The 21st North Carolina Troops (11th North Carolina Volunteers) was one of only two Tar Heel Confederate regiments that in 1865 could boast "From Manassas to Appomattox." The 21st was the only North Carolina regiment with Stonewall Jackson during his 1862 Valley Campaign and remained with the same division throughout the war. It participated in every major battle fought by the Army of Northern Virginia except the 1864 Overland Campaign, when General Lee sent it to fight its own intense battles near New Bern and Plymouth. This book is written from the perspective of the 1,942 men who served in the regiment and is filled with anecdotal material gleaned from more than 700 letters and memoirs. In several cases it sheds new light on accepted but often incorrect interpretations of events. Names such as Lee, Jackson, Hoke, Trimble, Hill, Early, Ramseur and Gordon charge through the pages as the Carolina regiment gains a name for itself. Suffering a 50 percent casualty rate over the four years, only 67 of the 920 young men and boys who began the war surrendered to Grant at its end.

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. One of the best regimental histories! By Brad Gottfried Being an author, I regularly read and use many regimental histories. This is one of the best. It contains a full explanation of what the 21st North Carolina did during the Civil War. It is not filled with rosters, but contains over 500 pages of text, including a very useful notes section. I especially like the fact that Mr. Sherrill explains the context of the unit's actions, rather than describe them in isolation. I really wish that there were more regimental histories like this one. Great job!

This is how Regimental Histories Should Be Written By Matthew Bartlett There are a great number of regimental histories being written during the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War and some of them easily stand out. The 21st North Carolina Infantry: A Civil War History, with a Roster of Officers is one of those which stands out. This massive work is easily one of the most in depth and well written regimental histories which I have read not just within the breadth of the Sesquicentennial Civil War histories, but within regimental histories as a whole. Lee W. Sherrill,, Jr., has delivered one of the most fascinating works on this regiment and should be considered the archetype for the future formula for the writing of regimental histories. Lee W. Sherrill, Jr., has been researching the 21st North Carolina and their role in the Army of Northern Virginia for twenty years visiting places between Carlisle, Pennsylvania and Atlanta, Georgia. He has also written numerous articles on the regiment along with many presentations not only about the regiment, but of Kirkland’s Confederate Brass Band which belonged to the 21st North Carolina. One of the things which stuck out to me when I first began to read this book was that it was a different type of regimental history. Just by reading the opening chapters, you can tell the great amount of depth which Sherrill put into this work. Never before have I read a regimental history which gave the depth to the subject which Sherrill has given here. One of the most interesting sections which the book gives us is the descriptions of the Battle of Gettysburg and the first day’s combat which the regiment took part of. In the annals of Gettysburg history, the Brickyard Fight can easily be considered the most ignored part of the battlefield. Here, Sherrill gives us one of the best written accounts of this part of battle. Not only does the author give us a great look into what the 21st North Carolina did during this part of the battle, he gives us a great look into the entire look of the Brickyard Fight. While most regimental histories only give us history, this book gives us a complete roster of officers in the back of the book. This roster breaks down the officers, gives us a little information about them, and goes into the companies of the regiment. The book is accompanied by incredible photographs and maps which aid the flowing narrative and incredible stories of this regiment. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in regimental histories of the American Civil War. I also recommend this book to anyone interested in the Battle of Gettysburg since it deals with parts of the battlefield which are generally ignored. Sherrill has definitely given us a work which is different and should be noticed among Civil War historians and students. This is how regimental histories should be written. This book has some incredible research and Sherrill should be praised for the amount of work which he has placed in this tome.Matthew Bartlett - Gettysburg Chronicle
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. One of the Best Regimentals Yet By Fred L. Ray One of the best “regimentals” yet. The author has done an unusually thorough job of research, and the notes (some 49 pages of them!) are worth the price of the book. It’s also well written, with the regimental history duly incorporated into the larger history of the brigade and the context of the various campaigns. He also includes information on little-known events like the hangings General Pickett conducted on the Carolina coast in early 1864, as well as detailed information on the regiment’s battle history. The narrative also covers the personalities and politics of the regiment and the brigade, as well as having a biographical register of the regiment’s officers. Sherrill has also done a great job of tracking down period photographs, and the maps are well done and easy to understand. All in all this is a book you’ll want to read and have on your shelf.
