Notes par John F. Beam

57TH REGIMENT N.C. TROOPS

The 57th Regiment N.C. Troops was organized at Salisbury, in Rowan County, on July 6, 1862, and was composed of men primarily from Alamance, Cabarrus, Catawba, Forsyth, Lincoln, and Rowan Counties. l Archibald Campbell Godwin, a Virginian and former California gold prospector who had been sent to Salisbury to establish a military prison, was elected colonel. 2 Hamilton Chamberlain Jones Jr., a 24-year-old Rowan County native, University of North Carolina graduate, attorney, and former captain in the 5th Regiment N.C. State Troops, was elected lieutenant colonel. Twenty-year-old James Alexander Craige, a Rowan County resident and former United States Military Academy cadet, was elected major. In a letter to his wife dated July 8, Pvt. Morgan A. Walker of Company F pronounced himself "well satisfied" with military life but disappointed that, unlike "about one third of our men [who] got furlouws . . . right off," he would not be able to go home for four days. Pvt. George Rhyne of Company G informed his wife on the same date that he had "seen a thousand yankies [at the military prison] and . . . bin in a mong them .... [S]ome of them looks like sheep killing dogs and some . . . as brave as a lion. _ . _" after two days in the Confederate army, he too was "well satisfied "3

For the next month the regiment remained at Salisbury drilling and performing tedious duty as commissary and prison wards. The latter assignment, according to Pvt. James C. Zimmerman of Company D, was singularly unpleasant. "[I]f you was here," he assured his wife on July 12, "you would think [the prison] the stinkines place in the world[.] [I]t is enough to make a ded man heeve . . . ." Occasionally the routine was broken by incidents between the prisoners and guards or escape attempts. Such an attempt occurred during the wee hours of July 18 when "6 or 8 Deserters broke oute [causing] a great alarm . . . and firing of guns." For the most part, all remained quiet. "(W)e dril twice A day [and] the gards go on gard mountain (mount guard duty) once A day," Pvt. John Marcus Hefner of Company E wrote a few weeks later. The heavy dose of drill seemingly produced beneficial results. "I believe," Hefner added, "that we have the best Company in north Carolina . . . ."4

1. The ten companies comprising the 57th North Carolina were raised primarily in the following counties: Company A-Rowan; Company B-Rowan; Company C-Rowan; Company D-Forsyth; Company E-Catawba; Company F-Cabarrus; Company G-Lincoln; Company H-Rowan; Company 1-dlamance: and Company 1CRowan.

2. Godwin was born in 1831. The month and day of his birth are unknown.
