13th Regiment Co. A





13th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry 

13th Infantry Regiment, formerly the 3rd Volunteers, was organized 
at Garysburg, North Carolina, in May, 1861, with 1,100 men. Its 
members were recruited in Caswell, Mecklenburg, Davie, Edgecombe, 
and Rockingham counties. Ordered to Virginia, the unit was assigned 
to General Colston's, Garland's, Pender's, and Scales' Brigade. It 
shared in the many campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from 
Williamsburg to Cold Harbor, endured the battles and hardships of the 
Petersburg trenches south of the James River, and took part in the 
Appomattox operations. This regiment totalled 575 effectives in April, 
1862, lost 29 killed and 80 wounded during the Seven Days' Battles, 
and had 41 killed and 149 wounded in the Maryland Campaign. It 
reported 37 casualties at Fredericksburg and 216 at Chancellorsville. 
Of the 232 engaged at Gettysburg, more than seventy-five percent were 
disabled. It surrendered 22 officers and 193 men. The field officers were 
Colonels Joseph H. Hyman, William D. Pender, and Alfred M. Scales; 
Lieutenant Colonels W.S. Guy, Henry A. Rogers, Thomas Ruffin, Jr., 
and E. Benton Withers; and Majors John T. Hambrick, D.H. Hamilton, 
Jr., and T.A. Martin.
