28th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry 

28th Infantry Regiment was organized and mustered into Confederate 
service in September, 1861, at High Point, North Carolina. Its 
members were from the counties of Surry, Gaston, Catawba, Stanley, 
Montgomery, Yadkin, Orange, and Cleveland. The unit moved to 
New Bern and arrived just as the troops were withdrawing from that 
fight. Ordered to Virginia in May, 1862, it was assigned to General B
ranch's and Lane's Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. It fought at 
Hanover Court House and many conflicts of the army from the Seven 
Days' Battles to Cold Harbor. The 28th was then involved in the long 
Petersburg siege south of the James River and the Appomattox operations. 
It came to Virginia with 1,199 men, lost thirty-three percent of the 480 
engaged during the Seven Days' Battles, and had 3 killed and 26 
wounded at Cedar Mountain and 5 killed and 45 wounded at Second 
Manassas. The regiment reported 65 casualties at Fredericksburg and 
89 at Chancellorsville. Of the 346 in action at Gettysburg, more than forty 
percent were killed, wounded, or missing. It surrendered 17 officers and 
213 men. Its commanders were Colonels James H. Lane, Samuel D. 
Lowe, and William H.A. Speer; Lieutenant Colonels William D. Barringer 
and Thomas L. Lowe; and Majors William J. Montgomery, Richard E. 
Reeves, and S.N. Stowe.
