Accounts of the 21st Mississippi at Gettysburg are scarce but I have found a few references in Federal accounts. For instance, History of the Corn Exchange Regiment (118th Pennsylvania), pages 245-250. On 2 July 1863, the 118th took a final position behind a stone fence "about 200 feet from the gate opening into the lane of the Trostle House." Here they confronted the advance of the 21st Mississippi. "Their line of battle, with colors well to the front, developed distinctly and still continued to envelop the right and the battery [Bigelow's 9th Massachusetts], punishing it most severely. The 118th was compelled to retreat again. "Just as it commenced the color-bearer of the 21st Mississippi regiment advanced through the gate of the Trostle House and, halting in the road, stood gallantly and courageously waving his colors in the midst of the thickest of the melee." In addition, The History of the 9th Massachusetts Battery, by L. W. Baker describes the attack by the 21st at the Trostle buildings. The Supplement to the Official Records ..., part II, vol. 33, pages 601-648, covers the 21st, with an entry specific to Company E: July 2 - Sgt. J. M. Stricker, mortally wounded, died 3 July. Capt. I. D. Stamps, Pvt. E. G. Baker and 10 others wounded. Sgt. Miller and four privates captured. Sgt. Miller escaped from Fort Delaware by swimming the Delaware river ... 21st alone took seven guns and Gen. Charles K. Graham and a large number of prisoners. Capt. Stamps mortally wounded. Ten men wounded - one mortally. July 3 - Skirmished. One wounded slightly. The Confederate Veteran Magazine, vol. 33 (1925) has two interesting items. Page 185 mentions Gadi Gibson, who was wounded in the neck at Gettysburg "and not expected to survive the night, but he recovered and gave more service to the Confederacy. Five Gibson cousins were in the battle of Gettysburg and all were wounded, but none mortally." Page 231 describes James L. Simmons, who had enlisted in Company F. At Gettysburg "he was wounded by a fragment of shell which killed or wounded three of his companions." Simmons was afterwards taken captive.
