Abstract:
The coastal sounds of North Carolina made ideal anchorages for vessels looking to avoid Atlantic storms and were used by Confederate forces as a base for naval operations. Adjacent terrestrial defenses were constructed to protect these anchorages, but were poorly manned and supplied. In 1861, the Union led an expedition against Hatteras Inlet fortifications, followed by attacks on Roanoke Island, New Bern, and Fort Macon. The fall of these fortifications increased Union strength in Eastern North Carolina and provided Union forces with protected naval bases they would utilize through the end of the war.

Abstract:
Inspired by Isaac Taylor’s service, this article addresses the history of Company K of the 2nd North Carolina Cavalry. Company K formed in 1861, when it moved to Granville County for incorporation into the 2nd North Carolina Cavalry and formal training. In December, the regiment was assigned to the District of the Pamlico, with winter quarters erected at New Bern. Following the loss of the camp at the associated battle, the regiment retreated and engaged in skirmishes at various locations throughout the state. In August, 1862, the company was sent to picket the Roanoke River. The following fall, the regiment joined the Army of Northern Virginian and fought at Fredericksburg and, later, Gettysburg. In 1864, the Company participated in the siege of Petersburg which lasted until April 1865.
