I have heard that there was a plan for a final/last volume of Clarke's NC Regiments research. I am interested in the Salisbury Home Guard, the 73rd Regiment (also known as the 4th Regiment). Has that final volume been printed? >From several readings I have concluded that the Home Guard group mostly did roundups of escaped slaves, deserters or war resisters in their area, plus possibly engaging Gen. Stoneman in late April 1865. I don't think they got much action except for deserters to the west. The Home Guard didn't have a very good reputation as they stole, destroyed, and terrified the families of deserters. I have a Guilford Gen. Journal about the Home Guard in the area of Greensboro and I would bet the Salisbury bunch did much the same thing. My Abner Pace was in the Salisbury Home Guard. Here is what I have already found from Clarke's NC Regiments. The book is now digitalized at: Walter Clark--, Histories of the several regiments and battalions from North Carolina, in the great war 1861-’65 http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/historyfiction/authors.aspx?sort=C Summarized or quoted at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawm/NCMilOrg/73rdReg-JrReserve.htm There is an introduction to Jr. & Sr. Reserve at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawm/NCMilOrg/ReserveIndex.htm Betty Pace ____________________________________________________________ Click to find information on your credit score and your credit report. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3m2PcjWDHU7y4BMkkc9BNu5QMfXjM2JUYT8NvTVqcrDXbQkQ/
