Confederate Artillery Officer, 1861–1862
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses the circumstances of Ramseur's promotion to the state militia after his resignation from the U.S. Army. It reports that Ramseur applied for a commission in the new Confederate army. The chapter notes that on the way south, Ramseur stopped to see his mentor, Daniel Harvey Hill, who was concluding his tenure as superintendent at the North Carolina Military Institute in Charlotte, and quickly received an appointment as first lieutenant. The chapter further notes that Ramseur was offered a more attractive opportunity on the way to his posting in the Department of Mississippi. It reports that he was immediately elected as captain of the eponymous light battery (Company A, Tenth North Carolina State Troops), and that, within a month's time, he was promoted to the rank of major in the state militia.
