=Sanders, Col. C. C.=, Gainesville, Ga; president of the State Banking
Co. of Gainesville; alternate commissioner to World’s Fair,
Chicago, Ill., 1893; vice-president for Georgia, American Bankers’
Association. Colonel Sanders is of Irish and English ancestry. On
the maternal side he is descended from Thomas and Theodosia M.
Smyth, who emigrated from Ireland in 1793, landing in Charleston,
S. C. They settled in Jones County, Ga. Thomas died November 28,
1799. On the paternal side Colonel Sanders is a descendant of Rev.
Moses Sanders, who emigrated from England, with two brothers, John
and David, and arrived in Petersburg, Va., 1765. They embraced the
patriotic cause in the Revolution and were active in operations
against the British. Colonel Sanders, the subject of this sketch,
graduated from the Georgia Military Institute, in June, 1861;
entered the Confederate service; was made lieutenant-colonel of
the Twenty-fourth Regiment of Infantry, Georgia Volunteers,
August, 1861; served under General Lee in the Peninsular campaign,
in the seven days’ battles around Richmond, Va., and was among the
bravest of the brave; commanded his regiment at Malvern Hill and
at Marye’s Heights, Fredericksburg, where the Twenty-fourth was a
part of the Confederate forces that received the valorous charges
of Meagher’s Irish Brigade. He also commanded the regiment at the
battles of Chancellorsville and Antietam, at which latter conflict
he was placed in command of Wofford’s Brigade. While in this
position he met a bayonet charge from the Federals by a counter
bayonet charge, and in the desperate fighting that ensued,
fifty-eight per cent of Sanders’ heroic force was swept away.
Colonel Sanders also led the Twenty-fourth at Cedar Creek,
Chickamauga, Knoxville, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House,
and Sailor’s Creek. On April 6, 1865, Ewell’s Corps, to which
Colonel Sanders’ regiment was then attached, was captured, and
Colonel Sanders was sent as a prisoner of war to Washington, D. C.
Writing of Meagher’s Irish Brigade, Colonel Sanders says: “I was
in command of the Twenty-fourth Georgia Regiment, with other
troops, at the foot of Marye’s Heights, receiving the five heroic
and gallant charges of the Irish Brigade, whose prodigies of valor
have filled the country with admiration. I saw the devoted Irish
charge up to our breastworks, to be mowed down by a line of
Confederate fire that no soldiers could withstand. I saw the Irish
battalions cut down like grain before the reaper, yet the
survivors would magnificently close up their ranks only to have
huge gaps again cut through them. When forced back they rallied
and came bravely on again, only to be riddled with bullets and
torn by artillery. Their fifth charge was made with greatly
decimated ranks that slowly recoiled like the waves of a
tempestuous sea. When twilight descended upon the scene, a
spectacle was presented unequaled in warfare. At least three
fourths of my command was composed of men of Irish descent and
knew that the gallant dead in our front were our kindred of the
land beyond the sea. When, one by one, the stars came out that
night, many tears were shed by Southern Confederate eyes for the
heroic Federal Irish dead.” During the war Colonel Sanders was
offered the rank of brigadier-general but declined the same.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
The Society was organized on January 20, 1897, in Boston, Mass., and now has members in many states, the District of Columbia, one territory and two foreign countries.
Briefly stated, the object of the organization is to make better known the Irish chapter in American history.
There are two classes of members in the organization,—Life and Annual. The life membership fee is $50 (paid once). The fee for annual members is $5, paid yearly. In the case of new annual members, the initiation fee, $5, also pays the membership dues for the first year.
The board of government comprises a president-general, a vice-president-general, a secretary-general, a treasurer-general, a librarian and archivist, and an executive council. There are also state vice-presidents.
The Society has already issued several bound volumes and a number of other publications. These have been distributed to the members and to public libraries; also to historical organizations and to universities. Each member of the Society is entitled, free of charge, to a copy of every publication issued from the time of his admittance. These publications are of great interest and value, and are more than an equivalent for the membership fee.
The Society draws no lines of creed or politics. Being an American organization in spirit and principle, it welcomes to its ranks Americans of whatever race descent, and of whatever creed, who take an interest in the objects for which the Society is organized. Membership application blanks will be furnished on request.
The membership includes many people of prominence, and has been addressed by many distinguished men. It occupies a position in the front rank of American historical organizations.

PRAISE FOR VOLUME VI.
Among the letters received by Secretary Murray in praise of Vol. VI were the following:
From Dr. George McAleer, Worcester, Mass.:
WORCESTER, MASS., April 6, 1907.
DEAR MR. MURRAY: I have just received Volume VI of the Journal of the
American-Irish Historical Society. Its pages are filled with much
important matter along the line in which the Society is specially
interested, and it easily outranks any of its predecessors.
Congratulating you upon your contribution thereto and the Society upon
its production, I am,
Yours very sincerely,
GEO. MCALEER.

From the Librarian of Trinity College, Washington, D. C.:
TRINITY COLLEGE,
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15, 1907.
THOMAS HAMILTON MURRAY, ESQ.,
_Secretary of the American-Irish Historical Society_.
DEAR SIR: The sixth volume of the records of your Society was received
last week, and it is my pleasant duty to thank you for your courtesy
in sending it to our library. The whole volume is extremely
interesting, and the articles of such equal value that it is hard to
put one before another. Two classes in history are just engaged on the
periods covered by your learned writers.
Very sincerely yours,
SISTER MARY PATRICIA, S. N. D.,
_College Librarian_.
* * * * *
From the President of Seton Hall College:
SETON HALL COLLEGE,
SOUTH ORANGE, N. J., June 12, 1907.
THOS. H. MURRAY, _Secretary_.
DEAR SIR: I acknowledge with great pleasure the receipt of the Journal
of the American-Irish Historical Society, Volume VI, 1906. I have
perused it with great satisfaction and am happy and proud to know that
the glorious part which the Irish bore in our early history, and are
bearing today, is being so well brought before the eyes of the world.
“To make better known the Irish Chapter in American History,” your
neat and wholesome volume will undoubtedly contribute much, for the
spirit manifested throughout the book is such as to beget love of the
race and an interest to continue reading. And you build up the
glorious edifice of true American-Irish history by simply claiming
your due and disparaging no man. This intention, your illustrious
President-General McGowan, in his address to the members of the
Society, has chivalrously expressed in these memorable words: “We rob
no race to gild the Irish name when we undertake to unearth the
records of the past.... We merely wish to claim, assert and set forth
the credit which to us belongs, for the part that men and women of
Irish blood took in bringing about the reign of liberty and freedom we
now enjoy.... We do not wish to praise ourselves by ‘masquerading in
borrowed plumes,’ nor have we any desire to detract one iota from the
credit that is honestly that of others.”
Wishing you and your Society continued success and influence, and
thanking you once again for your kindness, believe me,
Most sincerely yours,
(VERY REV.) JAMES F. MOONEY,
_President, Seton Hall College_.

_Secretary-General American-Irish Historical Society, Boston, Mass._
MY DEAR MR. MURRAY: I have just received Volume VI of the Journal of
the American-Irish Historical Society, and have perused its contents
with a great deal of interest.
No word of mine can convey the gratitude I personally feel for the
disinterested and fruitful work of those, yourself among them, whose
labors have succeeded in resurrecting so much information of value,
tending to point out the importance of the work of the early Irish
emigrants in the formative period of American history and
institutions.
I pray the good work may be continued, to the end that our children,
as Americans, may learn the truths of history rather than its vagaries
and falsehoods. With great respect, believe me,
Sincerely yours,
P. O’LOUGHLIN.
