Southern Historical Society Papers

[riverratmess]

Does anyone have a copy of Volume 25, Southern Historical Society Papers? I can't seem to get a copy of this one. I need the sketch of the 38th North Carolina which is included in this volume.

Thanks in advance,

Do you want the manuscripts at Chapel Hill, such as Flowers, George W. "The Thirty eighth N.C. Regiment, Its History in the Civil War..." Southern Hist Soc Papers or Hokes papers, or Clark's history from ca.1900?

Abstract: Photocopy of Confederate Soldier, William J. Hoke's Captain's commission in the Southern Guards, Rifle Company attached to the 70th Regiment.

Bio/History: William J. Hoke was commissioned a Captain of the Southern Guards, a rifle company attached to the Seventieth Regiment, "NCM" on Dec. 11, 1850. His commission was signed by N.C. Governor Charles Manly and his private secretary, Andrew J. Terrill. Hoke resided in Lincoln County, NC, where he enlisted at age 35 on April 25, 1861. He was appointed captain to rank from his date of enlistment and joined the "Lincoln Guards," also referred to as the "Star Guards," and the "Southern Stars." Upon being mustered into state service they became "Co. K of the 1st Regt. of N.C. Infantry." On April 24, 1862, Captain Hoke became Colonel of the 38th Regiment of N.C. Troops. The 38th became part of Pender's Brigade which formed the 6th of the "Light Division" commanded by A.P. Hill. Hoke was wounded in several battles and after Spotsylvania in 1864 was declared disabled for field service and was appointed to command the post at Charlotte, N.C. until the end of the war.
