Revisiting North Carolina Civil War County Histories.


This past weekend, I had a chance to pick up Thomas D. Perry's "North Carolina Has Done Nobly": Civil War Stories from Mount Airy and Surry County. At some point (hopefully soon) I look forward to reading it. I thought this might be a good time to update a list of counties with Civil War-related histories. There have been a few additions over the past few years (2008) since I first posted on this topic.

So, I thought I would post this updated list in a different format, just to illustrate how much work there is on this subject that still needs to be done. I have only included books solely dedicated to the War. If there is anything I have missed, please drop me a line (or comment here) and help me get the list as up-to-date as possible.
