One-fifth of the Confederate losses in the Seven Days' battles near Richmond in 1862, one-third at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, and one-fourth at Gettysburg were North Carolinians. Of the twenty-seven regiments suffering the highest casualties at Gettysburg, thirteen were from North Carolina.

General Joseph Johnston Statue


General Johnston’s statue is located on private property along Harper House Road one quarter mile east of the Bentonville Battlefield Visitor Center.



Good Ol' Joe! Remember back on the THC board we had a big discussion about this statue? :wub:He's kind of grown on me now, though. Not too bad! By the way, I'm really enjoying all these pictures. Thanks for posting them!

The statue is definitely not Gutzon Borglum quality work but not that bad either when you get close to it. I plan to be about 50 feet or so from the monument Saturday at a booth. A navy friend of mine belongs to the local SCV camp that raised the money for the monument so the annual living history to do is a chance for me to see him as well as the sights of Bentonville. They are dedicating a Federal monument tSaturday at the battlefield and that will be a first for them and likely something of a curiosity for many of the park visitors.

Lieutenant Charles Brown (21st Michigan) describing a Confederate attack on his position at Bentonville: “stood as long as a man could stand and when that was no longer a possibility we run like the duce.”
The Battle of Bentonville, 19-21 March 1865

do any of y'all have pictures of the monument that once stood in the center of Reidsville, NC? I miss that ole boy. It is too bad that he is still down. Hopefully, the government will come to their senses and get him put back up.
