From 1859 to 1860 he was at the University of Virginia. Wilson's military service is as follows:\n\nEntered service at Craig Court House, Virginia on May 15, 1861 for 1 year as a Captain, Company B, 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment.\nOn recruiting service from February to April 1862.\nElected Major on May 1, 1862 at re-organization.\nWas sightly wounded in action (face) on June 1, 1862 at Seven Pines, Henrico County, Virginia.\nWas wounded in action (thigh) at Gaines' Mill, Hanover County, Virginia.\nWent into Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania telling men, \"Now, boys, put your trust in God and follow me!\"\nWas killed in action on July 3, 1863.","1st Day\nPennsylvania\nOn the 25th of June Pickett's Division (the Division to which I belong) crossed the Potomac into Maryland \u0026 encamped about one mile north of Williamsport, a town of about 500 inhabitants. This place is situated on the north bank of the Potomac in one of the most fertile regions of the state, little or no sympathy was shown us by the citizens of the town. Before going into camp we executed a Private from the 18th Va. Regt. for desertion. The Division waded the river, the water taking most of the men under the arms.","2nd Day\nPennsylvania\n26th June\nOrders to move in the direction of Hagerstown at 4 o'clock, do not get off until 10, delay occasioned by the passing of A. P. Hill's Corps to the front. Whisky rations issued (it being a very wet morning), every man in spirits, both good \u0026 bad. Marched through Hagerstown into Franklin Co. near Greencastle, Pa, passed through Middleburg, a small place on the Md. \u0026 Pa. line. Hagerstown is about 7 miles from the river \u0026 about 5 from the Pa. line \u0026 contains between 4500 and 5000 inhabitants a large majority of whom are ultra unionist in sentiment.","3rd Day\nPennsylvania\n27th June\nMarched out of camp in the direction of Chambersburg, passed through Greencastle \u0026 Marion small villages, unworthy of note. The country from the Md. Line to Chambersburg is rather rugged \u0026 the soil not half so fine as that portion of Maryland we passed over on yesterday.\nThere is a great quantity of the limestone \u0026 it is too near the surface.

Sunday morning 15th March - We move this morning in the direction of the Sounds. The country that we are passing through is the greatest corn and hog country that I have ever been in. In fact everything seems plenty except flour.

We are some distance inside the enemies lines [drove in] their pickets soon this morning I don't think we take the town though we might do it with ease as they have but a small force. Their gun boats would prevent our holding it long and then there is nothing to gain by taking. We send out this evening our wagons with a large escort about 30 miles below this [?] Terrill we are now in Washington. Sunday morning March 22 - our wagons arrived this morning with a large quantity of corn and some forty or fifty thousand pounds of bacon. Our orders now are to march back in the direction of Greenville. We get plenty of Roanoke River shad here at 50 cts. a piece, eggs 10 cts a dozen, sweet potatoes $1.00 per [lb?], lard 20 cts. per lb, bacon from 15 to 25 cts per lb and butter about the same, so you see we may live well, but back about Greenville things are little higher. The yankees have destroyed a great deal of property in this country, most of the houses of loyal citizens have been burned or robbed of furniture.","Wednesday March 25th- We are now back at Greenville, where we will move to next I know not - but I think it more than probable we will be ordered to Kinstown or Goldsborough.  We never hear any news down in this country, the people are generally very ignorant, you will find families owning large numbers of slaves not able to write their names.
