CCS #1 “Fortified with the subject’s cultured letters, this short biography recounts the brief life of a young officer from Georgia who was killed at the little-known Battle of Ooustee, Florida.” – Civil War Books Presidents, Governors, Congressmen, and lesser officials were made and unmade by the Civil War. No one would deny that it was the war that made Ulysses. S. Grant. But many were denied the chance at future greatness because they died on the field of battle. It was this thought that led to the writing of this book. James Barrow, C.S.A. seemed an especially fitting subject to exemplify the fact. In 1858, at the age of seventeen, James Barrow entered the United States Military Academy at West Point. In January 1861, after three years at the Academy, Barrow resigned and returned to his home to enlist in the Confederate War effort. In June 1861 he became an adjutant to General Howell Cobb of the Sixteenth Georgia Regiment. In 1862, Barrow was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of Company B, 64th Regiment Georgia Infantry Volunteers. When Federal troops landed in Jacksonville, Florida in February 1864, the 64th Regiment Georgia Infantry Volunteers was one of the units of the Confederate force whose purpose was to intercept and stop the Federal troops from coming inland. Lieutenant Colonel James Barrow was the second in command of the 64th Regiment Georgia Infantry Volunteers. He was noted as being one of the youngest men of his rank in the Confederate Army. On February 10, 1864 when the Federal forces closed in, Barrow's Regiment met the enemy head on. When John W. Evans, Colonel of the 64th Regiment Georgia Infantry Volunteers, was wounded, Barrow took over command of the unit and rallied the Confederate Troops who eventually overran the Federal force; however the young Lieutenant Colonel James Barrow did not live to see the victory. He died on the field of a bullet wound through the heart. These letters show his ambitions and disappointments, his joys and sorrows, his light and chatty moments, his affection for his brothers and sisters, his deep devotion for his parents, and the great love of his life. All of these ended when at 22 he was killed in battle James Barrow was one of the many, South and North, who never lived for the greatness destined for them – they were a lost generation.
