Abstract:

The Battle of Bentonville was the largest land battle fought in North Carolina during the American Civil War and the only full-scale Confederate attempt to stop General Sherman after Atlanta. This article discusses the battle and the Harper House, which served as a field hospital during the battle and is now open to the public as a museum.
