George Allen Gilreath
George Allen Gilreath (September 26, 1834 – July 3, 1863) commanded the North Carolina 55th Regiment which advanced the farthest during Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during the American Civil War. He was killed in action during the charge which became known as the high-water mark of the Confederacy.
==Early years==
The birthplace of Captain George Allen Gilreath, known as Old Gilreath, stretched across the Brushy Mountains of Wilkes County, North Carolina. George was born September 26, 1834 to Noah Gilreath, Sr. (1800–1853) and Elizabeth Allen of Wilkes County. He grew up on a family plantation where his grandfather Alexander Gilreath, Esq. (1755–1853) had settled in 1776. His grandfather, a Revolutionary War Veteran, operated a grist mill and blacksmith shop and was active in many of the affairs of the county. He served as tax collector, constable, justice of the peace, postmaster, and school board member.
George was educated in the mountain schools and learned management skills on the family plantation where about a dozen slaves worked the land. In his early 20s, he left North Carolina and headed West where he bought land in Hempsted Co., Arkansas. On July 30, 1857 he married Lurana Gilbert but when his wife and young child died, he came back to Wilkes County.
