Pvt. A. J. Daniel 61st North Carolina

Volume XVI contains the history and rosters of a most unorthodox unit. Thomas’s Legion, the creation of William Holland Thomas, comprised an Infantry Regiment, Walker’s Battalion of infantry and cavalry, Levi’s Battery, and an Indian Battalion. Most of the men were from western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, and many were Cherokee Indians. The Legion, or parts thereof, saw action in eastern Tennessee, southwestern Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, and western North Carolina.

Volume XVII will cover the three regiments and four battalions of Junior Reserves. We expect this to be available by the fall of 2008, funds permitting.

The contents of subsequent volumes will be determined by the amount of information we discover for the various units. Volume XVIII will probably cover the Senior Reserves and the regiments of Detailed Men. Volume XIX will probably cover the Independent Battalions, Independent Companies, miscellaneous units, the Militia and Home Guard, and unassigned conscripts. Volume XX will probably cover N.C. companies in units from other states and units raised by the Confederate government, and N.C. men in the Confederate Navy and Marines. Volumes XXI and XXII will probably cover N.C. Union units, white and black. Then will follow a master index to the entire series, probably in two volumes.

We expect also to publish a volume or two or three of addenda to the series, containing information we have received since the publication of a soldier’s service record. If you have reliable information regarding a North Carolina soldier in the Civil War, we would appreciate it if you would e-mail it to Matthew Brown. Examples of valuable information include a soldier's full name, birth and death date, place of residence, and any information relating to his service in the war. Please include the company and regiment in which the soldier served, and please include your source of information. We can only include in our series information we deem to be reliable.

If you are so fortunate as to have an original document relating to someone’s service in the Civil War, such as a letter or diary or official document, we would appreciate it if you would contact Matthew Brown, especially if the document relates to a soldier serving in a unit for which we have not yet published a roster. By sharing with us a copy of such a document, you can contribute to North Carolina history!

Copies of the addenda section to volume III are available also and sell for $4.50 each. Photocopies of addenda sections for volumes I, II, IV, V, VI, and VII are also available. Please specify when ordering. The reprints will include the addenda sections.
