John Pelham (September 7, 1838 – March 17, 1863)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=36546 )〕 was an artillery officer who served with the Confederate cavalry under J.E.B. Stuart during the American Civil War. Dubbed "The Gallant Pelham"〔 for his military prowess and personal courage, Pelham revolutionized the usage of light artillery as a mobile arm of the cavalry. ==Early life==
Pelham was the third of seven children, with five brothers and a sister Betty,〔 born to Dr. Atkinson and Martha Pelham (née McGehee 〔) at his grandparents' home〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=36547 )〕 along Cane Creek near Alexandria, Alabama. He grew up on the family's plantation, and learned to raise horses at a young age. On one occasion, he rode a neighbor's milk cow until it ran dry, prompting a lecture to only ride bulls in the future, if he were feeling adventurous.〔 In 1856, local Congressman Sampson Willis Harris secured an appointment for Pelham to the United States Military Academy at West Point (N.Y.), at the request of A. J. Walker.〔Brewer, Wilson, np.〕
