The 30th North Carolina Infantry was involved in most of the major
battles in Virginia from the Seven Days through the surrender at
Appomattox, and saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the American
Civil War. Two-thirds of these men volunteered early; the others
were enlisted at the point of a bayonet. Their casualty rate was
high, the rate of death from disease was higher and the desertion
and AWOL rate was higher still. What was the war actually like for
these men? What was their economic status? To what extent were they
involved in the institution of slavery? What were their lives like
in the Army? What did they believe they were fighting for and did
those views change over time? This book answers those questions and
depicts Civil War soldiers as they were, rather than as appendages
to famous generals or symbols of myth. It focuses on the realities
of the men themselves, not their battles. In addition to the
author's personal collection of letters and other contemporary
records, it draws upon newly discovered letters, diaries, memoirs,
census records, and published works.
