Abstract:
Goldsboro in Wayne County was a major rail center during the Civil War. Three major rail lines converged there -- the Wilmington and Weldon, the Atlantic and North Carolina, and the North Carolina Railroad. Joyner recounts the closing days of the Civil War when General Sherman's troops, 110,000 strong, occupied the area around Goldsboro before moving onto Raleigh and the occupation by Union troops after the end of hostilities.
