368 Chroneles of the Cape Fear River

Virginia since July, 1861. In this regiment he was commis-
sioned first heutenant of Company E. The regiment was part
of Ripley’s brigade, D. H. Hill’s division, and served with great
credit in the Battles of Boonsboro, or South Mountain, Sharps-
burg, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. At the last battle,
while participating in the gallant assault by Jackson’s corps,
he was seriously wounded, a shot passing through his left hip.
This caused his entire disability until the spring of 1864, when
he attempted to reénter the service, but soon found it impossible
to undertake duty in the field. Returning to Wilmington, he
was assigned to duty in the office of the provost marshal for
several months. He made two more attempts to enter the field,
but without success.

Charles W. Yates enlisted in 1862.in an independent cavalry
company organized from several counties, which became Com-
pany E, of the Forty-first Regiment, North Carolina Troops.
During nearly the whole of his service he acted as courier for
Col. John A. Baker and his successor, Col. Roger Moore.
Among the cavalry engagements in which he took part were
those at New Bern, Kinston, Hanover Courthouse, Reams Sta-
tion, Ashland, Chaffin’s Farm, Drewry’s Bluff, and Petersburg.
He was slightly wounded in the skirmish near Kinston; and
just after the fall of New Bern in June, 1862, he was captured
and imprisoned in a jail at that place several months, and after-
wards held nearly two months at Governor’s Island and Fort
Delaware before he was exchanged. During the retreat at
Appomattox Courthouse, he was captured in the fight at Namo-
zine Church, April 6, and after that was a prisoner of war at
Point Lookout until June, 1865.

The War Between the States

ROSTER OF CAPE FEAR CAMP, U. ©. V.

Doubtless many examples of faithful, efficient, and ever
heroic service have been overlooked in the preparation of this
record, although diligent inquiries have been made in order that
it might be as nearly complete as possible. To this end I have
been permitted to copy the roster of Cape Fear Camp, U. C. V.,
although it may be said that it comprises only a part of that

great number of Wilmington men who served the Confederacy
in the War between the States.
