Randolph Hornets in the Civil War: A History and Roster of Company M, 22nd North Carolina Regiment
- Used Book in Good Condition
The turbulent years of 1861â€“1865 were especially so for the people of Randolph County, North Carolina. Sentiment to stay in the Union was high, and remained so throughout the war, yet hundreds of Randolph County boys marched off to defend their native soil, many of course never to return. "The Randolph Hornets," Company M, 22nd Regiment North Carolina Troops, were a company of such men, who earned a reputation for their grit and determination in battle.
This book conveys the history of the Randolph Hornets and of the companyâ€™s individual members through both official and personal accounts of the Civil War. Articles written by Sergeant John T. Turner in 1914 recalling his experiences with the company are included as well as an in-depth history of the company battle flag, its capture and its return to the county. A complete roster of the company includes genealogical information and short biographies for several of the men. The final chapter provides information about the local reenactment group based on the company, whose performances provide a sense of the hardships of 19th century military life.
