Organized in July of 1862.
Command consisted of Paul F. Faison (Colonel), G. Gratiott Luke (Lt. Colonel), and Major John W. Graham
Regiment first saw service in its home state fighting U.S. troops at Goldsboro. It was then assigned to Mark W. Ransom's brigade (veterans of the Peninsula Campaign, Harper's Ferry, Antietam and at Fredericksburg). Fought at Gum Creek (where 149 members were captured), Plymouth (where it lost 4 killed and 84 wounded) and Drewry's Bluff. It fought under Beauregard at Ware Bottom Church (losing 90 men), before entrenching in Petersburg as part of Bushrod Johnson's division. Most of the unit was overrun and captured at Sayler's Creek. At Appomattox, only 9 officers and 62 men surrendered.
Tangent: Am currently looking for information on Colonel Faison and Ltc. Luke. If anyone has details on them, that'd be swell.
