Abstract:

The 26th North Carolina was one of the most famous regiments of the Civil War. The officers and men participated in many hard-fought battles and sustained their greatest losses at Gettysburg. In a charge on the first day fourteen color bearers were shot down, including Colonels Burgwyn and Lane. When it surrendered at Appomattox, 120 men were left from a regiment of 1,900.
