*52nd Regiment, North Carolina Infantry*
-------------------------------------------
52nd Infantry Regiment completed its organization at Camp Mangum, near Raleigh, North Carolina, in April, 1862. Its members were recruited in the counties of Cabarrus, Randolph, Gates, Chowan, Stokes, Richmond, Wilkes, Lincoln, Stanly, and Forsyth. The unit fought at Goldsboro, then relocated to Virginia where it was brigaded under Generals Pettigrew Kirkland, and MacRae. It fought with General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia during Gettysburg, had 2 killed and 25 wounded in the fight at Bristoe, and surrendered with only 6 officers and 60 men. Its commanders were Colonels James K. Marshall and Marcus A. Parks Lieutenant Colonels Eric Erson and Benjamin F. Little, and Major John Q. Richardson.

A little known fact is that one out of every four Southern soldiers who died at Gettysburg was from North Carolina.

That's one-fourth...1/4...25%.
