Lot Description

Printed broadside, 8.5 x 10 in., issued by Israel Hargrove, 2nd Lieutenant of the 1st North Carolina Volunteers, Company K, calling all men To Arms! To Arms! Our Fatherland Is In Danger!...Shall the able bodied young men of the South stand here idle, while the fanatical hoards of the North are advancing to subjugate us with the demonic cry of "beauty and booty"? No! Pencil signed at the bottom by A.W. Rowland, Norfolk, VA, and dated June 17, 1861.

The 1st North Carolina Infantry Regiment, also known as the Bethel Regiment, organized at Raleigh, NC, in May 1861, and immediately moved to Virginia. Its members were from the counties of Edgecombe, Mecklenburg, Orange, Buncombe, Cumberland, Burke, Guilford, and Lincoln. The unit fought at Big Bethel with about 800 men, then served in the Army of the Peninsula near Yorktown. Two companies from Bertie and Chowan Counties joined the regiment, which increased its strength to more than 1200. On November 12, 1861, the unit disbanded and returned to North Carolina. Many of the men transferred to the 11th North Carolina Regiment. The field officers were Colonels Daniel H. Hill and Charles C. Lee, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph B. Starr, and Majors Robert F. Hoke and James H. Lane (Information obtained from the National Park Service Website, January 5, 2017).
