About 2nd Lt. William Tate Speaks, Jr. (CSA)

William Tate Speaks, Jr. was mortally wounded in the Second Battle of Pocotaligo.

The Second Battle of Pocotaligo South Carolina was an engagement of the American Civil War on October the 22nd, 1862. General Brannan, who had been assigned to destroy the railway connection between Charleston and Savannah, commanding 4448 Federal troops, encountered some 5000 Confederates under Walker. A brisk fight followed. Brannan's supply of cartridges gave out, and he was getting decidedly the worst of the fight. He therefore retreated precipitately.
