AG Paradise is my great great grandfather. He is sometimes listed as Augustus Greely Paradise which is erroneous. His middle name is 'Grimshaw'. Born: 7 August 1836 Lincolnton, Georgia.

Fought at Gettysburg under AP Hill's III Corps, Anderson's Division, Wright's Brigade. Took part in 2 July 1863 evening attack on the Union center at Cemetery Ridge. Wright's Brigade has the 'distinction of penetrating the furthest into the Union defenses'...further than the more widely known Pickett's charge on 3 July 1863. Looking for anyone with a photograph of Augustus or James Paradise taken during the War or after.
