-Hi!
NORTH CAROLINA IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES.
UKPOKT ol' COMMITTER.'
I'jiuii the monument which 1 1 1 i ~ Stale lias erected at the
west trout of I lie Capitol in Raleigh in perpetual memory of
the fidelity to duty of the sons she sent to the front in
IS(il-4i;> is inscribed the legend —
“KmsT at Bethel,
Last at Appomattox.’’
Upon the cover of the live volumes of “North Carolina
Regimental Histories lstil-'llo” which, compiled by veterans
who were actual participants in the events they narrated,
have been published and issued by authority of the State,
there are stamped the above words, with the insertion be¬
tween the first and last lines of the following:
"Uaktii est to the Front at
Сетту*г.гк<; ахи
at
ClIICKAMAPOA."
These claims were not made as n matter of boast. They
were merely a statement, of historical facts, amply supported
by the testimony of eye-witnesses and documentary evidence
contained in the volumes in question. There was no inten¬
tion to assert that the soldiers from North Carolina were
braver than those from our sister Southern States, but:
merely that, the fortune of war having furnished them the
occasion, they were n/iid! In I hr o/i/iorlunlt;/ — only this, and
nothing more.
"Tliey saw tlieiv duty, a dead-sure tliinir,
And went fur it. then and Ihnr."
' Report of committee appointed by the State Literary and Historical Association,
November 12. 1903.
