North Carolina contributed more than 70 regiments to Confederate service during the Civil War, but only four of those regiments were permanently assigned to service in the Army of Tennessee. The Fifty-Eighth North Carolina Troops, hailing primarily from western North Carolina, fought in battles such as Chickamauga, Resaca and Bentonville. This account follows the soldiers from antebellum life, to conscription, to battlefield, to post-war life.
“Hardy has produced a good account of the regiment’s service with due attention to the men in the ranks. His following the veterans into the postwar years is especially welcome. Hardy’s research is impressive”—Civil War News; “unveils the inner world of a troublesome Tar Heel regiment”—The Journal of Southern History; “this is a finely crafted regimental history”—Blue & Gray Magazine.
