THE CATAWBA SOLDIER
FRANK RABB
I enlisted July 4, 1862, in Co. E. 57th Regiment. Went' to Salisbury to guard prisoners. There we were organized into a company, and was o Richmond with prisoners. We remain- ed in camp of instruc- tion until fall; from there we were sent to Culpepper; thence to Fredericksburg, where the 57th made one of the most memorable charges during the war. Here I was wounded in my side. There we went into winter quar- ters. Next to the Chancellorsville fight; next we were on the Gettysburg campaign. In the City of Gettys- burg, I had my hat brim shot by a lady, from the window of a house. In the second day's charge, at the turntable on the railroad, I ordered a yankee nearby to surrender, and he ordered me to surrender, both having unloaded guns. I got mine loaded first; he ran into the cellar and I captured him. On our return to Virginia, we re- mained in the valley all that fall, being engaged with Sheridan. Next the raid to Washington City, crossing the Potomac to Shepherdstown,; here I got a little away from my Company, I ran upon four Yankees, among them a Captain, all of whom I took prisoners myself; thence to Washington, passing the residence of Postmaster General Stevens. Here I entered the house and got a dish of honey, no one being at home. As sharpshooters, we spent the night in the suburb of Washington. Next day, we were on picket all day and at night; Gen. Early got us out safely on our retreat; marched all night, crossing the Potomac; next day into Virginia. At Winchester, I was wounded in the head. In fall- ing back to Richmond, I with four men, was detailed one night to make a rifle pit and drive the enemy from a battery that was annoying us. We carried that night into this pit several boxes of cartridges. In mak- ing the pit, I had access to an old fence, and made a porthole above the pit; here, during all next day, I fired the five guns loaded by the four men, and kept the battery silent. After the enemy fell back, we ex- amined the place where the battery was and found many graves. For

OF THE CIVIL WAR
days after, I was so sore with the re-coil of the gun that I was unable to shoot. At Petersburg, I missed but one battle, in which our regi- ment engaged. I was on the skirmish line for fifteen months, and was granted, therefore, a complimentary furough for constant duty.
After the surrender, I came home. Am now in lumber business.
Self, W. R., enlisted July 4, '64. (See sketch and photo.) WILLIAM R. SELF
William R. Self en- listed in Company E. 57th Regiment N. C. troops in January, 1862. The first engagement he was in was at Fredricks- burg, Va., where he was slightly wounded in the head; next engage- ment was at Chancel- lorsville, Va .; third at Gettysburg, where he was wounded the first day of battle while carrying the flag, and J. C. Bost seizing the flag was killed.
At Lynchburg he was wounded the second day; he was also engaged in the battles of Winches- ter, Harper's Ferry, Culpepper and Newbern. At Winchester he was taken prisoner. For five months he was absent from the Company with small-pox. The closest place he was ever in was Hickory, N. C. - he came home from prison in March, 1865; the enemy came through soon after his return. In order to save the stock, he took thirteen head of horses of Maj. Bost's, his father-in-law, and concealed them in the forest. A few days afterwards Maj. Bost thought that he should take them home that he might start the plows. To be sure that the enemy was not near, Self rode up near Hickory and stopped for a drink of water. On his return to his horse, he looked up the road and saw quite a number of their Yankee pickets; in an instant he was mounted, and, "Halt, Halt, Bang," came the balls, but he made his escape untouched, after having been shot at at least seventy-five times.
After the surrender, he farmed several years, then moved to New- ton, where he has kept a boarding house since.

THE CATAWBA SOLDIER
72ND REGIMENT, COMPANY E, NORTH CAROLINA VOLUNTEERS
This Company was composed of the seventeen year old Dys; nevertheless, it was a company, and deserves the same honor as the older companies. It was enlisted and officered 'con the County, and was, therefore, composed of noble sons.
They were drilled at Camp Vance, and had left there when Stoneman made his raid into the Western part of the State. They were taken to Raleigh; then to Wilmington; then to Wrightsville, where they remained for some time. Then to Stony Creek; then to Tarboro; then to Fort Fisher, where they were nearly all captured, and taken to Washing- ton; then to Fort Delware, from which prison they were sent home after Lee's surrender. In the battle at Fort Fisher, and other minor engagements, they manifested the spirit of a Tar-heel,-that means, they stood to their guns, and fought like well drilled men. All honor, say the old soldiers to those boys for acquitting themselves so bravely in the only hard fought battle in which they were engaged. Their record is short, since they were soon captured, and were not paroled until after the war. These are the facts as gathered from one of the officers of the Company.

