William Wofford was a planter, newspaper editor, state legislator and lawyer from Northwest Georgia. A volunteer in the Mexican War he opposed secession but joined the Confederate Army as a captain. Soon he became the Colonel of the 18th Georgia Regiment and in January 1863 he was made brigadier of the Cobb’s Brigade. At Gettysburg the brigade consisted of the 3rd Georgia Sharpshooters Battalion, the 16th, 18th and 24th Georgia regiments, as well as Phillips and Cobb's Legions , 1627 men in all. At Gettysburg, Wofford’s brigade was the last unit of Longstreet's corps to step off on July 2, 1863. Always known as aggressive commander, Wofford’s troops chafed for more than 2 hours behind Barksdale’s Mississippians. After the brigade stepped off it passed through several Confederate Artillery batteries and some confusion arose about the direction of the attack. Shortly thereafter when the Brigade approached the Emmitsburg road General Longstreet and Wofford appeared in front of the advance in a risky attempt to direct the attack. Captain James Lemon of the 18th Georgia noted, “We greeted them with a cheer, to which both Gen'ls doffed their hats in salute. Longstreet called out, ‘Cheer less boys and fight more. Your work is up ahead - give them the steel!’ “‘ That moment is depicted above. Longstreet and Wofford are passing in front of the 18th Georgia. In the background we can see Barksdale’s Brigade attacking the Peach Orchard area with the 21st Mississippi flanking the orchard’s right. The Sherfy Farm is on the left and the Wentz Farm is in the center. Their path then defined, Wofford’s Brigade drove straight east through the Peach Orchard and Stony Hill and eventually routed Union Troops in the Wheatfield. The advance was only stopped near the base of Little Round Top, to the chagrin of Wofford, by Longstreet’s order. Just some of the feedback for Gettysburg Diographs.
