Book excerpt: The North Carolina 32nd Infantry Regiment, also known as the Lenoir Braves, was organized at Drewry's Bluff, Virginia, in April, 1862, using the 1st North Carolina Infantry Battalion as its nucleus. Its companies were raised in the counties of Tyrrell, Nash, Camden, Northampton, Catawba, Bertie, Chatham, and Franklin. The unit was stationed near Petersburg and Drewry's Bluff during the fall of 1862, then returned to North Carolina. Here it served in and around Kinston until May, 1863, when it moved back to Virginia. Assigned to General Daniel's and Grimes' Brigade it fought in various conflicts from Gettysburg to Cold Harbor, saw action in the Shenandoah Valley with Early, and ended the war at Appomattox. This regiment lost thirty-five percent of the 454 engaged at Gettysburg and sustained 3 casualties at Bristoe and 3 at Mine Run. It surrendered with 4 officers and 110 men on April 9, 1865.This book focuses on the involvement of the 32nd at Gettysburg, showing the monuments which were erected after the war, and the positions and movements of Daniel's Brigade.- Co.
