The 35th Georgia remained behind at Harper's Ferry on Sept. 17th. to guard the captured stores, when A.P. Hill took the rest of his division to Antietam. Official records do not specify who was the commander of the 35th on that day but it was more than likely Lt. Col. Holt. He didn't make Colonel until the following Nov.
