JOIN COMPANY A, 1st NORTH CAROLINA BATTALION SHARPSHOOTERS!

The 1st North Carolina Battalion Sharpshooters was organized at Gordonsville, Virginia, in May, 1862, with two companies from the 21st North Carolina Regiment. Its members were from Yadkin and Forsyth counties. During the war it was assigned to General Trimble's, Hoke's, and R.D. Johnston's Brigade. After fighting in Jackson's Valley Campaign as part of the 21st Regiment, the unit participated in all of the major conflicts of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days' Battles to the Appomattox campaign. In April of 1862, companies B and E were taken out of the 21st North Carolina to become Company A and Company B, 1st Battalion of North Carolina Sharpshooters. The men of Company A, 1st Battalion, under the command of Captain Nathan G. Hunt were some of the first skirmishers to be engaged at Sharpsburg (Antietam).[CENTER]

Introduction to Civil War Sharpshooters by George Bisset

Since the days of Morgan's Rifles in the American Revolution, accurate rifle fire has been an American military tradition. At the beginning of the Civil War, special units of skilled marksmen were gathered in both the North and South. Sharpshooter units were often raised from local shooting contests, selecting possible volunteers. Early in the war these units were issued the best rifles available, usually 3-banders, which they supplemented with privately owned telescopic sporting rifles.

The sharpshooter service was considered a distinct branch of the service, and not part of the infantry, as reflected by the green epaulets of its officers. Although the most famous of these units, Berdan's Sharpshooters, wore a distinct green uniform, the majority of these units were uniformed in unremarkable blue or gray. Union sharpshooters in generic blue included Andrew's Massachusetts Sharpshooters, 1st Michigan Sharpshooter Regiment, Brady's Michigan Sharpshooters, Minnesota Sharpshooters, New Jersey Sharpshooters, and in the west, Birge's Sharpshooters.

Regular infantrymen were attracted to the sharpshooter service by the fact that they were posted at the most active points of the picket line and were relieved of monotonous and fatiguing duties in camp. Sharpshooters were regularly used as scouts, using their telescopes to obtain information often operating close to or within enemy lines. Sharpshooters were largely left on their own to choose their targets unless ordered to concentrate on a specific one. They often operated as single individuals, and were extremely informal in the commands they used. A good example is the command used to deploy Birge's Sharpshooters, was simply "Hunt your holes, boys."

The primary role of sharpshooter units was as elite skirmishers. Being better shots, better at using cover; and having better morale than ordinary skirmishers, they tended to defeat enemy skirmishers on the advance or the retreat. The second main tactical function was to deliver long range fire, especially at targets not vulnerable to artillery: enemy officers (identified as small groups of horsemen), artillery batteries, and other enemy snipers. These long-range fires were often delivered at 1,000 or even 2,000-yard range, with the greatest feats being performed by Confederate Sharpshooters armed with Whitworth rifles, which fired a special hexagonal slug. The heaviest 20-30 lb. target rifles used by the Union, firing special "picket" bullets, may have reached similar distances. When firing at such extreme ranges, some sharpshooters found their sights would not adjust far enough, so they fired by instinct or by cutting a length of stick to use as a rest. They would then observe the target through field glasses and adjust their aim as follows: if the enemy looked up, they were firing over, if down they were firing low, and if the range was correct, the results were obvious.

Sharpshooters used their special knowledge of the sniper's art to help them hit enemy sharpshooters, in a similar manner as was done in WW II and to the present day. Prior to Pickett's Charge, Union infantry amused themselves by watching a team of sharpshooters clear an enemy sniper post in a house. Realizing that the enemy was at such long range and could see the smoke of the Union sharpshooter shots and duck before the bullets arrived, the Union men divided into two teams, the second team firing two seconds after the first, their bullets arriving at the moment the enemy's heads would be coming back up, This had the desired effect and silenced the post.

In battle, even single sharpshooters could at times silence entire artillery batteries and occasionally "captured" cannon by forcing the enemy to abandon it, In sieges, sharpshooters not only "captured" guns, but one case, one of Berdan's men fouled and blew up a cannon by slowly knocking sand into its muzzle by shooting at adjacent sandbags. At times special targets such as wagon parks were fired upon, and in one instance a single sharpshooter was able to block a mountain road to a wagon train by shooting down the first team of mules, then driving off attempts to clear it.
Regrettably, the typical Civil War soldier did not admire sharpshooters. At the beginning of the war, sniping was regarded as somewhat cowardly, and more murder than war. Sharpshooters did not help matters when they occasionally picked off men trying to relieve themselves in the bushes. Although regular infantry on picket duty were quick to set up truces and trade, sharpshooters were more businesslike on the picket line and were more likely to shoot. As the war went on, and daily skirmishing or siege warfare became more common, sharpshooters took a greater toll of enemy soldiers, and generally made their lives a little more miserable. It generally cheered the line infantry considerable to see a sharpshooter killed, enemy or not.

At Gettysburg, Confederate sharpshooters in Devil's Den were captured by a sudden rush by Berdan's sharpshooters and were relieved that the regular Union infantry had not captured them. Although most Civil War troops did not have to fear capture, sharpshooters did. On the other hand, sharpshooting increasingly became a hobby for some of the more sportsmanlike officers during dull sieges, who would often borrow sharpshooter's rifles for a few shots.

