Abstract:
Lincolnton sent three generals to the Civil War--Robert F. Hoke, Robert D. Johnson, and Stephen D. Ramseur. All three were wounded and one died from his wounds. Hoke was wounded at Chancellorsville, Johnson was wounded at Seven Pines and Spotsylvania, and Ramseur was wounded at Malvern Hill and fatally wounded at Cedar Creek.
