Most of the men who escaped from "the bloody lane" were shot rurning out. 1 witnessed the above during the melee. . " . i ; . Yours truly, A. S. Morrison, Company C, 14th N. C. A letter from A. D. Ayling, Adjt. General of New Hamp shire, to Col.

The flag is bordered with a yellow silk fringe. On one side is painted the seal and coat of arms of North Carolina, on the other the words 'Fourth Regiment, North Carolina Volunteers.'
