Reading: 55th North Carolina
in the Civil War: A History And Roster. Description: Drawing
on letters, memoirs, diaries and recollections, it depicts the Civil War through the eyes of the soldiers, enhancing modern-day
understanding of what it was like to fight for the Confederate States of America.
While providing information on the battles in which the 55th North Carolina took part (including
the little known Suffolk campaign), the main focus of the
work is the everyday life of the men—the ever-present influence of politics and religion as well as the effects of disease
and combat. Appendices provide a breakdown of the companies in the regiment; the regimental roster; a list of men who died
of disease; and a record of the men from the 55th who were killed in battle. Contemporary photographs are also included.
