First Bull Run Longstreet's Bee's and Bartow's Brigades

[Hester]

Does anyone know who took command of Bee's and Bartow's brigades after they died? And Longstreet's after he got promoted.

Bee: Colonel States Rights Gist. He was acting as a volunteer aide to Bee and seems to have been appointed colonel when Bee and 2 of his 4 regimental commanders died. Shortly after Bull Run, Brigadier General William H.C. Whiting took command.

Bartow: Colonel L.J. Gartrell of the 7th Georgia. He was the senior officer after Bartow was killed. Shortly after, Brigadier General Samuel Jones took over.

Longstreet: Colonel James L. Kemper of the 7th Virginia.
