Seward, Hildegarde Willis Anderson

Abstract:

Seward describes his great-grandfather, Joseph Glover, crossing Union lines to enlist with the Union army. Glover did not support North Carolina’s secession and walked at night towards the northern line to escape Confederate conscription. Glover was stationed at Fort Macon with Union troops during the war and remained in Beaufort after the war.
