"History of the Seventy-Second Regiment of the North Carolina Troops in the War Between the States, 1861-’65" by Col. John W. Hinsdale is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book documents the experiences and valor of the Seventy-Second Regiment, composed largely of young soldiers known as the Junior Reserves who served during the American Civil War. The narrative covers their organization, battles, and personal stories, providing a poignant insight into the struggles faced by these young combatants and the broader context of the war. In the book, Hinsdale details the formation of the Seventy-Second Regiment in the context of dire circumstances faced by the Confederacy in 1864. Compiled from historical records and personal accounts, it chronicles their training, key battles including the defense of Fort Fisher, and individual acts of bravery displayed during multiple confrontations with Union forces. The narrative emphasizes the dedication, heroism, and sacrifices made by these young soldiers, often contrasting their youthful innocence with the harsh realities of war. The book serves not only as a tribute to those who served but also as a critical examination of the impact the Civil War had on North Carolina and its people.
