Abstract:
Providing military leaders was one of the many contributions North Carolina made to the Confederate cause. Almost three dozen men served as generals of various ranks. Barefoot focuses on two of them - Robert F. Hoke and Stephen Dodson Ramseur. Born four days and thirty miles apart in 1837, they were friends for life, but each met different fates. Hoke survived the war as the state's top general, but Ramseur was killed in the fighting in the Shenandoah Valley.

Abstract:
University of Virginia professor Gary Gallagher writes about Stephen Dodson Ramseur and his love Ellen “Nellie†Richmond. Ramseur grew up in Lincolnton and attended the United States Military Academy. He was a member of the last full class to graduate before the Civil War. When war broke out Ramseur resigned his commission and joined the Confederate Army. He quickly rose in rank, becoming the youngest West Point graduate to become a Confederate major general. Ramseur fought at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, Shenandoah Valley, and Cedar Creek. Ramseur married Ellen in 1863. On September 16, 1864, he received word that Ellen had given birth to a child, but the message did not describe the baby's sex or health. Ramseur never found out, he was killed in battle two days later at Cedar Creek. Ellen remained in deep mourning the remainder of her life
