Acclaimed as "the finest state roster ever published" and a "magnificent achievement," North Carolina Troops is an invaluable resource for scholars, local historians, genealogists, and Civil War enthusiasts. Each indexed volume contains unit histories and the names and service records of approximately 7,000 North Carolinians who served in the Civil War.
Weymouth Tyree Jordan joined the faculty of Florida State University in 1949 and served until his death in 1968. He was acting head of the Department of History from 1954-1955 and head of the department until 1964.
The roster is a valuable resource. The regimental histories are bare-bones, but useful as starting points. Students of this history should be grateful for the tremendous effort that went into producing these volumes. I am.
