Unknown soldier from Columbia militia

YORK DAILY RECORD
Gordon's Confederate troops advanced slowly on Wrightsville at about 6 p.m., June 28, 1863.
Their point men rose from fields of grain to pepper with gunshot Union regulars and militiamen defending the town from recently dug trenches.
A fighting man with a black militia unit from Columbia was one of those in the Union trenches.
