Been a while, but as many of you know, I’ve been a little busy. I will start off with this: I spoke to the Ross Camp, SCV, in Charlotte last evening. At my table was a 95 year old gentleman, who, in 1929, was a boy scout in Charlotte during the United Confederate Veteran Reunion. He recalled helping the old Confederate veterans around town, and on and off street cars. It was a real treat. On to the news.
The project by the state to get a count of the number of North Carolina soldiers who died during the war is still getting press. Check out this piece in the Fayetteville Observer here.
A portion of Cross Creek Cemetery in Fayetteville, where the first Confederate Monument in the state was erected, will be getting a new fence. Learn more here.
A brief mention of a few North Carolinians that served in the 1st United State Colored Troops, can be found in this article from the Charleston Post and Courier.
