I found this FOOTNOTE in several books. In one book, it said:
"1 Henry Heth to W. N. Starke, September 13, 1863, OR 27(2):637; J.
T. C. Hood statement, April 8, 1896, Burgwyn Papers, NCDAH;
Elmore, "Torrid Heat and Blinding Rain," 10–11; Linebach diary, July
1, 1863, SHC-UNC."
In another book, it gives the same "J.T.C. Hood statement, April 8, 1896," but following this footnote, it continues and says "and transcript of losses in Company F from Richmond Examiner, Burgwyn Papers, NCDAH;..."
In the 1st footnote in one book, there seem to be 3 references in this one footnote. In the 2nd footnote in a different book, there are 7 references in the one footnote (assuming each ; is a separate reference in that one footnote). I am looking for the J.T.C. Hood statement, April 8, 1896. After each of these footnotes, it says, Burgwyn Papers, NCDAH, so I would assume that is where the J.T.C. Hood statement first appeared. Can anyone help me out and tell me where to look to find this 1896 J.T.C. Hood statement? What is NCDAH? I have a research background and I'm coming up stumped on this one.
I have already found articles mentioning J.T.C. Hood in The Times Dispatch, Richmond, VA, May 17, 1903 and in The National Tribune, Washington, D.C., July 2, 1903, but I cannot find this original 1896 J.T.C. statement. I also have a typed letter that was a 1st person account of his experiences in Gettysburg but that was in July 1896 in a Lenoir newspaper. I'm just stumped on how to find this April 8, 1896 statement. I can find plenty of books and newspaper articles referencing J.T.C. Hood statements. But I am particularly looking for this April 8, 1896 statement. J.T.C. Hood is also the man who coined the phrase used in so many Civil War books -- something to the effect that they mowed us down like like wheat before the sickle (I just don't want to take time to look up the exact words he said). He was an orderly sergeant in the Co. F., 26th Regiment, N.C.T. Can anyone help or tell me where to look and what the initials NCDAH stand for?
Thanks for your help.
