. Histoires des différents régiments et bataillons de Caroline du Nord, dans la grande guerre 1861-'65 . l'expédition galante a été dirigée par CommanderJohn Taylor Wood. On pouvait s'attendre à ce que des officiers si manicloylés, qui quittèrent la marine fédérale et se battent pour les confédérés, tentent une action aussi galante, et si l'ennemi avait attaqué les forts, les thechances sont qu'ils auraient été couronnés de succès, car la garnison de gaires n'était pas préparée pour une attaque sur le flanc de la rivière, le côté le plus vulnérable.

That night our command pulled up to Kinston, tired andfagged from four days of work and unrest, and so we wentback to our ships at Richmond. B. P. LOYALL. Norfolk, Va., 2 February, 1901. *NoTE —General Pickett was evidently a favorite at Richmond and thecommand of this expedition, as of part of the charge at Gettysburg, wasgiven him as opportunity to earn higher promotion.
