My great grandfather×3 fought with the 27th North Carolina and was eventually wounded at Sharpsburg (Antietum) survived the war and eventually passed at home from complications of his wounds in Fayetteville NC August 7th, 1881 he was only 41 yrs old, I still live within walking distance of the property where his and my mother's childhood homes. Have always been facinated with the civil war because of that the war history in this area and state.
Gg great granddad served with 51st regiment co D NC Troops 61 through 65 ,wounded cold harbor 1 June 64 . Would love to learn more about this regiment. Great information and thank y’all.
I am confused by the comment regarding Joseph Davis. Jefferson Davis did have an older brother named Joseph who looked out for him and even gave him land in Mississippi, but this Joseph was 23 years older than Jefferson and would have been 75 at the time the war began. I think the presenter meant to refer to Joseph R. Davis, President Davis' nephew who was a Confederate General in charge of the 10th Mississippi Volunteers and later served on his staff.
On the day of Pickett's failed charge the cannon fire could be heard from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. Take a look at the distance between these cities. The powder expended to make a sound that loud had to be incredible at Gettysburg. Our oldest fighting man was the town constable who was a veteran of the War of 1812. He suffered a wound and visited by President Lincoln when he came to dedicate the National Cemetery.
I am from North Carolina give them that Rebel Yell my accessories served with 12th North Carolina he was wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville May 2nd 1863 return to service January of 64 he missed Gettysburg because he was wounded
@@waynesigmon5628 My great great great uncle Sergeant Thomas McCracken served in both the 16th North Carolina Infantry and 69th North Carolina Infantry Thomas Legion His brother Joseph served in the 25th North Carolina Infantry before he fell mortally wounded at Sharpsburg
My great-great-grandfather Neill Wilkinson, for whom I was named, was killed at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. How might I find out more? Where was he? When and how did his remains get back to Mecklenberg County to be buried?
Just did a bit of searching. He was in Company B of the 53rd NC. The 53rd entered service in 1862. He was 33 or 34 years old when killed at Gettysburg. His brother James would die the following year at Plymouth, NC. He was in the 21st NC. Hope this helps.
Lee had access to parts of Stuarts Confederate Cavalry on July 1, 1863. They were at Gettysburg. Lee intentionally did not use then for reasons best explained by Lee.
Thanks to the 17th North Carolina Regiment for shooting Stonewall Jackson on May 2, 1863 at Chancellorsville. You fellas deserved medals. Thank you for your service.

I don't know if it's the accent but it's not general "E-well" it's "U-well" best I can describe it phonetically.
While I learned some new things from this presentation, sadly the whole thing seemed rather rushed.Time constraints I guess.
