Although born in Boston, I was raised in North Carolina. I studied under a future Union general for entrance into West Point but never did attend the school, instead attending the University of North Carolina and later VMI. While a cadet at VMI, I served as a guard for John Brown.

When war came, I served as an officer in a North Carolina regiment, eventually rising to Colonel of the regiment. I was killed in action while leading my regiment into a battle where the regiment would etch it's name into history.
