Booklet was published in 1905 by the order of the W.J. Hoke Camp, Confederate Veterans. It was printed by Journal Print of Lincolntown, North Carolina. Booklet lists the regiments and names of soldiers with brief records, stating the dates of enlistment, capture, missing, killed, etc.

End of booklet features the farewell letter of General Hoke, dated May 1, 1865. An excerpt reads, “You have yielded to overwhelming forces, not to superior valor: you are paroled prisoners, not slaves: the love of liberty which led you in the contest still burns as brightly in your hearts as ever, cherish it, nourish it, associate it with the history of the past. Transmit it to your children, teach them the rights of freemen and teach them to maintain them: teach them that the proudest day in all your proud career was on that day you enlisted as a Southern soldier, entering that holy brotherhood whose ties are now sealed in the blood of your compatriots, who have fallen and whose history is covered with the brilliant records of the past four years.”
