--Lieutenant General Stephen Dill Lee, C.S.A
"Stephen Dill Lee was born on September 22, 1833, in Charleston,
South Carolina, and was distantly related to Robert E. Lee.
After graduating from West Point in 1854, he served in the US
Army for seven years, in artillery and staff positions. In
February of 1861, he resigned and joined the Confederate army.
Lee was a member of Brig. Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard's staff at
Fort Sumter, and performed well as an artillerist at the Second
Battle of Bull Run and Antietam. In Mississippi, he became an
artillery brigadier general, participating in the fighting at
Chickasaw Bayou, Champion's Hill and the Siege of Vicksburg.
Captured at Vicksburg, he was exchanged and promoted to major
general. In May of 1864, he was appointed commander of the
Department of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana. Promoted
to lieutenant general to rank from June 23, 1864, he led troops
in the Atlanta Campaign, the Battle of Ezra Church and the
Franklin and Nashville Campaign. He was wounded while retreating
from Nashville, and was unable to return to active duty until
the last Carolinas Campaign. He was surrendered in April of
1865. In the years after the Civil War, Lee lived in
Mississippi. There, he worked as a farmer, a member of the state
legislature and first president of the Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical College (1878-97). One of the founders and active
members of the United Confederate Veterans, Lee served as its
president from 1904 to 1908. He also helped promote women's
rights, wrote about history and made efforts to preserve the
Vicksburg battlefield sites. Lee died in Vicksburg, Mississippi,
on May 29, 1908.
STEPHEN DILL LEE, LL. D. Tulane University, La. Graduated at
West Point, 1854. First Lieutenant 4th Artillery, U.S. A.,
1854-61, and three years regimental quartermaster in same.
Resigned commission and accepted commission of Captain, C. S. A.
Along with Gens. Wade HAMPTON and Richard H. ANDERSON, was one
of the three Lieutenant-Generals in the Confederate Army
appointed from South Carolina. Was at various times an
artillery, cavalry and infantry commander, the superior training
that he had received at West Point having made him competent to
hold any of these commands. He volunteered for the War with his
native State, but after the termination of the great struggle,
he took up his work for peace in Mississippi, as first president
of the State A. & M. College, and latterly as Commissioner of
the Vicksburg Military Park.
As an aide to Gen. BEAUREGARD, he was sent by that General,
together with another young South Carolinian, to Major Robert
ANDERSON, to demand the surrender of Fort Sumter. When the
Federal officer refused to surrender, it was then Capt. LEE who
gave the command to the Confederate gunner to open fire on the
fort, this beginning in fact the War for Southern Independence.
When the South Carolina troops, of HAMPTON'S Legion, set out for
Virginia, young Capt. LEE took out, in the famous command, his
battery–the Washington Artillery of Charleston. He received his
commission of Major in the artillery in Nov. 1861, and after the
Battle of Yorktown, his work of handling the cannon appealed so
forcibly to Gen. JOHNSTON, that that officer immediately made
him a Lieutenant-CoIonel. After courageous and effective work as
MAGRUDER'S chief of artillery in the seven-days fight around
Richmond, Lieut.-Col. LEE was given the command of the 4th
Virginia Cavalry, where he displayed a wonderful knowledge of
this branch of the service. As a Colonel he was transferred back
to the artillery service, and worked great havoc with his 20
guns on his campaign against [p.450] POPE. At the second
Manassas battle, Col. LEE won his greatest military reputation,
for every one believed that he had saved the day, and that he
had turned victory to the Southern army. At Sharpsburg, he made
another great name for himself, and in this fight 90 horses and
100 men were lost by the little battalion under his command.
After the Battle of Antietam, Col. LEE was promoted to the
command of Brigadier and was sent out West to assume charge of
the defenses around Vicksburg. History has written of the brave
defense of Vicksburg and its poorly planned surrender. Much
credit has been given to Gen. LEE for the gallant part he took
in the defense. After the surrender Gen. LEE was commissioned a
Major-General and was placed in command of all of the cavalry in
the army of the Mississippi. Later he was given control of the
Department of Alabama, Mississippi and Eastern Louisiana, where
he did, as usual, most creditable service. At the age of 31, the
brave South Carolinian received his commission as
Lieutenant-General in the Confederate forces. He then was in
HOOD'S command, and it was due to LEE'S superior military
knowledge that the Confederates were not subjected to
humiliation after their illfated campaign around Nashville.
Shortly after this a serious wound, the first that he had
received, incapacitated him from further service during the war.
