Statewide Civil War collection of the State Archives of North Carolina, dated 1860 to 1965. It gathers pardon petitions, bounty payrolls, quartermaster vouchers and supply papers, disabled veterans' claims and letters about artificial limbs, regimental and unit papers, muster rolls, diaries, reminiscences, clippings and sheet music. Orange County is one of the many North Carolina counties represented.
Papers of Benjamin Sherwood Hedrick, the UNC chemistry professor dismissed in 1856 for opposing slavery and backing the Republican candidate John C. Fremont. Most of the 6,037 items, from 1848, are letters to Hedrick: early ones exchanged with Mary Ellen Thompson before their marriage, then others on university life at Chapel Hill, his dismissal, and his later career in Washington with the Patent Office. Correspondents include David L. Swain and Kemp P. Battle.
Papers of William Lafayette Scott, Greensboro lawyer, teacher, Confederate officer and politician, 1,017 items mostly from 1854 to 1871. They follow him from his student years at the University of North Carolina through law and teaching, a legislative term in the 1850s, a troubled Confederate service that ended in resignation, and Reconstruction politics. Kemp P. Battle, David L. Swain, Albion W. Tourgée and Jonathan Worth are among the names in the papers.
