The 37th North Carolina Infantry was one of the five regiments that comprised the Branch-Lane Brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia. Most historians agree that this was the premier NC brigade of the war, participating heroically in some 35 actions from 1862 to 1865.

Composed of companies from Western and Piedmont counties of North Carolina, its service may be noted in that its first colonel, Charles C. Lee, was killed in action at Frayser’s Farm, June 30, 1862, just as the brigade’s first commander, Lawrence Branch was killed at Antietam. Despite its hard fighting, the 37th’s combat record was not compiled until this regimental history was released in 2003, the first book by its author, who would go on to become known as North Carolina’s foremost living historian. The 37th North Carolina’s service is thus ably told here.

The 37th North Carolina served in the Department of North Carolina until May of 1862 when it was transferred to the Army of Northern Virginia. It saw action at New Bern, on the Peninsula, Cedar Mountain, 2nd Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and throughout the long and hard Overland Campaign to the war’s end.  [ad] [ph:L]
