Charles S. Wainwright
Charles Shiels Wainwright (December 31, 1826 – September 13, 1907) was a produce farmer in the state of New York and an artillery officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He played an important role in the defense of Cemetery Hill during the July 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, where his artillery helped repel a Confederate attack. His extensive diary kept during the war is considered to be among the finest such documents from the Civil War period.〔Eicher.〕
==Early life==
Wainwright was born December 31, 1826, in New York City, the brother of future doctor and Union general, William P. Wainwright. As a young man, he helped run his father's sprawling farm, "The Meadows," in the Hudson Valley, delivering produce to markets in the city.〔Cox, p. 84.〕 He was a prosperous farmer in 1860, when the census was taken. His residence was listed as Rhinebeck, New York.〔U.S. Census of 1860.〕
He left behind an elderly father and two sisters when he joined the army in the early autumn of 1861 at the age of 34. His diary was begun on October 1 of that year.
