Book excerpt: The South Carolina 1st Regiment Rifles, also known as Orr's Rifles, was organized at Sandy Springs, South Carolina, in July, 1861. Its members were recruited in the counties of Abbeville, Pickens, Anderson, and Marion. The "pound cake" regiment, as Orr's was known during its early service, sports an oddity that reflects the time. Two women are carried on the rosters. Mrs. Rose Duff as a Cook and Laundress, and Mrs. E. Rippett whose duties unspecified. There is no Mr. Duff associated with the Rifles, nor a Mr. Rippett. However, these ladies were probably just as shown. The unit was first stationed on Sullivan's Island and called by the other troops "The Pound Cake Regiment" because of its light duty. Then in April, 1862, it moved to Virginia with 1,000 men. Assigned to General Gregg's and McGowan's Brigade, it fought with the army from the Seven Days' Battles to Cold Harbor. Later the regiment endured the hardships of the Petersburg trenches and the Appomattox operations. Companies Of The SC 1st Infantry Regiment Rifles Company A - "Keowee Rifleman," Captain J. W.