Served respectively as Captain, Major, Lieutenant-Colonel,
Colonel, Brigadier-General, Major-General and
Lieutenant-General.
Commanded Confederates at Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi, when
SHERMAN was defeated, and in Battles of Tupelo, Mississippi,
Atlanta, Ga., Jonesborough, Ga., Franklin, Nashville, Tenn.
After the war was planter in Mississippi; State Senator, 1870;
member of Constitutional Convention, Mississippi, 1890; chairman
Historical Committee, Association of United Confederate
Veterans; Lieutenant-General Commanding Army of Tennessee,
Department United Confederate Veterans; president Mississippi
Historical Society; president Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College, 1880-99; elected General Commanding United
Confederate Veterans, 1904; Commissioner of Vicksburg National
Military Park, after 1st Mar. 1899.
LEE, Stephen Dill, soldier and educator, was born in Charleston,
S.C., Sept. 22, 1833; son of Thomas and Caroline (Alison) Leo,
grandson of Judge Thomas and Kezia (Miles) Lee, and great
grandson of William Lee, a leading citizen of Charleston, who
was confined in the prison ship, and transferred to St.
Augustine, Fla., by the the British during the American
Revolution.
Stephen Dill Leo was graduated at the U.S. Military academy in
1854, and promoted 2d Lieutenant, 4th U.S. artillery; was
promoted 1st lieutenant, Oct. 31, 1856; served in the Seminole
War, 1856-57; was appointed assistant adjutant-general of the
Department of Florida, August, 1857; served as quartermaster of
the 4th artillery, 1857-61, and was on frontier duty, 1857-61.
He resigned his commission, Feb. 20, 1861, and was appointed a
captain in the South Carolina army. He was aide-de-camp to
General Beauregard, and prior to the bombardment of Fort Sumter,
in company with Col. James Chestnut, he carried the formal
demand to Major Anderson for the surrender of the fort. He
served as quartermaster, commissary, engineer officer, and
distributing officer for the army in Charleston; was
commissioned captain in the Confederate States army, and was
given command of the light battery of Hampton's South Carolina
legion. He was promoted successively major, lieutenant-colonel
and colonel of artillery, and participated in the Peninsula
campaign, in the battles of Seven Pines, Savage's Station and
Malvern Hill. He commanded a battalion of artillery in Lee's
army during the campaign against Pope, a battalion at the second
battle of Manassas, and at Sharpsburg. He was commissioned
brigadier-general for gallantry at the battle of Sharpsburg,
Nov. 6, 1863; commanded the garrison and batteries at Vicksburg,
Miss., 1862-63; was in command of the provisional division at
Chickasaw Bluffs, and repelled the attack made by General
Sherman's army, with one brigade of the Vicksburg garrison, Dec.
28-29, 1862. He had command of the entire line from Vicksburg to
Snyder's Mill. At the battle of Champion Hills, May 18, 1863,
his brigade in Stephenson's division bore the brunt of the
battle, and nearly half of his men were killed, wounded or
prisoners. In the siege of Vicksburg a part of his brigade was
driven from their intrenchments in the assault by Grant, May 22,
1863, but recovered the position before the close of the day,
and after the fall of Vicksburg he was exchanged and promoted
major-general, Aug. 3, 1863. He was in command of the cavalry
forces in Mississippi. West Tennessee, Alabama and East
Louisiana. While in command of cavalry he organized several
regiments. He was in command at the battle of Tupelo, Miss.,
July 14, 1864, where with about 6000 cavalry and dismounted men
he fought a drawn battle with a [p.389] superior force,
compelling Gen. A. J. Smith to retreat to Memphis, Tenn. He was
promoted lieutenant-general, June 23., 1864; commanded a corps
in the battles around Atlanta, and lead the assault at Ezra
Church, July 28, 1864.
During the invasion of Tennessee he was in command of a corps in
Hood's army, was severely wounded at Nashville, and was
succeeded in command by Gen. C. L. Stevenson, who conducted the
retreat across the Tennessee. General Lee resumed command of his
corps in North Carolina, and surrendered with Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston's army at High Point, N.C.
He then removed to Mississippi, and was married, Feb. 9, 1865,
to Regina, daughter of James Thomas and Regina (Blewett)
Harrison, of Columbus, Miss. He was elected state senator in
1870, and was the first president of the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical college, 1880-99. He was a member of
the constitutional convention which framed the new constitution
of Mississippi in 1890, chairman of the historical committee,
Association of United Confederate Veterans, and on Nov. 5, 1894,
