.CIVIL WAR INCIDENTS.
As Told by in Old Veteran, from
Memory.
Old Fort, N.C.,
' Sept. 22, 08.
I 'have been asked by' an old
comrade to, contribute a series of
articles from my recollections of the
events that transpired during the
war of '61-65. I fear that it will
not come up to the expectations of
my friends, but I will try to eive
it as I remember it. ComDanv A
-'and N. C, Kegi incut wtjs the first
company organized in Caldwell
County, and was. mustered in for
twelve months service. The en
rollment for the company beean
sometime about the middle rf
April 1861. I do not remember
who was first on the roll, but I
think I was about the eichth nn
the roll.
The election for officers took
place in front of the jail about
where the livery stable now stands.
The officers were choseu by the
men rallying around their respec
tive candidates. W. F. Jones was
the Elver, fired several sheila
over our camp and created unit
lot of excitement in the camp, as
we were called out and put into
line for what, we did not know, but
itwasourfirst experience of being
unaer nre. sometime after we were
called upon to enlist for three years
for the war and thus ended our
first experience of the war. Some
sixty of us men were satisfied to
try it still longer, so we re-enlisted
and obtained furlough to come
home for a while. When we re
turned to camp we found our regi
ment had fallen back to Freder-1
lcksburg. So our Company was
re-organized with Thomas D
Jones, as our Captain, J. M. Isbei
1st Lieut; J. B. Clarke, 2nd Lient;
J. llliam Suddarth, ,3rd Lieut.
V e did not long remain at Freder
lcksburg, bnt were sent to Rich
mond and then to Yorktown.
In my next I will try to te
you of our stay in the trenches of
Yorktown and our falling back to
Kichmond. These articles are in
tended to remind my old comrades
of our common trials and dangers

I fell back I passed Mike Criges,
who was badly wounded. After
I had gotten back some five hun
