Even Before The End Of The Civil War Colonel John Pelham Had Become A Legendary Figure Of The Confederacy. General Lee Called Him The Gallant Pelham, And On Seeing The Young Artillerist Employ But A Single Gun To Hold Up The Advance Of Three Union Divisions And Over A Hundred Guns At Fredericksberg, He Exclaimed: It Is Glorious To See Such Courage In One So Young.stonewall Jackson, Who Relied Implicitly On Pelham In Tight Situations Said: It Is Really Extraordinary To Find Such Nerve And Genius In A Mere Boy. With A Pelham On Each Flank I Believe I Could Whip The World.jeb Stuart, The Dashing Cavalry Chief, Claimed That John Pelham Exhibited A Skill And Courage Which I Have Never Seen Surpassed.
