WILLIAM HENRY ROBBINS

[The following inscription on a nameless tomb in St. David's Churchyard, Cheraw, South Carolina, has been the subject of much discussion. See The State, of Columbia, South Carolina, October, 23, 1907, and Dr. B. M. Palmer's 'Life and Letters of Thornwell, p. 36. The tomb is that of William Henry Robbins, 1795-1843, with whom Thornwell lived from his fourteenth to his eighteenth year.]

My name, my country, what is that to thee;
What, whether high or low, my pedigree?
Perhaps I far surpassed all other men;

Perhaps I fell below them: what then?

Suffice it, stranger, that thou see'st a tomb;

Thou know'st its use; it hides,--no matter whom.

Author, Philosopher, Royal Arch Mason, Confederate Soldier, Christian. His Pen, So Like Himself, Softened and Sweetened Life to Unnumbered Thousands. God Rest His Loved and Loving Heart.

Brig. General Confederate States Army
1863-64

Major General Confederate States Army
1864-65

Governor of Virginia

[East Side]

A man of strong Convictions
Bred in the strict

States Rights School

He yielded paramount allegiance
To his Mother State

And maintained with fearless

And impassioned eloquence
In the Congress of the United States
The sovereignty of Virginia

When the storm of war burst
"His voice was in his sword"
[West Side]

Called from the army
To guide again the destinies
Of this Commonwealth
During 1864-65,

He displayed such energy, resource
And unshaken resolution

As drew to him the heart

Of the whole Southern people.
Tried by both extremes of fortune
He proved equal to the trial,
And died as he had lived

A Virginian of Virginians.

[North Side]

Though past three score, He entered the military service As Colonel of Virginia Infantry And rose by sheer merit To the rank of Major General. At First Manassas, Seven Pines The Seven Days Battle, Cedar Mountain, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg His fiery yet "cheerful courage" Was everywhere conspicuous And the only fault imputed to him By his superiors was "A too reckless exposure of his person.' Thrice wounded at Sharpsburg, He refused to leave the field, and Remained in command of his regiment Until the end of that

Sanguinary engagement.
