REGIMENT.

FIRST ARTILLERY—COMPANY I.

By T. C. MOORE, First Lizurenant Company I.

I desire to add the following to the brief sketch of Com-
pany I, Fourth North Carolina, which is to be found in
Vol. 1 of this work, at page 582. I have lost my notebook
of the movements of the battery and must write mostly from
memory.

Company I, Tenth Regiment State Troops, Light Artil-
lery, was organized in May, 1861, at Wilmington, with Sam-
uel R. Bunting as Captain; L. H. Bowden, First Lieutenant ;
D. E. Bunting, Second Lieutenant, and James F’. Post, Jun-
ior Second Lieutenant, and myself as First Sergeant. We
were ordered into camp at the Marine Hospital for field
drill; then to the old Costin House. From there we were
ordered to Wrightsville and Masonboro Sound as coast guard.
We remained there until ordered to New Bern 13 March,
1862, to take part in the fight there. Arrived at Kinston
and met the troops falling back from New Bern. After that,
were put on detached service between Kinston and New Bern,

near Kinston, under General Robert Ransom. Then in the
