The 30th North Carolina Infantry is the story of civilian-soldiers
and their families during the Civil War. This narrative follows a
regiment of Carolinians from their mustering-in ceremony to the
war's final moments at Appomattox. These Tar Heels had the unique
distinction of shooting at Abraham Lincoln on July 12, 1864, when
the President stood upon the ramparts of Ft. Stevens, outside
Washington D. C., as well as earning the right to say they fired
the last regimental volley of the Army of Northern Virginia. The
Tar Heels tell their stories through the use of over 2,000 quotes,
enabling us to hear what they experienced and felt. The 30th North
Carolina follows these Carolinians as they changed from exhilarated
volunteers to battle-hardened veterans. They rushed to join the
regiment, proclaiming, ""we will whip the Yankees, or give them a
right to a small part of our soil, say 2 feet by 6 feet."" Later,
once the Tar Heels experienced combat, their attitudes changed. One
rifleman recorded; ""we came to a Yankee field hospital...we moved
piles of arms, feet, hands, all amputated from hundreds of wounded
human bodies."" Then, by 1865, the regiment's survivors reflected
upon what they had experienced and questioned, ""I wonder--when and
if I return home--will I be able to fit in?"" The 30th North
Carolina is an intensely personal account based upon the
Carolinians' letters, journals, memoirs, official reports,
personnel records, and family histories. It is a powerful account
of courage and sacrifice.
