According to Dollinger, Andrew Blevins “was my granddaddy’s granddaddy.”
Civil War historians have questioned the identity of the prisoners.
Most notably, they say that Andrew Blevins died in June of 1863 of wounds received at the Battle of Chancellorsville
