And I should have known this because I had written about him back in 2008. My excuse? That was a real long time ago.
He was a member of the 14th North Carolina Infantry Regiment and is considered the last member of the Army of Northern Virginia to be killed at Appomattox.
That would have to be rough to go through most of the war and then get killed on the very last day for your army.
Is he the one the North Carolina traditional saying that honors the state's Confederate soldiers with the words "First at Bethel, Farthest at Gettysburg and Last at Appomattox" was referring to?