No matter what the Union or Confederate line infantry thought of the sharpshooters, their deadly fire and specialized skills fulfilled a specific need during the war. One has to think of the famous last words of General John Sedgewick at Spotsylvania regarding Confederate sharpshooters, "Don't worry boys, they could not hit an elephant at that distance!” No sooner had Sedgwick spoken than a bullet from a Rebel's .45-caliber Whitworth rifle ripped into his left cheek, killing him instantly.

[rebeldestroyer]

I have a weird feeling that a shootout between two sharpshooter companies may go something like this. Both spot each other and open fire. well trained marksmen take out all of the officers and NCOs of the opposing company. Privates shit their pants and don't know what to do. Rinse and repeat.

[-Mitchell-]

Well, considering the fact we will both be in open-order formations probing for the enemy and firing from/seeking cover, it should lead to some interesting and intense skirmishes!

[Jeffrey Miller]

Until the breach starts heating up really badly massively slowing the rate of fire.

Great find! I found this a month or so back whilst doing some more research.

http://veteransattic.com/images/store/yadkineaglesflagmajorcabinetcard3.jpg

"The Yadkin Gray Eagles were the first company raised in Yadkin County, North Carolina. Upon their arrival in Virginia, the company was mustered into Confederate service as Company B, 11th Regiment North Carolina Volunteers, later the 21st Regiment North Carolina State Troops.

At the reorganization of the Confederate army at Manassass in February 1862, Companies B and E were detatched from the regiment and redesignated Companies A and B, 1st Battalion North Carolina Sharpshooters.Lt. Reuben E. Wilson of Company B was promoted to Captain on the company. When the battalion commander was promoted to regimental command, Wilson was promoted to major and given command of the battalion.

This battalion was an active participant in nearly every battle fought by the Army of Northern Virginia, from Manassas to Appomattox, and because of what was called their "peculiar and efficient drill", engaged in many skirmishes in which the main army did not participate.

The above flag was presented to the Yadkin Gray Eagles upon their departure for Virginia. It was made from the silk dresses of the young ladies of the county and presented to the company by Miss Lou Glen, later Mrs. Joseph Williams. The captain, in receiving it on behalf of the company, closed his speach with these words:

"When this cruel war is over, Miss Lou,
This flag untarnished shall be returned to you."

This is perhaps the only Confederate company flag that was carried through twenty-six battles, from Manassas to Appomattox, through the war and returned "untarnished," to its donors. In 1898, the daughter of Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Robert Daniels, was the guardian of the flag. THe flag was later presented to the state of North Carolina.

On August 9, 1862, in a charge against the enemy near Warrenton, Va., Major Wilson was severly wounded when a minie ball broke both bones of the right forearm. At the same time, his left leg was shattered below the knee ba a grape-shot, which disabled him for several months. On April 2, 1865, in a charge at Petersburg, he was again wounded, his left leg cut off by a shell. He was hospitalized, paroled on April 21, rearrested, and taken to Libby Prison, where he remained until December 20."

That is crazy, just crazy 26 engagements and the Flag was still untarnished.

[Linkous]

I'm sure by "untarnished" they mean it didn't have any bullet- or cannon ball-sized holes. Can't imagine that it would be pristine after seeing that much action.

Either way, that's pretty awesome.

Agreed, it does seem to have a patch of sorts right above the gentlemen's head. However, considering some standards were but mere tatters by the wars end, this was in damn fine condition! Also, it should be noted that according to the drill books only battalions of 5 or more companies carried colors in the field.
Considering the 1st only had two companies, they most likely did not take their colors into battle, therefore, the resulting wear and tear was most likely the result of weathering etc.

On a side note, here's a random interesting fact: the 1st NC Batt SS were the smallest unit in the ANV to boast its own brass band :cool:

Alrighty, we have our first scheduled Drill/Play session happening on Saturday, July 1st, at around 1pm PST, starting on the CSA Drill Camp server, followed by organized play on whatever Skirmishes server is most populated at the time.

This being our first official event, we ask that everyone in the unit who has access to Skirmishes at this time try their damnedest to attend.

[Kukuk80]

Good luck guys!

Reminder to PM myself or Cpt. Mitchell for the company Teamspeak information if you do not currently posses it.

[ZoSo]

I'd love to join this battalion, as I was born and raised in North Carolina. I also had family die for the Confederacy and my father and brother are members of "Sons of the Confederacy". One of my ancestors is Eli R. Eury from the 42nd Regiment North Carolina Infantry - C Company (M230 Roll 12)

I am in the War of Rights closed Alpha, so I could start to play with the group immediately. My background in FPS games goes all the way back to the days of DOS (pre-Windows 95), with games like Jedi Knight Dark Forces, Doom, Wolfenstein, etc. I am a former IT lead for multiple companies, including Lowe's HQ and North Carolina State Government, specializing in hardware.

I ran my first FPS clan in 2003 for the first COD game (the only one I liked from that series, ever). I am a website owner and author, specializing in audio. I have been a forum moderator for a half dozen sites over the years including Guru3D, VideoCardz.com, Thirdgen.org, XtremeSystems, etc.

Please let me know if there is something I should read before joining, like if there is a sign up document or similar. BTW, I volunteered in the company tool already.
