628 NortuH CaroLina Troops, 1861-65. The Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons of North Carolina in the field and in hospitals in other States did excellent service, wherever they were on duty and were competent for their positions and served as faithfully and bravely as the soldiers behind the guns, which is the highest praise that can be be- stowed; since every one knows of the bravery and fighting qualities of the North Carolina troops; for whenever General Lee made a desperate assault upon the enemy’s line or fortifi- cations and other troops failed to carry the stronghold, he called on the North Carolina troops to make the charge and they never failed, him. I have written the above from memory alone, more than thirty-six years after the close of the war, and did not have a single memorandum or report of any kind to refer to. At this late date, it is impossible to remember everything and this is the reason why the names of all the assistant sur- geons on duty in the hospitals are not recorded here. I have appended from Moore’s Roster of the North Caro- lina Troops the names of the Surgeons and Assistant Sur- geons on duty with the regiments, the report of the appoint- ment of many of them and the date when commissioned and have made several additions and corrections from the Regi- mental Histories in these volumes. This is all that could be done, for there was no possibility of communicating with them because very many, if not most all of them, “have crossed over the river and are resting in the shade of the trees.” Prrer KE.
