Chapter 1: First and last situation in the beginning preparing for war the dual Organizations of North Carolina troops, State and Confederate. When the women of North Carolina, after years of unwearying effort to erect a State monument to the Confederate dead, saw their hopes realized in the beautiful monument now standing in Capitol Square, Raleigh, they caused to be chiseled on one of its faces this inscription: First at Bethel: Last at Appomattox. This terse sentence epitomizes North Carolina's devotion to the Confederacy. From the hopeful 10th day of June, 1861, when her First regiment, under Col. D. H. Hill, defeated, in the first serious action of the Civil war, General Pierce's attack at Bethel, to the despairing 9th day of April, 1865, when Gen. W. R. Cox's North Carolina brigade of Gen. Bryan Grimes' division fired into an overwhelming foe the last volley of the army of Northern Virginia, North Carolina's time, her resources, her energies, her young men, he

n the night of the 4th, flooding the low swampy road, and part of the trains were stalled on the ground where they stood during the night. From Manassas to Appomattox. At daylight on the 5th, Anderson, of Longstreet's corps, seeing the condition of things and believing that a struggle would be necessary to save the wagon shed forward nolens volens to its relief. The other [two] regiments, seeing the confusion of movements and of orders, failed to go forward. From Manassas to Appomattox. But these regiments were not as entirely inactive as General Longstreet and others have thought. General Hill says that, seeing that the woods on the left wergure on his right, the discomfiture of his left. But reading between the lines, the highest compliment was for the two Confederate regiments. From Manassas to Appomattox. Draper, the New York historian, adds: The manner in which the Confederate rear guard turned upon their pursuers at Williamsburg and gave them a bloody chec

med the opportunity. Each, reports Hood, the senior commander, seemed to vie with the other in efforts to plunge the deeper into the ranks of the enemy. Advance and Retreat, p. 34. Longstreet comments: A fierce struggle of thirty minutes gave them advantage, which they followed through the dark to the base of the high ground held by bayonets and batteries innumerable, as compared with their limited ranks. Their task accomplished, they were halted to wait the morrow. Manassas to Appomattox, p. 184. Law's men drove off three guns and captured one. Law states in his report that this gun was fought until its discharges blackened the faces of his advancing men. What higher praise, exclaims Ropes, could be given, either to the gunners or their antagonists? The Army under Pope, p. 108. That night, General Lee, knowing that the forces would again join battle in the morning, readjusted his entire line. All of Jackson's men were moved into their original and strong posi

ete revelation of his adversary's plans and purposes as no other commander, in the history of war, has ever received at a time so momentous. From Manassas to Appomattox. A copy of Lee's celebrated order No. 191, frequently known as the lost dispatch, was found by Private Mitchell, of the Twenty-seventh Indiana regiment, and aters, 4 were killed, 5 wounded, and the remaining one struck slightly. All of Jackson's and D. H. Hill's troops engaged suffered proportionately. Manassas to Appomattox, p. 243. As Mansfield's men of the Twelfth corps deployed, Hooker's corps, worn from its struggle with Jackson, withdrew up the Hagerstown pike. General Lonbattery and the ground that had been lost on the right, before the slow advancing night dropped her mantle upon this field of seldom equaled strife. Manassas to Appomattox, pp. 261, 262.

military lines of the Federal forces. To collect and transmit this to accessible points for the Confederates, it was necessary to advance our divisions so as to cover the country, and to hold the Federal forces in and about their fortified positions while our trains were at work. To that end I moved with the troops in Virginia across the Blackwater to close lines about the forts around Suffolk, and ordered the troops along our line in North Carolina to a like advance. From Manassas to Appomattox, p. 324. In a letter to General Lee, General Longstreet stated to him his plans: In arraying our forces to protect supply trains in the eastern counties of North Carolina, we had hoped to make a diversion upon New Bern and surprise the garrison at Washington. The high waters have washed away the bridges and detained us a week, and it is probable the enemy has discovered our movements. Rebellion Records, XVIII, 951. So, in pursuance of this policy, while the Confederate wagon trai

The limits of this sketch of the North Carolina troops forbid a detailed account of the services of the four regiments in the Tennessee and Georgia campaignna troops bore their full share of deadly battle. At Rives' salient, on the day of evacuation of Petersburg, at Southerland's Station, at Sailor's creek, on to Appomattox, the North Carolina infantry were as a wall of fire to the great commander whose peerless worth they reverenced. At Chamberlin's run, so glorious to the North s of Carolina's batteries had added to the destruction worked. But all their matchless heroism, combined with that of their dauntless comrades from sister States, could no longer delay the hour of humiliation. And at Appomattox, on the 9th of April, the remnant of as peerless an army as ever stepped under banners surrendered.

bless gallant old North Carolina. Cox led the division at the last charge at Appomattox, and had ordered his brigade to cover the retreat, when he was recalled to thhting in the trenches around Petersburg, and was included in the surrender at Appomattox. After the close of hostilities General Johnston practiced law at Charlotte in the groin which disabled him for some time, but he was with his brigade at Appomattox. After the surrender he made his way, penniless, to his childhood home, and Federal lines partly formed in his rear. He was with the army to the end at Appomattox, and then returned to his native State, penniless, but enshrined in the hearte. He was again in battle at Five Forks, and finally surrendered with Lee at Appomattox. After the close of hostilities he resumed the practice of law and engaged ith Carolinians, he fought with valor at Five Forks, and during the retreat to Appomattox. After the close of hostilities he addressed himself with the same activity
