Caleb Glover manservant to Confederate Colonel Olin Dantzler of the 22nd SC. Infantry. Caleb accompanied his master to the war and faithfully brought his body home after the Colonel was killed in Virginia, June 2, 1864. From a report on the fight by Union Colonel Joseph R. Hawley of the 7th Conn. Volunteers:


A detachment of Colonel Spear’s dismounted cavalry came to our assistance, as did Captain Pride, First Connecticut Heavy Artillery, with some of his force belonging in Redan No. 3. He was also ordered to open with canister or grape on the woods directly in front of him, which he did. The enemy’s forces on that side then appeared to be the Twenty-second South Carolina, for in this combined resistance Colonel Dantzler was killed, a number of his men killed and wounded, a lieutenant and 23 men captured, and the rest repulsed.