WILLIAM WEAVER
In the year 1864, on the morning of Dec. 25th, we were ordered to Fort Fisher. The Federal army opened fire on us at nine o'clock in the morning. We had no protection; the fort was full of men. We were face to face with our enemies.
They threw shells at us fom nine o'clock in the morning until three in the afternoon, throw- ing at the rate of 60 per minute. Some of our men lost their lives in that fierce struggle. At three o'clock they land- ed and then fought with rifles. At seven that night, we were captured, and put on boats. We didn't see any land for four

days. We were on our way to Point Lookout, where we were put in prison and kept there until the surrender.
Would like to tell of all I saw while in that terrible struggle, which was certainly trying. We were taking our Christmas in trying to save our lives, while others were enjoying good warm firesides and we were in misery with cold.
It was hard for us then, but I am glad to say that I am an old Con- federate soldier. The time is coming when there will not be any left to tell the story of the Civil war, so let us leave something to perpetuate our memory when we are gone.
God bless ever old Confederate soldier.

The following is a Roster culled from the four volumes of Moore's History of those who enlisted, or were sent by authority to other commands in the State, and a few who were absent from the State at the time of the outbreak of the war, and enlisted from other states, and who, after the war, returned to their native State and County.
We are sorry that we got but little data from this list. In this Roster will be found many men who, we doubt not, made good records during their term of service, and after- wards returned and were active in the development of our County, and deserve a better record than we are able to give.

THE CATAWBA SOLDIER
J. ROME CLINE
J. Rome Cline at the early age of seventeen, like thousands of our Southern youth, laid a- side all his private am- bitions, bade farewell to his friends and loved ones, and took up arms to defend his native Southland. He marched to the great conflict in defense of his country with an undying devo- tion to her flag, and fought valiantly for the cause that was espoused by all the true and tried blood of the South. Roman hearts never beat truer, nor did Spar- tan blood in acts evince greater intrepidness and loyalty for their country than did the Southern boys who gathered arms to defend her honor. The subject of this sketch was one of "The Boys." Mr. Cline says:
"I joined Company B. Second North Carolina cavalry which was composed mostly of Iredell men. Let me say in their behalf, that they were as true in their deeds as any company. 'Soon after enlisting, I was chosen Orderly to Colonel Clinton Andrews and served him in this capa- city until he died shortly after receiving a mortal wound. As I stood by and saw his brave life go out like the candle before the blast, power- iess to aid him, my heart was wrung with grief as I saw his eyes close in death and that noble heart cease beating forever. In his death, I lost a true and tried friend, and the Army a brave officer.
I was on the raid against Sherdian, who was marching into Rich- mond, in 1864, in an attempt to destroy the city and release the Federal prisoners on Belle Island. Also, I was constantly on duty against Grant in his campaign on the James River, and was then transferred to the South side of James river. operating on Grants left. In the raid made in the rear of Grant's lines, I assisted in capturing 2486 beeves below City Point. and we brought the entire herd of cattle into our lines.
My company continued doing picket duty until Grant opened his campaign in 1865 in which we fought the battle of Chamberlin's Run. Here we were placed close to the ford of the creek awaiting the coming

of General Custer from a prominent location overlooking the lines. Out before us could be seen thousands of troops. Then our company was dismounted, and we waded the creek, which was badly swollen, and we had a severe engagement that day, in which our loss was very heavy both in officers and men. My comrade, I. R. Abernethy, was wounded in that engagement. That evening we ran the enemy two miles and sat in our saddles all night, awaiting any emergencies that might develop.
I was also in the battle at Five Forks and participated in an engage- ment at Namozine Church where the Yankees thoroughly routed us by overwhelmning numbers after which our forces were never reorganized. Here, General Barringer and various other officers were captured. In this engagement out colorbearer. Arthur Ramsey, one of the brave boys in an effect to restore the chaotic conditions, carried the flag to General Roberts and said, "Major, will you stand by the flag"? Every- thing was demoralized, so much so that Major Roberts replied, "Ramsey, d- the flag, I don't want it"
In the coming years, when all of us of the Southern Army have joined that army that will march on and on through Time eternal and as our posterity shall look upon the history of the Sons of the South who fought during that sanguinary conflict, they can know that, in their forefathers, there coursed the blood of those who were as brave as any who ever dared and died.
