From synopsis: “’First at Bethel, farthest from Gettysburg and Chickamauga and last at Appomattox’ is a phrase that is often used to encapsulate the role of North Carolina’s Confederate soldiers. But the state’s involvement stretched far beyond these few battles. The states was one of the last to leave the Union but contributed more men and sustained more losses than any other Southern state.

Hardy as he delves into the story of North Carolinians in the Civil War, from civilians to soldiers, as these valorous Tar Heels proved they were a force to be reckoned with.”
