     Raleigh's occupation: Lawyer.. Raleigh Travers Daniel entered the Confederate States Army as a Drill Master for the 3rd Alabama Regiment, Infantry. He was commissioned Captain in the 14th Alabama and was severely wounded whild fighting with great gallantry in the battles around Richmond.

Brig. General Armistead, C.S.A., in his official report of the battle of Malvern Hill, July 1, 1862, says: "Lieut. R. T. Daniel, Jr., adjutant of the 5th KY., reported to me on the 27th ult. as volunteer aide; he rendered valuable service in a bold reconnaissance, and for his subsequent gallant conduct I have to refer you to the report of Maj. Cabell, 38th Va."

Major Cabell, in his report of same action, noticed the fall of Colour Sgt. Tarpley and five others, each of whom successively grasped the colours of the 38th Va. and bore them in the charge, and each of whom were severely wounded or killed. He then adds: "Lt. Col. Whittle then took the couours and gallantly bore them forward, when he too, whild considerably in advance of the reg't, was severely wounded. Capt. R. T. Daniel, Adjt. 5th Ky. Reg., being on furlough, volunteered for the fight and was assigned to the command of Co. F., grasped the colours and cooly and calmly waving them, appeared not to be moving a muscle save the motion of his arm. He was calling on the company which he so well commanded to rally around them, when he fell pierced with three balls. As he fell he drove the staff into the ground, still holding on to it until it was taken from him by Col. Edmonds, in whose hands the staff was soon after shot with grape and literally slivered into fragments. The colours were born from the field by the only remaining colour corporal, Wm. M. Bohannon, upon a musket, and upon examination were found to have been pierced in 50 places."

Colonel E. C. Edmonds of the 38th Va. says of the same incident: "Capt. Daniel (volunteer officer commandeing Co. F) took the colours (after Col. Whittle was wounded), and he too fell, severely wounded in three places, and was borne from the field." * * * "Volunteer Capt. R. T. Daniel performed every duty in the most creditable manner, though among strangers. His deeds won their confidence and respect and attested his gallantry. I observed him particularly when waving the colours, and urging the men forward; not a muscle or nerve betraying a want of firmness; calmness and composure were expressed in every lineament of his countenance, and there stood like a veteran until pierced three times by the enemy's balls. Too much praise cannot be given to this brave young officer, who thus showed his willingness to serve his country and determination to expell the enemies of her peace and dignity." (Off. Rec. Union and Confederate Armies, XI, pt. II., pp. 819, 824-827.) Raleigh was born on 26 July 1832.¹ Raleigh graduated at Lexington, Virginia, in 1849. Raleigh died on 11 February 1918 at age 85.¹
