Mangum, near Raleigh, North Carolina. Men of this unit were raised in the 
counties of Person, Robeson, Johnston, Wayne, Rutherford, Moore, and 
Harnett. Ordered to Virginia, it fought under General Daniel at Malvern Cliff, 
then returned to North Carolina. Here the 50th saw action at New Bern and 
Washington, transferred to J.G. Martin's Brigade, and for a time served at 
Wilmington. Later part of the regiment was stationed at Plymouth and part 
at Washington. In November, 1864, it moved south and shared in the defense 
of Savannah and skirmished along the Rivers' Bridge. Sent back to North 
Carolina it was placed in General Kirkland's Brigade. The unit contiued the 
fight at Averasboro and fought its last battle at Bentonville. It totalled about 
900 effectives in November, 1864, mustered less than half that number in 
March, 1865, and surrendered a force of nearly 250 on April 26. The field 
officers were Colonels Marshall D. Craton, James A. Washington, and 
George Wortham; Lieutenant Colonel John C. Van Hook; and Major Henry
