Regimental History


Stone's River after battle report:

Report of Col. Joseph A. McDowell, Sixtieth North Carolina Infantry.

CAMP NEAR TULLAHOMA, TENN., January 11, 1863.
GEN.: I respectfully submit the following report of the part taken
by the Sixtieth North Carolina in the recent battles of December 31,
[1862,] and January 2, [1863:]

On Sunday morning, the 28th, we were ordered into line of battle and
occupied our position on the right wing, a little to the left of the
Lebanon pike. We were moved from point to point without being
engaged with the enemy from Sunday morning until Wednesday, the 31st.

On Wednesday, the 31st, about 2 p.m., we marched across Stone's
River and formed line of battle near the Nashville pike, the Sixtieth
North Carolina occupying the right-center position of the brigade. We
were then marched in the direction of the enemy through an open field
about three-quarters of a mile. We advanced in good order, under a
heavy fire of shell, until we came upon very serious obstructions in the
shape of a large brick house, out-buildings, and strong picket fencing,
which extended the length of our regimental line of battle. Owing to
these obstructions, and the great difficulty of getting through the picket
fencing, my regiment was thrown into some confusion and the line was
broken. Company E, Lieut. [S. C.] Wright commanding; Company
F, Capt. [James M.] Ray; Company H, Capt. [James T.] Huff, and
Company K, Capt. [W. R.] West, succeeded in making their way
through the fence, where the line was reformed with these companies,
and was obliqued about 200 yards through a cotton-field, taking shelter
in a skirt of woods. During our march through the cotton-field we were
subjected to a most terrific fire of grape and shell and musketry, losing
at this point about 28 in killed and wounded. We remained for some
time in this skirt of woods, our men keeping up a brisk fire.

Lieut. [J. T.] Weaver, commanding Company A, although detached
from the regiment by the obstructions above mentioned, took position
on the left of the Twentieth Tennessee, and fought with that regiment
until he regained his position with my regiment in the skirt of woods.
At this point the general commanding came up and seized
the flag of a Florida regiment, and advanced, the brigade following him
into a cedar thicket, where the enemy had been strongly posted, and
from which position he had done us such serious damage; but when we
reached there he had ingloriously fled, and we remained masters of the
field. Night put a stop to further operations, and we slept that night on
our arms.

I desire to make special mention of Capt.'s Ray, Huff, and West;
Lieut. Weaver, commanding Company A, and Lieut. Wright,
commanding Company E, for their brave and gallant conduct, and
likewise the cool and deliberate courage exhibited by W. T. White, a
private in Company K; H. C. Fagg, Company B; little John [A.]
Freshour, Company B, and the color-bearer, Francis [M.] Bailey,
Company E, and Corpl. T. J. Garrison and Private H. N. Bridges, of
Company A, both of whom were seriously wounded. This being the first
engagement the Sixtieth North Carolina has been in, I am gratified to
say that with but few exceptions they acquitted themselves in a highly
commendable manner.

On Thursday, the 1st, we remained inactive, occupying the ground
gained on Wednesday.

On Friday, in the afternoon, we reoccupied Stone's River, and formed
line of battle in the rear of Hanson's and Pillow's brigades, to support
them in their attack on the enemy. About 4 o'clock we were ordered to
advance, which we did in good order; engaged the enemy and kept
driving him before us until about sunset, when, it becoming apparent
that he was strongly re-enforced and flanking us, we were ordered to
fall back. We retire in perfect order about 300 yards, in advance,
however, of our original line of battle, and there reformed our line. At
this juncture the general commanding came up and ordered us back to
our original position.

I regret to announce the death of Acting Adjt. Stanhope S. Erwin, who
fell, pierced through the head by a minie ball, while faithfully and
gallantly discharging his duties.

Chickamagua after battle report:

Report of Capt. James T. Weaver, Sixtieth North Carolina Infantry.

HDQRS. SIXTIETH N. C., REGT., STOVALL'S BRIG.,
September 28, 1863.
CAPT.: I have the honor to submit the following report of the
part taken by the Sixtieth North Carolina Regt. in the recent
battles of Chickamauga, on the 19th and 20th:

On Saturday, the 19th, the regiment was in line of battle all day,
but was not engaged until about sundown that evening. Our
brigade was moved in a new direction and occupied a position on
or near the battle-field of Saturday.

On Sunday morning, the 20th instant, our brigade was formed in
the following order: First and Third Florida on the right; Sixtieth
North Carolina in the center, and the Forty-seventh Georgia on
the left, the Fourth Florida being held in reserve and as a support
for the skirmishers. All necessary dispositions having been made,
about 9 o'clock we were ordered to move forward until we met
the enemy. After advancing about 400 yards we received a fire
of musketry from the front, at which time 2 of the lieutenants
belonging to this regiment were so severely wounded that they
had to be carried from the field. At this juncture we were
ordered to charge, which was done in gallant style, and meeting
but feeble resistance we crossed the Chattanooga road and
advanced beyond that point about 200 yards, where we were
halted. We here captured a prisoner, who stated that we were in
rear of their original line about 250 yards. Heavy firing being
heard to the left, we were ordered to that point. We changed
front by filing to the right, and facing by the rear rank were
hurriedly marched in the direction of said fire. Having
approached to within 400 yards of enemy's line, we received a
heavy fire from the front, and from there advanced through a
brisk fire to within 200 yards of the enemy's line, where we
were halted and returned the enemy's fire. At this place and time
Lieut.-Col. Ray, commanding regiment, was wounded and left
the field. After a sharp engagement for twenty minutes, the
Florida regiment on our left was forced back by what I have
understood to have been a flank movement of the enemy on their
left, of which movement I was ignorant, and held my men firm.
However, in a short time the Forty-seventh Georgia, being hotly
pressed on my right, was forced
to retire, which left me no alternative but to withdraw my
men or be captured. I retired out of range, rallied the regiment,
and held it steady until relieved by a staff officer and carried to
where the balance of the brigade had formed, still in the rear.
Up to this time my loss was 8 men killed, 6 officers wounded,
and 30 enlisted men wounded, 16 enlisted men missing; total
loss, 60.

From this time we were comparatively inactive until the last and
final charge, which decided the fate of the day, and in which my
regiment participated with as much enthusiasm as could be,
notwithstanding the regiment had had no rations for two days.
This last charge was attended with no casualties.

Allow me here to say that the officers and men composing this
regiment acted throughout the day in a way entirely satisfactory
to their commander, and my thanks are especially due Capt.
Whitehead for the efficient services rendered me on the field. I
would respectfully call attention to his brave and gallant conduct
during the whole engagement.

Respectfully submitted.

J. T. WEAVER,
Capt., Comdg. Regt.
