Thanks for the response....It has been many years since I read about it and I can not recall the source also I have a warm place in my heart for NC and I don`t like putting them down. (many of my ancestors were early settlers in Caswell Co NC) I also recall that NC either furnish the most troops or suffered them most casualties?

You are correct abt the transportation problem but with the war being conducted so close by I should think they could have shared their surplus with troops from other CSA states..

I think NC`s wartime gov. was Vance..
