Colonel Goode Bryan led the 16th Georgia at Gettysburg, in Brig. Gen. William Wofford's brigade, but after Brig. Gen. Paul Semmes was wounded on 2 July, Bryan was reportedly brevetted Brigadier General and placed in command of that brigade the following day, 3 July (according to Asst Surg. Myers - see below). Presumably at the same time Lieutenant Colonel Henry Philip Thomas was elevated to command of the 16th Georgia, but I have not found any documentation mentioning it. In fact, the only confirmation I have been able to find that LCol H. P. Thomas was even present on the field comes from a soldier in another regiment - E. H. Sutton of Company K, 24th Georgia, who writes (in Grand Pa's War Stories) on 2 July, while charging into the valley northwest of Little Round Top: "Colonel Thomas of the Sixteenth Georgia, came along urging us on. 'One more effort, boys,' said he, 'and the battery is ours.'" LCol H. P. Thomas was a 1832 graduate of Franklin College (now the University of Georgia) and the brother of Edward Lloyd Thomas, who was a brigade commander serving in another corps (Third) at Gettysburg. LCol. H. P. Thomas was killed five months later, on 29 November 1863. The Major of the 16th Georgia at Gettysburg was B. Edward Stiles. The Assistant Quartermaster was apparently Capt. Lewis S. McGuier. Surgeon James Beverly Clifton of the 16th Georgia was actually attached to Semmes' brigade, which would have left Assistant Surgeon Robert Pooler Myers in charge of the regiment's wounded. Myers left a diary of the campaign, one of the few extant primary sources on the 16th Georgia at Gettysburg. Welcome feedback.
