PATTERSON'S IN THE WAR OF 1812
North Carolina
26th NCT Wartime Roster
The 26th North Carolina Troops was organized from companies raised from the middle and western portions of the Old North State. Originally commanded by, Zebulon Baird Vance, who later became a wartime governor, the regiment first saw action at New Bern in March 1862. Here they attempted to resist an assault by forces of Union Gen. Ambrose Burnside. After this action, the regiment went north to Virginia and soon distinguished itself in battle. During the Seven Days' Battle at Malvern Hill, the 26th charged to within 25 five yards of the Federal positions, further encouraging McClellan's departure from the York-James Peninsula. Upon returning to eastern North Carolina, the unit helped keep Union forces located there in check, protecting the "back door" to Richmond.
