Wikipedia Overview

A. P. Hill's Light Division was an infantry division in General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia during the American Civil War. Originally including six brigades, the division's first commander starting May 27, 1862 was then Major General A. P. Hill. After the reorganization of the Army of Northern Virginia after Chancellorsville, Hill got command of the newly created Third Corps. The Light Division was broken up, and four brigades went to the newly created Division of Major General Henry Heth, while the remaining two brigades went to the Division of Major General William Dorsey Pender, later commanded by Major General and Cadmus M. Wilcox from August 3, 1863 since Pender had been mortally wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg. Both Heth and Wilcox commanded the two divisions containing the former Light Division brigades until the final surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865.
