Welcome to the website of Lucas' South Carolina Battalion. Please feel free to browse through our website. Although the battlefields are quiet, they offer us visions of their past and stand as a monument for us to see today. 

As a new organization, our main objective is to raise awareness and educate the public and provide a family friendly atmosphere, striving for a authentic portrayal (or historically accurate) of a South Carolinian Volunteer from the Charleston, South Carolina Area. Please be advised, we are portraying the  infantry aspect of this unit and the Marylanders who gallantly traveled to Charleston and enlisted there for the defense of the South.   We are headquartered in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.

We need your help! If you are a descendant and would like to contribute any material no matter the size of the story, (prewar, war, or postwar) for our archives - such as memoirs, photographs, and letters on the members of Lucas' Battalion, please contact us at John@emmitsburg.net. Lucas' South Carolina Battalion's past is slowly fading away. Information on the regiment is very limited and it's up to people such as ourselves to see that it's name, those who served, and the battlefields that they fought on are preserved for future generations.
