The James D. Nance Camp, No. 336, Newberry, SC was named after
Colonel James Drayton Nance. Col. Nance was born in Newberry, South Carolina on October 10, 1837. He was a graduate of the Citadel and a practicing attorney at the outbreak of the Civil War. He was also instrumental in the training of the 3rd South Carolina Infantry. It was men like James D. Nance in the fog of battle that would make the crucial decisions about life and death. Historians have devoted little attention to these men. Although there are excellent unit histories, little has been written about the men who trained and led these units. It has been stated that Nance showed an outstanding ability to lead, and that his command followed him never questioning his skill. His ability to advance under the pressure of combat and his ability to extract his command from destruction never faltered. His mental capacity was always sharp and his decisions toward his command sound. Nance was a strict disciplinarian who had a demanding nature.
Colonel James Nance was ultimately killed at the “Battle of the Wilderness,” and the camp was named in his honor.
NOTE: Included is a photocopy of Col. James D. Nance.
