From the South Carolina Encyclopedia:
Following South Carolina’s secession in December 1860, McCrady enlisted in Confederate service as a captain. Promoted to lieutenant colonel, McCrady was seriously wounded at Second Manassas (August 29–30, 1862) but returned to active duty to fight at Fredericksburg (December 1862). Injured in 1863, he left combat duty and assumed command of an instructional camp at Madison, Florida, in 1864. After the Civil War, McCrady served as major general in the South Carolina militia and worked with the Survivors’ Association to collect records of South Carolina’s involvement in the war.
