One hundred and fifty years ago in July 1861, seventeen-year old Robert W. Sing of Bucksville, South Carolina, joined the 10th S.C. Volunteer Infantry. Over the course of the next four years of war, Private Sing would travel over 3700 miles as part of the Army of Tennessee. This is an account of his experiences, the Civil War, and life in the South Carolina Lowcountry of the 19th century. By P.J. Vierra
