From the Oct. 3, 2012, Beach Carolina Magazine.
The Historical Publication Section of the North Carolina Office of Archives and History is having a 60=70% cut in this series of books. Regularly $50 each, Vols. 1-15 are going for $15 each and Vols. 16-18 for $20.
The series began back during the centennial Civil War commemoration with the goal of providing the service record for every single man serving in a Confederate unit from the state and is a remarkable piece of history.
I remember getting a copy from a library back then and doing research on troops captured at Fort Fisher Jan. 15, 1865 and remember a remarkably high number that I listed as "DIP." That would be "Died in Prison." And that is considering that the war only continued for three months afterwards. Sure says something about northern prisons.
I wouldn't mind getting a volume or two covering Confederate units at Fort Fisher, but have an aversion to P&H.
I imagine the sale has something to do with the coming death of books.
