The Daily Dispatch: February 13, 1862., [Electronic resource], article 18 (search)
w's regiment of North Carolina troops, pretty well equipped, we believe, has been stationed on the Island for some time. At the time of the battle it had about 600 or 700 effective men. After the removal of Col. Wright's Georgia regiment from the Island, Col. Jordan's regiment was sent there from Fort Hill. At the time of the battle, owing to sickness and other causes, it could muster only about 400 or 500 effective men, and they were armed with the old flint-lock musket. Besides these there were some 200 of the 17th regiment, (Col Martin's) the remnant that were on furlough at the time of the taking of Hatteras. To these were added reinforcements from Gen. Wise's Legion, about the time the battle commenced, making about 2,300 or 2,500. Who was in command, as yet we have no means of knowing. Gen. Wise was sick and not on the Island. Col. Shaw was the senior Colonel of the North Carolina troops. Whether any one else was placed in command by Gen. Wise, we have not learned.
