Seth M. Timberlake joined the
Botts Greys, a Volunteer Company from
Charles Town, at the beginning of the war
in /61. At the 1st battle of Manassas,
the company was standing in line with
orders to hold their fire when a Yankee
on their flank fired and wounded my friend
who at once declared he would kill that
Yank-orders or no orders- and blazed away
dropping the Yank in his tracks.
Like all of the name that I
ever knew he was perfectly fearless
and soon acquired the name of
"The fighting Seargeant" being Orderly Sergt.
of our Company which he joined in
April 1862 having been transferred from
the Infantry. About twenty of the
Company made a raid on Fort Royal
in /62 and he encountered one of the
enemy who put up a game fight.
Standing in a yard near the road he
refused to surrender. Seth rode up
to the fence and they fired six shots at each
other, the Yankee being knocked out at
the sixth round and Seth's horse, receiving
a mortal wound. This was an ideal war
horse that he had gotten from me and no one
knew that he had been wounded until
he staggered and fell a short distance
from the place where the encounter occured.

At the battle of the Wilderness
in /64 he was charging through
the forest when his horse was shot
and fell, pinning him to the ground.
A Yankee who had been hiding behind
a tree came forward and declared he
was going to kill him and was getting
ready to carry out his threat, when Lt. Randolph
of our Regt. came thundering up
just in time to save his life by shooting the Yank.
At the battle of Upperville,
Col. O'Ferrall afterwards Gov. of Va., was shot through the body,
when Seth promptly put him on his horse and carried
him off the field. O'Ferrall was apparently
dead and he afterwards declared that
the man who saved him had only one
chance out of a hundred for his own life.

He was a daring horseman and
on one occasion when his charger-Pumpkins
- took the bit in his teeth and carried him
tearing through the Yankee lines, he put
spurs to the horse when a dozen bluecoats
rode after him, and coming to a
wide ditch that no ordinary horse
would think of jumping, went flying across,
the Yanks halting in amazement and swearing
there was no use trying to catch that crazy rebel.
Ours was B. Company 12th Va. Cavalry.
