A sketch of Pemberton can be found in the index, p. 983 of Shelby Foote (1963, 1986), The Civil War: a narrative - Fredericksburg to Meridian vol II ISBN 0-394-74621-X 988 pages. There is material on his icy and correct relationship with the Union and Confederate officers. --Ancheta Wis (talk) 18:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"He was not related to John Pemberton, a Confederate soldier who later invented Coca-Cola."

This is what the article on General Pemberton says. However, the article on Pemberton the inventor says: "Pemberton was the nephew of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, native John C. Pemberton, the Confederate commander in 1863 at Vicksburg, Mississippi." This sentence is sourced to this page: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/PEMBERTON/2004-01/1073281384

Is this a reliable source? If so, the information on General Pemberton should be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mellophonius (talk • contribs) 03:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How could "Thomas McKean (Signer of the Declarartion of Independence)" have protested the burial in PA. if Pemberton died in the 1870's??? McKean would have HAD to be at least 130 years old at the time.! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul r wood (talk • contribs) 05:17, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"He was appointed a lieutenant colonel in the Confederate Army on March 28, and was made assistant adjutant general of the forces around and in the Southern capital of Richmond, Virginia, on April 29. He was promoted to colonel on May 8, and the next day was assigned to the Virginia Provisional Army Artillery, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Pemberton was then appointed a major in the Confederate Army Artillery on June 15 and quickly promoted to brigadier general two days later"

We are saying he was made an LTC, then promoted to COL, then reduced to LTC, then reduced again to MAJ, then promoted to BG? That seems nuts to me. Is this a case to too many editors making soup? 71.171.89.90 (talk) 15:39, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it can be verified. See Eicher, John H., and David J. Eicher. Civil War High Commands. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2001. ISBN 978-0-8047-3641-1. Page 423. The explanation is that he was first appointed as a lieutenant colonel, as a staff officer, in the Regular Confederate States Army {Army of the Confederate States, ACSA) and then promoted to Colonel. Then he moved over to the Provisional Army of Virginia as a lieutenant colonel. This army was organized as a state establishment that was something more than a militia and which would become part of the Confederate Army, it was not the Provisional Army of the Confederacy and did not become part of it until after the May 23, 1861 Virginia secession vote. After the Virginia Provisional Army was absorbed into the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, PACS, Pemberton returned to that establishment in a line position as major of artillery, rather than as a staff officer. His promotion to brigadier general soon followed. The Provisional Army of Virginia and a few other preliminary military establishments in the Confederate States need better coverage. For now, see Battle of Gloucester Point (1861) background section and Battle of Sewell's Point, introduction, background and notes. Donner60 (talk) 03:25, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I made a few edits to this paragraph in the article which I hope clarifies this sequence of appointments. Donner60 (talk) 10:03, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
